Chapter 607 Get Out Of My Way
Yandel hesitated. “Oh! You’re reluctant?” Natalie arched her brows.
“Not at all. Since this flash drive is important for you, I’ll go down to retrieve it now,” Yandel reassured her.
“Thanks. Sorry for troubling you.”
Gazing at the man who stepped out of the office hastily, Natalie’s lips curved into a smile as she tapped the tips of her fingers rhythmically on the desk.
Yandel, despite how harsh your words are, I bet your heart can’t resist leaping with joy when she comes into sight!
Soon, Yandel took the VIP elevator to the ground floor.
When he stepped out of the elevator, all the staff at the front counter could barely believe what came into view and started babbling.
“My goodness! It’s our CEO! He usually comes and goes with his car parked in the basement. What makes him drop by the main entrance all of a sudden?”
“How do I know, huh?”
“That’s not the main point! Don’t let the chance to drool over the eye candy slip away! Good gracious! Our CEO is so good-looking!”
“Our CEO is undoubtedly an outstanding man! He has been focusing on his career, and there aren’t any rumors about his love affairs so far!”
After stepping out of the building, Yandel lowered his head all the time while trying to locate the flash drive as mentioned by Natalie.
In the blink of an eye, a figure dashed toward him.
“Yandel, I miss you so much!” Amelia felt a prickle of joy and burst into tears.
Yandel stiffened when the girl suddenly wrapped her arms around him. He could not help but catch his breath as he smelt a light whiff of rose scent.
“Finally, I get to see you!” Amelia yelled in exhilaration.
When Yandel regained his composure, he realized they had not seen each other for three years. The young girl in his memory seemed to have transformed into a mature young lady. There might have been other changes in her over the past three years.
However, he shrugged her off nonchalantly. “Why are you here? How could you wrap your arms around me?”
Amelia’s eyes darkened the moment Yandel shoved her away. Nevertheless, there were still glimmers of light in her eyes when she fastened her gaze at him.
She smiled bitterly. “When I was young, didn’t you tell me I could do anything I wanted when I grew up? Now that I’ve grown up, I wish to be by your side. That’s why I’m here! Yandel, how about we start all over again?”
“Hmph! Don’t you feel that it’s kind of childish? Even you yourself can’t deny that I told you that when you were young!”
“No, I don’t feel so. I really mean it,” Amelia retorted.
“But it’s childish to me! Do you need me to repeat what I said three years ago?”
At the sight of her biting her lips in silence, he continued to mock. “So, you’ve forgotten about it? It’s all right. I’ll refresh your memory.”
He sounded placid as ever, but he was trying to bottle up his emotions inwardly till there were bulging veins on his tightly clenched fists.
Yandel would rather cut ties with Amelia so she would not pin any hope on him again. To him, it was pointless dragging on with wishful thinking for something that could never turn into reality.
“Amelia Synder, please get out of my way! Never show up in front of me again!” Yandel snapped at her and turned to stride off grimly without throwing her a sideways glance.
Gazing at his retreating figure, Amelia stood rooted to the spot.
She had actually foreseen this scene. Hence, she had told herself to be prepared for the disappointing moment long ago. But why did my heart still ache so much because of his words?
Tears trickled down her cheeks again as her eyes were gradually shut.
In the meantime, Natalie was gazing at Yandel, who was back in the CEO’s office, with a glint of subtleness in her eyes.
“Did you find my flash drive?” she asked meaningfully.
“You know that she’s waiting downstairs, don’t you? That’s why you assigned me to go down and look for your so-called flash drive?” Yandel smiled bitterly.
Natalie let out a deep sigh. “Amelia has no choice but to wait for you at the entrance because you’ve been blocking her number. I bet she won’t easily leave without seeing you. It’s been three years. Be frank with me. Don’t you miss her, by any chance?”
