Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV:

 I had no idea how I managed to walk out of the meeting room. Right now, I was unsteady on my feet, and I felt as if I were stepping on cotton. What was Jane doing here? Why did she have to come back after all this time? I could not even remember the last time I saw her. I had thought that pain and resentment would fade away with time, and I could finally move on. But when I saw Jane again, I realized that my grievances were still there, imprinted in my heart. I could still remember everything as if it had just happened yesterday. In the elevator, I could hear the employees gossiping to one another. 

“Did you see the woman beside Mr. Affleck? I heard that she is Jane Campbell, AKA, the mysterious product designer.” 

“Oh my God! She is Jane Campbell? I never expected that she would be such a beauty. She’s so perfect! She has an elegant temperament, and she looks stunning. Oh, and her body? It’s well-proportioned. She’s like a model!” 

“I thought she would be just another boring woman. You know, like any other product designers. I didn’t expect her to be so pretty.” 

“Actually, the gossip chat room of our company has found her background. Apparently, she and George were childhood friends and even studied abroad together. They also took up the same major. After graduating from college, they started a business. It seems that George was closer to Jane than Boswell!” 

“Oh my. I’m sure she’ll be the president’s future wife.”

 “No wonder I didn’t see Lucy after New Year’s Day. Rumor has it that she’s George’s girlfriend. It turns out that she’s just a mistress. Now that his real girlfriend has shown up, she probably has no face to show in the company anymore.” 

Jane’s name rang in my ears again and again. I just watched as the number on the screen changed, indicating which floor I was on. How I hoped that the doors of the elevator would soon open. I wanted to get away from her and everything that reminded me of her. Every second that I was in the elevator listening to the employees’ gossip was torture. I wished to get the hell out of here as soon as possible, but time seemed to have slowed down 

Meanwhile, my phone beeped relentlessly It was messages from George
