Chapter 378 The Villain Lady Arrives 207
Sophia felt a little uneasy when she heard this. She thought of her previous fantasies and expectations about Tariq and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous: "Me too, at that time I felt that he seemed to have magic that made me unable to extricate myself. But now it seems that he is just an ordinary man, even worse than an ordinary person."
The two smiled at each other, and both felt relieved and relieved. They decided to stay away from Tariq from now on and not let themselves fall into that inexplicable obsession.
At this moment, Tariq suddenly stood up, interrupting their thoughts. He walked to the fire, looked at Alice and Ryan coldly, and then said, "I'm going to go out for a while and get some fresh air."
Hearing this, Alice looked up at Tariq, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Where are you going? It's very dangerous outside now."
Tariq snorted coldly, without answering, and turned to walk towards the warehouse door. His back looked particularly cold and aloof in the firelight, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
Alice shook her head helplessly, and she looked at Ryan, hoping he could say something. However, Ryan just stared at the direction where Tariq left silently, with no expression on his face.
Lillian and Sofia looked at Tariq's back, and both of them had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. They felt that this man seemed to be gradually moving away from their world, becoming more and more strange and unpredictable.
Just as Tariq was about to walk out of the warehouse door, Lillian suddenly shouted, "Tariq, be careful!"
Tariq stopped and looked back at Lillian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that someone would care about his safety at this time.
However, this surprise was short-lived. Soon, his face returned to that cold and distant expression. He said lightly, "Thank you." Then, he left the warehouse without looking back.
Lillian watched Tariq disappear into the darkness, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart. She knew that her obsession with this man was completely over. She turned to look at Sofia, and found that her eyes were also full of relief and determination.
The two smiled at each other and then returned to their respective corners silently. They decided that from now on, they would cherish their lives more and no longer let those illusory feelings bother them.
Meanwhile, Tariq had walked out of the warehouse. He stood in the night and took a deep breath. He felt that he needed some time to calm down and think. In this dangerous world, he must find a way to protect himself and the people around him.
However, the resentment and unwillingness in his heart grew like weeds. He recalled every battle with Ryan and lost every time. This made him feel extremely humiliated and angry. He knew that he had to find a way to surpass Ryan and become the leader of this team.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. He quickly turned around and looked around vigilantly. However, he did not find anything unusual. He frowned, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart. Was he too nervous?
He shook his head, trying to calm himself down. Then he continued to move forward. He had to find a safe place to think about his plan.
However, just as he was about to leave the area, he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Tariq, what are you doing here?"
Tariq turned his head suddenly and saw Lillian and Sophia standing not far away, with puzzled and worried expressions on their faces. He frowned and felt a little unhappy. He didn't expect that these two women would follow him here.
He said coldly: "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the warehouse?"
Lillian looked at Tariq's cold expression and felt disappointed. She knew that her feelings for this man were over. She mustered up her courage and said, "We followed you because we were worried about your safety. Tariq, can you please stop being so cold? We are all a team and should care about and support each other."
Sophia nodded as well, and she added, "Yes, Tariq. We may have had some misunderstandings about you before, but now we understand. You are a capable man, but we also need your care and concern. Please don't turn us away anymore."
Hearing this, Tariq couldn't help but feel touched. He didn't expect that these two women would stand up and say these words to him at this time. He looked at their sincere eyes, and the resentment and unwillingness in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate.
He sighed and said, "I know I didn't do well enough before. I'm really sorry for making you worry. But please believe me, I will work hard to change myself. I will become a better leader and lead everyone to face future challenges together."
Lillian and Sofia smiled with relief when they heard this. They knew that Tariq's words showed that he was trying to change himself. They decided to give him a chance to prove himself.
Tariq's words were like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the haze in Lillian and Sofia's hearts. They looked at his determined eyes, as if they saw his inner transformation and determination. Lillian smiled slightly, and she decided to give Tariq another chance, but at the same time she secretly made up her mind to stay vigilant and not let herself fall into that kind of blind infatuation.
She said softly, "Tariq, we are really happy to hear you say this. We know that you have always been a capable person, but sometimes you may need some time to find your own direction. We are willing to wait for you and face the challenges of the future with you."
Sophia also nodded, and she added: "Yes, Tariq. We may have had some misunderstandings about you before, but now we understand. You are a trustworthy person, and we will support you as long as you are willing."
Hearing this, Tariq felt a surge of gratitude in his heart. He did not expect that these two women would give him such firm trust and support at this time. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, thank you so much. I know that I didn't do well enough before and let you down. But please believe me, I will work hard to change myself. I will become a better person and a better leader."
