Steve Burton’s words at the tip of his tongue, were brutally choked back in his throat.
He stared at the tightly closed door in front of him, the chaos in his heart was instantly submerged by an unspeakable melancholy.
A woman who remembers all your likes and dislikes, whose life’s goal is to become your wife, seeing you disheveled with another woman, her first reaction wasn’t anger, sadness, or breakdown, but rather speaking calmly and apologetically, “I’m sorry, continue,” and then considerately closing the door for you.

Steve Burton reached out, shook hands with Ms. Annie, said “I’m sorry”, and then they separated.
The words Ms. Annie said didn’t seem to care at all, but her tone was heavy with loss, “That’s okay, I have the right to like you, and you have the right to reject me.”
Not two minutes after Ruby Gregory closed the door, the door to the room was opened again. She quickly turned her head and saw Ms. Annie, neatly dressed and elegantly standing out, walking out of the room.
Ruby Gregory hurriedly started to apologize again, “Ms. Annie, I’m really sorry about earlier.”
Ms. Annie gave Ruby a barely friendly nod, her tone slightly stiff, “It’s okay..”
