Chapter 39: Friends


    Vivian didn''t know how to answer, and could only smile awkwardly.


    She had already rejected Holden''s feelings early on and believed he had long forgotten about her. It''s


    just that with this sudden chance encounter, Vivian didn''t know where to put him.


    Knowing Vivian''s mind, Holden is also more proactive and tries not to make her feel awkward.


    Holden chatted with Vivian while bringing up the congee, "The doctor said you just recovered from a


    serious illness, you should eat something light, so I bought some congee outside, you can just eat


    some first."


    If this porridge is still specially cooked by Holden, the burden in Vivian''s heart is even heavier. But if this


    was just something he bought at a small store in the neighborhood, she wouldn''t feel too weird in her


    heart.


    "I''m so sorry for bothering you to bring me to the hospital and bothering you to buy my food."


    Vivian smiled shyly, she didn''t know how to repay Holden, they obviously just had aical blind date


    and he could treat her like that.


    "Aren''t we friends?" Holden smiled gently, "It''s right for friends to help each other out, especially when


    it''s out in the open."


    Vivian did not answer, just smiled and nodded.


    She was embarrassed to say that after that separation, she didn''t even think they would have the


    chance to meet again.


    Holden once again brought the congee to Vivian, he said gently, "It''s better to eat it while it''s hot, it''s not


    good for your stomach if it gets cold."


    Vivian nodded and took the bowl from Holden and slowly ate it one bite at a time.


    "You are alsoing over on a business trip, will apanying me in the hospital dy you? I can do


    it alone, you don''t have to worry, there is nothing serious wrong now, I can do it alone.


    Vivian is really embarrassed to bother others so much, but she also knows that people are well-


    intentioned, and it is not good to say anything.


    Holden did not answer directly, but checked Vivian''s suspension before saying, "Things have been


    handled almost, and although you did not return my message before, but what I said is true."

    Holden looked at Vivian with a serious face, he continued, "Although now in the hospital room, it is a bit


    inappropriate to say that, but I want to tell you that I am serious about what I said. I didn''t go to you


    because there was something going on in thepany before, but now that things have been taken


    care of, I hope I can let you slowly get to know me and slowly believe what I''m saying."


    Vivian awkwardly stopped drinking the porridge, she did not know how to politely refuse better. Holden


    is good people, she did not want to dy others.


    The reason is that she knows that Hanley is a thorn in her heart, and even if she pulls it out, there will


    be traces of it. Holden deserves better, and she doesn''t want to hold up someone else''s life.


    Vivian thought for a while, she finally thought of how to speak, Holden but interrupted her.


    "Vivian, I can call you that, right?"


    Vivian nodded, "Naturally!"


    Seeing Vivian answer so quickly, the corner of Holden''s mouth involuntarily rose, he missed the


    opportunity before, now he will firmly grasp this opportunity.


    "So can we start off as friends? Sorry, I know something about you before, I know you may not be so


    quick to trust someone and trust a rtionship again, but I''m willing to prove with time that I''m not just


    saying that. Now you don''t need to answer me anything or say anything, you can treat me as a friend


    first, is that okay?"


    Looking at Holden''s gentle smile, Vivian couldn''t say anything to refuse, besides, there was nothing to


    lose for her to have one more friend. As for the feelings, I believe when they get acquainted, he will


    definitely change his current mind.


    "We are already friends, aren''t we?" Vivian smiled lightly, "Since we are friends, I wonder if I can


    trouble you with one thing?"


    Holden did not answer, but looked directly at Vivian.


    "Can you help me with the discharge procedure tomorrow morning?" Worried that Holden would refuse


    outright, before he could swallow his saliva, Vivian hurriedly continued, "You saw me talking about


    cooperation with the people from AR before, and we agreed to meet again tomorrow morning. This


    cooperation is particrly important to ourpany, and I don''t want to be sick and not be able to


    negotiate this cooperation."


    Since returning home, Vivian felt as if she hadn''t done anything at all. Her brother''spany was at a


    time when it needed help the most, but there was nothing she could do.


    So this time, no matter what, she would definitely take this contract.


    "It''s natural to help you with the discharge procedure." There was a pause before Holden voiced his


    concern, "It''s just that if you work right after you wake up, I''m afraid your body won''t be able to handle


    it. Even if the cooperation is important, if you can''t support yourself during the meeting with AR, won''t it


    be a futile effort?"


    This was also Vivian''s worry, she didn''t know if her body could hold up, but she wouldn''t be willing to


    give up if she gave up before she even tried.


    "Even if it''s futile, even if this coboration can''t be taken down, I still want to try. It''s not that I don''t care


    about my body, but this coboration is important. To be honest with you, I will go on a blind date


    before also because of thepany, and I want to help my brother, so I won''t give up easily."


    She looked at Holden seriously, this coboration, Vivian saw it as very important, even if she went into


    the hospital again, she still had to try to get it.


    If this coboration was not taken again, it would definitely be more difficult for her brother. So that she


    will definitely do her best to negotiate this business.


    "If you have to go, I won''t stop you, but I am definitely going to apany you." After saying that,


    Holden exined, "I will recuse myself while you talk about things, but I have to keep an eye on you


    and can''t let you really disregard your own body."


    "This ......"


    Vivian looked at Holden with some hesitation, she wasn''t worried about him snooping around for trade


    secrets, she just thought they were only meeting for the second time and shouldn''t bother him so


    much.


    "Vivian you said we are friends, since we are friends to help each other is supposed to?"


    Knowing what Vivian is worried about, Holden will not force her to agree, but he will also use his way to


    make her agree.


    "Who knows if I will have more difficult things to trouble you in the future, when the timees I will


    certainly not refuse your help, so now you also do not refuse my help, okay?"


    Holden knew that with this little bit of time together, it was absolutely impossible for Vivian to rely on


    himpletely.


    But he still hopes that the rtionship between the two can not be so awkward, he does not expect too


    much change, just hope Vivian can be a little less defensive of him.
