Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

Lucy needed to vent so she called me to complain.recently, she had been recruiting talents for Zhester Technology.She had to often fly all around the country to meet candidates and now she was feeling tired and had lost some weight both from not eating on time and from the stress of the job.

"I’m too exhausted to hold on to this stressful job.When it’s over, I promise you I will quit! I will enjoy being the relationship blogger with an easy mind.You know what? Dyer is a damn freak.Even for a small technical position, he insists on interviewing the candidates in person.I completed several rounds of interviews with the recruitment manager and the technical director.After we shortlisted the candidates and made our final hiring decision, he rejected our choice.All our efforts were flushed down the pan.Now we have to start the whole process again and find new people.Does he think that there are actually many candidates who can meet his requirements? It’s easy for him to say that.But the reality is that his demands are ludicrous.I’d like to see when he will be able to set up the team.Zhester Technology has given him a deadline to meet.If he does not get the team up and running within the prescribed time, then he would be fired! Gosh! What was he thinking?!"

Lucy ranted and raved over Dyer without taking a breath.I listened quietly, chuckled and did not interrupt her tirade.

Maybe Lucy didn’t realize that although she was cursing Dyer, she was really worried that he would get fired for not completing the task timeously. it seemed that their relationship was smoothly oiled.

However, George didn’t try to hide anything and replied tersely, "Dyer is right.

It’s also my rule to hire the perfect candidate or leave the position vacant."I glared at him with widened eyes.

He had eavesdropped on our conversation.

What business did he have to interrupt us? As expected, Lucy was not excited to see George at my home.She reacted as if she had seen a vampire.

"What is he doing at your place at this hour? Are you back together? Helen, have you forgotten the pain this man has caused you? Take my advice.Don’t reconcile with him.It will be the biggest mistake you make!"

Lucy was furious.If she had supernatural powers, she would have come right through the video and confronted George.I took a look at George to register his reaction to Lucy’s outrage.

Then I told her softly, "No, we have not reconciled.It’s a little too complicated to explain over the phone.Let’s talk about it when you get back."

It was not that we got back together, but George was there to keep me safe.I felt scared when I was alone at home, but with him by my side, I feared nothing. That night, George and I still slept together like the previous night.He gently held me in his arms, stroked my back and silently comforted me.

I didn’t know if it was because his comfort actually worked or something else, but I soon fell asleep. But this time, I didn’t sleep for long.I felt myself dropping into a world of another realm.

In a trance-like state, I heard my late father call out to me in an audible whisper.I knew it was just an illusion, so I closed my eyes and ignored it.

But after a while, the voice became louder and louder and soon grew into a sharp roar.
