Love Ends with Autumn

According to the recruitment requirements stipulated by the company before, I was going to get rid of him, but Miley and Jessica kept him. In just half a year, Ben climbed from an ordinary employee to the position of deputy general manager.

I was busy with business and handed the company over to them completely and I didn't care about these things. But I never expected that he had already found a place in the hearts of the two confidantes. And he was more important than me.

Ben was peeling apples while chatting and laughing with the two women.

When he saw me come in, he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Robinson."

I looked at him deeply and said calmly, "When did you come?"

"Well, I have just arrived. I am here to visit Miss Parker and Miss Griffin on behalf of all the employees of the business department."

"You are thoughtful."

As soon as I finished speaking, Miley said, "Mark, Ben is enough here. You are busy with work, so go back to the company to take charge of the overall situation."

My heart was stabbed and my eyes were slightly red.

Last fall, it was also this hospital and this ward. Food poisoning, Miley, who had just cleaned her stomach, grabbed my hand and didn't want me to leave.

"Mark, I don't want to stay here alone, I'm so scared. Stay with me, okay?"

I held her in my arms gently, "Don't worry, I won't leave. As long as you don't drive me away, I will always be with you."

"Hate you, Mark, how could I bear to drive you away?"

The coquettish words still echoed in my ears, but the person lying on the bed, his heart had already drifted to other places.

Jessica also said lightly, "Mark, we are fine, the doctor said that we can be discharged after a few days of rest."

"The company can't live without you, go back quickly. Ben is very careful and he’s so good at taking care of us."

I nodded stiffly, trying not to let my emotions overflow. Since I had decided to quit, I didn’t want to be a light bulb, let them had more time to get along well.

Before leaving, I put the things I just brought back from the traffic police team on the bedside table.

Jessica asked, "What is this?"

I answered, "I brought back everything in Miley's car."

Miley was stunned at first and then her eyes began to flicker. There was a little guilt, fear and a hint of prayer on her face. She glanced at me secretly and when she found nothing unusual, she was obviously relieved.

I saw everything clearly with the corner of my eye and my heart was stabbed again.

***

A few days later, Miley and Jessica were discharged from the hospital. The company welcomed them, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year. I was the only one packing in the office alone.

I saw that I was almost done, so I opened the software to book a flight. When I was halfway through, Miley and Jessica came in. After not seeing each other for a few days, the two looked good. Obviously, they recovered well under Ben's careful care.

Looking at the empty office, the two were slightly stunned.

"Mark, what's going on? Why are the ornaments and dolls we gave you gone?"

I said casually, "I took them to someone to clean."

Although the two were puzzled, they didn't take it too seriously. After seeing the screen on my phone, Jessica asked, "Why did you book a plane ticket? Are you going on a business trip again?"
