Jane disagreed with my thoughts. “Besides, you’re divorced now. Do you think a few words will make him give up? It’s better to set a deadline like you’ve done now.”

That was precisely what I had considered.

When I first learned that Jack had been in love with someone for twenty years, I thought that girl was very fortunate. But upon realizing it was me, I felt more of a sense of indebtedness.

Indebtedness…

It was hard to respond to.

During my silence, Jane leaned on the desk, her fingers playing with my earrings. “Charlotte, why not give Jack a chance? In this day and age, such a devoted man is rare.”

“It’s precisely because he’s so good that I need to be more cautious.”

Otherwise, it would be playing with someone’s feelings

A hundred percent sincerity deserves a hundred percent sincerity in return. If I can’t give that, then he should be encouraged to find someone who can truly reciprocate his feelings.

Jane couldn’t persuade me and gave up. “By the way, let’s go to the usual place for dinner tonight.” The “usual place” she mentioned was a private club we used to frequent.

I clicked my tongue. “Isn’t that place too expensive?”

“Don’t worry, I’m treating.”

“Did the money just fall from the sky?”

“It actually did fall from the sky.”

Jane stood up with a bright smile, her red lips curving up. “Tom gave me a breakup fee which I didn’t accept, so he ended up putting it all on my membership card. I couldn’t return it, so I might as well use it to treat everyone to dinner.”

“Alright then.”

I smiled. “Thank you, Miss Greenwood for treating us to a luxurious experience.

Thinking about the dinner, I left work at five in the evening.

Jane and I drove separately, and everyone arrived at the same time.

However, we still hit the evening rush hour, and when we reached the club, Jack was already there. “Slow down.”

Seeing me in a hurry, Jack came out to offer me his arm and gently reminded, “It rained earlier, and the -ground is slippery. Be careful not to twist your ankle.”

I smiled lightly. “I’m sorry for making you wait while we’re out for dinner,

He looked helpless. “Why are you so formal with me?”

“I’m not,” I smiled and denied.

Jane, briskly, confirmed the private room with the staff and led everyone inside.

“You all go in first. I need to go to the toilet.”

I turned off in the direction of the toilets.

After taking care of my needs and coming out, I passed by a private room and heard loud, mocking voices seeping through the slightly ajar door.

“You’re truly something else! Who sends so many opening ceremony flower baskets? 999 flower baskets, are you proposing or confessing?”

1 suddenly stopped in my tracks.

It sounded like they were 7-

about the flower baskets lan had sent this morning.

999 flower baskets–surely, besides lan, no one else would send such a huge number today?

Another voice responded, “I’m not laughing at you. Man, if you’re going to be so obvious, at least don’t let someone else take the blame!”

“Man, since you’re so obviously helping her, why don’t you just come clean with her?”

“I agree. Isn’t love about going through thick and thin together? Are you really going to be like birds in the forest who scatter when disaster strikes? Besides, our situation isn’t that extreme yet. If you’re worried that things might go awry, just send her abroad first. If she’s unwilling to even do that, then you might as well break up thoroughly.”

“Shut up.”

A stern voice cut through, mixed with other voices from inside the room, making it difficult to hear clearly. But my first reaction was that the voice sounded somewhat familiar!

I raised my hand and grasped the handle of the door to the private room, pushing it open from the outside.
