NovelStartChapter 76 I stammered for a while, not knowing how I should respond. Zion rolled his eyes atand quickly stepped in. "Hudson is currently staying in the employee dormitory. Our company has a policy that doesn't allow non- employees to enter the dormitories. So, he can't take you there." Hearing this, I quickly nodded in agreement.
Sylvia looked atskeptically, pullingcloser.
She glanced at Zion and whispered to me, "Do companies in Adenville have such a strict rule? Why don't I know about this? Hudson, which company are you working for?" I wasn't sure how Zion managed to cover forat the company, but from Sylvia's expression, it seemed she wasn't fully aware of the truth.
With no other option, I had to go with the lie.

"Well, if that's the case, we should head back. Hudson, there's still a lot of work waiting for us at the company." Zion looked atwith a forced smile. I could tell he was at the end of his tether.
Although Sylvia seemed annoyed by Zion's words, she had no choice but to letleave.
As we walked out and took the elevator down, Zion started to vent. "Hudson, your girlfriend is really annoying. She keeps asking questions. It's irritating." I had nothing to argue against Zion.
Sylvia did show a lot of concern forand talked quite a bit, but I couldn't blher for that. She was my girlfriend. She cared forbecause she liked me.
Besides, if Sylvia were indifferent toward me, I might even start questioning whether our relationship could continue-whether she truly loved me.
Seeing that I remained silent, Zion becannoyed and tried to teasewith an old joke.
"How about this, you break up with your girlfriend, and I'll introduce you to other beautiful women. I guarantee they won't be worse than this one." I didn't understand why Zion kept trying to convinceto get a new girlfriend. If he really knew so many women, why not find one for himself instead of hoping for Selena to return his unrequited feelings for her? "Zion, I've told you before. If you keep saying things like this, then don't blme for being ruthless." I turned to look at him with a smile.
"Am I not allowed to joke now? You're so petty." Zion ignoredand continued walking ahead.

Sometimes, I found myself wondering if I had changed because I spent twith people like Selena on with and Zion. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was somehow different from who I used to be. Who was it that changed me? Still deep in thought about this difficult question, I heard Zion shout back at me.
"Oh, by the way, Hudson, there's something I've been wanting to tell you. Why does it seem like your girlfriend doesn't love you as much as she should?" "What does that have to do with you?" I responded coldly.
The first person we encountered on the way back to the office was Andy, e who was carrying a pile of files. Seeing me, Andy cover to greet me, then leaned in to look at my nbadge.
"So, your nis Hudson. It's a nice name. It goes really well with Selena's."
