The internet was on an uproar tonight. People wouldn't stop discussing the accident.
Chris and the others also left the hospital around nine in the evening.
Vivi came to the hospital in her car, then she offered Rachel to go home together.
However, Rachel's cell phone rang as she exited the elevator.
Vivi didn't know who the other party was, she clearly saw that when the phone was connected, Rachel immediately lowered the volume of her voice.
She thought it might be inappropriate for her to listen to her friend's business.
Vivi was a girl with a big heart, she was worried that walking beside Rachel would make her uncomfortable, so she walked forward quickly while looking back from time to time and making sure they were not too far apart.
In less than a minute, Rachel hung up the phone and Vivi stopped walking at the same time.
She wanted to wait for Rachel and walk side by side again, but her friend abruptly stopped in her step.
"Vivi, sorry, I... I have business tonight, so I can't go home with you!"
After hearing this, Vivi said 'ah', and walked back to her. "Is there anything wrong?"
Rachel looked at her with apologetic eyes. "There is something wrong in the company, they asked me to come back. I'll take a taxi and go back there,"
Vivi was confused. "I can take you to your office, you know. On a cold night like this, it's not easy to get a taxi near the hospital. You don't have to hesitate with me, let me take you!"
Rachel's eyes flashed. "There's no need, really. You must be tired after working until this afternoon, so hurry back and rest."
"Besides, my company is not far from here. Some of my colleagues also asked me to pick them up and go to the company together. There are too many people and it's too much trouble for you to take and drop us off there. You'd better just go home first," she added.
Seeing that she was adamant about refusing, Vivi didn't think much of it. She just shook her head with difficulty. "What kind of company do you work for? Isn't your shift done already? Why do they call you at night like this? There's something wrong with your boss' brain!"
After speaking, Vivi was silent for a moment.
She remembered that Alan was Rachel's boss.
"Hahaha, they seem to like my work. For a newcomer like me, it's good to do anything they told me to. I don't dare to be picky."
Her emphasis on work that sounded like she valued her job a lot made Vivi empathize with her. "That's right. when I first started working, I was much worse than you!"
"So Vivi, you go back more and rest. My job is not hard, you don't need to worry!"
Vivi saw her figure walking back to the hospital, she could only helplessly nod. "Okay then. Don't forget to pay attention to your health and call me if you need anything!"
"Alright!"
Rachel rushed back to the inpatient and gradually disappeared from her sight. Vivi stared at her back and sighed.
She looked up at the starry night, unable to resist the urge to hug someone. She wondered why she felt left alone.
As Vivi was about to walk into the parking lot, a question came to her mind.
His question kept her puzzled, but she was more curious about another thing. She heard that man talk without arrogance and dominance like he used to be. And it took her by surprise to see him that way.
Vivi did not know exactly what happened to Tom, but she knew that the Wibowo family held a splendid engagement party a while ago and something extraordinary happened.
She also heard a lot of rumors, even heard that Sasha had married the Peter family.
The drama of the rich seemed to get more and more interesting than any bloody tv shows ever.
Vivi didn't have the time to understand it, but she was always gossiping about many things to spice up her life. At least it could distract her from the hectic big day that would storm her office soon.
...
At this meeting, Vivi suddenly heard Tom's voice. Out of courtesy, she turned around and answered flatly,"I'll go first, goodbye."
"Stay with me for a moment!"
Vivi stopped in her way, and turned back to face him again.
'You will reap what you sow' was what came to her mind when she looked at him.? Their previous encounter made Vivi's impression of Tom not so good.
She walked forward and ignored Tom's words. But after walking two steps, a hand caught her wrist and halted her step.
"What are you doing?" Vivi looked at her wrist that Tom held. It didn't hurt, but she couldn't let it go because of the man's strength.
A faint smile appeared on Tom's handsome and graceful cheek. "I asked you to wait with me, didn't you hear?"
"I heard that, I just don't want to be with you," Vivi glared at him, frowning.
Hearing this, Tom didn't get angry. He just let go of her wrist and raised his head towards the sky. "Do you have time? Can you stay with me for a moment?" He asked, sighing.
Vivi refused without thinking twice. "No!"
Why was he pretending to be weak like that?!
Who didn't know the Wibowo family's dominance over the city?!
Besides, Vivi had to go home and video call her boyfriend. How could she have the time to accompany this blind and selfless bastard!
Tom did not expect that Vivi would reject him so sharply.
He sighed and laughed at himself. "Do you really hate me?"
Vivi felt she was being interrogated.
She wanted to say yes, but she was afraid to anger the young master of a rich family. Even in the middle of the night like this, she would not be scared in the slightest if she were to take him to the forest and beat him viciously.
She pondered for a moment, then shook her head and nodded again. "It's not that I hate you. It's just that we don't get along with each other, so we better not meet,"
"We're not getting along?" Tom narrowed his eyes. "Isn't that how you describe a couple sometimes?"
Vivi was a patient person, but her patience ran out when she had to face Tom. "Mr. Tom, I have something to do. You have so many acquaintances, anyone would be honored to accompany you. Please don't give me such an award. It's late anyway, I'm leaving!"
Tom stood there and didn't move. Seeing Vivi's figure running away, the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly faded.
He suddenly felt so sad.
When did he fall so hard that he had no friends?
As for what happened with Sasha, he decided to let it go and accepted that incident as part of his life.
In the end, he wasn't the only one who became a joke. The entire Wibowo family was ridiculed for a long time.
Even at this time, Vivi didn't want to get in touch with him anymore. He had failed in life!
Tonight, Tom returned home alone. He went to the wine cellar and took five bottles with him. He sat in front of the TV and drank them himself.
In his mind, a painful scene from the past flashed again ...
Of course, Tom could not run away from his past. He just wanted to use alcohol to get over it. As a result, he drank so much that he became an addict.
...
After Vivi left, Rachel hid in the dark and saw her friend's car leaving the hospital before rushing to the parking lot.
It wasn't her coworker who had called her before, but Alan.
During this time, the relationship between the two had never been too close.
Rachel couldn't describe this feeling, but she could clearly see Alan's attitude toward her slowly changed.
Lately, Alan often came to the company and called her to participate in work affairs.
Having experienced too many adversities in her life, Rachel had the illusion that she was being appreciated.
