Us in the Moments We Gathered

A coworker she was close to secretly asked what had happened between her and the boss.

Lu Jia told her the truth, more or less, to satisfy her curiosity. “My dad once broke him and his girlfriend up.”

And, “I wrote him a love letter and tried to win him over.”

Her coworker was practically bursting with excitement. “So what happened?”

“I didn’t win him over.”

Some busybody also asked him what his relationship with her was.

He never wanted to say much.

As for why, well, he really didn’t want to have anything more to do with that woman who had a string of men on the go and gave up halfway.

Is every unfinished romance searching for an excuse? The truth is, it’s simple:

Just give me one reason, and I’ll spend my whole life with you.
