Domineering Love

Several close colleagues consoled her, but people come and go, gatherings always end, and this was inevitable.

Sister Lee, a tall woman, walked up to Cherish Turner and held the box with one hand. Kindly, she said, "I’m heading out anyway, let’s go together."

Sister Lee escorted Cherish out of the building, and then advised, "Don’t take the bus. It’s inconvenient with the box."

As they walked towards the taxi stand together, Sister Lee glanced at Cherish, "Cherish, did you go to the hospital today?"

Cherish pressed her red lips together, remaining silent.

Seeing her like this, Sister Lee tried to persuade her earnestly, "Does your boyfriend know? Does he want the child? You don’t have a job now, what will you do in the future? Do your parents agree? If you want to keep the baby, you should get married first, that way there is some security! Otherwise, once the child is born, you’ll be an unwed mother, and your reputation won’t be great! Plus, it’s really tiring! I’ve been through it, so don’t mind me being nosy!"

Sister Lee’s words were sound advice, but Cherish remained lost.

Returning home, Elijah Butler saw her holding the box and guessed that she might have resigned. "It’s better not to work there anymore. I’ve thought about it; managing the online store is better than staying in that company!"

She had already confronted William Griffith today. If he remained indifferent, then there was no point in looking back. She tidied up her things and made a cup of honey water for Cherish. "Drink something warm, warm up your body, and remember to wear more clothes; you always wear so little."

Cherish held the cup of water, feeling considerably warmer.
