The manager took me and Carl back to the staff lounge. "Since it's about love, please resolve it yourselves."
Carrie was tactful and didn't come with us.
My face was still burning hot. It might be vulgar to be pushed to the wall, but it made my heart hammer.
Carl's face was completely red too. It was obvious that he had not recovered from his shock yet.
"Well, I was too harsh before. In fact, I didn't think of you like that." As the older one between the two, I apologized first.
But he still didn't appreciate it. He shook his head and said, "No, you were right."
Was he being sarcastic to me?
He didn't accept my way of making peace with him, and wouldn't even accept my apology?
I lost my temper. "Carl, you've gone too far!"
Carl looked at me deeply. "But Helena, I want to go further."
I was speechless.
It was obvious that he didn't want to reconcile.
