Chapter 615: You Don’t Deserve It
Helen’s POV:
Lucy and Jane went on a business trip to Florida.On her first night away, Lucy called me and said in a tone of admiration, "I have to say, Jane is really something."
"Lucy, focus on your work.Don’t let my problems with her affect your work," I replied.
"It doesn’t matter.But this woman frustrated me easily.She’s right.Since I’m a headhunter, I shouldn’t be confined to the same type of position.I know nothing about the technical posts of Zhester Technology I’ll be totally screwed if I’ll have to take over that part of the recruitment work." Lucy already began to praise Jane after spending less than 24 hours with her.
Indeed, Jane’s existence could make people doubt their own abilities, Some people were born with extraordinary intelligence.Their mere existence was a kind of pressure for others.Jane was such a person, and so was George.
Therefore, they were a perfect match.
Simply put, Jane was miles out of my league and I couldn’t even hope to compete with her Even a fool would choose Jane over me.My head was nearly split in two from the force of my headache.
For most of the night, I had thought that I heard a sound.It was the bang the door made when George slammed it.
For some reason, I kept getting the feeling that the door was not closed.
Several times during the night, I got up to confirm that it was indeed close Sleep eluded me and I kept tossing and turning I clutched the phone in my hand tighter and tried to suppress the pain threatening to split my heart in two.
"Lucy, I think I made a mistake.I should never have slept with George Things would have been a lot easier if I hadn’t," I complained in low voice.
On the other end of the phone, Lucy sighed and tried to comfort me, "Now that it has happened, you don’t have any choice than to face it.Stop dwelling on it and just concentrate on your work.Once the case is wrapped up, you won’t have any reason to see him again."
"Okay" I answered sulkily.
Jane’s POV:
In the evening when we were back in the hotel room, I initiated a video call to George and we discussed business, When I booked the room, 1 had specifically chosen a standard room so that I could get to observe Lucy On the other side of the video, George’s face was extremely sullen.
"Are you sick?" I asked in concern "No.Do you have anything else to say?"
George’s voice was low but not cold.He looked weak.And he was a little absent-minded.I glanced at Lucy who was lying on the bed and was about to go to sleep.I suppressed my irritation and plastered a small smile on my face.
"Lucy is right here Do you want to speak with her?"
"No."
His answer was curt and riddled with impatience It was the first time I had seen such a negative expression on George’s face when we talked about business Stunned by his attitude, I couldn’t help but mutter, "You should go home and rest.Don’t stay up late."
George mumbled some sort of answer and hung up the call the second the words were out of my mouth I put away my phone and looked at Lucy.
"Did the two of you fight?"
George was not in a good mood right now.He looked sad and a bit down In the span of the years since I had known George, I had only seen him like this once before.
It was when he just traveled abroad.
He was in low spirits for half a semester Back then, I had simply assumed it was the culture shock of living in a foreign country, but I found out later that that was not the case Back then, George looked like he had lost his soul After a while, he became engrossed in the hectic schedule of his studies and participating in different competitions.He also started a business not long after.
Gradually, he had regained his spirit So many years had passed and the memory was almost forgotten, but now I saw him look just like that again As if he had lost his soul.I thought about it for a long while, but I couldn’t figure out the reason for this change.
Before I came to Florida, he was fine.
The company developed smoothly, and there was no sudden change in his life.He shouldn’t have been like this.I turned to Lucy and asked again, "Did you quarrel with George?"
"Quarrel? He and 1? There is no reason for us to quarrel."
Lucy was clearly confused by my question.She tucked herself in and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
The careless reaction ignited my anger. What did George see in such a woman? When I booked the room.
I deliberately chose a double bed so that I could be close to Lucy. I needed to see first hand the type of charm she had.
Why was George so obsessed with her? After getting along with her today, I was even more confused. Lucy knew how close I was to George, but she always acted as if she didn’t care about it at all.
Even when I made a video call with George in front of her just now, she didn’t care. Was this really what a normal girlfriend should do? Besides, Lucy should be aware of the relationship between Helen and I
yet she hadn’t mentioned anything about Helen I looked at her and thought that she was either an expert at scheming or she was simply very confident in George’s love for her I couldn’t see through her It was the first time that I couldn’t see through a person completely
"Did Helen say anything about me?" I asked tentatively Lucy’s eyes sprang open She sat up and stared at me unhappily
"She told me that you were her father’s daughter with another woman My face darkened I didn’t expect her to be so straightforward So she knew everything was simply pretending to be polite to me Swallowing thickly.
I suppressed my anger and pressed once again, "Have you ever told George about this?"
"You don’t deserve it” Lucy looked straight into my eyes and declared frankly before she lay back in bed, No one had ever made a mockery of me in years But again, I bottled up my anger and continued with my line of questioning "How long have you been with George? Did the two of you start dating only recently or it happened right after he came back from abroad? Since I couldn’t figure it out on my own, I thought it was more efficient to ask her directly I didn’t want to waste my time on this woman anymore than I had to She harrumphed loudly and glared at me "Jane, you are annoying I don’t care about George at all, okay? If you want to pursue him, then go ahead and confess your love to him.
Don’t do all these useless things behind his back.
The two of you have been friends for so many years and you even started a business together Obviously, the two of you share a deep relationship.
Shouldn’t that be enough reason to be able to confess your love? Stop loving him from a distance just express your love!"
Lucy rushed out in a single breath and Mopped back into bed dramatically she turned her back on me and was out like a light. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
My teeth ground in anger as 1 stared at her back She was showing off and I couldn’t stand the very thought of it.
In all my years abroad, I had never once come across such a person.
For a moment, all i felt was disbelief and then a deep sense of frustration
