I tried to retort but failed to.
"Yes.” | let out a self-deprecating smile. " You're right and there's no denying that. I'm really sorry that | have hurt
you and others in many ways."
Shannon pursed her lips. "You're too selfcentered and selfish as hell. There's no one in this world who hasn't
been hurt. No one can do things according to the way they want to. You don't allow others to hurt you but allow

behavior in such a short while.

face, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
| helplessly smiled. "I'm feeling a little irritable probably because my period is coming."
Cally furrowed her brows. "It'd be awful to have your period on Valentine's Day."

"It's a slip of the tongue!" | quickly salvaged the situation. "Lally, you're the youngest and most beautiful woman
in the secretary's office!"
Lally snorted. "That's more like it."
| thought about what Shannon said about having dinner with Lally at noon and was just about to ask her but
decided to swallow the words back in.
| was unsure if Shannon was in a better mood, or if she was still willing to be my friend.
"Cally." I looked at Cally and hesitated to ask, "Do you have a close friend? Or someone you love very much?"
She nodded. "Of course. Apart from my kid and my parents, | have a best friend whom I've known for over ten

She was a little stunned, then said faintly," We're divorced."
“I'm sorry, I-"
"That's very normal. People will encounter stwists and turns in life when they reach their middle age."
Cally sat back on the chair and lamented, “ Life doesn't need to be exciting. Just choose how you want to live
your life."
Her countenance was indifferent, and her tone was breezy.
