When I returned to the office, my heart felt as heavy as a piece of lead. I knew that I had really broken Annie's heart this time.

Although I expressed my true thoughts, I knew that she might not be able to understand my thoughts.

On the contrary, it will make her feel that she is not a confidant friend in my heart, which makes her sadder than refusing her help itself.

I think this matter can only be explained to Anne after she calms down in a few days, but I don't know if she can understand what I mean. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing? You should be happy that someone is willing to pay off your debt!"

I don't know when Mu Xichun appeared in front of me, but I didn't notice it.

Her words obviously had a teasing tone, but I really wasn't in the mood to argue with her at the moment, so I simply turned my head to the side and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Since you have such a wealthy friend, can you pay back the money you owe me today?"

Mu Xichun obviously had no intention of stopping there.

"You're so eager to ask for money, then why didn't you just take it? Why do you still want me to go?"

As I said this, I thought it would be okay if this was really the case, at least Annie wouldn't be so sad now.

"Ha! You are the one who owes money. Why should I accept other people's money? Even if I want it, I want it from you!"

"In that case, I will pay you back slowly. Haven't you already deducted almost all of my salary every month? One person does the work for the other, and I will pay you back the money I owe you. Don't worry!"

"Oh? So you didn't take any money from your beautiful friend?"

"..."

"Ha! I said you are so miserable here every day, why don't you take the money your friend sent you to pay off the debt and leave, why are you still suffering here? Oh, I understand, you must think that letting a woman do this

It's against your male dignity for you to use money to pay off your debts! I didn't expect you to have a lot of backbone!"

"Stinky girl, let me tell you, don't think you can take advantage of me just because I owe you a few dollars. I tell you, I will keep doing this until the day I pay you back. I will be clean.

Walk."

"There are still many days before this. If you think that I can be at your mercy based on this matter, I tell you that you are wrong. If you don't let me have my way, then everyone will be disgusted! I am not afraid of you!"

I finally couldn't bear it anymore, and I swore that if there was a man standing in front of me, I would greet him with my fists.

"Hey! I'm still angry! But please don't forget your identity. You are my assistant and secretary, and you still have to do your job well."

He threw down a document and said: "Compile these documents, print a few copies and send them to various departments for the meeting in the afternoon." After that, he turned around and left.

Seeing her arrogant back turning away gracefully, I almost tore the documents on the table to pieces, but I finally held back. I was so angry that I sat on the chair and gasped.

After get off work in the evening, I was thinking about whether to call Annie or go directly to explain to her in person.

But just as I took out my cell phone, it rang first. When I saw it was the bartender, Ah Xiong, he told me that a company had reserved the bar for a company party tonight and asked me to hurry over and prepare.

I sighed and had no choice but to apologize to Annie later.

When we arrived at the bar, it was already overcrowded. The bar that could only accommodate a few dozen people now had at least a hundred people, and the whole bar suddenly seemed overcrowded.

Sure enough, as Ah Xiong said, several waiters were already very busy. Seeing me coming, Ah Xiong quickly pulled me to a quieter corner and said, "Brother Wei, you're finally here!"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and continued: "We don't have any of the drinks that the customers requested in our store. I called the supplier, but they said it would take two hours to deliver them. I didn't even think about it."

It’s written down, take a look!”

When I took it, I felt dizzy. It turned out that the customers ordered some relatively expensive foreign red wines. These wines are rarely in demand in the bar, so the stocks are insufficient.

He hurriedly said: "You continue to entertain the guests, I will buy these right away!" After that, he quickly left the bar and rushed to the mall.

By the time I came back, the party at the bar had already started. It was obvious that this was a relatively young company. Everyone seemed to be very relaxed and talked and laughed loudly with each other without any scruples. It was completely like a party with our company’s employees.

Two images.

After the resident band in our bar arrived, the climax continued. Young men and women took turns performing on stage, which often attracted applause from the whole house.

This kind of atmosphere also made me feel a little infected. This is the culture of a company. With such a group of energetic young people together, this company may not be able to thrive even if it doesn't want to. I thought that Mu Xichun should also come and see this kind of atmosphere.

.

The party didn't end until midnight. After a young man who looked like a leader simply said a few closing words, the guests began to disperse.

When the company leader was about to leave after paying the bill, I looked back at the bar and accidentally discovered a woman lying on a table in a corner. It looked like she had drunk too much.

I hurriedly stopped the leader who was about to leave and said, "Hey, boss, please wait a moment!" The man turned back and looked at me doubtfully. I pointed to him the corner. The man smiled helplessly at me and walked over.

He walked over, looked at the woman's face, looked up and said to me: "I don't know her, she is not from our company!" After that, he turned around and left the bar.

I called Nobita and asked him when this woman came in. Nobita shook his head and said he didn't know. I called all the waiters, but everyone said they didn't pay attention to when this woman came.

I waved my hand and told them to continue cleaning. Looking at this unconscious woman who had already drunk, I couldn't help but frown. In fact, there are often such customers in bars.

However, most of the people who come to the bar to spend money are not alone. There are always some sober people, and the number of people who come alone to get drunk like this is really a minority.

I pushed her shoulders and called her several times in her ear, but the woman didn't respond at all. I increased the force and volume, but it was still in vain.

It seemed that even if I threw her into the moat, she wouldn't wake up. I saw a handbag on the sofa next to her, and I thought that I could only use the last resort.

I opened my handbag and took out her mobile phone. At this moment, I could only call her relatives and friends and ask them to pick her up.

When I opened my phone and saw that her phone had a lock screen password, I suddenly felt a sense of despair. How unlucky it must be to encounter such a coincidental tragedy.

By this time, the waiters had finished cleaning, and I signaled them to get off work first. They were all very tired tonight. Ah Xiong pursed his lips and asked me, "What should I do with this one?"

"What else can I do if I can't wake her up and can't contact her relatives and friends? You go back to rest first and let her sleep here for a while. I'll watch from here." I said helplessly.

Ah Xiong squints with ill intentions

He glanced at me and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, then don't do anything illegal!"

I slapped him and pretended to be angry and said, "Get out!" Ah Xiong walked away with a smile.

The bar that was bustling with people just now suddenly became smelly as the crowd dispersed, which made people feel like they were leaving for tea.

I lit a cigarette and lay down on a sofa next to me. My legs were already a little stiff after a busy night.

I thought of Anne again. I was originally going to apologize to her, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I don't know if Anne is still angry now.

I took out my phone and looked at the time. It was almost two o'clock in the morning. Annie had probably rested by now, so I gave up the idea of ​​calling her.

I was lying on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and somehow I remembered the past between Annie and I. Annie and I have known each other since high school, and we have known each other for eight years.

Although our backgrounds are very different, I am a child from a rural area, and the only things that accompanied me growing up were poverty and the hardships caused by poverty.

But Anne is a child of an aristocratic family. Her mother is a medical school professor and her father is a senior government official. Needless to say, her living conditions are excellent.

But this did not affect our ability to become friends. From the moment I first met her, I knew that Anne was never a worldly person.

She is quiet, kind-hearted, and has no worries about the world. She can have a happy conversation with anyone. She does not have the playboy character or the temper of a young lady at all.

In my memory, everyone seems to like her, which makes her stand out at an age when she loves to show off her superiority.

This may also be the reason why I was able to become her friend. You must know that at that time, I was still a melancholy young man who closed himself off because of low self-esteem.

Our friendship lasted from high school to college. When I went to college, my mother's health was deteriorating. Considering that I could better take care of my mother, I went to a provincial university closer to home.

Unexpectedly, I met Annie again on the university campus. This made me overjoyed. You must know that Annie's grades have always been among the best in her age. It is definitely not difficult to go to a better university, not to mention the resources in her parents' hands.

.

This undoubtedly made our friendship deeper. It was only much later that I realized that Anne chose this school entirely because of me.

My mother unfortunately passed away during my sophomore year, which was the darkest period of my life and almost interrupted my studies.

Because my mother has said to me more than once: We are from poor backgrounds, and the only chance to get ahead is to study.

Although I followed my mother's teachings and studied hard and went to college, my real wish is not to stand out and honor my ancestors, but to help my mother live a better life in the future.

My mother's sudden death made me lose my direction immediately. This so-called university is no longer meaningful to me, or my current attitude towards life cannot be said to be unrelated to this matter.

I cannot deny that during the darkest and confusing days of my life, without Annie, my life would have completely changed. It was Annie who pulled me back from the edge of the abyss and got me back on track.

So over the years I have been telling myself in my heart that even if I fail the whole world, I can never let Annie down, because I know that this is what I owe her and it will take me a lifetime to repay it.
