When I was twenty-five, I kept an intern, Samuel Lambert, as my lover. I told him that as long as he stayed with me, I'd make sure he got through his internship smoothly and help him pay off his parents' gambling debts. So, this handsome boy had no choice but to be with me for three years. Later, after the Jennings Group collapsed, someone shattered my legs. From afar, I watched Samuel gazing at Kathryn Moore, his true love, his eyes brimming with tears. Then I disappeared without a word, and he never tried to find me. Many years later, while I was working at a street food stall in the middle of the city, Samuel had already become the CEO of a public company, showing off his romance with the one he always loved. He looked at me with cold indifference. I laughed at myself, "Do you think I'm just a joke?" But tears streamed down his face. "You've always been a joke to me."
