Our Situations Are Different
Seeing this, George was even more frustrated. “What? You don‘t believe me?”
Jordy pursed and shrugged, “Just wait until you get that thing back.”
George sank into silence.
The elevator door opened quickly. George continued, crossed, “I just couldn‘t get that thing back from
her right away. And that‘s because I have my principles. Or otherwise, how could she take it for so
long? I wouldn‘t have given her this chance.”
The two men walked out together, but Jordy did not speak. He thought George was only in his own
illusion about himself, talking as if he was drunk.
The two men soon arrived at the bar. George didn‘t talk to Jordy any more. He just drank a glass of
liquor silently. After a while, he looked at Jordy and said, “I just questioned her. Tell me, is Nydia a
woman without a heart? She didn‘t know that I was waiting for her for dinner and went out to eat with
Gloria instead. I am the one who helps take her here. Shouldn‘t she know better how to please me?”
Jordy‘s face was distorted with disappointment.
He thought of how Gloria also went out to dinner with Nydia without telling himn in advance. He was
still in his sulkiness.
“She just doesn‘t know clearly about herself, does she? Does she think I‘m trying to flatter her? People
all say have mercy so that you won‘t be retaliated in the future. But doesn‘t she consider that if she
continues to treat me this way, I might retaliate against her after I retrieve the thing that should belong
to me?”
“Well.” Jordy looked at him calmly, “Do you think you can be tough enough to do so?”
“Of course!” George seemed to be irritated by this question. “This woman is a tomboy, and has no
charm in her. Of course, I could be tough on her.”
Jordy did not continue, but he just poured the liquor down his throat.
The fact that Nydia doesn‘t wait for George for dinner is telling that she never treats him like a friend.
She certainly wouldn‘t have any romantic imagination of him. Therefore, it is quite normal for Nydia to
do so... But what about Gloria then?
Jordy looked quite aloof and inaccessible. Even George felt that the temperature around him seemed
to drop rapidly. He immediately looked at Jordy, and noticed that he was in a completely bad mood.
Seeing this, George asked incredulously, “What‘s wrong with you?”
Jordy didn‘t speak, his lips pressed tightly together.
But then as if suddenly thinking up of something, George‘s bad mood seemed to be swept away by a
funny thought. The next moment, he looked at Jordy with extreme interest. “Is it because Gloria did not
wait for you for dinner either, and you were very upset about it?”
Jordy frowned and answered directly, “No.”
“Oh, then it must be so. That‘s funny… I‘m not alone now.” Although Jordy was tight about his inner
thoughts, George could still guess what he was thinking about since he, Jordy and Carlos had been
close pals, who grew up together. They could understand each other‘s thoughts very well. Even if Jordy
kept denying this, George could still see that Jordy was in fact upset about it.
For a moment, George thought it was fair. Such a situation didn‘t just happen to him.
Jordy looked at him fiercely, “Our situations are different.”
“Different? How different?”
“Nydia really doesn‘t like you at all.” Jordy burst it out directly.
Hearing this, George‘s face turned ugly for a moment. Then, biting his lips, he said, “Damn! I don‘t care
if she likes me or not. It has nothing to do with me! I wish she doesn‘t like me. If she does, how can I
flirt with other women with her standing in my way?”
But George could feel that he was throwing a tantrum again. He looked at Jordy with grudge, “You said
our situations were different. But do you think Gloria likes you?“
