On a sunny morning, Evan sat at the dining table when his phone made a notification sound.
He opened his social media and the post in front of him furrowed his brows. Sophia's latest update "Nostalgia for the past" and a photo of the two of them at a place they used to go to, filled with ambiguity and memories of the past.
Evan took a deep breath and set his phone aside.
"Evan, what's wrong?" Michelle asked with concern, noticing his change in expression.
Evan shook his head gently and sighed, "It's Sophia. She posted some things on social media, seems to be hinting at our past."
Michelle leaned in, lightly touching his arm, her eyes showing support, "What are you going to do? Are you planning to respond to her?"
Evan firmly said, "No, I won't give her any response. I don't want her words to affect us. The most important thing is the trust and transparency between us."
Michelle nodded with understanding in her eyes, "You did the right thing, Evan. Ignore her provocations, we'll face this together."
In their conversation, there is a sense of mutual trust and determination. This intentional closeness between the two genders did not harm their relationship; instead, it made their connection even stronger.
As the business of the studio gradually increased, Evan and Michelle began to face more pressure and challenges. On a busy workday, Evan was handling a complex case alone when his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Sophia. He took a deep breath and decided to answer.
"Hi, Sophia, what's up?" Evan's voice was calm and polite.
Sophia's voice was filled with intent: "Evan, I just wanted to know how you've been lately. Can we meet and discuss this case? Maybe at a café nearby?"
Evan firmly replied, "We can discuss work matters in the office. But if it's personal, I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Sophia looked slightly disappointed but still maintained her politeness, "Okay, then let's meet in your office."
After the call ended, Evan immediately sent a message to Michelle, informing her about Sophia's situation. Michelle's response was full of support and understanding.
"You did the right thing, Evan. We'll face these challenges together." Michelle's words were filled with love.
Evan's office was filled with the early spring morning light, with beams of sunlight streaming through the blinds onto his desk. He was browsing through his emails when a delivery person knocked on the door and handed him a package, causing a slight furrow in his brow.
"Good morning, Evan. This is your package," the delivery person said with a smile.
Evan took the package and responded with a smile, "Thank you, and have a pleasant day."
Open the package, a delicate gift and a card come into view. Evan instantly recognizes Sophia's handwriting, and the words on the card imply emotions.
A feeling of discomfort wells up in his heart, and he decides to return the gift. At the same time, he dials Michelle's phone number.
"Michelle, I just received the gift Sophia sent. I feel a bit uncomfortable, I plan to return it," Evan's voice revealed determination.
Michelle's response was full of understanding and support: "I know this is not easy for you, Evan. I support your decision. Returning it is the right thing to do."
A few days later, Sophia appeared in Evan's office as scheduled. She tried to maintain a professional attitude, but Evan could sense the hidden intent in her words.
They discussed the details of the case, and Evan remained professional and calm throughout. At the end of the meeting, Sophia tried to once again get closer to Evan.
"Evan, you know, I've always admired your professional abilities..." Her words carried a clear implication.
Evan nodded slightly, maintaining his composure. "Thank you for your praise, Sophia. But I think we should focus on work matters."
There was a slight change in Sophia's expression, seeming somewhat disappointed. She tried to conceal her emotions and said softly, "Of course, you're right. It's best for us to focus on work."
After the meeting, Evan immediately detailed the situation to Michelle. After listening, Michelle gave Evan a comforting hug and expressed her complete understanding and support.
"I know this isn't easy for you, Evan. But we'll face it together and solve it together," Michelle said gently.
Evan looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you, Michelle. With you here, I feel like everything is manageable."
In the following weeks, Sophia seemed to realize Evan's firm attitude and there were no further ambiguous actions. Evan and Michelle faced this challenge together, making their relationship even stronger.
On a clear morning, as sunlight streamed through the window into Evan's office, he was preparing to send an email to Sophia, informing her that the case was coming to a close and that he would no longer be taking on her cases in the future.
Michelle stood behind him, gently touching his shoulder. "You did a great job, Evan. I'm proud of you."
Evan turned around and smiled, saying, "With your support, everything feels easier for me."
They embraced each other, feeling each other's love and support. Despite the challenges they faced, this experience deepened their trust and love for each other.
A few days later, Evan was busy with a large project in the studio. Michelle was organizing files when she noticed a hint of worry in Evan's eyes.
"What's going on, Evan?" Michelle asked softly, walking over to gently touch his arm.
Evan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Since what happened with Sophia, I've been thinking about our relationship. We've been so strong, but the external challenges just keep coming."
Michelle gently held his hand, her eyes filled with encouragement: "Evan, we have been through so much, and every challenge has made us stronger. Our love is enough to withstand any storm."
Evan looked at her gratefully and said softly, "You are always my source of strength, Michelle. With you by my side, I feel like there is nothing we can't overcome."
Michelle smiled and gently caressed Evan's cheek, saying, "We have been through so much together, and the future will be the same. No matter what, I will always be by your side."
In the evening, Evan and Michelle sat in the living room of their home, with moonlight streaming in through the window, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere.
Suddenly, Evan spoke up: "Michelle, I've been thinking, if it weren't for you, where would I be? You've given me a whole new perspective on life."
Michelle gently responded, "Evan, everyone's life has its ups and downs. But what's important is that we found each other, and that's the greatest happiness in this world."
They embraced each other, feeling each other's warmth. On this quiet night, their hearts were tightly connected, filled with love and hope.
A few days later, when Sophia sent another work project email, Evan decided to reply to her: "Sophia, regarding the work matters, we are happy to provide professional services. However, due to the recent busy schedule with studio projects, we may not be able to take on more collaborations in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support."
The response maintained professionalism while tactfully expressing their unwillingness to continue working together. Michelle stood next to Evan, watching his response, and gently placed her hand on his shoulder, giving him an affirming look.
"You did a great job, Evan. We always need to maintain the boundaries between our professional and personal lives," Michelle's voice was filled with trust and support.
Evan turned around and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you, Michelle. With you here, I feel stronger. We will face all the challenges together, whether in work or in our personal lives."
Their eyes met, and the trust and support between them made them even more determined. They knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered, as long as they walked hand in hand, they could overcome them together.
With the conclusion of this case, Sophia's frequent contact also decreased. Evan and Michelle's relationship became more stable during this period of testing.
