There was no one at home and Sun Jiamu’s shadow was nowhere to be found.
He could not help but step into her room to check. He found that her closet was open and there were several shopping bags in it.
Did she come by earlier?
He checked the receipts on the shopping bags. The bills were paid yesterday at 5:00 p.m. and the signatures on the receipt belonged to Xinxin.
He calculated the time and guessed that Xinxin must have bought these clothes for Sun Jiamu the previous afternoon.
Jiamu must have returned here last night before heading to the Fang Villa to look for him.
Fang Shaohua felt the urge to head to the Sun home to look for Sun Jiamu.
However, besides an apology, what else could he say to her?
Fang Shaohua felt very lost. He loved Xinxin deeply and never expected this to happen between Jiamu and himself.
His head ached badly. Rationally, he knew that as a man, and needed to take responsibility after stealing a woman’s innocence.
However, he also needed to be responsible for Xinxin!
Even if Xinxin did not want him, he still struggled to let her go.
Fang Shaohua’s heart hurt badly. He felt deeply flustered and helpless.
At the thought of what happened between Jiamu and him last night, the only emotion he did not experience was regret.
He did not regret it.
He thought about it. After attending Xinxin’s wedding and confirming that she did not need him, perhaps, he could take on the responsibility as a man for Jiamu.
He switched the television on and every major news outlet was reporting on the news of Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin’s upcoming wedding.
He closed his eyes in pain. His heart was bleeding.
For the next three days, Fang Shaohua attended work as per normal. Perhaps, this was because he was worried about Sun Jiamu.
To his surprise, the shock and fright he experienced from learning of Xinxin and Bai Qinghao’s wedding had faded significantly.
Fang Shaohua sat in the CEO’s office and frowned deeply. Sun Jiamu had skipped work for three days. As her boss, he would give her a good punishment!
However, he then recalled that he was the reason behind her absence!
An event like this was surely very hurtful for a girl. He immediately lost all thoughts of punishing her.
At this moment, Tian Siyu, the HR Manager, knocked against his door. She then entered the office. “CEO Fang, Sun Jiamu…”
“She’s here?” Fang Shaohua stood up in agitation.
“No.” Tian Siyu handed a letter of resignation to him. “This is the letter of resignation that Secretary Sun Jiamu emailed to our department. Please take a look at it.”
Fang Shaohua opened it and saw that the A4 size paper listed personal matters as the reason for her resignation. Sun Jiamu’s signature was at the bottom of the page.
He clenched his fists tightly as his handsome features turned vicious for a moment.
This damned woman. He had yet to settle the debt between them. How could she possibly run away!
He angrily dialled her number but found that her phone was still shut off.
He then drove to the Sun family’s villa in a fit of anger.
As he approached the neighbourhood, he deliberated over it before purchasing some gifts at the supermarket. He then pressed the Sun family’s villa’s doorbell.
A female helper opened the door. She clearly recognised him. “Mr. Fang, it’s you.”
“Is Sun Jiamu here?”
“My lady isn’t at home. I’m not sure when she will return.”
“Hand this to her for me.” Fang Shaohua left the gifts behind before driving away.
At the very least, she was safe.
Sun Jiamu stood in a room on the third storey of the villa. She watched through the windows as Fang Shaohua drove away.
She smiled bitterly.
So what if he came to look for her?
She did not blacklist him on her WeChat or phone. If he was sincere, he could have messaged her.
