The girl was serving food. "Do you want some, Miss Hart?"
“No, thank you.” She refused, still sitting on the sofa as an awful feeling spread and flooded inside her. The change of roles happened so quickly. It was still recently that she was in that reverse position.
The two were having dinner, and no one talked. Summer thought it could be because she was here that the two of them did not talk.
Half an hour later, the two finished their dinner, and the girl cleaned up, leaving Mark and Summer in the living room. Mark sat down, crossing his long legs gracefully, and looked at Summer. “What do you want t o talk to me about?”
"Can we still be together?" she asked slowly, breathing carefully.
Mark was stunned for a moment, the look in his eyes deepening as emotional ripples formed. But it was just for a fleeting moment before it all returned to normal." What do you mean, Miss Hart?"
She had made her meaning plain enough and would not believe that he did not know what she meant. "I literally meant what I just said."
The corners of his lips curled up in a smile, but it lacked warmth. "What do you think, Miss Hart?”
She did not get it, was not sure, and had no clue what was on his mind. "Can we still be together?" she asked again.
"What do you mean by asking this, Miss Hart?" He was puzzled and did not answer her question.
Summer’s palms were slightly sweaty, but she was determined. "I want to be with you."
His expression had always been distant, as if he had never known her. "Am I your pug that I am at your beck and call?" he said in a mocking voice.
The next morning
The girl followed Mark and found that his mood had suddenly changed since last night.
Walking out of the apartment, Summer was already waiting outside the apartment. She rubbed her frozen hands when she saw the two emerge.
"What are you doing here, Miss Hart?” Mark squinted a t her and asked in an indifferent voice.
"I will send you back to the office." She kicked her legs on the ground as her legs stiffened and felt numb for standing for too long.
"Mark and I are going to the college, Miss Hart," the girl said. "Mark has helped me find a university. We are heading there today."
