Netizens felt Lilah was being tossed aside in order to make the marriage possible.
After seeing all these online, Lilah pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Miss Phillips, I know it's frustrating and annoying, but don't take it to heart. If you want to marry a man, you must find one that suits you. Any one that gives up on you, give up on him too," one of the young women said to Lilah. She was worried that Lilah might not be able to get over the heartbreak.
Lilah really appreciated her gesture. She said to assure her, “Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
"That's good, Miss Phillips. You are always the best," the young woman said smilingly.
Lilah couldn't help but chuckle. She felt the girls were adorable.
Meanwhile, the other young woman was a bit surprised to see that Lilah was smiling instead of showing signs of a broken heart. “Umm...
Miss Phillips, does this mean you don't Like Mr. Harris that much?" she asked curiously.
Lilah thought for a moment and said, "Well... I guess so."
"Miss Phillips, you are indeed very rational and level-headed. You're my role model now. There's nothing more important than when a woman cherishes herself. Men are just accessories to us."
"Ha-ha... You are funny." Lilah Laughed.
After talking with the young women for a while, Lilah finally left the pantry.
When she got back to her office, she was shocked by what she saw.
Gerard was sitting there, patiently waiting for her! She wondered when he came in.
"When did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Lilah asked as she went over to sit down next to him.
Gerard had on a black suit and he looked aloof and elegant. His handsome face was expressionless as he replied, "I just arrived."
From his behavior, Lilah sensed that there was something wrong, but then, Gerard was always aloof.
"Did you decide to just drop by? By the way, what would you Like to drink?" she asked him.
“Nothing. Thanks," Gerard said, his eyes momentarily sweeping over her face.
It was pretty clear by now that something was not alright. She asked, “iihat's wrong with you, Gerard? Is something bothering you?"
Gerard kept quiet for a few seconds. Then he asked, "Don't you want to tell me something?"
"No," Lilah replied.
Instantly, Gerard's face became even colder.
Lilah could feel the temperature of the room drop significantly.
