President's Substitute Wife

When I finished, his eyes were dim. I was afraid he misunderstood me, so I smiled and added, “since my parents left me, I realized that they were right.”

“Your parents...”

“My parents died in an air crash.”

I spoke with a flat expression and I was not sad.

It was not because I was not talking about myself.

Before that, I had thought about how I would tell others if this happened to me.

I thought I would never cry or show too much pain.

Sean looked at me and was silent for a long time before he said, “I’m sorry. I don’t know that.”

“It’s okay. These are all things of the past. People need to look forward.”

I put down the papers in my hands. My cell phone rang.

It was David.

I talked to him on the phone about the project.

When I hung up and looked up, I saw that Sean had finished his coffee. He stood by the sink and washed the cup.

I was stunned by the action.

This seemed to be the first time I had seen Sean wash.

This action made my heart ache.

He and Cindy should be happy.

If a man like Sean could wash his coffee cup after drinking it, he must have a good relationship with his wife.

He washed the cup and looked up at me.

I turned around and took out my cell phone and pretended to dial.

But I couldn’t suppress my sadness.

“I’m going back to the company.” Sean’s voice came from the sink.

“OK.” I reluctantly smiled and looked at him, “President Jessop, goodbye.”

Sean opened the door and left.
