Babel Novel
Chapter 26
"To demonstrate our company's philanthropic philosophy, I hope you will participate in the entire construction process of these 50 schools from start to finish," Sebastian said.
James hurriedly followed behind Sebastian into the CEO's office, where Sebastian reached out his hand, causing James to hesitate for a moment before pulling out a white smartphone from his pocket. Sebastian took it over; it had already been unlocked, so he went straight into its photo album.
There were many pictures in the album, mostly landscapes, with only a few photos of people, including one picture of a man and woman together.
The handsome foreign man hugged Vivienne around her neck while their heads touched each other intimately as they smiled happily towards the camera.
Suddenly Sebastian threw something at James, who instinctively caught it, saying: "Smash it."
James nodded immediately: "Yes."
As soon as James left with the phone, Megan asked anxiously: "How did it go?"
Vivienne collapsed onto the sofa when she got back to her rented house and said: "I failed..."
She stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, lost in thought.
Megan wanted to blame Vivienne, but seeing her like this, she softened and scolded: "Men are not good things. In the future, we can only rely on ourselves and cannot have any illusions about them." Vivienne agreed: "You're right..."
No one can be trusted except for oneself. She realized how ridiculous it was for her to think that Sebastian would help her just because they slept together three years ago. Why would he help her? Did he lack women? Who was she in his eyes? Just a slutty woman.Megan said, "I have a friend whom I've known for years. She's also shooting a film recently, which has low costs and will be distributed through online channels instead of mainstream media. We don't have many options now, but I'll take you to meet her later."
Vivienne nodded tiredly, and Megan patted her shoulder, saying, "Rest well...I'm leaving now."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
As Megan got up to open the door, she heard Vivienne whisper behind her: "Megan, it really doesn't feel good when someone tramples on your self-esteem..."
