Bye, My Irresistible Love

Jane’s POV: 

After George exited the meeting room, Boswell and I also stepped out and walked alongside him.

Both Boswell and I were a little confused. It was just a trivial matter. Even if the document was lost, it had nothing to do with Zhester Technology. At most, it amounted to a dereliction of duty of the law firm. I couldn’t understand why George had blown the whole matter out of proportion. This was not George’s style of handling matters. I didn’t realize it until I saw Lucy walking past us and towards Helen in the meeting room.

 It appeared to me that George had created a fuss to help Lucy’s best friend, Helen, to get justice. It was about Lucy, not Helen. George was using public office for private gain. He was pampering Lucy too much. Boswell whispered in my ear, “Is he really serious this time?” 

“How would I know?” I looked at the tall, stone figure walking in front of me and felt a little confused. I had known 

George for so many years, but I had never seen him behaving so irrationally. He had always been particular about separating public matters from private interests, and he never brought his personal emotions to work. But ever since my return, 1 had noticed George breaching his own principles for Lucy several times. Was he so in love with Lucy? Helen and Lucy walked out of the meeting room arm in arm. I could vaguely hear them whispering about what had transpired in the meeting room. 

“I told you a long time ago that you should not befriend someone like Mattie. She is a back stabber. You should have taken revenge on her when you came back from Philly last time. Do you know why she always sets you up? It is because you are an easy target!” 

“Oh! I see.”

 “If George hadn’t bailed you out this time, you would have taken the blame again.”
