Chapter 379 The Villain Lady Arrives 208
Lillian and Sofia smiled at each other. They saw the determination and relief in each other's eyes. They decided to give Tariq a chance to prove himself. But at the same time, they were also thinking about how to gradually distance themselves from Tariq and keep a certain distance to avoid falling into that dangerous obsession again.
Lillian looked at Tariq and said softly, "Tariq, we know you may have a lot of things to deal with right now. We don't want to disturb you, but we just want to tell you that we will always be by your side to support you. But at the same time, we also hope that you can give us some space and time so that we can gradually adapt to this new relationship."
Sophia also nodded, and she added: "Yes, Tariq. We may have relied on you too much before, which made you feel a little stressed. From now on, we will work hard to learn to be independent and autonomous, and no longer let you worry about us."
Tariq heard this and felt a little suspicious. He was keenly aware that although the two women seemed to be comforting him, their eyes revealed a hint of alienation and vigilance. He frowned and felt a little uneasy. Could it be that they had begun to doubt him?
He tried to keep his expression calm, and then said: "You are right, I do need some time to deal with my own affairs. At the same time, I also hope that you can find your own direction and goals, and don't always rely on others. I believe that you are all capable women and will be able to do well."
Lillian and Sophia smiled upon hearing this. They knew that Tariq had noticed their alienation and vigilance. But they did not show it, and continued to talk to Tariq in a gentle tone.
Lillian said softly, "Tariq, we know you may have a lot of doubts and worries now. But please believe us, we are not betraying you or doubting you. We just want to find a relationship model that is more suitable for us, so that we can both be more comfortable and at ease with each other."
Sophia nodded as well, and she added, "Yes, Tariq. We may have been too obsessed with that blind infatuation before and let ourselves get a little lost. From now on, we want to face this relationship more soberly and rationally."
Hearing this, Tariq felt helpless. He understood that the two women had made the decision to gradually distance themselves from him. Although this made him feel a little lost and frustrated, he also understood that this was their choice and right. He could only respect their decision and try to adjust his mentality and attitude.
He sighed, and then said: "Okay, I respect your choice. If you think this is better, then I won't force you to stay. But I hope you can understand that I am always a trustworthy person. As long as you need me, I will be by your side."
Lillian and Sophia smiled at each other. They saw the relief and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that they had made the right decision. Although it might make them lose something, they believed that it was for the future of themselves and the team.
In the days that followed, Lillian and Sofia began to distance themselves from Tariq. They no longer contacted and communicated with him as frequently as before, but paid more attention to their own lives and growth. They began to learn to think and solve problems independently, and no longer always relied on Tariq or others.
At the same time, Tariq also noticed this change. Although he did not express it directly, he felt a little lost and lonely in his heart. He began to realize that he might have been too confident and arrogant before, and did not really understand and respect the thoughts and feelings of the two women. He began to reflect on his behavior and attitude, and worked hard to make changes.
However, this change did not happen overnight. Tariq needed time to adjust his mentality and attitude, and he also needed to face the pressure and challenges from the team and others. In this process, he gradually understood what a true leader and team spirit are. He began to learn to listen to and respect the opinions and ideas of others, and no longer always act arbitrarily or stubbornly.
As time goes by, Lillian and Sofia's relationship with Tariq gradually becomes plain and natural. They are no longer blindly obsessed with him or dependent on him as before, but face life more independently and autonomously. They begin to enjoy the freedom and comfort brought by this new relationship model, and cherish the friendship and trust between each other more.
One night, Lillian and Sophia sat in a corner of the warehouse, chatting about each other's lives and feelings. They recalled their previous obsession and dependence on Tariq, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Lillian said softly, "You know what? I really thought Tariq was a perfect man before. He was mysterious, deep, and charming, and I couldn't help myself. But now it seems that he is just an ordinary man, even worse than an ordinary man."
Sophia nodded as well, and she added, “Yeah, I felt the same way before. But now we’ve moved on and are no longer under his influence. We’ve become more independent and autonomous.”
Lillian smiled slightly, she looked at Sofia and said: "You know what? I am actually very grateful to Tariq. If he hadn't disappointed and hurt us, we might not have realized our problems and shortcomings. Now we have learned how to protect ourselves and cherish ourselves."
Sophia also smiled and said, "Yes, I thank him too. Although he made us experience some pain and frustration, it also made us stronger and more mature. Now we can face the future with more confidence."
The night was deep and quiet. In the corner of the warehouse, the shadows of Lillian and Sophia swayed in the dim light. Their voices were low and emotional, as if they were telling a long-forgotten past.
Lillian gently stroked the teacup in her hand, with a complex look in her eyes: "Sophia, have you ever thought about when we will leave this place and leave Tariq?"
Sophia was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she lowered her head and drew circles on the table unconsciously with her fingers: "Actually, I have been thinking about this problem. Tariq's mind is now all on Ryan's resentment and his possessiveness of Alice. He has paid less and less attention to us. Maybe now is the best time to leave."
Lillian nodded, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes: "That's right, we can't keep wasting time like this. Although Tariq once brought us a lot of happiness and help, now he is no longer the person we can trust and rely on. We have to plan for ourselves."
Sophia raised her head and looked at Lillian firmly: "So, what are you going to do?"
