She was wondering, could it be?
Dare not think, and she didn’t know how to think. But he had gone, and she didn't know where he had gone to. The guy who asked her to marry him was simply talking about it carelessly!
Suddenly she laughed, "Lilah, let's not talk about this bad thing, okay? Where are we going to eat tonight?"
Esther went to dinner with Lilah almost every day after work this week.
"I can't be with you tonight. My husband is back from a business trip, I’ve to go back to stay with him tonight! Sorry, Esther. I’ll accompany you on another day!" Lilah apologetically patted Esther's face. "I'll go first, and you can finish the job and go back early.
"Okay! Have a good time!" Esther blinked and watched Lilah leaving in a hurry. She shrugged her shoulders and stopped smiling.
"So boring!"
"You can talk to me if you're bored!" A man's voice suddenly rang out and startled Esther. Then, she stood up and casually greeted him from a distance.
In this week, she had asked around and found out that Ethel was Hudson’s illegitimate half-brother who followed his mother's surname. He was a well-known playboy. So, she always kept in mind to stay away from this man.
"Ethel, it's time to get off work!" Esther greeted politely. "I'll go first!"
Ethel was stunned. In this week, he was fishing for her information about the things between her and Hudson, also her and Elijah, but what he was curious about the most was the relationship between Elijah and Esther.
But she didn’t say anything about it, and it had made him even more curious.
Esther thought Ethel came to work every day in this week, and no one could be as nosy as him.
But she just didn’t say it, carrying her bag to go outside, she said in her mind, ‘You deserve to endure my silence, you damn idiot!’
Thinking of Ethel's annoying look, Esther showed a wry smile. These days they were too boring, she hadn’t cracked a joke for a long time.
Then she thought of Lilah's comment about studying in college, but she hadn't raised any money this week. She needed five million in less than three weeks; how could she get the money? She couldn't help but get depressed again.
Casino, did she have to go to the casino? Elijah said not to go to the casino in G City because there were all cheaters.
After Esther left, Ethel also followed out and walked to her when he saw her leaving.
After catching up with her, he saw her sad face with a little desperation on it, and this shocked Ethel. Was this an expression that such a young girl should have?
