For the sake of my body and mind, what should come is still here.

The president said: "I unilaterally terminated the contract early, and the salary and severance compensation for the remaining months will be counted to you."

The president said everything the stand-in should say, and the stand-in just nodded and said, "Thank you for your help over the past year. I will pack my luggage tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

The CEO's hands trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "That's not what I mean, I want... to fall in love with you."

"Oh, I see." The stand-in suddenly realized, "Do you want to change the nurturing contract into a love contract? Then you really have to sign a new contract."

"No! It's a serious relationship!" the president said, "I like you!"

The president's voice became louder, and people nearby noticed them.The president lowered his voice again, and said in a low voice, very seriously: "I like you, I want to start over with you? Is it possible?"

He waited for the substitute's answer, but the substitute did not hesitate, and quickly replied: "Sorry, we are not suitable."

The president was taken aback.

The substitute said, "I'm not good enough for you."

Compared to the president's astonishment, the stand-in looked very calm.He said: "You are an elite who graduated from a good school. I didn't even graduate from high school. You are a child of a good family, and my parents are gamblers, and they left me a lot of debt. You have your own career, and I'm just a social animal doing low-level work."

"Maybe because I look so similar to Mr. X, so you mistakenly thought your feelings for him were feelings for me."

The president said: "It's for you, it has nothing to do with him. I like you."

"Why do you keep living and going back?" the stand-in said, "He is the one who really suits you. I can't even call him a substitute. At most, he's a low-quality copycat. You can't downgrade your consumption, right?"

The president said nothing.

The substitute said: "I really don't deserve you, you are so good and suitable for the best person."

At the end of that meal, he ate extremely silently, but the stand-in did not regret his resolute refusal.

Because the best puppy loves the best owner and is loved by the best owner.

And he is only a lowly man, and all things that are good have nothing to do with him.

Back home, the president started the conversation again.

"I don't think there is such a thing as being worthy or not in love." The CEO said, "You are progressive and gentle and considerate, which is something that others don't have. I appreciate you very much."

"Are very motivated people still taking the undergraduate exam?" the stand-in said, "You're flattering me too much."

The substitute said again: "And gentle and considerate... You said that a person who often ordered takeaway for you was very gentle and considerate?"

The president said: "You only order takeaway when I am happy. Whenever I am the most tired and annoyed, you must cook by yourself. I don't even know how you found out."

On the busiest day, there must be his favorite dish when he comes home.And on the day when I least want to go to work, it will be my favorite breakfast when I open my eyes that day.Sometimes even he is not aware of his emotions, but the double has.

The stand-in said: "You won't send me messages when you go to work on busy days, you must go to bed late the day before you don't want to go to work, and you will watch the football game when you are in a bad mood... As long as you observe more, anyone can find out."

The president said: "But no one has ever found out."

The stand-in suddenly felt that the president was a little pitiful.

He just said: "There will be better people like you."

The double was about to go back to the room to pack his luggage, but the president called him again, "Do you like me?"

The substitute said: "It's spineless enough to be taken care of by others. How can I be stupid enough to like someone I shouldn't like?"
