Helen’s POV:
“NO!” Despite my refusal, George insisted on walking me home.
“Are you sure you‘d rather stand there all the time?” With no other choice, I decided to let him escort me home. When I opened the door, he was left stupefied by what he saw.
“What‘s going on? Where‘s all your furniture?”
Ignoring him, I turned on the lights in the apartment. My apartment had become empty. The sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, and the dining table and chairs in the living room had all gone. Since there wasn‘t any furniture, it looked like I had just finished renovating the place and hadn‘t started living here yet.
“Helen, where‘s your stuff?” George asked with a stern expression.
“Keeping the furniture here is pointless, so I sold them.” I decided to tell him the truth. In truth, when there were still furniture in my apartment, I always felt like there was a blind spot that I couldn‘t see. I never felt safe in my own apartment because of that. And whenever I was home alone, I‘d feel like someone was staring at me from a corner that I couldn‘t see.
Honestly, it was good that my apartment was empty now. At the very least, I could see everything at one glance. It was kind of weird talking to George in the empty living room, so I wanted him to leave as soon as possible.
“I‘m already home. You can leave now.”
“When did you sell all your furniture?” he asked with a straight face.
“Last month.”
