Chapter 25 Goodbye to the Ex

The word "hello" had not yet been uttered. Jane gets shocked by the sight of another person that she could not speak for a while. There is not only Stark Leonard in that office, but also another tall man in a black suit. The man was standing in front of the broad landing window, standing with his hands on his shoulders, and his soft eyes lightly fell on the Jane body. They looked at each other in silence, and neither of them looked away. Jane thought after 3 years there would be no more feeling in her heart when she saw this person again, but the fact is not. Looking at this man’s face with whom she was once too familiar, all the bad memories poured into her heart like a tide, brutally tore up the scar she had just healed. She feels as if blood slowly flows out of her heart. Jane wanted to turn around and leave, but the heavy pain of the past grieved her so hard that she could not move at all she can do is just stared at the man in front of her. After a while, the man stepped up to her, smiled and said, "President Leonard, this must be Miss Jane whom you were praising." His voice, especially the words "Miss Jane", gave Jane a small jerk to get out of her thoughts. "Christopher Ned, yes." Stark Leonard nodded and said, "Miss Jane, this is our GU’s, Christopher Ned. He wants to know about this project." Jane shook his fist, took a breath and tried to keep her professional smile: "Hello, Mr. Christopher Ned!" Although she tried her best to keep a professional smile but her voice trembled. Stark Leonard added, "I heard from Manager Deana Brad that Miss Jane attentively prepared this plan. So please show it to us." "President Leonard you always praise me." Jane breathes in again turns on the laptop tried to ignore the existence of another man and seriously expressed her plan on the project. During the presentation, she felt an eye continuously staring at her, but she chooses to ignore it completely. During the presentation, the secretary came in and called Stark Leonard out. Jane didn’t notice it for a moment. When she found out, only she and Christopher Ned were left alone in the office. The smile on her face disappeared instantly. She got up and wanted to leave without saying anything to him. The man’s actions were much faster than her. As soon as she reaches out, he pulls her and holds her in his arms, shout out two words that were full of affection from the bottom of his heart: "Jenny Jenny..." Jane struggled to get out of his arms, his hands hung on her side. She closed her eyes and opened them again. Her eyes were showing her cold behavior: "Sir, please behave yourself." After saying this, she turned around to go. He again reached out and grabbed her wrist: "it’s been three years. You still blame me?" Jane wanted to shake off his hand, but he was so strong that she felt pain in her wrist that she couldn’t shake it off. Jane took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Mr. Christopher Ned please let me go, otherwise, don’t blame me for my behavior." But he ignored and said affectionately, "Please sit down, we need to talk." "Let me go." Jane bites her lip. She didn’t want to blink too much and forced back the tears that were eagerly ready to flow out of her eyes. Three years ago, she did not shed a tear. Now three years later, she cannot cry for those who don’t deserve her. The man pulled her into his arms again, hugged her and called her name with a loud voice: "Jenny, Jenny, Jenny..." Jane struggled with all her strength, but there is a huge difference between men and women’s strength, even if she exerts all her strength still cannot push away this man. Jane strives for so long but could not get rid of him, knowing that it was useless to do so, but she didn’t give up. After a moment he pushed her out of his arms and put his hands on her shoulder. "Of course, I know you have suffered a lot alone in the past three years. Now I’m here. You come back with me. Your parents and your sister are worried about you. " After hearing these words, she suddenly calmed down and said, "Who are you? How dare you say that to me? " Come back? Can she still go back? Three years ago, when they abandoned her, they should know that they can never have me back, things cannot be the same as they were before. "Jenny..." "Don’t call me that! Calling me like that will only make me sick." Jane interrupted him, presses down the pain inside and tried to calm down "Now that I’m doing well, please don’t disturb my life." "You are doing well?" The man reached out and squeezed her chin to force her to raise her head looked at him and said slowly, "Well, if I hadn’t given you Star Enterprise’s project you really thought that your Small Innovative Technology could stand in among dozens of companies?" Jane bit her lip and looked at him coldly: "You..." His words were like a steel knife, which pierces her heart and cuts off her pride. Over the past three years, she has worked hard and lived with pride. No matter what she did, she created it by her own efforts. However, this is what she gets was due to her hard work. Not only her efforts are not paid off, but that she had been pinched and played like a clown for three years. Jane closes her eyes, takes a deep breath and then slowly raised a smile: "On behalf of my company, I thank you for this favor." "Well, I did it all only for you." The man raised his hand to touch her face, but she slapped him before he touched her. "Don’t touch me. I’m dirty!" Jane gritted her teeth. After saying these harsh words, she turned to the door and pushed the handle. However, the door had been locked from outside, and she could not get out. She turned back and glared at him. "What do you want to do?" "Of course, I won’t hurt you." The man approached her again and said affectionately, "I just want to hold you and feel your existence around me." Jane moved to the left side of the room, tried to maintain a distance between them. He was also not in a hurry, as if he had decided something, slowly approached near her: "Jane..." Suddenly, the hot temper was ignited she grabbed the ashtray and said: "I am saying, stay away."
