I shook my head: "How am I supposed to know how long your promotion's gonna last?"
"I told you to not..."
There was a knock on the door, interrupting him.
Bob said come in. A young policeman opened the door and said to me: "Officer Shears, Commissioner Glover is looking for you."
I was stunned, how could Zack suddenly want to see me?
"Why?"
I looked at Bob for an answer. He shook his head and took a sip of the tea he just made. Then he said, "You'll know when you get there."
Even though I was puzzled, I went over to Zack's office anyway.
My department was on the first floor, and the crime squad was on the third floor.
Zack's office was also on the third floor.
I got out of the elevator with a sense of anxiety, and reached his door and knocked, and a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."
Opening the door and going in, Zack raised his head slightly. He stretched out his hand to close a document and said in an indifferent tone: "Please sit down."
There was a flash of emotions in his eyes.
It contained both doubt and surprise.
How could I see this look on his face?
I resisted the cranky thinking in my mind and sat opposite him.
Zack crossed his hands on the desk, his piercing and indifferent eyes looked at me for a long time, as if to explore something.
I felt a slight discomfort.
But I didn't dare to interrupt him.
I had always felt timid of this newly appointed commissioner who had always been the legend.
For fear of stepping on his tail somehow.
His eyes looked at me, making me feel inexplicably familiar.
After a long while, he asked aloud, "Why do you want to come back to work at the police station?"
I lowered my head and said frankly: "I have encountered some changes, returning to the police station was the best choice, and I like this job very much."
Zack suddenly got up, took a paper cup, took a cup of hot water, turned and handed it to me. I felt flattered and held it in my hand, and heard his indifferent voice asking: "You remember Bob, right?"
I was stunned, why did he suddenly ask?
I've always remembered Bob.
I was puzzled but still explained: "Bob went to the police station for an internship with me. That's how I knew him.
"Yeah, I get that." Zack was silent, looking at my eyes, and then said: "You remember Bob, remember that you used to work in the police station, only..."
Only what?
What did Zack want to say?
"Emma, you remember everyone, but you forgot me."
I was shocked, and subconsciously squeezed the corner of my clothes. What did Zack mean? When did I meet him?
Hadn't he always been a mystery in the police academy?
Zack said: "Emma, we used to be together."
I was shocked, I got up in a panic and took a few steps back, looking at him in shock: "Mr. Glover, we have never seen each other before."
What was he talking about?
Zack stretched out a big palm, held down my shoulder, and said, "You forgot something, a thing that I was involved in."
Something flashed past.
But after all, I couldn't catch it.
I looked at him in a panic, Zack stood up, the short hair slightly covered his forehead, he suddenly reached out and hugged me into his arms, his voice softened: "I know you don't remember anything, I know you forgot all about it. But I can’t help but miss you."
"Mr. Glover!"
I quickly pushed away from him, shook my head, and said, "I know you as Zack Glover, and that's it! I have no impression other than that."
Zack was an extremely indifferent person. Bob said that he never interacted with people too much.
In other words, he was a lone wolf.
His charm was different from Benjamin.
Benjamin was indifferent but enthusiastic, but Zack was a lotus on the top of a snowy peak, calm and self-restraint, lonely and selfadmired.
But such a man said he knew me.
He said that I had been with him.
He said I had forgotten some things, things that involved him.
Some things gradually broke in my heart. I looked at him in horror and explained: "My memory is intact."
My memory of twenty-five years was clear and has never been lost!
Zack's eyes darkened, he reached out and rubbed my head, and said softly, "Emma, I like you."
There was a familiar feeling that filled my body and mind.
My tears shed somehow.
Something had been forgotten.
After forgetting, Steve and I got married.
After forgetting, I married Benjamin.
At the moment, my heart was very empty.
So empty that it needed to be fixed and filled.
"The things you forgot, I will tell you slowly, and the love you forgot, I will slowly help you find it."
I suddenly turned around and ran out, crying
"Where can I go? Right f*cking here." September stretched out her hands, very helpless. She nestled on the seat and looked out the window and said: "The weather in this city is really cold recently, and the snow just won't stop. I want to leave."
I paused and asked, "For where?"
"I won't leave. I'm gonna be right here, the city Joel is in." September smiled and said, "I will tell you something. When I was traveling in Europe, I met a handsome Austrian guy who was very tall and sexy. And he said he would come to me."
"Come to you? Are you planning to have an international relationship?" I resisted the impetuousness in my heart and said: "I want to ask you something too."
September asked curiously: "What is it?"
I pursed my lips and hesitated for a long time, but still asked, "When I was in the police station six years ago, did I know Zack?"
"Zack?"
September glanced at me suspiciously, shook her head, and said, "Although Zack was attached to the police station six years ago, he had always been undercover. He didn't even have a chance to return to the police station. How would you know him?"
I was anxious, "September, the police station and the procuratorate have been working together. You know everything about the police station. I want to ask a question. Maybe I know Zack but I forgot him?"
"Know him?" September was silent for a long time, then looked at me with bright eyes and said: "You were sent to the Glestin Police Station to work for three months, but you disappeared for a year. After reappearing, you had a boyfriend and were determined to leave the police station."
My boyfriend at that time was Steve.
But I had no memories of being transferred to the Glestin Police Station.
Or the fact that I disappeared for a whole year.
I had no idea what Septmber was talking about.
And in my memory, I had been in this city from the age of 20 to 21!
What went wrong?
September asked in confusion: "What happened?"
I said, "September, I'm a mess."
When I drove September home, Benjamin called me and asked me to go home to pick him up.
I am puzzled and asked: "For what?"
Benjamin frankly: "Sean's got some people playing poker together, he wanted me to take you along."
Sean wanted me to take September along is what he wanted to say.
"September, Sean asked us to play poke, do you wanna go with us?"
"Nope." September shook her head and said with a smile: "I had been drunk for the past two days and my head is still dizzy. I will go home to sleep!"
I nodded and raised my eyes to see Joel.
And the beautiful women next him.
She was not as beautiful as September, not as elegant as September, and not as bright as September.
In my eyes, she was in no way better than September.
But she was very similar to September.
Joel introduced that her name was Rose.
She was September's sister.
