Chapter 108
Chapter 108
I was silent for a bit. On that night. Neil came to find me at the apartment, only to leave after receiving a
phone call, right?
Turns out Bonnie had a car ident. That was indeed an emergency No wonder he left in such a
hurry, and I hadn’t seen him for the next few days.
But, didn’t Russel know about this? Why didn’t he tell me?
I guess I was being a bit overconfident of myself, assuming Russel would tell me all the news
I typed on the screen Now I know. Well, none of this has anything to do with me anymore.
Ste sent me a thumbs up gif.
I put down my phone, closed my eyes and told myself that tomorrow morning I was going to report to
thepany and start working officially. I didn’t need to waste any more time on other stuff
Exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep. Not until the rm rang did I wake up in a daze.
I couldn’t bete on the first day of work, so I got up, washed up, and went to thepany with
Ondo
I was assigned to the Development Department Ondo told me that everything at the branch was still
in its early stages, so the expanding department was a very important and training intensive
department. I would be responsible for developing new sales channels and promotions.
I had no objections. As a neer to the workce, the most important thing was to be diligent and
eager to learn. I decided to study hard.
Three dayster, Ondo arranged a ce for me to live close to thepany. He busied himself
finding a movingpany. It was not until everything was arranged that he let out a sigh of relief,
saying, “Finally got you settled. Your dad calls me eight times a day asking if I’m taking good care of
you. I’m scared to death”
“Thank you! Once I get my sry, I’ll treat you to a meal, I said with a smile, “Bring your wife and
Barton Finch too.”
Barton is Ondo’s son and my nephew. He is only two years old and very cute
Ondo nodded in satisfaction, “OK, I think that’s a good idea. You’ve grown up and be more
sensible.”
I’m only six months younger than you!” I rolled my eyes.
“Well, in my eyes, you’re still a child” Ondo suddenly sighed, “My son is already two years old, and
you? You chased Neil for so long, finally married him, and now look at you. Was it worth it?”
My chest tightened, “Don’t mention him. Are you trying to kill me?”
Ondo lightly tapped my shoulder, “I feel it’s not worth it for you! You devoted your entire youth to a
man who doesn’t love you. Even if you divorce him in the future, you’ve already paid the price for your
foolish actions!”
I’m definitely going to marry a man who truly loves me in the future, to make up for the youth I missed” I
huffed
“Don’t worry I know many excellent young men. When the timees, I’ll introduce you to a good
man!” Ondo said with a fond smile.
Ondo and I chatted for a while. Seeing the sky dark, he hurried home for dinner. I didn’t go with him,
but cooked a pack of instant noodles in my new ce, just to fill my stomach.
In this estrange country, estrange city, estrange environment, I began to miss home.
To stave off the loneliness, I initiated a video chat in the group chat.
I was relieved to see that all three girls epted my video call
Barbara was lounging on the couch gnawing on chicken wings. She asked me, “Have you adapted to
your new life yet?”
Alicia had already started working overtime. Her head was buried in a pile of documents, her voice was
a bit muffled, “Don’t worry. There are many of ourpatriots in Cdonia”
I said helplessly, “Even whenpatriots meet, they have to speak a foreignnguage”
“That’s okay You’re not incapable of speaking a foreignnguage.” Ste, who was wearing pajamas
and a face mask, said, “My brother is also going back to thepany in Cdonia”
“No way!” I almost jumped up. “You have to stop him!*
“How do I stop him?” Ste took off the face mask,ughing, “His determination really moved me”
Barbara also said, “Don’t be so quick to reject. I think Simmons is pretty good”
Alicia also nodded vigorously
I sighed
Suddenly, Ste asked nervously. “If Neil knows about your going abroad, it’s okay, right? After all,
you’re already gone.”
“Did you tell him?” I asked
“No. I barely have any contact with him. I just identally let it slip to someone else, so the news might
reach his ears. Ste answered weakly
At first, I was a bit angry, but then I thought about it and it was okay After all, I knew I couldn’t hide from
him for long
So I let it go, “It’s okay, as long as they don’t know where I am specifically I don’t believe he can find
me”
Ste breathed a sigh of relief
Alicia suddenly looked up from her busy work and asked, “Ste, who did you let it slip to? How could it
possibly reach Neil’s ears?”
It had to be Russel, Mitch, or Cooper.
But none of these three were close to Ste
Steughed and said, “We’re all in the same circle, so anything’s possible!”
“Okay, fair enough.” Alicia went back to her work.
We chatted for a while and ended the video chat, but soon Ste sent me another individual video call
invite.
After I epted, she told me gleefully. “Bonnie’s hand might be permanently disabled!”
“What happened?” I asked.
“Her left hand’s nerves were severed. The surgery was not sessful. In short, her left hand might be
weak and not fully controble in the future.” Ste said, almostughing out loud.
In theory, I should think this is God’s retribution for her, but I couldn’tugh.
Her hand was disabled, so what? This didn’t bring any real benefits to me.
I asked, “Do you know how she had the car ident?”
“Good question! I do!” Ste said, “I heard that her mother arranged a blind date for her. The guy used
the excuse of delivering gifts to meet her at her home. After Bonnie found out his real intention, she
was very upset. The moment he left, she got into a heated argument with her parents. She ran out of
the house and was then hit by a car”
Ada arranged a blind date for Bonnie… She was really something.
Bonnie was totally head over heels for Neil, so there’s no way she’s going to go for that blind date her
parents arranged. No matter how pretty she is, she can’t meet a guy like Neil in her everyday life.
