"This is my company." Benjamin said tonelessly. The implication of his words was, "I'm in charge here. I can go wherever I want. Of course, if I want to stay here, I will stay here!" James nodded and said, "Well, I know. I didn't say I'm in charge here, did I?" Benjamin pondered for a while and then walked towards James and stood in front of him. James raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" "What are you going to tell me?" "Pardon?" Benjamin pursed his thin lips and didn't say anything. James shrugged casually and said, "Why do you look at me? Didn't you say that you have a meeting? Why haven't you gone? If you have anything to say, just say it. We are good brothers. If you ask, I will definitely tell you what I know, right? I am very righteous." "... " "Look! Look!" James curled his lips. "You are really not adorable sometimes." He put on a relaxed smile, "Look at you. It seems that you have something to say or ask me."
James sighed, "Well!" Then he couldn't help but shake his head. "Ben, look at you. How hard it is for you! You are not young anymore. It's not easy for you to fall in love with a someone. But it seems your efforts were in vain." "If you continue to talk nonsense, I don't think it's necessary for us to keep talking." "Look at you, are you in a hurry now?" James snorted and said, "I guess you will cry once you know Evelyn is in love." Upon hearing this, Benjamin narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?" James had already got what he wanted, so he didn't keep him in suspense. "She came yesterday because of it. But I heard from my wife that it seems to be true." Benjamin's face suddenly darkened. "Well, don't be too pessimistic and desperate. I think she has made up her mind but hasn't started dating." Hearing it, Benjamin's facial expression relaxed a lot in an instant. "Girls...Well, I should say women are sometimes indecisive. However, their inde
"Hello, what would you like to drink?" The waiter served a glass of warm water and asked politely. Evelyn sat at the seat and said with an embarrassed smile, "Well... I'm sorry, my friend hasn't arrived yet. I'll order when he comes." "Sure." After the waiter left, Evelyn took a deep breath. As the appointed time getting closer, she became more and more nervous. The night before, after encouraging herself repeatedly, she finally plucked up the courage to call Lawrence. However, she didn't say anything else but ask whether he had time to meet. Then they made an appointment. It was the weekend, so she didn't have to go to work. And she had enough time to dress herself up. She was busy making money and seldom put on makeup. Lawrence had seen her without makeup as well. However, this time was different. She was to begin a new life and had to make herself beautiful. There were ten minutes left. Evelyn became more and more nervous. When she was
"Yes," Lawrence nodded. "Why?" Evelyn said, "Then why do you look as if you were running over?" "I see," Lawrence said while shrugging. "There wasn't a parking space when I arrived. So I parked in the neighbouring parking lot. I was worried that you would wait too long, so I ran over." He then sighed and said, "But I still kept you waiting for a while." "It doesn't matter." Evelyn smiled and said, "Luckily I didn't leave earlier." "That's right," Lawrence nodded, "Luckily you didn't leave. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to meet you again." Sometimes, the difference between explaining on site and afterwards was really significant. "Sir, your coffee." The waiter came for serving. "Thank you." "You're welcome. Young Miss, your juice." "Thank you." "You're welcome. Please enjoy." The waiter took the tray and was about to leave when Lawrence suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute." "Sir, is there anything else you need?
Lawrence raised his eyebrows. "How did you know?" Evelyn's eyes widened. "Really? Did I say it right?" However, when she imagined that Lawrence cleaned the toilet and offices wearing uniforms, Evelyn felt it funny. Looking at Evelyn, who was trying her best to hold back her laughter, Lawrence chuckled, "Just kidding. How is that possible?" Hearing this, Evelyn laughed drily and said, "I was just joking with you. Didn't you realize it?" Actually, she didn't. She even was thinking to watch him cleaning afterwards. Lawrence didn't talk her through. He simply said, "I'm at the sales department." After speaking, he shrugged. "I just joined a few days ago. There is a lot for me to learn. So I'm busy." "Oh, when did you start working? I thought..." "What did you think?" Evelyn thought he would keep playing without working. But of course, she wouldn't say it out. Anyway, his family was rich enough that he could choose to play. Kids from poor families l
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat. Just a moment before, she had been relaxed. But the sudden question of Lawrence made her nervous again. Finally, it was the time. She secretly took a deep breath and slightly clenched her fists as if it would bring her more courage. Seeing that Evelyn lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time, Lawrence asked, "Evelyn?" "Yes." Evelyn replied and then looked up. She looked straight at Lawrence, then slowly began to smile. Seeing it, Lawrence could help but feeling his heart beat faster immediately. He held his breath and looked at Evelyn, waiting for her to speak. Maybe it really would be the answer he dreamed of. "Lawrence." Lawrence nodded, "Yes?" "Well...." Evelyn pursed her lips. But Lawrence's careful and hopeful look made her relaxed. He should know what she was going to say, shouldn't he? Perhaps he still didn't know what her answer was, but he should know t
"Is this really for me?" Evelyn couldn't help but ask while trying the dress. Elizabeth nodded, "Yes. It's tailed-made for you. See whether it fits you well. Otherwise, I'll have it adjusted and then it should be no problem." "It should be fine." Evelyn said, "Thanks to you, I'm now doing the job that I want to do. Although I haven't participated in the last production yet, I know it is good enough only by a look." Then Evelyn raved, "It's so beautiful! I really haven't worn such beautiful clothes before." Elizabeth chuckled, "Look at you. Don't overreact." "I'm not." Evelyn said, "We've known each other for years. Don't you know my tastes?" To move freely, she preferred to wear pants. In her wardrobe, there was almost no dress. Gradually, she didn't like dresses anymore. She felt that it wasn't convenient to wear dresses, and had to pay attention to the match. Most of time she didn't feel a sense of security while wearing dresses. But wearing
Hearing it, Elizabeth nodded, "You really thought thoroughly. Although you may have thought too much, I'd say you are right." "Elizabeth, I've thought so much in advance. I've thought clearly about what to say first. But..." Evelyn let out a dry cough and said, "I didn't say it out in the end." Elizabeth patted her on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. Tell him later." "I don't know." Evelyn shook her head and said, "I have to tell you I feel greatly relieved when I was sure that I wouldn't say them out as I watched him leaving." "Of course, it wasn't because I was too nervous. No. I just felt it correct that I didn't say them out." Elizabeth frowned and said, "Well, does it mean that you are just not that into him?" "Maybe, I don't know." Evelyn smiled and said, "Maybe someday in the future I will tell him. After all, he is really good. I just feel something missing between us. But maybe he will do something that touches me in the futu
