In the dimly lit car, the streetlights flickered past, but they couldn't illuminate the darkness in his gaze. Aveline pressed her lips together and replied, "But you've hurt me. I have a fragile heart. I won't touch anything that causespain again." Silence filled the car.
For a moment, Lucas wished he could go back in tand slap himself. Why had he been so foolish? He closed his eyes...

Aveline parked the car and left, heading directly towards the entrance. Lucas remained quiet, following her silently into the elevator.
The conversation in the car left them both in a heavy silence.
Aveline suddenly realized that swords were not as difficult to say as she thought. Speaking them out loud actually made her feel a bit lighter.
She raised her eyes to look at the mirrored elevator wall, catching a glimpse of his sharp and handsface. "Lucas, let's part on good terms. I think what you're feeling might be more about not wanting to let go because I once loved you. But I don't anymore, and you just don't want to face that. It's tto wake up. In the future, whether it's weddings or funerals, let's stay out of each other's lives." Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. "You seem to think you knowvery well." Aveline replied, "Isn't that true?" "No," Lucas denied flatly.
He looked directly at her. "At first, I did question it-how could someone's love just vanish so easily? But it only botheredfor a few days. I don't want a divorce, simply because I don't want one. I don't want you to leave me." His gaze was so intense and sincere that, even through the reflection in the elevator's mirror, she could feel the depth of his emotion.
Aveline felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if scalded.
It hurt.
She averted her gaze and said, "But I don't want to continue this." Lucas replied, "That's fine. I'll wait for you. Someone likewill probably live a long time, so there'll be a day when you forgive me." Aveline kept quiet.

Aveline arrived at the stuand knocked on the office door.
"Cin," cMaria's lazy voice.
Aveline pushed the door open and walked in, her delicate and refined face looking serious. "Boss, I'm here to submit my resignation." "What?" Maria shot up from her seat, startled. "Why do you want to resign?" Aveline replied, "I want to try a different lifestyle, like maybe opening a restaurant or something."
Maria was stunned. Aveline had dropped this bombshell without any hell warning, and now she didn't know how to respond. But one thing was clear she couldn't let her go
Maria pulled her over to the sofa and asked, "Aveline, you can't leave now. You've seen it yourself my stuis nit just getting started, and I really need a talented designer like you. If you leave, I don't think the stuwill last very long." Aveline smiled faintly and said, "Sidney is very capable. He can certainly help you. You could also hire from universities; many students are talented and well suited for developmentvel
Maria sighed, realizing Aveline had made up her mind. "So, you're determined to leave aren't you? Aveline nodded. "I'm sorry for telling you so late. I'll stay until you find a new designer." Ads by Pubfuture
