Chapter 7%
When the plane broke through the clouds, I looked down to find the place that had trapped me for twenty years,only to find that it was so small that I couldn’t even find it.
I booked the earliest flight to Napolis,that was the place I had longed for twenty years ago and I had mentioned it to Bernard countless times,saying that I wanted to go there to take wedding photos.
He always gave me the excuse that he would take me there when we had money%
I waited and waited for twenty years and when Bernard had tens of millions of assets,he still didn’t fulfill my Napolis dream.
When the plane landed, there were more than ten missed calls on my phone, all from Bernard.
While I was hesitating whether to return the call, Bernard called again.%
As soon as I answered the call, he started to scold me, “Why don’t you answer the phone? I allowed you to go out and play for a while last night, but you let your heart go wild, right? I asked my assistant to send you a black card!“%
I didn’t say anything
Bernard was silent for a while on the other end of the phone and his tone softened a little.%
“Are you still in a bad mood? Okay, I wronged you this morning and made you feel wronged. I’m sorry, okay?“%
Such a perfunctory apology.”
This was exactly Bernard’s usual style. Every time he made me sad, he bowed his head and gave me a way out, thinking that I would happily and gratefully forgive him.%
Yes, it was not easy for him, a grown man, to bow his head and give me a soft hand.%
I spoke lightly.
“You don’t have to apologize. It’s late, go to bed early.”
Bernard laughed heartily.
“I’m glad you’re not angry. When I come back from my business trip, I’ll give you a gift. You’ll definitely like it. Oh, there’s another thing. Didn’t Hanley go on a business trip with me? There’s a document that needs to be copied. The company needs it urgently tomorrow. You can copy it for her. Writing is very simple. It’s only about 20,000 words. Please work hard. Give it to me before 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. Go to Hanley’s house to get the document and wash her dishes. Hanley left in a hurry this morning and didn’t have time to clean up.”
I frowned and was about to speak when a female voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Chavez, can you pass me a bath towel? I forgot to take it.”
After a rustling sound, Hanley’s voice became clearer./
“What did Hadley say? Is she unwilling? Ah, I don’t want to trouble Sister Hadley so much. It’s really that the document is urgent and I’m not in Linkon tonight. Mr. Chavez, don’t make things difficult for Hadley. After all, it was my negligence that delayed the work. I will take the responsibility, Hadley has always been lazy and stubbom. She is most afraid of trouble. If this matter affects the relationship between you and your husband and wife, it will be my fault. I know Hadley’s temper best. She’s too difficult to coax.“%
Hanley’s words sounded like she was thinking about me, but her words were full of disparagement for me.
We grew up together and she had always been like this.%
She liked to package herself as a victim with grievances. Everyone bought her tricks and rushed for her without hesitation.
