Chapter 445
Victor raised his head slightly to look at her cut side face. His deep eyes were as bright as stars, and on his exceptionally handsome face, a playful smile could be seen.
He said gently, "Eden, thank you for everything." And thank you for coming back.
Eden slowly turned around and calmly looked at him with her bright big eyes. "Do you know that these strange movements and words will cause me a lot of trouble?" Her tone was low, and there were other meanings in it.
For example, Victor should not come to her.
For example, his father.
His father had warned her to leave the Alwynn Group.
But she turned a deaf ear to it. She still came to work today.
She was determined to do this job and would not be scared off easily. But sometimes, she had to admit that the reality was crueler than she imagined.
Whether she could get through depended on her willpower.
Occasionally, she would think back to the two days when she and Victor were in Fralstin. The sweet memories had already been planted in her heart. Victor, who was as cold as snow, had shown her his gentle side. She couldn't figure out her feeling about Victor.
But she did not hate this feeling.
Hearing her words, Victor approached her closer.
Eden plucked up the courage this time. She did not take a single step back. She met his gaze without flinching, despite the shockingly beautiful face in front.
They looked at each other in silence. Gradually, they were deep in each other's eyes. They both wanted to figure out the emotions in the other's eyes, but both of them failed. But they persevered in their attempts.
Eden was gradually at a disadvantage. In the end, she could not help but blink her eyes and lower her head slightly.
Victor then smiled slightly, "Eden, I know that you are very curious, but I promise that you won't wait too long.
No matter what others say, don't believe it. You just need to stay by my side." "You just need to stay by my side." There was deep
affection in this sentence."
Eden's heart tightened. She suddenly looked at Victor with a cold smile. "You're so bossy."
But even though his words were very simple, she trusted him from the bottom of her heart.
Eden could not help but complain in her heart.
How the hell could he be so charming?
Victor raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a wicked smile. "Bossy? I will only be this bossy when I am with you."
The corners of Eden's mouth curved slightly, and the emotions in her eyes flickered. "Victor, your arrogance makes me panic. You can say whatever you want, but I won't think too much about your words."
She said with a low voice and a bitter smile, averting her eyes from Victor. "I don't want to quit this job. I've been working in your company for nearly four years, and it's not easy for me to get where I am today. will focus on work in the future."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked out.
She was too busy to think about many things.
What she should think about was how to work better and make more money to raise her children.
As a single mother, she must do more and think less.
She must be responsible and do things that were good for her children.
She had suffered a lot in her life. What she wanted was simple. She wanted nothing but raiment and daily bread. She wanted her family to be happy and safe.
Victor looked at her slim back and felt distressed. He said, "Eden, don't worry. You can work here as long as you'd like to."
Eden's hand paused slightly as she pulled the door. She did not turn around. Instead, she stood there quietly for a while. She replied, "Thank you!"
Then she opened the door and went out.
Victor stood in the same place for a while, and confusion appeared in his deep eyes.
For the first time, he didn't know what to do.
He wanted to tell Eden the truth, but he was afraid that something bad would happen to her.
"I'm back!" Anson's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
Hearing this, Victor frowned. Anson had only asked for three days' leave, but he had gone for a
week.
He and Lucian had been up to their eyes in work this week.
Hearing Anson's joyous voice, Lucian, who was working, did not even raise his head.
Seeing that Lucian ignored him, Anson knew that this gentle-looking Mr. Ronen was going to throw a tantrum with him from today onwards.
He walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Lucian, I'm back. Please do me a favor, raise your head, and have a look at me."
Anson looked pitiful. He begged Lucian to take a look at him.
If his begging was ignored, he would feel distressed.
Lucian said coldly, "Busy!"
Anson's face was gloomy. He patiently said, "Lucian, don't do that. I've only been gone for three to four days, you need to understand me, right?
It's the first time I've fallen in love with a woman.
You should have congratulated me. Your indifferent attitude will hurt our friendship."
Lucian did not raise his head, typing rapidly on the keyboard. His tone was still very cold, "Work is work, friendship is friendship, and love is love. You can't mix them up."
Hearing this, Anson was stunned. He knocked hard on the table and said, "Lucian, are you joking? Which ancient country did you travel from? It's the 21st century now. Why do you still have such a pedantic way of thinking?
Please! You're one of my best friends. Do you have to pour cold water on my head and let this friendship be frozen?"
Lucian then stopped working, raised his eyes, looked at him quietly, and said, "It's been seven or eight days since we last saw each other, yet you've got a new silver tongue. You're getting more and more talkative now. Looks like you're really in love."
Anson burst into laughter.
Lucian looked at him quietly and did not get affected by his laughter.
Anson suddenly felt bored, and his laughter came to an abrupt end. He smiled, "Lucian, love is two hearts linking together. I had only been there for a few days, yet you're still dreaming that I can bring back a wife? Armchair general!"
Anson also wished that he could marry Abigail. He would be very happy to have her accompany him to explore the future.
But no matter what, he had already understood his feelings. Abigail was indeed a woman who could set fire to his heart.
Lucian's eyes remained calm, and he asked flatly, "So, you failed this time."
Anson shook his head slightly and a hint of disappointment could be seen on his handsome face as he said, "It doesn't count as a failure. It's just that we need to walk deeper into each other's life. It might take a long time.
Don't you know that the best love comes from mutual affinity?"
