But no matter how much my qualifications grow, I still cant catch your eye, right? he asked.
In an instant, it seemed that something had been stuffed into
Graces mouth.
Chase Harper gave a self-deprecating laugh immediately
after. Actually, before you said those things, I had already
thought of changing my job. After all, working in the Sanitation Service Center, you can predict the rest of your life with just one look. I want to take the chance while Im still not yet 30 to give myself more of a challenge.
A challenge? If the Grace from before had been given a choice of an unknown life full of challenges or a steady one that could be fully predicted with just one glance, she was afraid she would have chosen the former.
Only after experiencing so many things did she know that stability was actually the most important.
Grace took a deep breath and said, Actually, what I said to you that day, you really dont have to mind it too much. I only didnt want you to spend more time on me. I dont have those kinds of feelings for you at all, so theres no way I can be with
you.
She paused, then enunciated every single word clearly, If I truly love you, then even if you are at rock-bottom, I will still
choose to be with you. But since I dont, even if you soar above
the ranks, I still wont be with you.
Despair flashed across Chase Harpers face before he smiled. Is that so? When you put it that way, its really as I thought I didnt peg you wrong. I knew it. How can the person I like be
so materialistic?
Then are you still quitting? Grace did not want him to lose his stable job because of her.
Going out into the world to try and make my mark is a wish I always had, Chase Harper said earnestly. His expression had no anger whatsoever. No matter whether or not I can succeed in the future, at least I wont have any regrets in this life, right?
Seeing Chase Harpers determined expression, Grace knew there would not be any use talking to him anymore, so she said, In that case I wish you success.
Thank you! he said.
When Grace was about to leave, Chase Harper said, Grace, youre a good woman. Its my misfortune that I cant make you
like me. I dont need any of your guilt either. My resignation
has nothing to do with you. Its just my hope that I can provide a better life for the person I love in the future.
After leaving Chase Harper, Grace felt like her heart was blocked. It was like an unspeakable uneasiness.
Two days later, Chase Harper left the Sanitation Service Center. The Sanitation Service Center even organized a da farewell party with everyone for Chase Harper. They had a meal out.
Grace joined the meal too. After that, Chase Harper even paid from his own pocket and invited everyone to a karaoke session.
When they parted ways, Chase Harper said, Grace, can you let me send you back this once? From now on, I wont have any chance to do so anymore.
Grace agreed. This time, she did not refuse.
Chase Harpers car was at the gates of the neighborhood. Grace got down and said to Chase Harper, See you.
Chase Harper hesitated a while before saying, See you.
