Chapter 55 Wake Up
If a person feel depressed all the time and no one stopped him in time, then he would embark on the road of degeneration, and the consequences would be unimaginable. If there was someone who could wake him up, his future would be better.
Hal was woken up by Grace's scolding.
Hal came to his senses. He had once lived in his own world, using his own thoughts to force other people's thoughts to obey him, making them difficult and hurting himself.
Was there other feeling between men and women except for love? What Nora said was right. In her heart, Hal was just a brother.
He would wake up eventually.
No matter how sad and desperate he was now, it was useless, because everyone had a place in other people's hearts. Nora regarded him as her brother in her heart.
There was no love, but there were other feelings. Hal told himself to cheer up and try to be the best and perfect himself.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Hal and Grace showed up on time. They had made an appointment with a client. In running business, the most important thing was to be honest, punctual and keep their promises. Hal's behavior had won the praise of the client.
This time, because of her bold criticism, Hal was freed from the pain quickly. It was because of her accurate guidance that Hal quickly woke up and recognized his position.
Hal needed to thank Grace, so when he met this important client this time, he asked Grace to accompany him. He wanted to practice Grace's public relation ability.
Sitting next to Hal, she looked neither humble nor pushy, as if she was a capable businesswoman in the workplace. Listening to the negotiation between them, she kept silent and kept in mind all the requirements and suggestions the client had made to the company.
During the negotiation, there was an unequal term that was not disadvantageous to the Sea Rise Group. However, with some modifications, it could also make a lot of money for the group. Hal was careless and didn't notice it. However, Grace noted it in mind.
When the negotiation was about to come to an end, there was a symbolic conclusion. As soon as Grace recommended herself, she began to talk. Her way of thinking was beyond Hal's imagination.
SHe was dignified and generous. She was able to stand in the position of both sides to consider things at the same time and received a lot of praise from the customers. Then, she changed the topic and put forward the unequal term.
This was beyond Hal's expectation, and also to the client's surprise. At last, the client signed his name obediently after hearing what Grace said.
This move of Grace had brought more benefits to the group. Hal praised her and the client gave her thumbs up. She was born to be an assistant.
After this negotiation, Hal found that she was a business genius. If she was trained, she would certainly make a great achievement in the business circle.
Maybe it was natural, but it was too simple for Grace. She did not deliberately learn, remember, and understand.
This time, she was famous in the Sea Rise Group. Several directors of the board wanted to transfer her to their side. As soon as the news came out, she thought, this was not to embarrass him, but a competition between the directors.
Smart as Grace, she announced that her original intention to work in the group was to be a senior assistant. No matter how good the position was for him, she would not accept it. She would not change her original intention.
The members of the board of directors also knew that it was not a matter of time to win her admiration. They had to think carefully and couldn't take action rashly.
As Hal's senior assistant, she thought she should start from the grassroots level. She couldn't be too ambitious, which would break her wings and eventually destroy herself.
Hal worked in the company during
the day, accompanied by his colleagues, supported by his
subordinates, and was busy with his work. He felt that he had a full life, and he was most afraid of the coming of night. The pain was as expected and lingered in his mind.
One kind of torture was called hardly wished to live, one kind of let go was called to five is no better than to die one kind of missing was called a short distance away; one kind of love was called let me be empty and weightless.
A lonely and injured man drank himself on a lonely and lone night. It was incomprehensible for a person who had not experienced a blow from love.
Alcohol was a good thing. Drinking alcohol was good for your health. Excessive dependence on alcohol would erode your body, making you as uncomfortable as thousands of ants biting bones.
The highest state of drinking was that one slightly drunk. It was a simple and just right state. As long as a person who liked drinking, he would not do it.
In a corner of a tavern, a man curled his body who was drinking. He drank one after another until the world seemed was rotating. He was Hal.
Since he met with Nora last time, Hal, who knew the truth, was totally two different people in day and night. He was energetic in the daytime and drunk to death at night.
He didn't drink with his colleagues or friends. He was alone. He was afraid that others will uncover his scars. That feeling must be very painful.
Every night when he came back home, he would lie on the bed alone after midnight to persuade himself. His wounds in heart healed bit by bit, and then tore and healed bit by bit by himself. Hal didn't know when he could really get out of the shadow of this feeling.
He wanted to forget Nora, the past and everything in the past.
In the Sea Rise Group, they checked in and checked out every day. There were full attendance bonus, year-end bonus, and all kinds of benefits. Grace was almost no bad record of being late and leaving early
This was the standard of attendance.
It seemed that she had nothing to do with what happened to her. In other words, she didn't know what was unhappy at all.
She was happy every day. People who knew her in the company called her "Source of Joy".
Everyone in the company was affected by her good mood. As long as she was in the office in the daytime, Hal often wore a smile on his face.
As long as she left the office and went to other departments to collect documents or give them improvement materials, his face would be gloomy and would not be happy.
It turned out that she had the ability to make him happy, find self-confidence and regain himself.
The office was full of laughter as long as she was there. She would tell jokes and make a face from time to time, like a child who wouldn't grow up. No wonder little Hugh liked her.
Hal couldn't help smiling when he saw that Grace had come back from another department. He was as happy as Columbus when he saw the new continent.
She was wearing high heels, and the sound of her walking was so pleasant to hear. Her proud figure and fair skin revealed the charm of a mature woman.☐☐☐☐
