29 A Sense Of Loss (2/2)

He went to grab Li Xiuying's arm. ”Wait, how, how did you find out about..”

Li Xiuying sensed Chen Wei grabbing out for her wrist, she dodged his hand and turned around to face him again.

Chen Wei took back his hand which was clutching at air.

Li Xiuying: ”About you and Li Yu Yan your wife? I saw it with the organs on my face that allow me to see. If you wanted to keep it a secret you shouldn't have slept with her in my bed. You should be happy, now you can happily marry Li Yu Yan.”

Chen Wei thought that when the engagement with Li Xiuying come to an end he would feel like dancing on the roof tops, but for some reason all he felt was a sense of loss.

Why am I not happy?

He looked into Li Xiuying's eyes.

I never noticed how dazzling they were before.

Chen Wei felt he it was a mistake letting her go: ”I'm sorry, may be we could try...”

Li Xiuying: ” Do you think 'sorry' can make any difference? It's just a word. One word against a thousand actions.”

She didn't think it was possible that she lost even more respect for the man in front of her.

Li Xiuying couldn't stomach spending anymore time with this animal.

She walked away with a skip in her step. Li Xiuying felt like a giant burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

I still have so much to do. I have to make a few calls tonight. Don't worry Li Yu Yan, Li Wang, Li Mei Wu you're time will come.

But for now Li Xiuying felt it was fine to allow herself to enjoy her small victory.

”Do you think we're all going to be fired?”

”I messed up when I did the initially assessment!”

”I can't afford to loose this job, I have to look after my parents.”

”Dr. Li could probably handle the situation tonight even if it was just her on her own.”

The door handle turned, everyone held their breath's as the door slowly opened.
