    Dinner time.


    "Violette, Adrian came to see me this afternoon." Albina''s eyes were full of smiles, "He said he''s going

    to settle down in the country..."


    Violette looked at her mom''s smiling face and guessed what she was trying to say.


    "Mom, I know you want me to find a man and get married. But please, don''t show this kind of emotion


    in front of others, or people will think I''m easy!" Violette begged, "I''m only in my twenties, still young!


    Now is the time to strive for my career. When I be sessful and famous, I can have any


    handsome guy I want."


    Albina''s smile disappeared: "I''m not rushing you... I really think Adrian is a good match. When you were


    abroad, he took such good care of you! How can you forget his kindness?"


    Violette: "So just because someone is nice to me, I have to give myself to them? Dr. Mitchel is even


    nicer to me!"


    Albina: "...Fine! Keep pretending you don''t see it! Adrian is really a good guy, and if you miss him, you


    may not find another man who treats you so well in the future."


    "Have some faith in me, okay? There will be men attracted to me in the future." Violetteforted her


    mom, "And, have you asked the kids'' opinions? They don''t want a stepdad."


    Violette gave the kids a look.


    Rita obediently expressed her opinion: "Although I don''t want a stepdad, if it''s a man my mom likes, I


    can reluctantly ept him."


    Clearly, her daughter didn''t understand the meaning of her look.


    Violette ced her hopes on her son.


    Ian: "Grandma, let''s eat."


    Albina: "Alright, grandma won''t say anymore. I''m just afraid your mom will regret itter, so I wanted to


    remind her. Since she''s not interested, I won''t bother."


    Violetteughed: "Mom, if you want to y matchmaker, you can help Mike find someone. He''s been


    hanging out at bars every daytely, so he probably wants a girlfriend."


    The next day.


    The Dennis Group.


    Adrian''s arrival was a big surprise to Violette.


    "Adrian, aren''t you taking a day off at home today?" Violette invited him to sit down on the sofa.


    Adrian: "Do you have any coffee here?"


    "You better not drink coffee, or you''ll suffer from insomnia again tonight." Violette poured him a ss of


    water, "How about I take you on a tour of the different departmentster?"


    Adrian nodded: "I came to see you for a reason."


    With that, he handed her a photo.


    She picked it up, full of doubt: "Who is this person?"


    "A patient. He''s been bedridden for three years with a slight consciousness. He''s a little better than a


    vegetable. His parents found Dr. Mitchel half a year ago. Dr. Mitchel took his medical records. But he


    hasn''t had time to give a treatment n before..." Adrian began.


    "Oh... Since the professor promised, you can give me his medical records to take a look!" Violette said.


    "Will it affect your work? After all, yourpany just started and it''s a busy time." Adrian hesitated,


    "How about waiting until you''re less busy?"


    Violette nced at the photo: "Just show me the records. Such a good-looking boy, it''s a pity for him to


    be lying there all the time!"


    Adrian: "I''ll give it to youter. Show me around your business empire!"


    Violette couldn''t help butugh: "Adrian, stop teasing me. When I visited your hospitalst time, I didn''t


    make fun of you like this."


    The two left the office, talking andughing along the way.


    Soon, the news of Violette''s new boyfriend spread throughout the Dennis Group.
