He would continuously be anxious of what individuals might think, like she was a few dark stamp on his soul, a recolor he put but couldn’t evacuate. He didn’t merit her.

“Sir, if you don’t mind, I’d love to take my leave now.” “Yes, you may,” he said, then paused. “But just one more thing. If you ever feel alone or depressed… I’m always here.

he paused and gazed at me. "As for you, your character and personality are nothing to write home about. To make matters worse, you have a lot of terrible vices. I doubt if you have any virtue cos I cannot even think of any. You are lazy, wicked, cruel, arrogant, and ruthless.
