When the clock struck six o'clock in the evening, Brian took Mrs. Alina to the airport. Before leaving, she did not forget to give me a thick red envelope. Even though I am an adult, when I receive lucky money, I am as happy as a child. Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, I no longer feel sad because I know this spring I have him, I am not alone. For several hours I sat on the doorstep, looking out at the gate and waiting for him. And as soon as I heard him ring the bell, I immediately ran out, frantically putting the key in the lock. I thought I was the only one in a hurry, but this man was even more urgent, he stopped the car as soon as he drove into the gate and told me to lock the gate and get in the car. “What are you laughing at?” Brian narrowed his eyes and looked at me and asked. “The distance from the gate to the garage is very short, why did you tell me to get in the car?” “I like that.” This guy is too unruly, as long as it's what he likes, he'll do i
The year-end party started at six o'clock in the evening, then at half past seven, Brian's car arrived at the villa. When I opened the gate, I saw that there was another person in his car, that is the assistant who often turns into a driver when Brian has too much to drink. However, when I sent the assistant to the gate to catch a taxi, I went back in and saw that my beloved was not so drunk that he could not walk. He seems to be still very awake, his face is a bit red, one foot kicks the other, and his posture leans forward for a few seconds and then back again after a few seconds. He still had a loving smile on his face for me. “I thought you were drunk, so you asked your assistant to take you home.” “Not very drunk, but I am afraid that I will die soon and leave you. I am afraid that you will follow someone else.” I don't know if I should believe what the drunk said, but honestly, these words of his make me very happy. But talking about death is not good at all. I put my fin
Finally, the last night of the old year has come. Although Brian did not go to the US and just stayed at home with me, he gave a false notice that he was traveling far away to avoid anyone coming to visit. All day yesterday until this afternoon, I was the one who went to the gate to receive gifts from his large and small partners and friends, while he hid in the room, playing the role of the absentee. “Bella, come over here.” He called out when I just walked into the living room. I obeyed him, rushed over and I realized he was talking to Mrs. Alina. I can see the New Year's atmosphere is also filling the space there, there are yellow chrysanthemums, apricot blossoms, and watermelons. “Hi, ma'am.” I raised my hand and waved. “Yeah. I called to say happy new year because the whole family is going to see the fireworks soon. Happy New Year, Bella.” Mrs. Alina said eagerly. Southern California has spectacular New Year's Eve activities, with flower streets and fireworks too. Two years
Eight days later, the plane carrying Mrs. Alina and Hellen also landed at the airport. Sunshine Bank, like many other banks, opens on Thursday, and Brian has also returned to work, so the person who brought his mother home was her personal assistant. Like many other long trips, she still remembers to buy me gifts. However, this time the gift was quite valuable, it was a gold necklace with a pendant in the shape of a ginkgo leaf. “This is too expensive.” I looked at her as the jewelry box was opened. “This is my last gift to you.” She reached out her hand and pushed it toward me and said sternly. Last gift? My instincts told me the bad meaning behind that statement. However, I could not understand what she wanted to say next. What did I do to make her unhappy? “Bella, I brought you here because I needed a maid, not because I wanted to give my son to you. Do you understand?” My head was buzzing like an airplane engine flew by, and my eyes darkened because I couldn't believe that
When the clock struck five o'clock in the morning, it was also time for us to get in the car and set off toward the coastal city. I sat in the back seat with Mrs. Alina and didn't dare look up at the driver's seat because I was afraid that I would cry. The closer the moment of parting came, the more I could not control my emotions. Near six o'clock in the morning, the car arrived in the coastal city because Brian drove the car on the highway. I glanced at the empty streets and felt strange even though I had been here twice before. Maybe because it wasn't yet morning, my eyes couldn't see clearly. I don't know why I suddenly felt insecure and I felt like my intestines were burning hot. If my parents were still alive, I would have thought that something bad had happened to them. I was about to tell Brian to slow down when suddenly a truck coming from the opposite direction appeared in front of us and was rushing at us at an amazing speed. I just had time to see lights flash, hear
Because I wanted the nurse not to worry about me and leave, I obediently closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. After ten minutes, she also left the room. When I was sure she had gone quite far, I crawled out of bed, clinging to the furniture and then clinging to the wall to get out of the room. My leg was injured so I couldn't move quickly, I struggled a lot, but I could only walk a short distance. When I saw a girl asking the doctor where the emergency room was, I hurriedly listened and continued to move little by little. “Miss Hellen, Miss Hellen...” I called out when I saw Hellen running after the white stretcher being pushed very quickly by two female nurses. Intuition told me that the person lying on it was Brian. Fortunately, Hellen didn't ignore me but stopped. I recognized the resentment in her blue eyes. That's right, no one is friendly with a rival. “Miss Hellen, how is Brian? He'll be fine, right?” I approached her and asked. “Do you think he can be okay? He wil
I trembled and touched Brian's hand. I couldn't feel anything at all because the thick bandages separated us. I would love to stay to take care of him until the day he recovers, but that is only a wish. The promise between the two of us had to be canceled. I couldn't fulfill the wish he wished when the shooting star passed through the sky that night. “Brian, please recover quickly. Please try up. You will definitely be fine. I believe you can do that.” My tears have almost dried up, right now, even though emotions welled up in me, I didn't shed a single tear, only the writhing pain in my heart, in every cell, is endless. I hope that when he wakes up, he will quickly forget me, forget the person who caused him a lot of pain. How many times he confessed his love was rejected by me, so many times he gnawed on resentment and frustration. I should also let go of his hand, if I persist in holding on to him, neither of us will be happy. There are promises that should be forgotten. If
More than half an hour later, Richard returned with a lot of food in his hand. He carefully poured the noodle soup into a bowl and fed it to me. I eat very naturally, without hesitation, and shyly. Perhaps because my sleazy and pathetic appearance had already been exposed in front of him, my shy nerves no longer reacted to him. “Is it delicious?” He asked softly. I didn't answer, just nodded. Seeing that the screen of the phone he left on the table lit up, I quickly raised my hand to signal him to answer the phone because I was busy chewing. Richard is very polite, he set the vibration mode, not letting the bell ring. “I'm listening.” Richard held the phone in one hand, while the other continued to pick up the lean meat and bring it to my mouth. The distance between us is quite close so I can hear the female voice on the other side of the phone talking about the documents and contracts that need to be reviewed by him before sending them to the partner. “Okay. Email me, I'll ch
Day after day, Brian and I gradually got used to the routine of work.He runs Sunshine Bank and a representative branch of Hana Group and also manages BB company.As for me, I can only assist him in running BB company.From my dream of becoming a fashion designer, I am now the owner of a fairly large fashion company.BB company's representative office and workshop have been moved to another place and expanded the scale of business and production.Today is the day orders placed according to Brian's designs are exported to foreign countries.Watching the container leave, my heart was filled with indescribable emotions when thinking about the past months. Satisfied. I am extremely satisfied.“Richard.” I spoke up in surprise and quickly walked to the car that had just stopped in front of the company gate.“Hello boss.” Richard smiled gently and handed me the huge box.“What is this?”“It's your husband's goods. Please give it to him for me. I was passing by here so I stopped by to give i
After a night of making love to the point of exhaustion, I woke up in Brian's arms. And he was still sleeping.Brian's face, his body, and the diamond ring on my ring finger told me I wasn't dreaming.Out of habit, I used my index finger to move from his forehead to the tip of his nose, then draw around the thin lip line.“Ah, why did you bite me?” I screamed when Brian suddenly bit my finger.“You've been bitten by me many times but you still don't stop this habit. How's that? Do you miss me?”This guy knew and still asked questions. I frowned and nodded. If I was stubborn and shook my head, he would have grabbed me and made love to me one more time. I should not provoke him.“I told you to stay at home and I would arrange to go home early, but why did you sulk, neglect the company, and drink alcohol?” Brian grabbed my cheek and stretched it. His voice sounded as if he was dissatisfied.“Why did you lie to me when you came back to America to meet your grandfather? Didn't your grandfa
More than a week has passed since Brian left. I still go to the company and urge the workers to work.I looked at the calendar and realized that payday was coming up. The company's salary fund is only enough to pay this month's salary. Next month, if there are no investors, I really don't know how to manage.Sitting alone in the office, my eyes couldn't focus on the numbers.Brian only sent me a text message when he just arrived in America, telling me that he was very busy in the near future and might not be able to call or text me, and then he completely disappeared.I don't believe he's so busy that he doesn't have time for me. His phone seemed to have been turned off, or he had changed his SIM card, so I couldn't contact him.As for Harold, since Brian left, I have not been able to contact him.Zalo is turned off, and Facebook is also turned off. I sent an email, but no one responded. I don't know how many more days I can try to be strong.I am very tired. My heart is hurt. My inte
Harry nodded and sat down. He constantly blamed me for taking his business card without giving him my phone number. I had to lie and say I forgot. “Ah, that day you said you would sign a contract with my company next week, but why did you stay silent?” I pretended to be innocent and timidly asked. “Brian didn't say anything to you? Didn't he ask you to text me?” Harry's eyes widened and looked at me. “No. I know nothing. Because he was so busy, I took the initiative to make an appointment with you to ask.” “Okay, I don't like to beat around the bush, let me tell you.” He picked up the glass of water and took a sip before continuing. I have to admit that his face is really thick. He didn't hesitate and said that as long as I became his lover, he would sign the contract immediately. And every month, he will give me two thousand dollars to spend. I have to admit that in his eyes, I'm valuable. Right. When Brian was still a rich young master, he was also fascinated by me. It seems
Another week has passed but I still don't see any contract from WE finance company sent to BB company.Could it be that that man named Harry scammed us? But for a week now, Brian has stopped following Harry.During the past week, he was always present in the office and then went to the factory.Although there were times when he went out, in the afternoon he would stop by the company to pick me up and take me home, cook with me, and have meals with me.“Brian.” I stared at him and called.“Uh. What's up?” He said while typing continuously on the computer keyboard.“Why don't I see the contract? Why is that guy silent? Do you need me to call to remind him?”“Don't call. Don't sign anymore.” Brian stopped typing and looked at me, his voice very serious.Brian and that guy think the job is a joke? He's been serving Harry all this time, losing his health, getting drunk, vomiting, and now he says he won't sign.These two men thought they were playing jump rope and soccer, right?“Why?” I as
In the following days, Brian only appeared at the company in the morning, and in the afternoon was the time he diligently searched for investors. Every night he was drunk when he came home. The deputy director of WE Financial Company must be a glutton and a drinker who keeps inviting my beloved to useless parties with the promise of doing business together. The partner's advance payment is thirty percent of the total contract, so we can only import some fabrics and accessories for pre-production. Within two months, Brian must find an investor, otherwise the contract will be late. I told Harold about it and he was willing to help, but both he and I knew that Brian would not accept it. That persistent man will never take money from Harold. “The fact that I asked Mr. David to buy most of the apartment so that Brian could return to his position as bank president sooner was discovered by him. He said that I was pretending to be a good person.” Harold's voice sounded like he was blamin
After another half month, Brian's designs have been completed. He handed the company over to me to manage and then flew to America to meet his partner. If those stores agree to cooperate, this will be the first step full of hope for his dream and mine. He lay next to me every night, unconsciously forming a habit, so when he left, my sleep was restless and not good. In the morning, I have to apply more eye shadow to cover my dark circles. The front of the train must be fresh for the rear of the train to be excited. I want to transmit positive energy and enthusiasm to my employees. As the dusk gradually fell, I stood up, arranged the office, and waited for the workers to leave, then I left. Brian and I are always the last two people to leave the company. “There's someone looking for you.” The security guard said as soon as I stepped out of the gate. I quickly recognized Richard's car. These past few months, he's been busy and I've been busy too, so we haven't had time to see each
Brian tormented me all night, but he was still able to wake up early and prepare to go out. As for me, I felt pain all over my body, so I kept lying on the bed, glaring at the man combing his hair in front of the mirror. Today, he will hire people to renovate the premises, and then import machinery. “Will you come back at noon?” I yawned and asked. “No. I came back late in the afternoon. I will buy food for you to eat. Don't cook anything today, just rest.” It seems that this guy still has some conscience. He knew he had exhausted me. I sat up, put my hand in the desk drawer, took out an expensive ring, then approached Brian and placed it in his hand. Since the day he gave it to me, I haven't worn it much, only occasionally taking it out to look at it. So, it's still very new. “Thank you, Bella.” He wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on top of my head. I suddenly heard his soft sigh. I raised my hand and patted his broad back. All will be fine. I think so. Not lon
“You... you should go take a shower.”I used both hands to place on Brian's chest, trying to push him away, but the result was that he remained as inert as a rock, as steady as bronze.His eyes were filled with lust, and dreaminess, and looked at me affectionately.“It's too late, Bella, this fire can't be put out anymore.” His hoarse voice rang softly in my ear.The stimulation from Brian nibbling on my earlobe made me almost numb.The two times we had sex in the past, he and I were entwined with each other when I had lost most of my consciousness, but now, the feelings were so real that I didn't know how to receive him.Maybe I need to drink more wine. As long as I drink more alcohol, I will be more courageous or I will be completely drunk without knowing anything.“I... I need to drink alcohol. Brian, let's drink some more wine.” I tremblingly suggested to him.Immediately, Brian left my ear and raised his head to look.I was excited, thinking he would agree, but I didn't expect hi
