I didn't answer him. I took out the necklace from the cabinet and handed it to him without saying a word.
"Give it to her."
Charles was stunned at first, but then he snorted.
"In the past, if I gave your things to Flora, I was afraid that you would do everything to stop me. Why did you suddenly become so sensible today? What are you thinking about?"
I was weak, but I showed him a n indifferent expression on my face.
"Do you think I have the strength or the mind to play tricks on you in my current state?"
Charles glared at me as if I was in an unreasonable manner.
He snatched the necklace from my hand and walked out.
"That's for the best. If you were half as considerate and sensible as Flora, we wouldn't have quarreled every day."
With a bang of the door, Charles left.
He went to look for his childhood sweetheart to please her.
What a joke. He was like me in front of Flora.
He was like a puppy that tried its best to make its beloved happy every day.
I, Who never drank, fell asleep again after getting drunk.
The next morning, a series of urgent ringtone woke me up.
I looked at the number. It was my boss, Aidan.
"Siybl, you should have come back to work after your vacation today, right? Why haven't you arrived at the company yet?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Blake. I wanted to take another day off today. I overslept..."
"Do you still remember that I told you to go to the Pacific Region to expand a new market?"
Half a year ago, Mr. Blake thought that I was capable and wanted me to be the general manager of the Pacific Region Branch.
However, the office was in New Zealand. I carefully mentioned it to Charles, but he immediately rejected it.
There was no reason in that he couldn't accept a long-distance relationship, let alone abroad.
If I decided to go New Zealand, we would break up.
At that time, I refused Mr. Blake without hesitation and chose to stay with Charles.
"I remember. Didn't you send Daniel there later? Why..."
"Alas, Daniel died of a illness yesterday, which really caught me off guard. After thinking about the current situation, only you have the ability to operate the branch company."
To be honest, I was very regretful to have given up this opportunity to be the general manager of a branch.
In the past six months, I didn't make much progress in the company's headquarters.
I didn't expect to have a second chance now. I would not miss it again.
