Be Eaten Up with Love

We were just like a normal couple. Tangled and kissed in the car. In this moment, I hoped the time could stop in this snug
morning. No traps, no conspiracies, no loves nor hates and no truth making pain on me that even made me could not stay alive.
I tried my best and finally arrived at the office before 8:30 in the morning.
I met Wayne coincidently when I got on to the lift since he was inspecting departments. He was standing right behind me in the
crowded lift and talking new project that launched recently with other senior executives.
"Mr. Gilbert, we have talked with the government about the demolition of the old town on Jianning street. Our plan of new
building project can be launched after the demolition."
Old town on Jianning Street, that was where my uncle lives, wasn't it?
More accurately, it was the address of my home!
In that year, after the car accident of my parents, my home on Jianning Street was left unused. Even though my father was a
dignitary, he had never corrupted so he did not own too many properties. The only blue-chip he got was the three-room
apartment.
Then, I was kept in my uncle's home. The family of my uncle lived in countryside at that time. Their living conditions was tough,
so I suggested them to move to my home.
When I was 10 years old, I did not understand the meaning of set the fox to keep the geese or it is easier to call up an evil spirit
than to allay it!
My uncle's family moved to the apartment my parents left to me. From that moment, Harriet made the apartment hers!
I didn't argue about that in all these years. After all, my uncle kept me for 10 years. The kindness of him was always there. I
would be sent to the orphanage if he did not adopt me!
By the meaning of Wayne, the apartment was included in the demolition.
"Ok, good job for all of you these days."
I stood behind him in silent. The lift stopped at 50th floor.
I took my steps out when Wayne had got off the lift and turned left. I followed behind him gingerly.

He did not say anything to me all the way!
In the company, we were just like strangers, pretending that we did not know each other’s at all.
I started working immediately when I got to my desk.
At about 9 o'clock. There was an enthusiastic sound of greeting suddenly went off in the quiet office.
" Ms. Hunter! Welcome back!"
" Ms. Hunter! Did you receive anything in Japan? Anything like a romance?"
I raised my head looked along the others' sights to the doorway. There was a woman standing gracefully erect.
The first view went into my eyes was her “S" figure. She was in a lavender suit that made her figure more alluring! Black curved
hair was like a fall, looked a little lazy and charming! The view of her back could enchant a bunch of people in one second.
I lifted my lips and showed a meaningful smile.
The female employees of Wayne were really all beauties.
This Ms. Hunter left alone the others; her long legs could be played for a year!
I was calm in my mind. But I expression changed suddenly since I saw the face of the woman clearly!
She was the woman who was holding Wayne in arms and kissing him in the nightclub last night.
His fiancée in the future was working in the Secretary department in his company.
My heart went down suddenly. My condition was like a burning fire was poured on a pot of cold water.
"Enough, don't be garrulous anymore. I will give you guys wedding candies when I'm engaged." Sally glanced at the people with
a light smile. There was an expression of happiness on her face.
" Is Ms. Hunter really going to marry Mr. Gilbert? Jesus! The most precious and eligible bachelor will be occupied."
Girls in the office crowd around Sally and talked lively all together. Even though they were telling congratulating words, their
jealous expression was changing differently.

"Ok, there were two new girls joined our department when I was not here these day, Sarah and Lydia, right? I will buy a dinner
for all of us as a greeting for you two joining the big family of Secretary department!"
“ Of course we go since Ms. Hunter is buying..."
...
The whole morning passed in muddled.
I was not myself on working for the whole morning. I even made the most basic mistake in translating.
I got back to my seat soullessly after I was rebuked by Sally.
The scene of her rebuking me with a harsh countenance suddenly appeared in my mind.
" Lydia, the Secretary department is always an elite department under my supervision. I don't want the reputation of the whole
department ruined by the only rat like you." She glanced at me contemptuously like she was looking at an idiot.
I never expected that the elegant and graceful Sally could say something so vicious like this.
There was a thousand miles difference between the appearance she made for others and the acerb appearance now!
" I was just back to the company and heard a lot of rumors about you. University girls are capable that can even make tricks by
sleeping with men. I don't care which director makes you here with hidden rules. Since you joined the company, you are my
people in the Secretary department. If you make stupid mistakes again, I will report to Mr. Gilbert and fire you!"
