Chapter 117
Colin just said, “Mr. Mercer, Mr. Johnson asked me to tell you that all of them have been transferred abroad.”⠀
Caleb took a deep drag on his cigarette, and the cigarette was burnt up in an instant. He stood up and exhaled a big smoke ring that enveloped his whole face, making it partly hidden and partly visible.
His eyes were filled with endless regret, but Evelyn couldn’t see it
The door was pushed open. Caleb looked at the door with confusion and expectation and saw Ava. She wore a sexy dress. “Caleb, are you unhappy to see me?”
He was in a trance before he remembered that he had such a pretty girlfriend. “Why are you here?” He frowned and asked in confusion and disappointment.
The smile on her face froze. How many times had it been? She had gone to shoot several advertisements these days. But when she came back, she felt that Caleb seemed to be more indifferent to her.
With a trace of displeasure, Ava stood in front of him, feeling wronged. I just read on the news that something happened to you, so I come back as soon as possible. Why are you so hard on me suddenly?”
Caleb threw the butt, walked over, and hugged her gently. But he quickly retreated. He smiled uncomfortably. “It’s not a big deal. I’m sorry, Avy. My tone was a little bad just now.”
Receiving his apology, Ava stopped the topic. She walked up, held his arm, and smiled at him. “It’s very late, and you haven’t had dinner yet, right? Let’s go for it.”
The door was pushed open at this moment. Colin wanted to enter but saw them hugging each other. He raised his eyebrows and was about to close the door, but was stopped by Caleb. “Buy some food in the opposite restaurant and reimburse the expenses by yourself,”
Subconsciously, Colin took a look at Ava and found that her beautiful face darkened. He suddenly felt sorry for her.
After hesitating for a while, Ava slowly let go of Caleb’s arm. “Caleb, why haven’t you called me recently? He also didn’t answer the phone or reply to any messages.
His actions made her feel like she was still abroad. At that time, she left without saying a word but Caleb made no response.
Caleb looked away and kept silent for a long time. He finally made up his mind and said, “Avy, I can take care of you for a lifetime but I don’t like you. I only treat you as a sister. I’m sorry
Ava’s face was pale. She looked at Caleb, holding back her tears. Caleb… L… We…”
She thought a lot. Since he refused to get engaged again and again, she had probably felt his refusal. But she was stubborn. and didn’t believe she was worse than Evelyn.
Caleb waited for her to continue, but her expression made his heart sink.
