Cosset You Forever

She may be suffering inside but she tried to put on a face of enthusiasm in the office. She has to act professional at all times for herself and also for Nicole.

But Zoe could see right through the Lola's outer self. He has known Zoe for a long time. He paused his thoughts and said, "Lola, if you are free tonight, why not have a drink with me to relax?" Zoe painfully stood in front of the window and looked at the view outside.

Whenever Lola was sad, he was even sadder.

Zoe wanted to say it even louder: Lola, please allow me to protect you for the rest of your life!

But her mind was full of that man anyway. That man has everything one can ask for. Power, wealth, and fame among many others. Besides, what could he possibly give her to ensure her happiness when he himself was at a mess?

He did not have the courage to tell her his feelings. He feared that once he opened his heart to her, everything would change between them! He could not risk letting her go.

The office door slowly closed from the inside. Harry looked at the mess on the floor and instantly felt sorry for her.

He was here to commence the turnover of command but ended up trying to fix all of these. Lola looked so upset while talking to someone in the phone. She has been like that whenever she was alone.

Lola laughed dryly. She and Zoe could still hang out like the old times, merrily drinking in the bars in D City. However, she and Harry could no longer go back to the times when they were intimate with each other, passionate about making one another happy.

In a burst of harsh reality, her dry laugh finally broke into a sad weep. No matter what she do and will do, Harry was no longer hers to keep.

"Zoe, I really love him. I love him very much." Her voice was incredibly weak and the words hurt both of Zoe's and Harry's hearts deeply.

"Lola, I love you very much as well." Both of them had a moment of comfortable silence.

"Lola, sometimes stepping away is also a way of expressing love." There are different ways of showing one's love. Some would show it by being faithful and loyal companion. Others express it by stepping away for greater courses.

Lola paused, looked at Zoe with tears in her eyes and then said, "Stepping away?" She murmured to herself, "I thought of it, you know, I tried to let go of him. But it never worked. Never once did I successfully let go of him." She was really happy whenever she was with him. The happy feeling was the most genuine feeling she had in her lifetime.

Sometimes, they get into heated argument. Even then, she still felt safe and at home when her eyes linger on his handsome face.

Zoe heard how her voice has been so weak and his heart became filled of sorrow as if someone was cutting his flesh with a sharp knife. If Lola was unhappy, how could he just stand right here and do nothing about it?
