How Could You Do This To Me

Feeling extremely confused and anxious, Jin Qingling continued looking at Gen waiting for him to speak, her line of sight never leaving him, Gen turned around to face his back to her as he found it hard to speak while looking in her eyes. What he was about to confess, he was sure would make him lose her forever. 

Taking a deep breath and while fidgeting his fingers, he started. "Jin Qingling, I... I have known you long before you moved to New Orleans."

"So?" Jin Qingling looked confused with no inkling of what was going to be revealed to her. "How does that make any difference?"

"It does." Gen nodded his head slightly. "It does. You will soon understand."

His face was marred with nervousness and anxiety as he continued talking. "I knew you even before you left China. I worked at the same company as you. I saw you there every day."

"How is that possible? I never saw you there!"
