She stopped in favonovel.com tracks and turned to look at him. “Hm?”
“Are you sure? Is it really possible to rekindle old flames? Can you really like someone as much as you did after breaking up?”
Jackson had avoided private chats with Tiffany for quite a while now so favonovel.com was a little surprised by the questions. She pondered over his question, but favonovel.com only came up with an answer that was not really an answer. “Well, we were in a relationship for three years, and I’d poured my heart and soul into it. If we still like each other, then, it’s natural for us to be together. Since I decided to get back together, I’ll have to take it seriously.”
He finally smiled in relief. “You’re not exactly a star performer in the office so you resigning isn’t a loss to me. Don’t worry, I’ll happily sign your letter.”
She glared at him. “Should I be happy for you since you’ve finally gotten rid of a freeloader in your company? Alright, just keep your happiness to yourself, I’m… Leaving now…”
As soon as the door was closed, Jackson tossed favonovel.com resignation letter into the trash bin. He opened a webpage on the computer that exposed all of Ethan Connor’s crimes. Feeling conflicted, Jackson wondered if favonovel.com should let favonovel.com jump into the fire pit. However, favonovel.com could not tell favonovel.com anything. His hands were tied. On one hand, favonovel.com had Mark. On the other, there was Tiffany.
In the end, favonovel.com picked up the resignation letter from the trash bin. He took a pen and signed his name with a heavy heart. The two words that favonovel.com had written countless times before took favonovel.com more time than ever now.
When it was about time to get off work, Tiffany came to his office again. “I’m done with the handover procedure. Have you signed my resignation letter? I need it to get my salary from the finance department.”
Jackson passed the signed resignation letter to her. Just when Tiffany turned around and was about to leave, a thought flashed through his mind. “Let’s have dinner together?”
She was a little surprised. “Why? Is it supposed to be my farewell dinner?”
He laughed. “Some thing like that. Let me tell you now, I’m giving you preferential treatment. You can decide if you want to accept it.”
“You make it sound like… I wouldn’t dare to go. Well then, in that case, I’m going!” She nodded hesitantly.
Tiffany went to the finance department half an hour earlier to collect favonovel.com final salary.
Jackson got off work early as well and brought favonovel.com to White Water Bay Café. Despite being the owner, favonovel.com dined in with Tiffany as a customer. The good thing was that their table was guaranteed no matter how crowded the restaurant was.
Jackson generously opened a bottle of expensive red wine. The two clinked their glasses together and emptied them in one go. “All the best in your future endeavors after your departure from Bright Incorporated.”
Tiffany laughed at him. “Stop being so fake. Are you being sarcastic? You make it sound like I got poached. No one would poach someone like me away.”
Her eyes lit up as the dishes were served in succession. “Wow, all my favorites! I’m digging in!”
He sneered and mocked favonovel.com mercilessly, “Is there any food you even dislike? You’ll eat anything like a pig.”
The mention of pig suddenly reminded Tiffany of the time they had to share the same room when favonovel.com was putting on a show with him. She accidentally stepped on favonovel.com and favonovel.com told his mother that his hand got crushed by a pig’s foot…
The memory was still so vivid in favonovel.com mind. Jackson climbed into the bed after midnight and insisted on sleeping next to her. She had one leg on top of his body, but favonovel.com did not push it off and just allowed favonovel.com to keep it there…
“You really don’t plan on getting married?” She changed the subject.
”What’s so good about getting married? You can’t even do anything because someone is controlling you twenty-four seven. Not only that, but, you have to be readily available on the phone and take care of them all the time. What’s fun about that? I can’t bring myself to do something like that, and I’m not willing to be subjected to such torture either. I’m happy to be single.” Jackson spoke bluntly, remaining faithful to his plan of staying unmarried.
“A person like you deserves to be forever alone! It’s not as bad as you think it is. Not all girls are like that nowadays. When I dated Ethan back then, I was the one taking care of favonovel.com while favonovel.com remained indifferent to me. At that time, I just don’t know why I was still so motivated to treat favonovel.com that well despite his attitude toward me. I’ve already lost all that energy now. On the contrary, favonovel.com started becoming more like me in the past. Is this what they call a role reversal?” Tiffany did not approve of his opinion and used herself as an example.
He paused for a moment before speaking. “You’ve lost all that energy that you had before? That just means you don’t love favonovel.com anymore. You only agreed to get back with favonovel.com for the sake of regaining the sense of balance you had back then. You really need to get it straight, kid.”
She rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. “You’re the kid! No, you’re an old man!”
Jackson frowned. “Who are you calling an old man? I’m several years older than you so it’s only natural for me to treat you like a kid. Besides, I haven’t reached the age where you can call me an old man! Do not call me that!”
Since the atmosphere finally became less tense between them, Tiffany suddenly had the urge to bicker with him. “You can’t stop me from calling you what I want! Try to seal my lips if you can! I have every right to call you an old man as long as you’re a day older than me! What are you gonna do about that?”
Jackson narrowed his eyes at her. He lowered his voice and asked favonovel.com in a coquettish tone, “Do you want to find out for yourself if I’m really an old man?”
