And then she pulled Roy's arms and said lightly, "Let's go."
Roy was pulled by Cassie directly. Fredrick was still there. He didn't move at all.
Coming back to the car, Cassie was still trembling. She failed to close the door after trying many times while Roy was still in a daze. He didn't recover until he saw her unable to close the door, and he just came to close the door.
She wanted to cry, but she failed.
Her fingers trembled, but she didn't know why she did it this way.
She kept talking silently, "If only Irish were there by my side, then she would know what's wrong with me."
Roy wasn't arrogant anymore. He was like a helpless child, and he dared not to take a deep breath in front of Cassie.
"Just drive the car. Why are we still not moving?" Seeing him in no action, Cassie lifted up her voice and shouted.
Roy was frightened. He hadn't seen Cassie this way, so he just responded and started the car.
Cassie turned her head to the window, feeling upset.
The car just stopped immediately after less than 200 meter's driving.
Cassie didn't pay much attention, so her body just came forward. Luckily, she had a safety belt; otherwise, she would just rush out.
"What are you doing? Can you make it?" She was annoyed. Roy fired off the car. Regardless of her anger, he just turned to tighten her arms.
"It aches." Her arm still aches since Fredrick pinched it.
Roy released his hands immediately.
"Why did you just stop so urgently?" She massaged her arms.
Roy licked his lips. Although he seemed to be stressed, he still asked carefully. "Then ... You said that you are now attached to me and that you love me more than him. Is that true?"
Cassie couldn't say anything.
"Is that true?" Roy dared not to tighten her arms and just pulled her clothes like a child.
Cassie closed her lips lightly. She didn't know what to say.
Roy was still waiting for her answer.
"I..." Cassie hesitated. She just lowered her eyes, and her face was still blushed. Finally, she just snarled, "I don't know."
Roy looked at her, and he found that her cheek was a little blushed. However, his eyes were shining, and he just held her tightly.
"Hey, just hurry up. I only asked for a short leave, and my salary will be deducted if I come back late." Cassie murmured, but she didn't push him away.
"Say you love me; otherwise, I will not do it." Roy began to act shamelessly.
Cassie stared at him, "I will not say that. Will you drive the car or not? Otherwise, I will just get out of the car."
"How can I drive since I am holding you?"
"Do not ask too much. Roy, I was cheating Fredrick just now!"
"Why did you just say that?" Roy was angry,
Cassie beat him, "I haven't forgiven you, Roy."
He held her hands, and he didn't take her in a dilemma again but just said lightly, "Yes, but no matter whether you forgive me or not, I love you."
Her heart seemed to be beating quickly, but she couldn't pull her hands back. She bit her lips, but she began to cry when she began to speak. And soon, she raised her hands and bumped him heavily.
"Why did you just treat me like that? Why?" She was venting her emotion.
Roy couldn't help holding her tightly, and he kept saying sorry to her.
Cassie spoke and bit his shoulder harshly.
Roy just put up with it and just let her vent her emotion casually.
It was a tough turn from hatred to love. She struggled, and every cell in her body was screaming out how to gain rebirth. Human beings are emotional, and struggling with feelings is unavoidable. It was the same case for Cassie. She didn't know whether she could gain growth one day, and she only knew that now she was in a bigger and bigger entanglement. Or maybe she didn't want to admit the clearer and clearer feelings in her heart.

Irish was standing on the stage. Today, her topic was "The Connection between a Human Being's Dream and Personality". After class, she was as popular among students as usual.
One male student shouted, "Ms. Irish, please do not be afraid. We can protect you from the reporters outside."
"Is that so?"
All the students shouted, "Yes."
Standing on the stage, Irish saw those young and active faces. She felt touched, so she just bowed and said, "Thank you all."
Touch was not like a daily necessity, but life needed to go on.
Those reporters were gathering at the school gate, and once she or her car appeared, it would be very crowded. She ran into the same experience as stars, but she didn't have the same treatment.
Irish received the notice from the Dean.
As she entered the office, she saw him drinking coffee. The Dean said immediately as he saw her, "Please sit down, Irish."
Irish noticed his movement, and she just didn't feel good.
The Dean put down the cup as she sat down, smilingly asking her, "Do you want some coffee?"
Irish shook her head, "Thank you, Dean. Just say something directly."
The Dean smiled, "Sure."
You have called me to the office, so you must have something to discuss with me. Irish thought.
She still kept silent.
Irish heard the dean sigh, and soon she felt nervous.
"Irish, you know, there has been a lot of news on you recently." The Dean said slowly.
Irish adjusted his words, "It's a rumor, Dean."
Rumors were entertaining and talked about, but they might not be real. However, they would be the truth once they were identified as news.
The Dean understood her meaning, so he just smiled, "Irish, we know that sometimes rumors are scarier than news. Rumors can destroy one person."
Irish didn't want to wait for one more minute, so she just asked directly, "What do you want to say?"
The Dean thought for a while, "See, there is much news on you, and you just quit your position in the Institute and didn't accept the request to make an assessment from the association. It's not good for you. This is a university, and your job here is to be a teacher. Now the situation is not beneficial for you. As an employer, we should support you, but we should also take effect into consideration. I am confident in your ability, but other leaders do not think so..."
"So, you hoped that I should quit the job?" Seeing him murmuring, Irish just said that directly.
