Chapter 414 My Heart Ached (1/2)

In the morning, as soon as Essie entered the office, the secretary came. ”Mr. Zac's secretary called and invited you to come to the tea house to talk about business at 3:00 this afternoon.”

”Which one?” asked she. She was afraid that she misheard.

”President Rong of the Emperor, your ex- Husband. ” The secretary dared not to utter the last word ”husband” in fear that Essie would feel uncomfortable.

”Okay.” She nodded while she was restless inside.

Did Zac want to see her?

What should he tell her?

Essie's heart began to race uncontrollably. She was like a traveler who had walked five days and nights in the desert, and was dying to see a fresh spring.

Although she had decided not to contact him anymore, her heart was so eager to see him, so eager for his touch and warm and safe embrace.

She couldn't help missing him every day.

His tall and handsome figure constantly appeared in her mind. She closed her eyes, the shadow was still there, and she reached out her hand to turn off the light. The shadow was still in the darkness. Even if she was asleep, it would linger in her dream. What was more horrifying was that her soul was longing for it, constantly surging a gentle wave. She tried to hold it tightly, so that it could never escape.

She took out her makeup bag from the drawer. Without his company, she couldn't sleep well. Every night she couldn't fall asleep, with dark circles under her eyes. She didn't eat well, either. She felt sad and lost her appetite. Her face was pale, and even her chin was sharp.

She needed make-up to make herself look energetic. She needed to hide the dark circles under her eyes, and her pale face, as well as all her sadness and haggard. She didn't want him to see her fragility.

The moment she entered the VIP room, Zac noticed that she had put on makeup which was a bit heavy. In front of him, she never wore makeup and always kept a straight face. Did she do it on purpose today?

Essie looked better than her. He had no dark circles around his eyes and no stubble on his chin. He was still very energetic and handsome.

Disappointment was like waves rolled up by the violent wind in the sea.

She was dispensable in his heart. Her existence couldn't affect his mood at all.

”Mr. Zac asked me to come here. What's the matter?” She tried to sound calmer than she thought. He made the appointment by his secretary, not himself. Obviously, he just treated her as a client.
