Nora pov.
Richard didn't come back all night.
Since he didn't come back, I went to look for him.
I re-made my breakfast, changed into a lovely dress, and then drove to Richard's office.
Before I left, I called him.
The phone was picked up this time, and Richard's cold voice came on the other end of the line, "Something wrong?"
I said, "You're at the office now, right? I've prepared breakfast for you."
"You used this trick many times!"Richard sounded even colder.
"Did I?"I felt a little guilty.
Once upon a time, I did do many things to get rid of Richard.
Pretending to make up and making breakfast was something I had done.
I used to put a lot of mustard, toothpaste, laxatives in the breakfast I gave him......
No wonder Richard doesn't have the slightest trust in me now. I smiled awkwardly and said, "This time, it's not like any other. It's a normal,delicious breakfast."
Richard still wouldn't answer me, and I made my voice more gentle, "I got up early to get ready."
"If there's nothing else, hang up the phone!"Richard said.
I immediately blocked, "No! Trust me this time. I won't catch you."
I said more aggressively, "I made you your favorite food last night, but you didn't come back. I got up early this morning,and I burned my hand making breakfast for you, and I......"
Before I could finish my sentence, Richard interrupted me, "At the office;I will go to the branch meeting at ten o'clock."
"Good! I can be at your company at nine!"
Richard promised me!
That's great! It's a good start!
After hanging up the phone, I immediately drove to Richard's company.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at my destination.
I took my breakfast and walked quickly towards Richard's office.
All that came to my mind at that moment was a picture of a bright future with Richard.
"Hey, Nora!"
A familiar voice called out to me.
When I turned around and saw the person, all my good feelings were broken.
It was Jessica!
This woman was my former best friend, the person I trusted the most; Derek's lover, an accomplice!
I couldn't wait to kill her, but it wasn't the best time to do it.
I disguised my true emotions and responded, "Good morning, Jessica. What are you doing here?"
Jessica immediately came up and took my hand: "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for work. Did Richard hurt you again? He's such a bully."
I didn't answer; I just felt ridiculous.
Jessica was such a hypocrite, denigrating Richard in front of me in the previous life and provoking my relationship with Richard, but used to seduce Richard behind my back.
"Derek asked me to tell you that he always loved you.Don't worry, I'm your friend,and I will help you get together."Jessica came up to my ear and whispered.
She continued, "Did you do what I told you? Slit your wrists!To let Richard know that you would rather die than be with him!"
"Honey, as your best friend,I'm sad that you can't be with the person you love the most. Don't worry;I will always help you."
Jessica's tone was intimate, as if she was really looking out for me.
But the dialogue was so ridiculous.
I couldn't help but laugh at once. I was so stupid to believe her and do what she said in my previous life.
"What are you laughing at?"Jessica asked.
"You are really my good friend!"I said this with a big smile, laughing at myself in my previous life and at Jessica at this moment.
In this life, I will not be deceived by her again.
"Of course, we are good friends."Jessica's expression was a little strange.
She was silent for a moment and then said, "I feel something different you today. What's wrong with you?Did Richard force you to do something again?"
"No, I have something to do; I'll leave now!"After saying that, I immediately pulled my hand away and walked towards Richard's office.
I just wanted to get rid of Jessica and get Richard to eat my hand-made breakfast.
I walked into the office, and Lisa, the receptionist, came up to greet me with a smile, "Hello ma'am, the Boss is in a meeting; you can wait over here. Do you need some coffee?"
"No, thank you, I'll go straight to Richard's office and wait for him."
As I walked inside, I said only a few steps out I heard the man behind me on the phone: "Madame is here......yes,alone......no......no gun! Knife? No, there's no knife!"
I looked back at Lisa, and as if she was in shock, she immediately hung up the phone and then smiled at me awkwardly.
"Don't be nervous; I'm gentle."My reassurance made Lisa's smile even more awkward.
I shook my head helplessly, then continued walking towards the office.
Getting people to change their minds about me seemed to be a challenging task.
Richard's office decoration style is very modern minimalist; the main color is black and white gray.
The overall style is very simple and atmospheric, but it is too serious.
And the office is the place where Richard spends the most time in a day, so if I can leave some of the items I bought here, as soon as he sees them, he will remember me.
That's a great idea.
Just as I was walking back and forth in the office, thinking about exactly what to buy, Richard returned.
"What are you doing?"He said.
"Breakfast; I made breakfast for you!"I said as I walked over and took his hand and walked to the break room inside the office.
"You put it there; I'll eat it later. You go back first!"Richard remained very cold.
"Okay, I'll leave when you're done eating," I said.
Richard didn't respond to me; he just stood there, looking at me.
Richard pov.
Nora actually came to my office.
I knew it before she even walked into the office.
Lisa called my assistant, Zack.
"What do you mean? Madame is coming to the office?"Zack sounded surprised with a touch of fear; he did so because it was not peaceful whenever Nora came to the office.
I heard Zack continue to ask follow-up questions, "Does she bring a gun......knife?"
Immediately after, I heard Nora's voice on the other end of the phone, "Don't be nervous, I'm gentle."
Once Zack heard this, he looked at me with more concern.
Then he said, "Boss, do you need me to tell madam that you have temporarily left?"
"No need."I walked toward the office.
Zack continued, "Boss, it's better not to eat the breakfast madam made."
"Shut up!"I said.
I walked towards the office and saw Nora in the doorway walking around the office with one hand still gesturing at something.
"What are you doing?"I asked.
"Breakfast; I made breakfast for you!"She led me to the break room, and then I saw the breakfast she had prepared.,
"You put it there; I'll eat it later. You go back first!"
I didn't want her to do something ridiculous in the company, but I knew for sure she wouldn't leave, and it was just as I had expected.
Finally, I picked up the breakfast and took a bite.
I had thought of all the bad scenarios, but I hadn't imagined that it would be a delicious breakfast!
"Was it good?"Nora came up to me and asked, a smile on her face.
Although I knew that Nora had other purposes for all the things she did to me, her smile at this moment is lovely, just like when we first met at the party five years ago.
I took another bite of the breakfast in my hand, "It's not bad."
"You take another bite, and it must taste pretty good."She said with a smile.
Nora was very different today, and I wondered what she was up to.
Maybe she was preparing a bigger plot?
I finished my breakfast as fast as I could and said, "You can go now!"
"You don't want to see me that much?"Nora suddenly moved closer to me as she spoke, wrapping one arm around my neck and running the fingers of her other hand across the knot of my throat and chest.
Her touch made my body tingle.
Just as I was about to push her away, her slender fingertips unbuttoned my shirt......
I grabbed her hand and pressed her down on the sofa, "Tell me, what is your purpose this time?"
"You should be gentle with your beautiful wife."As she spoke, she moved closer towards me, stopping at a very close distance, the tip of her nose almost resting on the tip of mine.
I could almost clearly perceive her warm breath.
By the way, did she say wife?
Did she claim to be my wife?
That's ridiculous; just a short time ago, she would rather die than admit that.
Now, what the hell does she want to do?
