Chapter 54 Lost Soul
With bags of things in her hands, Nora entered the office. After a simple cleaning, she went out in a hurry. She wanted to let her colleagues taste the local specialities she brought from hometown. Nora was about to give one portion to Laquisha, but there was no people answer inside when she knocked on the door. She had no choice but to go to Ryan's office and give him one. It turned out that Laquisha was in his office.
"I didn't see you in your office when I knocked the door. It turns out that you are in the office of Agent Ryan. This is some local products I brought from my hometown. You can have a try."
"Thank you for bringing us delicious food. Thank you very much," said Laquisha with a smile.
Nora said, "I should thank you. Thank you for taking care of me, tolerating me and understanding me for so long."
Ryan looked at the two beautiful women and said, "You two don't need to say thank you to each other. Since we can work in the same company, maybe it's destiny."
The world was so big that they could meet each other in the boundless huge crowd. It really depended on fate. If they could get together and become friends with each other, that must mean that god arranged it.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Nora walked out of the office. She also prepared one portion for Cecilia and Emily.
When she came to Emily's office, Cecilia happened to open the door and come out. Nora almost bumped into her. Nora handed the local specialty to Cecilia and said, "This is for you. I brought it from my hometown."
Cecilia smiled and said to Nora, "Thank you for thinking of me whenever you have anything good. You are so nice!"
"Don't flatter yourself. I don't only miss you," said Nora jokingly. Then they smiled.
Cecilia went out for some business. After watching Cecilia leave the office, Nora pushed the door open and walked in. After being polite for a while, she handed one portion of local specialities to Emily. After distributing the local products, she went back to her office and poured a glass of water. She was about to sit down and have a rest.
Sitting on the sofa with a glass of water in her hand, Nora wondered if what she said to Hal at the gate of the company this morning. Was it too abrupt? But for on a second thought, if she didn't tell him the truth, he would misunderstand her all the time, and then she really couldn't explain it clearly.
She hoped that Hal would not blame her for not being sad for a while. She did it out of kindness. It was a short time and it was easy to explain the misunderstanding.
She hoped that Hal could get rid of this shadow as soon as possible, then find a girl who really liked him, find the happiness belonging to them as soon as possible, and build a happy family together. When Grace came back home from work and saw that Nora was washing clothes, she thought of what had happened in the company during the day. She thought it was necessary to ask Nora about Hal. She squatted beside Nora and asked, "May I ask you something? How is your relationship with Hal now?"
Nora stared at Grace in daze and said. "Now even you doubt what will happen between me and Hal? Are you still my best friend?"
Grace didn't know that her unintentional words made Nora happy again. She just wanted to figure out what had happened between them, which made Hal lost his soul.
Nora replied, "I have nothing to do with Hal. It's all his imagination. From beginning to end, I didn't agree to one of his request."
After listening to the explanation of her, Grace felt that Hal was too emotional. Nora felt that nothing had happened with them, but Hal was so indulged in his pursuing.
It turned out that all this was his wishful thinking. Grace knew well about Nora. She would not fall in love with anyone, and her mind was not on love at all.
All of a sudden, she felt pity for Hal. The woman he loved so much didn't like him. She wanted to comfort him when she had time.
After these days of contact, she felt that Hal was a very faithful person. She looked at his cheeky face, but she knew that his view was very traditional, which could be seen from his attitude towards Nora. After knowing the situation of Nora, Hal reflected on himself. He was too stubborn. Even if he didn't care about the fact that Nora had a child, they would unable to be approved by his parents.
If he wanted to give up her, his heart would ache. If he didn't give up, he had to be prepared to break up with the whole family. His heart was struggling, and he was thinking about what to do.
In the company, Hal was in low spirits all day long. If it was not Grace remind him, he would have made a big mistake when he signed the document. Fortunately, she noticed in time and stopped him. Looking at Hal helplessly, Grace thought, 'In this society, there is such a spoony man. Good men maybe almost extinct, and Hal is definitely the key protection object in the world.'
Hal, who was absent-minded at
work, which arouse Grace's attention and made her feel anxious. She was an impetuous woman. But she could do nothing to be anxious when she saw this situation. Hal was her boss and it was not her turn toshow her opinion.
One day, there was a meeting between Hal and an important client. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon they met. It seemed that the Secretary secretary told him something about two o'clock in the afternoon, but she didn't hear it clearly.
secretary replied, "Yes, Mr. Hal. I has arranged it."
But how could Hal, who was standing in front of her, had the feeling to meet a client? He sat on the sofa without saying a word, as if he had lost his soul.
At the risk of losing her job, she decided to have a good talk with Hal. Even if he fired her in the end, it was better than looking at him in this way and not saying anything. He must feel aggrieved and sad. Time passed. It was almost time to meet the client, but Hal sat still and didn't move at all, as if nothing had happened.
Grace couldn't stand it anymore. She walked to Hal and said, "Mr. Hal, don't you have anything to do today? You are going to miss the client this afternoon."
Hearing what she said, Hal looked at her helplessly and said, "I won't go. Help me find an assistant to deal with it."
Grace was a little bit angry, "You have been following and negotiating with this client all the time. If you suddenly arrange an assistant to follow her, what will the client think? Have you ever thought about it?" "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go," said Hal cheekily.
This completely irritated Grace. She said to Hal ferociously, "Wake up! She didn't like you at all. It's all your wishful thinking."
Taking a deep breath, she continued,
"Now that I've told you everything why are you still lying to yourself? Is
it interesting? If you are a man, cheer up and show her how capable and charming you are!" ///////
