Chapter 423 Only You Tonight (1/2)

Before the construction of the South Sea project was started, Essie and Zac went to C Island to inspect the construction of the base on the island.

They didn't take the same plane, but they arranged their schedule respectively. Zac arrived in the morning, while Essie arrived at noon, as if to avoid suspicion.

Unlike last time when she came to Sea City, Essie was not as innocent and naive as she was before. This time, she had made full preparation, because she had no one to rely on. She could only rely on herself.

The whole afternoon, except for two formulaic reports about business, Zac didn't talk to her. In his eyes, she was a mere stranger.

She tried to forced herself to adapt to his indifference and ignorance, but her heart did not listen to her orders. It kept twisting, twitching, and even wanted to go on strike, so that she fell to the ground and died directly.

She was like an addict to drug. She was suffering from rehab and insomnia. She remembered that last time when she broke up with Hanson, she was not so sad. She fought with the demon every day and almost didn't think about Hanson at all.

Why was she so sad this time? Even if she had Hanson by her side, it would not relieve her pain.

After dinner, Essie wandered on the beach alone, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was very quiet in the night, with only the howling of sea waves and the roar of sea wind by her ears.

She climbed onto a reef and looked down at the surging waves beneath her feet. A wave came up and hit the rocks splashing. Her dress edge was wet, but she didn't step back. Instead, she moved closer.

A pair of big hands stretched out from darkness and grabbed her arms. ”If you keep moving forward, you will fall down.”

There was a hint of warning in his low voice, but she was very familiar with his voice. Her eyes were suddenly wet, and the dark night helped to hide the emotions on her face.

”Why are you here?” She asked in a low voice.

”It's just a shit place. We haven't set up the internet yet. What else can we do besides walking on the beach?” He said lightly. The base was still under construction, and the satellite network had not been laid down yet. They came here to supervise the construction process.

”In fact, you don't have to come here in person. You can send a vice general manager or a director,” She muttered, as if talking to herself.
