If it had been in the past, Teddy Carter would have been elated to hear Florienna Ellis apologize to him softly.
But now, every time he closes his eyes, the only sounds that replay in his mind are the words he overheard at George Robbins's office door.
Those words were like countless needles, piercing deep into Teddy Carter's heart.
It turned out that all this time, he had simply been deluding himself.
He had been played like a fool, and yet he acted so willingly!
"Teddy?"
After not receiving a response from him, Florienna Ellis couldn't help but call his name.
For some reason, she couldn't shake the feeling that Teddy Carter seemed strange today.
After all, losing one's job unexpectedly would make anyone deeply frustrated!
A slightly hoarse voice slowly came through the phone: "Florienna."
Though it was a name he'd called countless times, now that he said it, Teddy Carter felt a profound sense of unfamiliarity.
