I've Been There Before

Was it enough?

Gloria opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.

Grace still felt painful. Others said that it was over. It was all over. Why she you still hold a grudge?

Just like those families hiding under the neon light, there were many stories of many families under the thousands of lights.

Usually, the one who was betrayed and bullied would be forced to forgive the sinner.

“Look, I’ve already apologized. Why do you still hate me? You are vengeful. You are stingy, and you are not generous at all.”

And then the onlookers who thought themselves as righteous would say, “He apologized. What else do you want? Can’t you just be nice?

Only those who had experienced those pains would be able to understand this feeling.

Gloria looked at Grace who was in pain. She wanted the foolish girl in front of her to be happy.

But Grace was not really foolish. She was sober and more determined than anyone else. Otherwise, Gloria could not imagine what would she react after falling from heaven to hell, and being hated by everyone all of a sudden.

After experiencing all those things, how many people could continue living without changing their original minds?

Even Gloria herself ... She picked up the glass of wine and took a deep sip.

She herself changed, too.

Grace picked up her bag. When she left, she took another deep look at Gloria and said, “Gloria, who in this world really knows you?”

The question was confusing.

Gloria was puzzled. “You …”

“In this world, you may not even know yourself.” Gloria looked at the woman standing at the door. Grace told her calmly, “Gloria, your boss thought he understood me.”

Gloria opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything. Why did she feel that the topic was getting more and more confusing? She somehow felt strange and uneasy.

She looked at the door and saw Grace smiling. Grace said, “He was wrong.”

The door opened and closed. In the room, only Gloria was left standing beside the table, her heart beating fast. There was still the fragrance of tea in the air. Apart from that, there seemed to be no trace of Grace’s previous visit.
