Chapter 992 Turning Over A New Leaf
"Holley, my mother shouldn''t have acted like that toward you. I understand that you''re hurt. At the same
time, I understand her too. Your words were offensive. She is not only my mother but also the owner of
thepany. You contradicted and embarrassed her in front of all those shareholders. No one could
take that attitude without getting angry. So please try to understand. I promise I will help you get your
job back," Georgeforted Holley patiently. The disagreement between her and his mother was such
a headache for him. They were both at fault; he had to help them understand that and iron out their
differences.
Holley nodded her head approvingly and stated, "I see. Yes, you are right. George, when I say I don''t
need to go back to my old job, I mean it. It''s not something I''d just throw out in the heat of the moment.
It''s what I want now."
"What do you mean? I don''t get what you''re saying," George inquired, confused. He knew how much
Holley''s job at BM Corporation mattered for her. Susan was still working in thepany, and Holley
would use her to get back at Sheryl. She wouldn''t just give it all up, but her words weren''t making any
other sense.
Holley noticed George''s shocked expression and exined, "We have been in love for so many years.
You know how much you mean to me. All that really matters right now is that you are part of my life. As
long as we''re together, losing my job doesn''t matter anymore." She seemed genuine in her answer.
George continued to stare at her, unable toprehend her words. Eventually, he asked, hesitating,
"Holley, I don''t understand what''s happening. Are you saying you''re not mad anymore? Are you willing
to give up your ns?" More questions were inundating his mind but he was trying to take them one at
a time.
"No, I''m not mad. I really mean it. It just hit me," Holley began rifying. With her head hung low and
tears in her eyes she continued, "Today is the anniversary of my mother''s death." She knew George
would realize where she was going with that.
Indeed, he understood then why Holley had been under the weather that day. She had lost her cool
because she was missing her mother more than any other day.
He cupped her face, grazing his thumb along her jaw, and apologized, "Sorry, Holley. If I had known
today is the anniversary of your mother''s death, I would have exined it to my mother before things
got out of hand." He could feel her sorrow. Thest thing he wanted was to add more to it. He would do
anything to alleviate her pain.
Sighing heavily, he questioned himself, ''What should I do now? I don''t know if my mother will care
about this at all. I can see why Holley has lost control today, but now it''s not easy for me to change my
mother''s opinion of her.''
"It''s okay," Holley said while holding George''s gaze. It was as if she had read his mind. "George," she
continued, "I didn''t tell you about this to make you feel bad. As I said, you are what matters most to me.
Honestly, nothing else means as much for me. As long as you are in my life, I can give up anything and
anyone. You are all I need."
"Really?" George doubted. His heart skipped a beat at the sound of her words. He wanted to believe
her but he could barely recognize her anymore. It felt like the Holley he knew had disappeared and a
waking up from. Holley living the simple life with him was something he could only hope for before.
However, at that moment it was all starting to look usible. Everything was happening so fast. He felt
conflicted while warm and fuzzy inside.
"Of course. I mean it," Holley assured him as she leaned into a hug. She rested her head on his
shoulder and added, "Because of the anniversary of my mother''s death I am in low spirits. However,
today shows that no matter what I do, no matter how many times I mess up, you are always by my
side. This means a lot to me, George. I am lucky to have you. Being with you is the best thing that has
ever happened to me."
Holley steepled her fingers together and remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Do you know
what I am thinking of? When I honored my mother in front of her tomb, I was angry. You are always
supportive of your mother and regard her as the most important person in your life. So it''s not hard to
figure out that I am putting you in a tough spot when we argue. You try to remain neutral and pacify
both of us. You really want us to get along well, don''t you?"
George felt relieved seeing that she was starting to understand his situation. He smiled gratefully and
replied, "I am so d you get it."
Holley nodded in response. She stared at him for a while in silence before concluding, "Said and done
then! If your mother has decided to fire me, then I''ll dly resign myself to that. There is no need to
exin anything to her anymore. The position at BM Corporation doesn''t matter to me anymore. As for
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Susan, if your mother approves to her resignation, I won''t interfere with her decision."
"You really mean what you are saying?" George repeated. He never expected Holley to ept his
mother''s short-temper. Her willingness to simply let it all go was starting to sound suspicious to him.
It was hard for him to trust Holley''s words after knowing how focused she had been on getting revenge.
On top of that, she didn''t even want to confront his mother anymore. It all seemed strange to him.
Noticing his reluctant looks, Holley promised, "I wouldn''t lie about this. George, I know I''ve often
disappointed you but now I am realizing my priorities and you are one of them, the most important one.
Life is too short; I don''t want to waste my time or energy on insignificant people and things. All I want is
to live a happy life with you."
Her thoughts interrupted her words. Her gaze drifted away from George for one second and then
returned with a smile. Excited, she mentioned, "You know what I want now? I want us to hold our
wedding ceremony as soon as possible and live happily ever after. I want to have your babies. You can
work at thepany and I will look after our children. We will live such a good life, won''t we?"
"Holley!" George eximed. He was so deeply touched by her words that he hugged her immediately.
She took him by surprise in a pleasant way.
Only God knew how long he had been waiting for that moment.
"What''s the matter? You don''t like my n?" Holley joked. His reaction said everything.
However, he still wanted to rify, "Of course I do! How can I not like it? You don''t know what it means
to me to hear you say that. I will confirm our wedding date as soon as possible. I can''t wait to marry
you!"
"Sounds good," she answered inly. Compared to George, she looked calm, almost indifferent.
George ignored that, though.
She thought to herself, ''Ferry is right. My position at BM Corporation is not the most important thing;
George is. As long as he loves me, he will help me and my ns will go smoothly.
It doesn''t matter that Donna doesn''t like me now. I will marry George as soon as possible. After the
wedding ceremony, we will have a baby soon. I am confident that Donna won''t look down on me after
that.''
Holley nced at George and quickly added, "By the way, George, marriage is holy and important for
me. Our parents must attend our wedding. Also, since your mother got embarrassed because of me, I
am wondering if you can invite her for dinner. I want to apologize in person and tell her about our
wedding ns. What do you think?"
George didn''t reply right away. If Holley had offered this before, he would have been all over it. At that
moment he had a minor hup, which could backfire badly on him. He gulped and considered the
issue, ''I have been intimate with S and have not figured out how to face her yet.
I wonder if she has said anything about us to our parents. Now that Holley and I are talking about our
wedding, she may get mad. We may break up because of her.''
