Now with another chance, of course, I had to seize it.
After chatting with him for a bit, I refocused and continued to concentrate on my work.
I lost track of time when I got busy.
When I surfaced from my work, it was already dark.
I was the only one left in the huge office.
I stood up slowly and stretched my stiff body.
Then, I tidied up my desk and prepared to leave.
I got downstairs and saw a familiar figure.
Isabel was waiting outside, holding a delicate insulated lunch box.
When I came out, she was just looking at her wristwatch, her expression impatient.
However, seeing me, she dropped the impatience instantly.
"Ethan, I've been waiting for you."
She strode towards me. I glanced at her indifferently and walked towards the roadside.
"Ethan, you must be exhausted from working so late. This is the meal I made for you, all your favorites. Could you do me the honor of tasting it?"
Isabel quickly caught up, her eyes pleading and cautious as she spoke.
These were the looks I used to give her after our arguments when I would appease her.
She was using my method on me.
Love should be mutual.
We had been in love for several years, but she only understood that after our breakup.
"Isabel, please remember we have broken up."
"I didn't agree! Ethan, I don't understand why things have become like this between us. We were about to get married, and we had even set the wedding date. My parents also brought many valuable gifts to visit your parents. Can't you see our sincerity?"
