Ernest grew up with Yulia.
He knew her thoughts all too well. He probably knew her best in this world apart from her parents.
Because he was good at observing human nature.
Yulia was definitely the kind of person who hid her emotions very well. If they had not grown up together, Ernest might not be able to guess what she was thinking. "What do you mean by that?" Yulia stared at him incredulously and gradually revealed a miserable smile.
Ernest finally put on a serious expression and said solemnly, "You've joined Hanover Corporation for stime. I'm sure you know Quill has a girlfriend by now." "So what?" she asked.
Upon hearing this, Ernest knitted his eyebrows. So what? "Don't you like him?" he asked.
"Yeah, I do. I won't pretend in front of you. I do like him, but what does it have to do with him having a girlfriend?" Ernest was speechless.
"Just because he has a girlfriend, can't I even... love him secretly?" Yulia covered her heart and stressed each word. "Quill and I grew up together. I have loved him since I first met him. Even when I moved abroad, I never stopped loving him. Now, just because he has a girlfriend, I have to get rid of the affection completely? Am I not even allowed to work in the scompany as him?" Her confrontation made Ernest lose his tongue, but he soon found a way to retort. He took a few steps forward, rested his hand on Yulia's shoulder, and said softly, "He has found someone he likes now, so why do you want to do this to yourself?" "I'm willing." Yulia avoided his contact and took a step back. She gazed at Ernest coldly. "It's my business whether I like him; it has nothing to do with anyone. Even if we grew up together, you have no right to interfere." Ernest said, "Even if he never reciprocates your love, you are fine with it?" "Yes!" Seeing as if Ernest wanted to say more, Yulia interrupted him directly, "Ernest, say no more. Love is not something outsiders can interfere with. I believe you know it better than I do. If someone tells you to stop missing your late wife and marry another woman, would you?" These words had truly reached his heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErnest's late wife was his lifeblood and she was not to be blasphemed against. If someone told him to marry someone else, he would fall out with them.
Therefore, speople tried to persuade him in the beginning, but no one did soon later.
"You lost your tongue, haven't you? Don't talk about this toanymore. You can rest assured I won't do anything." Toward the end of her words, Yulia even sneered. Then she turned around and left.
Dazedly, Ernest stood there for a long tbefore he cto his senses. Then he sat down and helplessly pinched his glabella.
How troublesome. Yulia was much more stubborn than he thought.
To his surprise, she had changed a lot after so many years. However, the only thing that remained was her stubbornness.
She wouldn't do anything? He also hoped so.
Otherwise... he didn't want Quill and Yulia to never keep in touch ever again. Then, their friendship would go with the wind.
Originally, Ernest was planning to invite Yulia to join his company. If she had any difficulty, he could take care of her as well. After all, he also couldn't bear to see her suffer.
It was a pity that she was too headstrong.
After Yulia left the cafe, she stopped at a corner. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her fingertips and stood still.
From the moment of her family's misfortune until now, Yulia had never thought fate was unfair. After all, her father was the one who brought destruction upon her family. She blamed herself for being careless and not stopping her father intime.
But what about the present? What did she do wrong? She was just working in the company; she hadn't done anything else.
Yet Ernest called her out.
They were playmates who grew up together, but his words did not show any concern for her.
He didn't even ask if she was fine.
In fact, Yulia did not hope to receive any concern from Ernest, but she also did not want him to interfere in her affairs.
As for the matter on that day, he had mar it badly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYulia closed her eyes and left after she composed herself.
Soon Yulia returned to the company.
She took a half-day leave before going out. When she returned, her supervisor was a little surprised. "Yulia? Didn't you ask for a half-day leave? Why are you back?" Yulia smiled and replied softly, "Wendy, I've settled my affairs, so I cback early."
"I see." Wendy glanced at her appreciatively. "Great, it's good that you're willing to focus on your work.
ve But why do your eyes look a bit red? Have you been crying?" After that, she approached Yulia and scrutinized her.
Yulia was stunned by her sudden approach, but she quickly cto her senses. She shook her head and chuckled "No, accar passed by and blew up the dust as I walked. It happened to enter my eyes, so couldn't help rubbing my eyes. Does it look bad, Wendy? I'll go and clean up in the washroom first."
"It's okay, you look fine! You're so beautiful. You look pitiful with your red eyes." Wendy gently patted her on the shoulder. "You're great at your work, but you're... very stubborn. You can talk to me.velyou've faced any difficulty. I've probably been where you're at, so I can at least give you sadvice." "Thank you for your concern, Wendy. You're so kind." "Silly girl, go ahead and wash up." Wendy nudged her shoulder, and Yulia left.
As soon as she left, Wendy saw a figure sneaking at the door. Seeing her look over, she hid behind the door again.
Wendy squinted and trod out.
"Jennifer?" Jennifer was exposed.
"Why are you here instead of the front desk?" Wendy was speechless.
Jennifer glanced in the direction Yulia had left, then asked, "Wendy, is Yulia working under you?" "Yes, she is diligent and smart too. I intend to train her further. I'm sure she will be of great help." Wendy complimented.
