As soon as someone passed by, she would freeze her body and highly concentrate. She couldn\'t completely relax until the person went far away.This morning, she was as tired as when she was off duty.Near noon, Sally saved the half done report and closed it. When she was about to go downstairs for lunch, she heard footsteps again.And this time, he stopped in front of her door.Sally held her breath subconsciously.She carefully recognized that there seemed to be other sounds in the deafening heartbeat——Bang, bang, bang.The man knocked on the door three times.Sally swallowed hard and squeezed out two words from her throat, \"who is it?\"\"I...\" It was a young man\'s voice, which sounded a little familiar.Sally was searching in her memory when he said, \"Max.\"Max?\"Are you alone?\" She asked warily.Her question confused Max. \"I\'m alone. Who else do you want to come with me?\"The alarm went off and Sally hurried to open the door.\"Why are you here?\" She aske
He even called her several times in the afternoon of No. 23 to remind her not to forget the time.**On October 23rd.Sally put on the dress again. It took her half a year to buy it.The wine stains on her chest were finally light after she washed them in various ways.There were few people in the banquet hall of the imperial court hotel. Besides, it was not a holiday. There were only two floors in the hall.Sally inquired in the lobby of the first floor and found the destination easily.Outside the banquet hall, there were balloons of various colors and shapes on the wall. The most conspicuous place was \"HappyBirthday\" written in English.——It was not a big deal.The door of the banquet hall was open and people were walking inside. Sally could hear them exclaim every time she entered.Driven by curiosity, she quickened her pace.However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by a waiter with a register in his arms.\"May I know your name?\"Max didn\'t send t
It was Amelie!How could she forget!October 23rd was Amelie\'s birthday!Sally gripped her handbag so hard that her whole hand was shaking.Before leaving the Stone family, every year, she would hide in her room alone and cover her head with a quilt, not looking at the father and son outside, not listening to their laughter.Because those scenes always reminded her that she was unwelcome, redundant and damn in this house.After a long time of memory recovery, boundless negative emotions surged up and tightly wrapped her, making her almost out of breath.The heating in the banquet hall was on very well. Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, but she was so cold that she was shivering.\"Ahem.\" Max took the microphone from the waiter and cleared his throat.The audience fell silent immediately.The change in the atmosphere brought Sally back to her senses. She pushed the chair back and stood up with her back bent. She wanted to sneak away when Amelie found out.
But obviously, Amelie liked Max so much that she could kiss him in public regardless of her strict family education.Sally was a little envious.She envied that the person she liked could be recognized by her family.She suddenly felt a little sad.Sure enough, she was different from Amelie.Since they were born, they were destined to take two different paths.The climax lasted for a long time.Max blushed and said to Amelie, \"make a wish.\"\"Okay.\" Amelie put her palms together, closed her eyes and made a pious wish. Max looked at her without blinking, as if there was only her in his eyes.Half a minute later, Amelie opened her eyes and blew out the candles on the cake.The hall became bright again.Sally closed her eyes to get used to the dazzling light.Sage raised her hand to cover the light for her.Through his fingers, Sally saw the two people on the stage holding the cake knife together and cutting the beautiful cake to the bottom.Max smiled happily.However,
They were five years older than each other. They had never been to the same school. They didn\'t live on the same floor and even didn\'t eat together.It could be said that they didn\'t care about each other and didn\'t interfere with each other.However——Usually, when Lola punished Sally, she always mentioned \"learn from your sister\", so that Sally didn\'t like Amelie since childhood. When she was in grade two, she even had a grudge against her.She often thought that if it weren\'t for Amelie, her parents would have loved her.As she grew older and mentally mature, she gradually realized that even without Amelie, Lola and Aiden would not treat her as their own daughter.Because she was an illegitimate daughter with an unknown biological father, which was the proof of the dark history of Lola.She didn\'t hate Amelie anymore. But she couldn\'t feel any joy when they met again after a long separation.——After all, there was still a thorn in her heart.Since her identity was
\"I knew Max when we were studying abroad. He was my senior, and we studied in the same university with different major. We all had our own circle of students. At that time, only he and I were the students in our school, and there was another senior who was one level higher than him. She had a boyfriend and didn\'t play with us much, so I was close to Max and he took good care of me. But at that time, we just had a crush on each other, It hadn\'t been exposed yet. It was not until I came back from abroad after graduation that I met him at a party that I knew that his parents were also good friends. Both of our parents wanted to make a match between us. We had the same idea, so after Max confessed, I agreed to be with him.\"It was actually a sweet love story, but Amelie\'s tone didn\'t change much when she told it. Even her expression didn\'t change much. Her smile was more like a formulaic one.Sally thought of the scene when she and Max were cutting cakes——Did she see it right?
Sally felt like she was struck by lightning.He actually heard what she said to Amelie!It was so shameful!Her face was as red as a tomato, and even her neck was covered with a little pink.\"I... I just didn\'t know what to say when she asked, so I made up a story casually.\" She explained in a low voice.At this moment, she really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it to escape from this embarrassing situation.Sage\'s lips curled into a bigger smile.He turned his face and said softly, \"yes.\" to show that he believed what she said.In order not to embarrass her, he changed the topic stiffly, \"but what a coincidence! Max\'s girlfriend is your sister.\"\"Yeah, what a coincidence!\" Sally echoed.As long as he didn\'t mention \"love at first sight\", she would applaud and applaud whatever he said.\"I heard from Max that your sister is from Beijing. What about you? Are you also from Beijing?\" Sage pretended to ask casually.His question brought back Sally\'s unp
Since the general manager had opened his mouth, Sally had no choice but to agree, \"okay.\"Amelie took out her phone and said, \"Manager Sally, let\'s add your WeChat account.\"\"Okay.\" Sally glanced at her code.**As soon as Sally left, she received a WeChat message from Amelie.She asked, \"sister, are you angry?\" Followed by a pitiful expression.Sally glanced at her and ignored her.Amelie didn\'t stop. Instead, she bombarded her with messages\"I\'m sorry, sister. I just want to spend more time with you. I don\'t mean to force you!\"\"If you are not happy, I will tell Mr Cox now that I don\'t need you to take me to Hamelin!\"\"Sorry, sorry, sorry!\"\"Sister, please forgive me!\"The constant vibration of her phone made Sally more and more irritable.She opened the WeChat and replied, \"I\'m not angry.\"Amelie replied in a second, \"really?\"\"You are the best!\"\"I like my sister the most!\"There were also many cute facial masks.Without taking a look
