Elena looked atand said with a smile," Love rivals can't be friends, right?"
She paused and continued, "I'm curious as t o why you left Theo. | can see that he treats you well."
| let out a self-deprecating smile. "Life is challenging for everyone. Besides, it takes fate for two people to come
together, but we're not fated to be together."
Elena fell silent for a very long tbefore saying slowly, "Wanda, | think I'll be happier than you because | won't
leave him no matter what happens. As long as we're together, we'll be fated to be together."
| smiled slightly and said no more.
After sending Elena home, | rushed back to the office.
Not long after 1 entered the office, Cally walked in.
She had a glass of water in her hand. She put it on my desk and asked, "What did you talk about? Did you

"No." | picked up the glass of water and took a sip. The water was a little cold and refreshing to drink.
Cally clicked her tongue and sat down beside me, asking in a particularly stern voice, "Do you and Theo really
have to split?”
I was in no mood to talk about this, so | chose to change the subject. "It'll be Valentine's Day in two days. Let's
go out with Shannon, shall we?”
Cally nodded. "Sure."
She got up to leave, but when she remembered she had something to say to m e, she sat back down on the
chair and looked at me. She said, "I didn’t buy the ointment | gave you today. Mr. Keith gave it to me."
I frowned. "Keith?"
Cally smiled slightly. "Theo wanted him to buy ointment for you and get one for Elena while he was at it. |
bumped into him at the entrance of the pharmacy, so when he learned that | was there to buy you ointment, he
gave it to me."
| chose to remain silent because | did not know what to say.
| knew that this had a lot to do with the obstacle in my heart. | would only be put in a dilemma. | could not
exactly describe what this feeling was like.
Lally sighed softly seeing that | did not say a word. "I believe you and Theo love and care about each other,
Wanda. If that's the case, why don’t you stop torturing yourself?”
She continued after a pause, "Theo's countenance was as dark as coal when you and Jordan acted so intimately
at lunch. H e really loves you.”
| was a little dazed after hearing what she said. My head and my heart were in turmoil.
When Lally noticed how dispirited | was and recalled the bunch of work that was waiting for her, she did not say
anything more toand left to get her job done.
The project was set to begin soon, so | had t o go to the site for a period of time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen it was almost tto get off work, | gave the office a big clean-up.
Shannon gavea call to invitefor dinner.
Seeing Jordan standing at the office door, | figured he was looking forand said into the phone, "Givea
minute."
Then, I looked at Jordan and asked, "Are you getting off work now, Mr. Fredericks?"
He nodded. "What are you having for dinner?"
If he had not mentioned it, then | would have forgotten that | had to take care of his meals.
Shannon just happened to be askingout for dinner, so should | bring him along?
Shannon would be over the moon if | brought him with me.
| smiled slightly and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything," Jordan said blandly.

I nodded. "Go downstairs and wait for me, then. I'll pack my things and meet you downstairs."
