Before long, Jeffrey’s deep voice could be heard on the other end of the line. “You are actually angry, correct? That day, I had no idea how to keep my rage under control. I

personally.”
“Where are you now?” As I nodded and got ready to hang up, the other person asked.
“I’ll find you.”
“No, I won’t go back.” I then hung up the phone and banned and erased him from my Snapchat friends and number. To stop. harassment in the future, I banned and deleted Daisie’s and my parents‘ acquaintances.
At one point, Marco expressed his desire to have me return to the United States so that we could discuss an arrangement. He promised to give me a raise if I could close this sale, so I wanted to say yes.
Faced with the temptation of money, I naturally couldn’t resist it. I thought that I would only go for one day and never come back, it would be impossible to meet those people. It would be okay for me to go. So I followed Marco back to the USA, but what I

I didn’t want to waste time talking to him, so I pushed him away and went back the same way.
Jeffrey wanted to catch me up, but was stopped by a phone call. It could be from Daisie.

After the dinner, Marco told me that there was another dinner. The person I was going to meet this time was very important, so he asked me to prepare some expensive gifts. It would be bad if I went empty- handed. So I went to the mall the next day, planning to buy some gifts to attend the
