Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 634: Tried His Best To Get Close To Helen  

Cece’s POV:

After leaving Jane’s office, I casually walked into George’s office.

When George saw me, he displayed an indifferent attitude.Although he still maintained basic politeness, I could sense his impatience with me.

"George, you seem to come down with a headache the minute you see me." I sat opposite him and grimaced in an unfriendly manner.

"You are right about that."

George made no bones about how he felt about me.I stared directly into his eyes and asked aggressively, "Why? Is it because your guilty conscience is pricking you?"

"What are you faffing about?" George looked up at me and asked coldly.

"George, you and I both know how many times you used me.I’ve helped you many times.Is this how you pay back your benefactor?"

George knitted his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Let’s forget about what happened in high school.That’s history already.Let’s talk about what happened recently.When I was on a business trip in New York a few months ago, you asked Kendal to invite our high school friends for a get together in my name, so Helen would agree to come.Then you used the opportunity to send Helen back after the party.Last night, you used fixing my relationship with Kendal as an excuse to invite Helen to dinner.In order to get close to Helen, you have put in a lot of effort.All at my expense!"

George wasn’t annoyed that I had called a spade a spade.Instead, he asked nonchalantly, "So what?"

"It’s okay you use me.I don’t mind as long as it’s for Helen’s good.I’m willing to cooperate.If you still think I can be of use to you, then feel free to continue…"

I held my chin, narrowed my eyes and waited patiently for his response.I was a hundred percent sure that he was serious about Helen, hence I had the courage to blurt that out.

Helen, that naive girl, even wanted to help Kendal and me with our troubled relationship.

But when it came to her own relationship, she had no idea how to handle it.I was in awe of George’s sudden serious smile and response.

He said, "Tell me.What do you want from me?"

"Now we’re talking the same language! I love having intelligent acquaintances! I’m here to cooperate with you.We are planning a new high-end community with exquisite decoration.The company plans to introduce a whole set of intelligent household equipment to enhance Our competitive power in the market.I’ve researched the products of several companies and found that the products of Zhester Technology are by far the best.

‘To cut a long story short, I just wanted to know if you would give me a special discount."

Actually, I didn’t just want a special discount; I wanted it to be a virtual giveaway to me.

Obviously the price should be much lower than the market price to secure our profit.

"All products of Zhester Technology have a pricing system.I can’t break the pricing system and market rules for you.Otherwise, shareholders and agents at all levels will be up in arms."

George had always been a man of principle, so I was expecting that answer.I replied with a smile, "Don’t worry.This community is for high-society circles.So there won’t be much demand in the market.It

won’t break your market rules.And I am not saying that I won’t pay you.I have helped you so many times.It’s payback time now, don’t you think?"

In the end, George approved my request by way of compromise.I could buy the main products at factory price and the rest of the marginal products were written off as gifts.

After the deal was settled, George duly signed his name on the contract I was so excited that I looked through the contract several times and then put it into my bag for safe keeping.

Before leaving, I reminded him, "George, whether you mean it or not, your behavior has caused unimaginable pain to Helen.She is like a stubborn mule.Once she really makes up her mind, you will have no chance at all.So, if you really care about her, get your act together."

The whole morning.I not only took revenge on Jane, but also managed to sign a contract with George.It felt so invigorating! But I didn’t want to see Kendal.

Now that he had deleted my social media account, he had made his standpoint adequately clear.He no longer wanted to chase me.He wanted to start a new chapter of his life without me.

Well, then, the civil thing to do was to shower my blessings upon him.However, I couldn’t help getting angry.

What a lowlife Kendal was! He had been chasing me for so many years that I became used to it.But then he suddenly stopped chasing me and I could not readily adapt.

For a whole month, I subconsciously checked on my phone from time to time, hoping to see a message from him.

But nothing came through Fumbling through my phone waiting for Kendal’s messages ‘had become a new part of my life.

But now, not only had I never received a message from me, he even deleted me! Looking at the messages that I had sent him but couldn’t be delivered, I felt a hole in my heart I always thought that as long as I was given enough time, I would be better and stronger, and then I would finally be good enough for an outstanding man like Kendal.

I thought he would wait for me, but… I didn’t tell Helen that I was leaving for Philly.I took a taxi to the airport.But when I arrived at the waiting hall, I was surprised to see Kendal there.

"I knew you wouldn’t go to the dinner tonight, and that you would sneak off to Philly earlier than expected," said Kendal, sitting opposite me.

"Who are you? Do I know you? Have we met before?"

When I saw him, the anger that I had been suppressing, came up like a jack-in-the-box.Now that he was in the waiting hall, it meant that he had also bought a ticket to Philly on the same flight as me.It was the usual story.

Every time he made me angry, he would try to make up by coming to Philly to cajole me and beg for my forgiveness.

But this time my forgiveness came with a price tag.

How dare he delete my account and flirt with other wanton girls? Damn him! However, this time, instead of pacifying me, Kendal asked seriously, "Cece, I have been badgering you shamelessly in the past few years.You must be fed up by now, right? In fact, I shouldn’t have come here today.But after pondering about it for a while, I reckoned that even if I decided to give up on us, I shouldn’t have just deleted your account so rudely and sever contact with you.I think it’s better to talk to you in person."

Give up? Sever contact? So he didn’t come to apologize to me? Was he really breaking all ties with me? I stared at him blankly, and suddenly felt my heart sink.

"Cece, I have never regretted pursuing you these years.But now, I hope you will be happy in your life in the future."

When I came to my senses, I was so angry and heartbroken that I laughed haughtily at his words.I asked, "So you booked the ticket just so you could talk nonsense with me in the waiting hall?"

"Yes.I knew that you won’t listen to me if I tell you outside," he explained, lowering his head.

"Thank you for your kind consideration.I will pay for your air ticket.Thank you for not pestering me in the future.You can get out now." I took out a stack of cash from my bag and flung it into his shocked face.

Stop pestering me? It was just a lame excuse for him to fall in love with some floozy.

I hid one important fact from everyone.

When I flew into New York yesterday and was waiting in the car park of the airport, I spied Kendal hugging an unknown female intimately.

Then they got into the car and he left with her.I didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to deduce what was happening. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

From that moment on, I knew that chances of us ever being together were zilch.

Therefore I skipped the appointment today and decided to go straight back to Philly.

But never did I expect to meet him at the airport! And under such hurtful circumstances.

Anyway I could understand his actions.He must have got tired of the unrequited love.He had been pursuing me for years and I kept giving him the run around.

I needed more time.I guess he finally got tired.Well, I would slowly adapt to a life without him.From now on, I would erase him from my mind..
