Chapter 55
I get a bad feeling in my heart. Sylvia isn’t nice to me, but at least she’s been punished. My conscience is uneasy if I continue with this punishment.
“The building opposite is the most well-known department store in city a, which also provides a large selection of food and beverages.” It’s well-known. The steak I’m taking you to eat today is a century-old brand….” Brenda was in a good mood.
And my gaze was drawn to a sign for a French restaurant.
“Can you tell me what you’re looking at?” Brenda kept her gaze fixed on me. “The western restaurant is the most expensive.” It’s teeming with rich investors! We’re not attending this one! The cheapest steak in town is supposed to be 1988! It’s known as the Madrid Restaurant! Is the decoration and layout of great quality?”
I didn’t say anything. I saw Donald and another woman come into the private area, laughing and talking to each other.
He had lunch with a woman!
I only now become aware of his existence! Because he stands out amongst the rest of the throng. I can recognize him at a glance even across a sea of people!
Can’t you join me for dinner? Who is that lady? Is it more important than me?
“What are you looking at, Trista?” Brenda took my hand in hers. “Come on, it’s too pricey.” I simply cannot afford it. I’ll invite you again the next time I get paid!”
I was completely distracted when eating steak. I kept picturing Donald and the lady walking into the box together.
Donald is a man of great devotion. How is he able to have an affair so soon?
“Isn’t it delicious, Trista?”
“Trista…. “Do you not feel ill?”
……
“It’s okay,” I shook my head, forcing a smile.
How could I be so engaged in Donald’s friendship with that woman? for a long time. Should I let myself fall in love with him?
No, it can’t be that quick…. How can I be emotional in front of him?
“Are you all right, Trista?” Brenda rubbed my back.
“Perhaps I’ll use the restroom.” I stood up and walked away. When I passed the western restaurant’s door, I could see Donald seated in the box, talking to the woman.
Because the box’s door was translucent and Donald was only sitting by it, his every move was visible to me.
My heart is in pain.
Enter the room and ask directly?
Would my behavior be too inappropriatel?
It’s difficult to maintain it in your heart if you don’t ask.
“Are you coming in for dinner, Miss?” “There is a discount today,” said the waiter standing at the door. The price of a steak is just 888. If you are a new guest, you can also get a cup of coffee for free.”
“No, thank you.” I bolted in a rush.
I was distractedly working all afternoon. “Trista, I have to work overtime tonight,” a pair of fast-moving high heels approached me. You and a few colleagues from the Department should remain..”
Emma asked.
Emma asked. “OK,” I answered pleasantly, raising my eyes.
Shouldn’t it be better not to see Donald again?
“Oh my God! Every new year, I have to work extra hours!!” Brenda sighed.
“Come on, I think overtime pay is a terrific idea!” Another female coworker was overjoyed. “This way, I’ll be able to save up for new year’s clothes.” I don’t have to worry about not being able to afford many things. I. “Perhaps I can afford a high-end bag!”
I didn’t say anything. They were deciding where to eat at this point. I got out my phone and texted Donald, saying, “Work extra tonight, don’t wait for me to eat.”
“OK, I’ve got something to do tonight.” I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat with you.” His SMS message was sent to me, and it made my heart drop.
When I was at dinner with my coworkers, I was distracted and did not participate in the chatter with my colleagues.
What’s going on with Donald?
He’s not going to have an affair?
Thinking thus, my heart ached abruptly, as if an invisible hand had suddenly grasped my heart, ready to uproot it!
“Trista, I’d want to take you out to sushi tonight!” This is the greatest sushi in our area! The price is a little high! ”
“Are you referring to the sushi restaurant in the department store?” It’s excessively pricey! Why do we not eat hamburgers? ll!”
“How do you feel?”
……
I didn’t respond to them. I was taken aback to see Donald walking past!
Is that him?
What brings him here?
To my amazement, he was followed by a woman, even though it was still lunchtime. They moved forward, laughing and talking as if they were going out to supper.
“What do you think, Trista?” Brenda shook my arm as she held it.
“Oh, okay….”
Brenda decided, “After we eat, we’ll pack Starbucks and go to the office, where we’ll battle till the wee hours of the morning!”
“Even the tiniest Starbucks cup costs over 30!”
“I’ve got instant coffee.”
My gaze has been drawn to the two moving figures. Finally, I can’t stop myself from saying, “y I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
“OK, come as soon as you finish.”
“OK.” I made the decision to come forward and see what occurred.
I stepped into the Madrid restaurant while watching the two figures talking and laughing. I followed in their footsteps and smiled as they entered the box at midday.
They ate together again, but this time they didn’t tell me!
When the server at the door noticed me, he quickly said, “Miss, our steak is extremely wonderful.” Today, there are preferential activities. a steak is only 699 yuan and a drink worth 99 yuan is free.”
“Sorry, I’m looking for someone,” I said this time as I pushed the door open.
“Excuse me, miss, but who are you searching for?” Is it a visitor in the box or in the corridor? “I’ll show you the way.”
“No, I know he’s there.”
Step by step, I walked towards Donald through the sea of people, as if separated by hundreds of mountains and rivers.
He was taken aback as I opened the door and stood in front of him. “Trista, what brings you here?”
“Did you laugh?” I asked, with a strange look in my eyes.
Donald, on the other hand, gives the sense that he will never show his kind side to others. Except for me, he never grins.
But now he’s smiling at someone else!
“What’s the deal with you?” He stretched out and touched the side of my face. “What’s the matter?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He didn’t panic or fidget, but instead answered calmly to everything. This was not the scene I had imagined. I anticipated a plethora of options, but I didn’t expect him to be so composed as he is now.
He indulged me in front of other women
“Please excuse me, miss. We have a job ahead of us. Please excuse me.” I took Donald’s hand and walked away politely.
Despite his disbelief, he let me pull him away.
“Will my wife be envious as well?” He trailed after me, mocking.
I drew him to a quiet corner and inquired righteously, “Who is she?” “Are you eating with her these two meals?”
“That’s correct.”
My heart felt like a knife when I heard him admit it. “So you like other people, don’t you?”
even though I don’t want to ask such cruel questions. I’ve seen them eat two times now. T
It finally dawned on me that Donald occasionally lied to me when he stated he was busy!
