Even though Leonard and I did not have a good relationship in front of outsiders, when it came to this kind of thing, everyone thought he would hand the cake to me.
But to everyone's surprise, he naturally handed the cake to Yasmin.
"Go ahead and eat, your favorite strawberry cake."
I could feel the strange looks from people around me.
I had no choice but to endure it, then grabbed my bag and left.
"Sorry, I have to excuse myself."
Leonard did not try to persuade me.
But until I reached the door of the private room, Leonard's phone rang.
After the call was connected, he seemed to hear some news.
Immediately, he turned his head stiffly and looked at me.
His voice was trembled. "Is it true that you're going to the Syrena to participate in the implementation of the space program as said on the phone?"
Suddenly, I remembered the years when I loved Leonard most. I remembered his phone number, ID number and even the lock screen password. I knew his parents' birthdays by heart.
So, when I signed the contract to confirm my participation in the space program, I filled in Leonard's name out of inertia.
The phone call now was a reminder of the upcoming departure tomorrow.
