Chapter 10 — One Good Day I Married Someone Else

The news that the branch could not be established was because Trieu Tinh told him while crying.

“A Tham, Ms. Sam Sam… she ruined the project negotiations…”

Dung Tham's hand that was looking at the documents stopped, he raised his head to look at her.

“Negotiations failed?”

“Yes…”

Trieu Tinh sniffled.

"The other party said they would bear the initial investment loss, and... also pay compensation for breach of contract. But... but the branch could not be established..."

Dung Tham was silent. He opened the email sent by Lam Sam. In the attached file was the thick negotiation minutes and final settlement agreement. The other party bears the entire initial investment and also pays a large sum of money for breach of contract. He didn't expect Lam Sam to actually be able to negotiate to this extent. This is the most optimal solution in an ideal situation, promptly cutting losses and even making a small profit. But the truth also proves that Trieu Tinh is extremely short-sighted. She doesn't see the benefit of this option at all. Just knowing that the branch cannot open, they will no longer have a reason to stay in Australia. On the evening of the negotiation ended, Lam Sam arranged to meet him in the hotel's administrative waiting room.

“Sign the final document.”

Dung Tham looked at her, so heartbroken that he could barely breathe. He signed and pushed the document back to her.

“Sam Sam…”

“Can we… talk?”

Lam Sam looked at him and nodded.

“Okay.”

In the waiting room, the music that the two of them liked to listen to the most was playing. Dung Tham looked at her, at her calm face without any ripples, at the deep ocean in her eyes that he could never reach again. Emotions have been pent up for days. Regret, unwillingness, suffering and longing. Like a floodwater bursting a dike, instantly washing away all of his reason. He suddenly reached out and held her hand tightly.

“Sam Sam, can we start again?”

His voice trembled, carrying a choking sound that he didn't even realize.

“I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong.”

"You shouldn't treat Trieu Tinh like that, you shouldn't ignore my feelings, you shouldn't..."

“Sam Sam, I can't be without you.”

"We've been together for seven years. Seven years of love, can you really say let go?"

"Come back, we'll get married. Next month, no, this month! We'll get married immediately!"

He spoke incoherently, almost pleadingly looking at her. His eyes were red, tears lingered in his eyes but stubbornly refused to fall. Lam Sam looked at him quietly, at his out of control appearance, at the pleading in his eyes. Then she gently but firmly withdrew her hand.

“Dung Tham, you know, we no longer have the ability.”

“Every day now I feel very happy.”

“Happiness?”

Dung Tham mumbled and repeated that word.

“Aren't you happy with me?”

“Before, I used to think I was very happy.”

“But now, I'm happier.”

“I can make you happy too!”

Dung Tham quickly interrupted her, as if grasping the last straw to save his life.

"Sam Sam, have you forgotten? I once said that only you can bring me happiness."

Lam Sam raised her head and looked at him with clear eyes.

“I also said that only you can make me vibrate."

“But what about the results?”

“You also have the same feeling about Trieu Tinh, don't you?”

“I don't have it!”

Dung Tham almost instinctively objected.

“You to her… you to her are just…”

“Don't say things that put anyone down anymore, Dung Tham.”

Lam Sam interrupted him, his voice carrying a bit of disappointment.

“That just makes me despise you even more.”

Dung Tham closed his mouth. I know, no matter what I say, it can't be saved anymore.
