Irish trembled slightly, took over the wallet, and opened it slowly.
In the next second, her tears were shed, falling on the photos in his wallet. It was Irish's photo of her childhood.
She remembered clearly that this photo was in the album of her Uncle Steven's house. And it was the only one.
Irish covered her mouth in astonishment. 'When he took this photo? Why did he put it into his wallet?' Irish kept wondering.
And gradually, there was a picture in her mind. It was midnight when Joseph finished his work, leaning on the couch to take a break. He took out his wallet, opened it, and stared at the photo for a long time until he fell asleep with the wallet against his chest.
At the thought of this, Irish felt so painful.
Although she was not clear why he took this photo into his wallet, Irish was moved.
He never mentioned it to her, and she always got to know it from others.
This photo was like the last draw that broke her down. Irish was unable to control herself, not cry. She suffered from misery, and she even felt the pain of impending parting. It was at this moment Irish realized that she had finally lost him as well as her courage to love. It was so horrible.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the past, no matter how decisive Irish was, she would tell herself that Joseph wouldn't leave her because he had told her before that he would always stand there waiting for her, even if she was lost. Perhaps it was this sentence that made her fear for nothing. But it was different this time since Joseph was determined to give up their relationship.
The scene that Joseph turned away lingered in her mind. Irish knew he would never return to her, even if she wailed. The endless desperation was like a knife, cutting off her throat and making it impossible for her to breathe.
The words Joseph said to her before started emerging in her mind. He asked her if she was going to leave him and asked her why it was so difficult for them to be with each other. And he even asked her why she was unwilling to get married to him. Once before, Joseph said that Irish was his beloved woman in the media. Irish remembered all these words, especially when Joseph told her that he didn't care who he was going to marry in the future if Irish left him because he thought the marriage was skilful-skamble without true love.
Irish's hand was trembling, clenched the wallet while tears shed down her cheeks, dripping to her lips. It tasted bitter.
Gradually, Daisy's words also occurred to her. Daisy told Irish that if Joseph made such a decision, he would never change his mind, which meant that if Irish was determined to leave him, he would definitely get married to Rosy. "He always keeps his private phone in his pocket wherever he goes. If you decide to marry him, you may feel worried, but you will suffer from endless pain if you decide to leave him. There is a possibility to get rid of your worries, but there is no way to get rid of the pain," Daisy mentioned to her last night.
Irish was frozen and kept recalling the sentence. Finally, she started to gasp, and her face went pale.
In fact, she never thought Joseph would leave her someday, and that was why she felt so painful at the right moment. The scene where Rosy leaned in Joseph's arms hurt her. It was so horrible to recall the scene. Irish was sure that she would go crazy on the day when Joseph got married to another woman. Thinking about this, Irish stood up, staggered to take out her phone, and then dialed Joseph's number. However, the phone on the desk rings.
It was not until then Irish realized that she had dialed his private phone. When she was going to hang up, she happened to look at his phone screen. Joseph saved her name as "honey." Irish also saw that before, but she didn't care too much about that at that time since she felt it was just an appellation. However, after going through all these hardships, Joseph would never call her that name again. Irish bit her lips and dialed the other number of him. But he hung up each time which frightened Irish. She had no other choice but to dial again and again.
However, she failed again.
"Joseph..." Irish mumbled.
A few seconds later, Irish made a call to Daisy.
Daisy quickly put it through. "Have you packed it yet? You..."
"What about him? Where is he?" Irish interrupted Daisy's words and asked in tears.
Daisy was stunned. It took a long time for her to react, "What?"
"Joseph, where is he? Where is he now?" Irish was in a hurry.
Daisy was frightened by her voice. "He should still be in the conference room on the 17th floor."
Before Daisy finished, Irish cut off the phone.
****
In the Hotel, on the 17th floor, in the conference room.
Joseph had been working all night plus an early morning meeting, except for a short nap in the room at two o'clock in the morning, and all the rest of the time was spent in the conference room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLast night the topic was focused on the technical breach.
No one would have thought that in this small Light Town, in the hotel conference room near the ancient town, there were the top designers in the world, in addition to the master of embroidery.
Before two o'clock in the morning, the technical discussion ended. After sending away the designer and embroidery master, he slept for about two hours and then went to the conference room for a video conference.
Working with Joseph for a long time, everyone was used to it. The important members of the technical department and the marketing department were all gathered in the video conference, each dressed neatly, but Joseph was tired to see it, and his eyes were covered with redness. His tie was untied, and his shirt buttons were loosened, exposing his skin.
In summer, the sun appeared early. Rainwater had gone, and there was a faint light outside the window skimming in.
The video showed the signing ceremony of Leo's famous luxury brand and the rare main diamond shining in the limelight.
Joseph didn't watch the video, got up, and covered the shutters.
The faint light was so completely blocked his heart was sad at this moment and more fretful.
The video was over, and the staff in the meeting were silent.
Joseph paced back and forth before his computer but did not sit down. His hand was on the back of the chair, and then he asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
They were not afraid to answer Joseph's question but felt that their boss seemed a little impatient early in the morning, pacing back and forth.
In fact, they wanted to remind their boss that they were now in a videoconferencing; his pace around like this really made them dizzy.
