But no matter how much she tried to rationalize it, she feared that in the eyes of others, she might be the one interfering in another person's relationship.
Doesn't that old TV drama have a classic line?
"In a relationship, it is the one who is not loved who is the third wheel."
Although Lin Shu felt that this line was a kind of mental manipulation, others probably didn't see it that way.
No matter how long Lin Shu had been with the Fang Group, she had to put up with being looked down upon until the building was nearly empty, and the security came to usher her out.
All the neon lights on the street were lit, and the surrounding crowd was bustling. Nightlife had just started, but everyone else was in groups, and only she was walking alone by the road, solitary like a bird separated from the flock.
Lin Shu felt rootless, with nowhere to lay her heart. It was as if she was just floating here, with no place to settle down.
