I stared into Annie's eyes, a bit dazed, and before I could speak, she scoffed, "Since you've already quit, squat outside. I don't want tomorrow's news reporting someone died in my company."

Words that cut deep came from her beautiful lips.

I lowered my head and remained silent.

Annie's vision was restored, and her attitude towards me was the same as before her blindness.

Back then, she often said, "You're really annoying, stop following me around like a beggar."

Only now did I realize she never fell for me. It was just that after losing her sight, I was the only one left by her side.

I ignored her but noticed Lucas walking towards us.

Lucas put his arm around Annie's waist, whispering sweetly in her ear, "The reporters are gone, let's go see how the office is set up."

He turned to see me, perhaps feeling awkward about the lie he had just told, his eyes flickering with a hint of guilt.

I didn't care about the lie since Annie didn't call him out.

I looked up at them, smiling warmly, "Your wedding was dreamy, beautiful. I wish you happiness."

The wedding was beautiful, just not the way I would have liked it.

Annie stared straight into my eyes, unresponsive even when Lucas called her name.
