Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 984. The Infinite Time-Space Hotel (24)

Don't get your hopes up, you'll be disappointed!

--yes!
Two months later, they still broke up.

—Damn it, we can't just watch this back-and-forth dragging on for another two months with no progress!
—It's driving me crazy!
—We're all adults, why are you arguing? If you like someone, sleep with them; if you don't, break up. It's that simple.

So, Sister 105 just broke up with me because she didn't like me?
—If Sister 105 is a fire sign, she probably couldn't feel the other person's affection, so they broke up.

—I really can't feel it.

—I think the boss does care a little, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten so angry for no reason.

—But this concern might not meet 105's expectations.

—Listen to me, I've studied astrology for many years. If they are a water sign and a fire sign, and things have come to this point, I'm afraid there won't be a resolution.

—It has nothing to do with zodiac signs, it's more about personality.

It probably has nothing to do with personality; it's because neither of them loves the other enough.

— Or it's because they both love themselves more.

—That's right!
Therefore, the two people pay more attention to their own feelings and experiences.

—But Sister 105 softened her stance and left herself a chance.

—Keep watching, it definitely won't last two months.

Back in their room, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing both let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, how did things get to this point!"

"Neither of them loves each other enough!" Lin Xi said.

“I don’t know if Sister 105 loves her, but the boss definitely doesn’t love her enough,” Zhang Yutong said.

"Is it possible that Sister 105 is acting hot and cold, and the boss is also uncertain?" Zhang Xuesong said.

“If you’re unsure, you can find a way to be sure, instead of being so passive. Come to think of it, it’s because you don’t love him enough. Men who love him enough are very proactive,” Gan Ning interjected.

“Let’s go see Sister 105!” Lin Xi said to Huang Jingjing. “She must be very sad.”

“She said she’s off tomorrow, how can I not be sad!” Huang Jingjing said, then sighed. “They’re both so old, why are they still playing this game of mutual strife!”

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing teleported to dormitory 105.

105 has always lived in room 105 on the basement level.

At this moment, 105 is lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Because she was all alone, the smiles on her face, whether happy or serene, were gone; instead, her brows furrowed and her expression was sorrowful.

He stared at the ceiling for a while before chuckling softly.

A self-deprecating, sarcastic laugh.

—Sister 105 is so sad!

--yes!
But why did she leave?

—They must be disappointed!
—When you've accumulated enough disappointment, you'll leave.

Yes, the man was aloof, hot and cold, and not proactive at all.

——I'm not much better off myself.

—Watching these two struggle is exhausting.

--yes!
—Well, it's better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. It's good to separate now while we have nothing left.

—What do you mean by "you have nothing"?
—Referring to those superficial things: no confession, no holding hands, no kissing, no sleeping together.

—Without these things, can it be considered as having been in a relationship?
—I don't think so!

—I don’t know if it counts, but Sister 105 can’t keep up the act this time.

That's so complicated. I think she should be braver, just push him over and kiss him, regardless of whether he loves her or not, as long as she loves him.

Seeing 105's sad expression, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing teleported to 105's door, exchanged a glance, and nodded.

Lin Xi spoke softly.

"Sis, sis, are you there?"

"Yes, wait a moment."

The voice from 105 came through, still gentle and peaceful, even carrying a hint of joy and happiness. —Sigh!

--well!

Why are you all always sighing?

—Sister 105 is too good at hiding her emotions. Even if she loves someone to death in her heart, she will appear calm and collected on the surface.

Yes, even though she was very sad, she still acted happy and indifferent in front of others.

—Too concerned about saving face!

Is it possible that the way she presents herself is actually a mirror image?

--What's the meaning?
—That's how she perceives others to be towards her.

—You mean that what Sister 105 felt was a push-and-pull dynamic, a hot-and-cold attitude?
—There may also be passive-aggressive behavior.

So how Sister 105 treats her boss is actually how she thinks her boss treats her.
105 opened the door and saw Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing, and greeted them with a smile.

"Come in quickly," said Sister 105. "What brings you all here today? You have time to sit here for a while."

"Sis, we heard you quit your job." Lin Xi asked bluntly as she walked inside. "You were doing such a good job, why did you quit?"

"I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

"Is it because of the boss?" Huang Jingjing asked more directly.

105 paused for a moment, then laughed.

"How do you know?"

—Because we have a God's-eye view!
—Because sometimes your chat history gets posted to the public chat!

—My colleagues knew nothing, but the guests staying here did, and Sister 105 wasn't surprised at all.

"A sixth sense," Lin Xi said. "The atmosphere when you're with the boss is different."

“What’s the difference!” 105 said, bringing Lin Xi a stool. “Wait a moment, I’ll go to another room and get you another stool.”

105 went to get a stool, and Lin Xi carefully observed 105's room.

Actually, I've been here several times already.

The room wasn't big, but it was very tidy and clean, and everything was neatly put away.

Lin Xi and his group even came here when 105 was on duty.

When going to work, 105 makes sure the blankets are laid out very neatly.

Upon entering the house, you'll feel a special sense of warmth.

105 brought back a stool and offered it to Huang Jingjing, feeling a little embarrassed.

“I work longer hours than I rest every day, and there are no fruits or snacks in the house. I’m being neglected.”

Lin Xi knew that when she went to work at 105, she would buy some snacks to share with her colleagues. Of course, everyone would buy some too.

Sometimes, the teachers from the film crew would even feed them.

I finish get off work after dinner, and after washing up, it's time for bed.

"It's alright, sister, don't be so polite," Lin Xi said.

105 sat down on the bed and sighed.

"Once you've accumulated enough disappointment, it's time for you to leave."

"disappointment?"

“Yes, disappointment,” 105 said. “A disappointment that only I know. And I like abrupt separations.”

"A precipitous separation?" Huang Jingjing asked, puzzled.

"It's about parting ways when everyone has a good relationship, so that everyone leaves with a good impression."

—That's a bit contradictory!
--Yes!
—Sister 105 said he was disappointed, but also said that he left when the relationship was going well.

—Disappointment is with the boss, while "good relationship" refers to colleagues!

Actually, it's better to be separated from the boss now than to be together and have more and more demands on each other.

So, after all that back and forth, is 105 leaving?
