I CAN T SAY I DO WITHOUT YOU

The winter in France is very cold, with heavy snow falling outside. Naice Williams is wrapped up in a white fur coat, her blonde hair shimmering with white snowflakes, making her look like a teddy bear wandering in the sky.

The weather is freezing, and Naice's rosy cheeks and hands are gradually getting stiff and red. She clasps her hands together and blows warm air into them. Naice walks straight ahead, glancing at the colorful signs above.

Finally, she arrives, and a satisfied smile appears on Naice's face as she pushes open the warm glass door, feeling the warmth enveloping her body, bringing her a sense of excitement and comfort.

"Naice, we're here!"

Kaite stands up and waves her hand. Inside the crowded bar, Kaite is petite, her white slender hands waving in the air, painted nails shining in red.

Naice hurries over, taking off her scarf, and smiles.

"Long time no see, are you all doing well?"

The group consists of four people, all with American nationality, but three of them work in France. Only Naice came to France because she was nominated by a large company to discuss and sign a cooperation contract.

Naice has a beautiful smile, and there's even a dimple on her cheek when she smiles, making her look lovable and charming.

Ali pulls Naice's hand, "Sit down, have a drink to warm up, it's very cold outside."

Naice smiles, "Slow down! Don't you have a girlfriend here? Where is she?"

Ali rolls his eyes, "Why should we invite her to our gathering?"

Erica sitting next to Ali joins in, "He's so careful with his girlfriend. We haven't even met her in person yet."

Ali can only smile at that. On his social media page, there's only a picture of a girl taken from behind, her curly hair and well-proportioned figure leaning against the railing with the city lights shining brightly in front of her. The photo is very beautiful.

Kaite looks at Ali with a hint of melancholy and pretends to be in a sad mood, "Well, she's taken, and you guys are still single! Don't you feel pitiful?"

Kaite tries to cheer up, raising her glass high, "Come on! Cheers to the day we can meet again. Bottoms up!"

All four raise their glasses and drink, enjoying a cheerful conversation about life, work, and the past.

As the wine runs out, they gradually refill the empty bottles. Erica starts to speak nonsense, accusing the heartless boss of oppressing his subordinates to the point of despair. She wants to go back to the US and keeps saying she'll go back with Naice.

Naice presses her lips together, "You've worked so hard to be promoted to director, something many people dream of. If you give up halfway, you'll lose everything. Don't act impulsively; you should think carefully."
