Chap 3: Crying.

2230 Words
Mrs. Jessica Forger used the eyes of a wealthy family to evaluate Pandora from top to bottom. Her every gesture and step did not temporarily displease her. Mrs. Jessica Forger smiled warmly and said: "Sit down, please." Pandora obediently sat down. At that time, Mrs. Jessica Forger said gracefully: "I heard that our Pandora is very good at studying, especially in the field of literature, having won many great prizes. My family likes girls to study literature, both elegant and gentle. Today we met Pandora, and it's true we did not disappoint you two." Mrs. Tiffany James heard that and smiled widely. Pandora, on the other hand, is modest. "Madam, it is very commendable. Talent compared to other seniors is like a small autumn leaf. It is not worth mentioning." Jessica Forger put her hand over her mouth and asked again: "What school is Pandora going to? What major is it?" "Yes, I studied screenwriting at film theater school." She replies. Jessica Forger looked briefly surprised. "I thought you studied fashion design or business administration to continue the family business." Pandora laughed, she was about to say a few more polite sentences when the old man, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said: "It's not important what industry you study these days, it's how much experience you have in that industry that matters." They sat and talked for such a long time but still did not see the "male lead" come. In Pandora's heart, she was worried and nervous. She did not deny that there was an inhuman thought in her heart that if he didn't come, it wouldn't matter, because she couldn't marry Young Master Forger, it wouldn't be either her fault. But reality surpassed Pandora's expectations. At this time, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out. With a "knock" sound, all eyes were on the door, a guy with a cold face, a suitable face entered, bowed to a few seniors, and sat down opposite her. Pandora raised her head to look at the person in front of her. Oh! She almost fell backwards because this person was... The one who had been fighting earlier. Contrary to Pandora's feelings, Master Forger looked at the person in front of him calmly. Pandora stared at him, why did it feel familiar the more she looked at him, as if she looked at him somewhere before. A memory suddenly flashed through her mind when she rode her bicycle into the parking garage this afternoon and almost hit a person that afternoon, and at that time, even though that person was wearing glasses, it passed very quickly, but Pandora remembers the contours very well on that person's face, and that's not... the person sitting in front of her? Why in the world are there such coincidents? "Oh my god, what's wrong with your face?" Mrs. Jessica Forger saw Young Master Forger's red and purple face and asked worriedly. "It's okay, it's just that I encountered a crazy dog ​​just now, so it bit me in the face." The young forger master replied indifferently. Dog bite in the face? Only demons believe. But to keep her face in front of Pandora's mother and daughter, Mrs. Jessica Forger also stopped questioning. After the people arrived, it was time for the restaurant to order. In meal. Because of her bad mood, Pandora did not stop drinking. Alcohol is now like an antidote, something to save her soul. Pandora drank one glass after another until she began to feel her spirits rise and she still had no intention of stopping. At that time, Mrs. Jessica Forger also noticed Pandora. Mrs. Tiffany James saw this and was afraid that she would have a bad look, so she pinched her gently. "You don't drink anymore, you are drunk." Pandora did not protest, she let Mrs. Tiffany James took the wine glass in her hand. Pandora glanced at the clock, it was nine o'clock at night, not knowing what Lay was doing at that hour. He wondered why she didn't call him. He couldn't contact her either. Lay is worried but doesn't know that what she said to him is about to say goodbye. Pandora wants to cry, wants to laugh. But in front of the three former families, she couldn't go crazy like that. She thought of her father, feeling helpless and desperate to the extreme. At that moment, something both hard and sharp shot straight at Pandora's forehead. Causing her pain to scream softly, the yeast in her body was also driven away by half. Mrs. Jessica Forger, Mr. Forger, and Mrs. Tiffany James was attracted to Pandora's scream. The three of them looked at her and saw her forehead was red. And the culprit of this is Young Master Forger. He smashed a lobster, causing the shell to fly straight to Pandora's face. The Forger family's young master laughed. "I missed my hand." _____________ The party is over. Finally able to get out of that b*****e. Pandora staggered out of the restaurant, without knowing the three adults behind her silently exchanged, Mrs. Tiffany James quietly went to get the car, and the two grandparents also left, wanting to let the young Foger Master take care of Pandora. Pandora pretended to go ahead, at this moment, a voice suddenly called from behind: "Miss Pandora James." Pandora absentmindedly turned around, seeing that the person who had called her was unexpectedly the young forger Master- Daniel Forger. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked over nonchalantly. Daniel Forger's gaze slid from top to bottom of Pandora, the corners of his lips lifted, and he said, disgustedly: "Looks like Ms. Pandora James doesn't agree with this marriage. I don't want to force you, here's some money, you take it and say no to my mother." Daniel Forger shows a bank card, also a black card. Pandora used the eyes of a sane person, peering at the card in his hand. Then take the card. Daniel Forger smiled proudly, thinking that the girl in front of him was just that, but he did not expect to easily chase her away. But his smile did not last long when Pandora suddenly threw away the card in her hand. Daniel Forger's eyes widened in disbelief. Pandora again pointed her finger in his face, saying: "Hey, go away from here like that card." Then she turned her head again and staggered away. But Daniel Forger still did not let her go there, he was extremely angry and chased after Pandora, holding Pandora's hand. "I know you don't want to be in this forced marriage, and neither do I. Your family needs money, I gave you money. What else do you want? Can't you stop torturing yourself? When I got there, I saw that her eyes were red, and she was drinking alcohol. There must be something miserable. You..." Daniel Forger kept lashing out at Pandora, but he hadn't finished his sentence before she shoved his hand away. Pandora turned her head and slapped Daniel Forger in the face. The slap left him frozen for a few seconds. From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to slap him. Not even a light hit. But now he was beaten by a completely unknown girl, in such a crowded place. Daniel Forger's self-esteem was seriously hurt. But without waiting for him to react, Pandora turned and left. She hates him. She hated this marriage. She also hates herself. Pandora burst into tears, she could cry at last. She could finally shed her fake disguise, no longer subject to the appraising gaze of Mrs. Jessica Forger, of Mr. Forger. Dieu Nhan walked on the street on unstable steps, the later it got late, the colder and colder the night dew became. Not knowing how long she had struggled on her feet, Pandora stopped. Finally, she could no longer try. She sat down on the side of the road, sobbing. I don't know how much time had passed, until she felt her eyes were extremely painful, and couldn't cry anymore. Pandora raised her head, she wiped her tears with her hand, causing the makeup on her face to return and be smudged. Pandora opened her phone, she saw a lot of missed calls. It was Lay, there was also Irene. Lay, now she knows how to tell him. She didn't have the courage. In the end, Pandora still decided to ignore Lay's calls. She called Irene. Finally, the other end of the line also picked up. "What's up? How's everything? Are you okay? Where are you?" Irene's voice rang out, hurried and anxious. Pandora burst into tears again, Irene's concern like a hammer blow to the strong wall she had just built. When Irene had heard that, she became more and more worried. Even Yerin, who was probably listening silently next to him, also interjected and said: "Where are you? What happened, tell me now!?" Pandora sobbed. "Can you come to pick me up?" Irene was worried: "Where are you? You have to tell me where you are so I can come to pick you up!" "I do not know." Pandora put her hands over her head, now completely disoriented, not knowing where she was. She raised her head, surrounded by a thick night. She didn't know where she had been lost. On the other hand, Irene felt more like sitting on fire than anyone else. It's almost eleven o'clock now. Is it dangerous for Pandora as a girl to be alone at home? She quickly asked: "You sent me the address. You turn on geolocation." Pandora listened to Irene, she fumbled around on the phone screen. The phone didn't seem to listen to her anymore, because its screen was covered with her tears. The light from the phone made Pandora's eyes hurt, each image of the words on it was blurred before her eyes. After sending Irene's location, Pandora sat with her knees bent, feeling helpless, heartbroken, desperate, and hopeless. After a while, Irene finally arrived. She stopped the car in front of Pandora, breathing a sigh of relief because nothing happened to her. Irene got out of the car, went to Pandora, and helped her up. When she saw her face was wet with tears, and her whole body smelled of alcohol, Irene knew that something bad had happened. Pandora hugged Irene, speechless. "I'm a bad girl, I'm a lousy girl." "If there's something, say it slowly. Let's get in the car." Irene opened the car door for Pandora to get in, then she went around to the driver's seat. At this time, Pandora had time to calm down a bit, she took a wet piece of paper from the car to wipe her tears to stay awake. Then she spoke: "Today is the worst day of my life." Irene started the car, although in her heart she knew the reason why Pandora was like that, but not sure if it hadn't been said through her mouth. So she asked: "Now can you tell what's wrong?" Pandora was silent, her eyes fixed on the street engulfed in the golden light before her eyes, feeling no warmth, only feeling dreary and lonely endlessly. "It turns out that my parents have always kept me hidden. My father has cancer, the company is going downhill." "Really!?" Irene exclaimed in surprise. She felt like she had just heard a thunderclap. When did Pandora's dad get sick, she had just met him on New Year's Eve, still very healthy and showing no signs of illness. It turns out that the world is always so impermanent. Irene felt the bottom of her heart sink, her throat constricted, this shock must have been great, outsiders like her still can't believe it, hands and feet trembling, let alone a daughter like Pandora. Cancer is the cruelest and most unintentional disease. It makes family members seem to know in advance that their loved ones will die, making the patient live in despair, torment, and suffering so much. Irene's eyes were stinging, she wanted to cry but reminded herself to be strong to support Pandora. At this point, Pandora continued: "That's why I agreed with my mother to be engaged to the second son of the Forger family." Pandora's tears welled up again, but without saying more, Irene must have guessed the answer behind it, she said hoarsely: "So you have to break up with Lay?" Pandora nodded, each nod as if she was stabbing her own heart with a dagger. She cried again, sobbing. Irene next to her sighed quietly, who expected the reason behind it to be related to many things and more painful than she thought it would be. She looked up at the night sky, the starry sky glittered so beautifully, but why couldn't she give Pandora a glimmer of hope? What's the point of twinkling stars in the sky like that, for those who are desperate to look up there and wish but in the end can't have it. Irene reached out a hand to hold Pandora's thin hands, as the greatest consolation she could give right now. "No matter how difficult things are, Yerin and I will cope with you." Pandora's heart ignited a spark of warmth, but a fire in the long winter also died out. At that moment, Irene said again:
