Miss Pender didn't have a guest room, so I had to choose between a sofa and an air bed.I chose the sofa.

Because where is the air mattress, that's the question.I was afraid I would fall asleep and move from one bed to another.

The day before yesterday I hardly slept all night, and yesterday I talked about the early morning. I thought I would sleep to death: but when I opened my eyes, the fatigue had subsided, but the surroundings were still dark, and there was no slight morning light.

It's not even 05:30 yet.

Afraid of waking her up, I didn't turn on the light, poured myself a glass of water and sat down by the window in the living room.The night view of the city seen from the high-rise building is really bright, the street lights are stretching all day long and pointing to the distance, and occasionally there are taxis passing by quickly, washing away the abstract and tall shadows of Nanyang trees in the night.

Adult happiness is so fleeting.

There are already four emails lying in the mailbox that urgently need to be answered.Of course, it’s okay to postpone until Monday, but Monday morning is a meeting with BCG, and it may take a long time to evade and argue about the R&D department. It’s hard for me to have the energy to reply to important emails.

Recently, the R&D director has criticized me quite a bit.Sangjie was obviously dragged into the water by me, but he was right about things and wrong about people. Usually we have no business contact, but he actually comforted me in turn, making me dumbfounded.Kevin has never been a guy who retreats quickly. These days, he will definitely ride on the head of our department when he finds an opportunity. I secretly feel worried: But if you want to hit him, you have to take the knife from Miss Pender. Is there really no other way? ?

I rubbed my head and watched the sky slowly brighten up.Sunday morning has arrived.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him.Miss Pender was wearing a waffle crewneck jumper, with clean and slender legs.

"Woke up so early?" She came over and looked at me, her smile gradually faded, and finally she stopped where she was, without getting closer.

"A little insomnia." I put the phone in my pocket.

She nodded, holding one arm.

We looked at each other for a while.She was sexy at the moment, but I didn't think about it, and I looked at her for a long time, almost falling into her gray-green eyes.What is Miss Pender thinking again?Her emotions were well restrained, almost none, but I felt a burst of heartache for no reason.

The timing is really inappropriate.

I started hating myself ten years ago.

But back then we just had a perfect start.If fate continues it gently, can we really come together?

Greed destroys man.

My voice is very small: "Can I hug you?"

Miss Pender came over and put her arms around my waist.I took a deep breath and kissed the hair around her ear.It feels so good to hug her, I thought, but didn't say a word.She didn't say a word, she just hugged me tighter and tighter, resting her chin on my shoulder, like hugging someone who won't come back.

Breakfast was prepared by Miss Pender, chicken breast fried without oil, half a bowl of nuts and oatmeal, and a glass of skim milk.Unlike last night's high-fat breakfast, this breakfast was as bland as it was brought over from my house.

Although my family only has food that can be cooked in the microwave.

"Shall we meet today?" I broke the silence. "I want to talk to you, but I have a plan at noon. When will your dance practice be over?"

"Let's have dinner together." She cut the chicken breast into many square pieces, but didn't eat a bite.

"Okay. What would you like to eat?"

"pasta."

I thought for a moment: "How about Greek food? I know there is a good restaurant in Dempsey Hill. Tampines is also good, but the dengue fever is serious now, and it's a black area. I think it's better to make an appointment at Dempsey." Xishan is better."

"It's up to you to decide." Miss Pan De looked over, the eyes gave me a dull pain.

I went to Chinatown at noon.Just after the lockdown was lifted, Lu Cuisine was in short supply, and advance reservations were not accepted, so I took the subway early to take up a seat.Liang Heng arrived on time and dressed a bit formally.I'm not saying that he can't dress formally, but a person who usually wears a T-shirt and shorts at work, and wears a shirt when he comes to a Chinese restaurant on weekends, is obviously treated differently.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Brother Liang, here we come." I greeted him.

"Oh, Li Yao, you're so early." He glanced at the sports bracelet, "I'm not late, am I?"

"No, I just came here in a friend's car." I smiled and made him tea.He was obviously taken aback when he heard me say that, but he didn't ask any more questions.

I handed over the menu: "What would you like to eat?"

"It doesn't matter, let's look at you and choose something you like."

"Well, let's ask the waiter what recommended dishes are there?" I pushed the menu in front of him again and greeted the waiter.They were all hot dishes, served slowly. I flattered Chief Liang's professional ability without any trace. He was not humble. Slowly flow up.

In fact, I still need his help in a lot of places, so there is no need to be so cautious and not say a word about personal topics.But there are too many facts that I have to worry about today, and Liang Heng is a colleague of the company, so I don't want to leave any room for people to imagine.

When the dishes were all served, I moved my chopsticks occasionally, looking for a chance to speak.The reason for the treat today is to thank him for helping me find out about Passerby C. Even if I didn't take the initiative to mention it, he would definitely say a few words.Sure enough, within a short while, we chatted about the recent changes in the R&D department. Liang Heng saw that I was listening very carefully, so he did more science popularization on technical issues. process.

"In fact, the company should also check the internal situation. What this king can do, other people can do it. Besides, he may not be a single seedling. He may be ordered by someone." Liang Heng said in a low voice, Because I sat far away, I had to pay more attention to hear every word, "But the rest of the matter is left to the people below, and I didn't ask. I don't know if they have checked it."

I nodded thoughtfully: "Brother Liang's concerns are indeed very reasonable. A manager-level employee has such a major dereliction of duty. We really should think more about it."

"Oh, by the way, his immediate boss is Kevin, right?"

"Hmm..." I deliberately thought for a while, "From the perspective of the reporting line, it should be like this."

"Hey," Liang Heng gave me a look, "Kevin is smart, do you think there is something wrong with him?"

I looked at him, smiled, and didn't speak.

Liang Heng understood clearly, and nodded slowly: "Just wait."

To make Kevin unhappy, it is most appropriate to start with Passerby C.Although passer-by C may not be the BCG connected through Kevin's line, he is his subordinate after all, and he also obtained the data of our department through his position. These two points belong to Kevin anyway. work mistakes.

If it wasn't for the retention of the self-developed system, which became the focus of debate at the time, and the R&D department was pulled down immediately, Kevin might not recover so quickly.This is really a matter of time and fate, Feng Shui takes turns, and those who are lucky are not so easily defeated.

But the rules of settling accounts after autumn are common all over the world.

Chief Liang came forward, and his means and legitimacy are much better than mine.It's one thing to knock a mountain and shake a tiger. Maybe there is something in Kevin that should not be exposed. If there is an accidental discovery, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

However, the company's situation is not optimistic. Even if we win a round here, I will not be happy.

After the meal, Liang Heng insisted on entertaining guests. Fortunately, I cut off the beard early and paid the money while I was touching up my makeup.He felt a little sorry, so I took the conversation and asked him to invite the people from "Nanyang Fishing Technology Exchange" to have a good meal.An Ning often appears in the group, she must be within the scope of the invitation.

"I'll take the subway home, how about you?" Liang Heng said when he walked to the door of the store.

"My friend is coming to pick me up."

"Boyfriend is pretty tight." He teased.I didn't answer, just smiled and let him guess.

Dempsey Hill is not far from Orchard Road, with inconvenient transportation and a strong cultural atmosphere. It is a typical wealthy area that is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.This Greek restaurant is very authentic. The architecture in the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula can be seen at a glance. The lighting and soft decoration are all meticulous. Even the mineral water is imported from Greece in glass bottles, and the price of a bottle is [-] yuan.

After ordering the meal, Miss Pan De came over and whispered, "Wow, the mineral water is charged ten yuan."

I couldn't help laughing: "You think it's expensive too?"

"Isn't it expensive?" She was quite serious, frowning slightly, "The ones in the supermarket only cost [-] cents."

"You're on vacation in Greece." I comforted her with a smile.

After only parting for a day, we met again at dinner time, and I found her even more charming.Because of this, I hesitated to open my mouth, and what I said was nothing important: "By the way, I forgot to take the package you gave me this morning."

"Oh..." She seemed to remember something, "Yes, I saw it when I went out. Can I bring it to you later?"

"Okay, thank you." I looked at her, "That dress must be very beautiful, and you will never forget it in your wardrobe at home. I'm getting more and more curious."

"I have photos here, they sent them to me when they were looking for them." She blinked, "Do you want to see it?"

"I'll choose to save the surprise for last," I declined, "trusting it to complete my new home."

"I hope it can live up to its mission." Miss Pender laughed, her eyes sparkling.

I was about to say something about home decoration, but I lost my words when I saw her smile. I forgot about the new tea table that was not satisfactory and the combination of fragrance just right.My hands were clenched into fists on the table, and finally they were almost trembling. I was afraid that I would reach out and touch her cheek accidentally.

My expression must have stiffened, because Miss Pender's eyes are becoming more and more complicated.Her stare makes me thirsty, but the water here is so expensive that I can't afford it.

People must first have self-knowledge, and then learn to control themselves.

"We should talk." Hiding the fluctuations and tremors under the counter, I spoke as if urged after the cold dish came.
