chapter 7 The child is yours

I spent the whole day in a daze, and it wasn't until the dusk sunlight reflected lazily on the transparent glass that I realized it was time to get off work.

The Wesley next to me was still busy. I had some free time and went to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette while waiting for work.

When she came back, Zoey sat on my office chair, apparently waiting for Wesley to get off work.

I teased Zoey: "Zoey, your buttocks are plump again. My chair can hardly fit them in."

"You're dead, you're not doing anything right."Zoey rolled her eyes at me and said.

I raised my eyebrows and smiled at Zoey. In fact, she is a beauty, very sexy, especially her buttocks, which are round and straight. Her legs are slender and her figure is tall. Together, they are a perfect match. If Walking on the street, looking at the back and curves, the most beautiful one is definitely Zoey.

I came to Wesley, patted his shoulder and asked, "Have you made the big framework of the project?"

"The overall idea and framework have been worked out, all that's left is the following text explanation."Wesley responded.

"Then I'll do the rest. You get off work first and don't let Zoey wait for you."

Zoey pressed my face with her hands and said happily: "Maxwell, you are so busy. You don't know how much we have to be busy with later."

"You're getting married. There will definitely be a lot of things to do." I said and took away Zoey's hands that were pressing on my face.

Wesley finally stretched her body, stood up and said to me: "Okay, I have to go to the wedding company with Zoey soon, and there is also a wedding dress shop. If you have any questions, we can communicate by phone at any time."

"Don't worry, go about your business." I said and sat down on the office chair in Wesley.

Wesley quickly packed up her things, and Zoey held his arm. Before leaving, she said to me as if she was remembering something: "Maxwell, our company's building is about to open for sale. If you want to buy it, I will help you get an internal price. One square meter It’s 1,500 yuan cheaper”

Zoey is the sales director of a real estate company in this city. The internal price she can get is definitely attractive. She can save at least 100,000 yuan on a house, but even so, I don't have the ability to buy a house.

"We'll talk about it later." I responded.

Wesley asked Zoey: "Which dish is this time?"

"Zhongyuan Ecological City Phase 2."Zoey replied.

Wesley put down his briefcase and said to me seriously: "Maxwell, buy it. This property is really good. If you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long you will have to wait next time. And the house prices will definitely rise sharply in the future."

"What are you buying? It's not like you don't know my family background."

"Zoey and I still have tens of thousands of dollars in savings. Let's lend it to you first. Then you can go back and let the Father Ban think of a way. It should be no problem to raise the money for the down payment."

"You two still have a mortgage and a car loan to pay, and you're getting married soon. You don't have to spend money on anything. You really don't have to worry about my leisure time."

Zoey added: "It's easy for the two of us to pay off the house loan and the car loan. Maxwell, if you buy the house first, it will be easier for you to find a girlfriend in the future. We really don't want to see you messing around like this. You're in a hurry. You're really in a hurry."

"It's easy for two of you to repay your loan, but have you ever thought about how I'm going to repay the loan after I buy a house? I can't even support myself, so I still have to pay back a shitty loan. Okay, don't hang around here, it's going to be dark soon." Already." I urged Wesley and Zoey to leave.

Zoey and Wesley looked at each other, sighed softly, looked at me again, and then left.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, I saw Zoey holding Wesley's arm walking towards the white Mazda 6 they just bought downstairs in the company, and I felt incomprehensible.

Wesley and Zoey both graduated from Suzhou University. They already have their own house and car in this city, and will soon get married. I don’t understand why there is such a gap between us. Da, is this a joke played by God on me, or am I making a mistake on myself?

While looking out alone, I couldn't help but wonder: If Emily and I hadn't broken up, would it be time to get married?

At 9 o'clock in the evening, I finally finished the project left by Wesley, stretched my body, and walked to the employee break room with a cup in hand. I was going to drink the last cup of coffee before work.

I listened absentmindedly to the sound of coffee liquid falling from the coffee machine into the cup, like a gentle call, so I no longer even had a place to hide my desire.

Taking a sip of coffee and looking at the thick night outside the window and the struggling neon lights, I really want to abandon this tired body.

The phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and looked at it. It turned out to be Maya's phone again.

After answering the phone, Maya said to me in a weak voice: "Maxwell, where are you?"

"Work overtime." I responded with an unclear emotion.

"Can you come and help me wash my clothes? I can't get my hands wet."

"Fuck you, don't you have a washing machine?" I asked angrily in irritation.

Maya said in a tired voice: "Fuck me."

I was a little speechless and said after a while: "My focus is on the washing machine, not on you."

"Some clothes can't be washed in a washing machine."

"Then you take it to the dry cleaning. I've been working all day, and I'm as tired as a grandson. I don't have the energy to go." I firmly refused.

"You can't take underwear and underwear for dry cleaning."

"Are you crazy? Let me wash your underwear and panties."

"Maxwell, I just finished the operation and I really can't touch my hands with water. Can't you take pity on me?"Maya choked.

"I know you graduated from theater, can you please stop acting with me?"

Maya really cried: "I was pregnant with your child, do you treat me like this? Have you ever thought about my feelings? Do you know that I am heartbroken to death?"

"You and I are performing a Qiong Yao play, and you're still asking questions."

Maya burst into tears: "Maxwell, you are a beast. Believe it or not, I will die for you."

I was really helpless by Maya: "Auntie, I'm afraid of you, why don't I just go?"

Maya's tone instantly turned calm: "Come quickly, I'll wait for you."

Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, I suddenly thought: If Maya cannot reach the level of a movie queen, she must be ignorant in the entertainment industry. This acting skill is simply amazing.

People who study acting are really scary, and women who study acting are even scarier.

After leaving the company and standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi, I suddenly remembered that I promised Penelope to move after work. It was almost 9:30 now.

"You're not going to move my things out again," I muttered.

The taxi had stopped beside me, and I thought about it: I had missed my appointment anyway, so I went to wash Maya's clothes first. As for the moving matter, I would talk about it later when I get back.

About 15 minutes later, I arrived at the single apartment where Maya lived, and stood at the door and rang the doorbell frantically to vent my dissatisfaction at being forced to do so.

Maya was wearing pajamas and holding a stuffed doll in her arms. She opened the door to me with a haggard look. Her pitiful look made me swallow all the bad words I had prepared and just complained: " You’re just a one-note mom.”

"If you don't sleep with me, these things won't happen."Maya said, leaning aside and gesturing for me to come in.

I didn't want to argue with Maya, so I walked into the house and asked her, "Where are the clothes?"

"In the laundry basket in the bathroom."

When I came to the bathroom, I was shocked. The two extra-large dirty clothes baskets were filled with clothes. I said angrily: "Did you deliberately save up a year's worth of clothes to abuse me?"

Maya ignored me, but turned up the sound of the TV in the living room louder.

My liver hurt with anger, but I still gritted my teeth and dumped all the clothes in the dirty clothes basket. I put a pile of clothes that could be washed in the washing machine, a pile of clothes that needed to be washed by hand, and another pile of underwear and underwear.

The next time I worked with the washing machine, it took me a full hour to finish washing this pile of clothes.

He took the washed clothes to the balcony and helped her dry them one by one. After finishing everything, he stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette to relieve the fatigue just now.

Maya came to me with a fruit plate and asked softly: "Would you like to eat?"

"No appetite." I said, taking a deep drag on my cigarette.

Maya took out the cigarette from my fingers, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat on my forehead, and said in a very soft tone: "Maxwell, the magazine said that a man is willing to wash a woman's underwear and underwear. , must be a gentle, reliable and good man."

"Get out of here, do you think I'm willing to help you wash it?"

Although I scolded her, Maya still held my arm and leaned against my body and asked, "Have you ever washed other women besides me?"

"No." I replied impatiently.

"Neither Emily,"Maya asked.

"Are you bothered? What kind of question did Luo Liba ask?" I said and pushed Maya away.

Maya has long been accustomed to my attitude. She doesn't get angry or speak, she just looks at me.

I put on my coat and said to her: "I'm leaving. Don't call me again."

Maya held me back: "I don't allow you to leave."

"Get away." I raised my arm and shook off Maya tight hold on my hand.

Maya blocked the door again and said: "Don't leave yet, I have something for you." Then he took out a bank card that seemed to have been prepared for you from his pajamas pocket and handed it to me, saying: "This is for you. , there are ten thousand yuan in the card, I know you spent a lot of money this time."

I was stunned and said: "Where did you get the money?"

"I made some advance payment with the crew."

"Are you aware of your conscience?"

Maya stared at me with sad eyes for a long time: "The child is yours. I said, I just want to see your willingness to be responsible. Of course I will pay you back the money you spent."

The more serious Maya's expression is, the more I feel that she is acting. In my eyes, she is just the kind of woman who likes to indulge in feasting and feasting. The responsibility she talks about is not reliable at all. I am the same in this regard, so I Too understanding.

The reason why she insists that the child is mine may be just an empty sustenance, or maybe even she herself does not know who the child is. This weird sustenance is difficult to explain in words, but living in this corrupt circle Everyone in the world understands that we look cool but our hearts are empty.

In the end, I didn't ask for Maya's card. Although I was short of money, I couldn't say why I didn't want it. Maybe I sympathized with Maya in my heart. I scolded her, but when she needed it, I didn't want it. When the time comes, he will still help her.

No matter how glamorous she looks, I understand the emptiness behind it, because we are the same kind of people. The only difference is: one day she may really become famous in the entertainment industry, while I am destined to live an ordinary and lonely life.

After leaving Maya's residence, I immediately took a taxi and drove to my former residence. I really hoped that Penelope would stop moving my luggage out because I didn't abide by the agreement. I didn't want to work overtime, and I didn't want to be pestered by Maya to wash my clothes. Clothes, but there are so many surprises in life that make me helpless.
