The Day He Matured

Two years have passed since that horrible accident happened. The news about Brian is still just old articles.

I also stopped looking for information about him, my busy life with making money made me no longer have time for myself, in my free time I just want to lie somewhere and close my eyes to regain my strength.

Last week, I had an appointment to meet a client near the villa and I passed by the villa that once marked the quick love story between him and me.

The gate was still closed, and leaves covered the yard, looking extremely dreary, and somber.

Maybe he has no intention of coming back to this place because if he did, he would have hired someone to clean.

Two years is not a short time, I believe he has fully recovered.

It’s Sunday, so I allow myself to get some more sleep before I get up and find a way to convince the clients I’ve scheduled to see next week.

Although Richard invited me to his company to work as an accountant, a profession that matches my current expertise, I refused.

I don’t want to hang around too much in his life, causing him to see only me and not see many other kind, talented and beautiful girls.

Moreover, I chose to work at AD real estate company because the opportunity to earn a lot of money is very high.

As long as I sell a few apartments in a year, I can eat and drink, buy clothes, and don’t worry when the landlady gives me receipts for accommodation, electricity, water, and wifi.

Although I know that Richard can still pay me a high salary, how can I receive money from him while my capacity is limited?

It’s not fair for an accountant to earn a salary as a chief accountant.

“I’m listening, Richard.” I yawned and replied as soon as I picked up the phone.

“Later, I will take you to my house for lunch, my mother shows off her cooking skills and wants to invite you and Caily to have a meal.”

Richard’s warm voice made me want to lie down and sleep again.

– Okay.

Throwing the phone into the mess of pillows and blankets, I continued to curl up on the bed, enjoying the moments in the warm blanket. However, the incoming call from Caily successfully pulled me straight to the bathroom.

I still remember the day when I moved out of Caily’s inn, she cried like rain. I am also very sad but this is the most convenient option for me.

The house I rent is near AD company, it takes five minutes to take the bus and half an hour to walk.

Moreover, I often go out to eat with customers, many nights I don’t come back until one o’clock in the morning, so I will disturb Caily. And most importantly, I need to have my own space to fulfill my dreams.

For nearly two years now, I have been studying fashion design courses diligently. Outside of work at the company, I try to fulfill the dream that I always cherish.

The dresses made by my imperfect hands are enthusiastically received by everyone when they are displayed at the shop at the top of the alley.

However, my hands work very slowly, so I do not dare to accept orders from the store. After sewing any dress, I give them that dress, I am not brave enough to buy more machines and hire workers to make it for me.

Less than ten o’clock, Richard appeared in front of my house. When he does not come to the company, does not meet customers, he does not care for his appearance.

The loose hair, a little messy when the wind blows through, and that smile reminds me of the peaceful days of the year I just entered the tenth grade.

Youth is always the most beautiful time, isn’t it?

“For you.” I grabbed his hand and put the box in it.

“What day is it today? Is today my birthday?” Richard looked at me in bewilderment.

“No. This is a men’s shirt. The first men’s shirt that I sewed. So far, I only sew women’s dresses, so I can’t give it to you. Now I’m breaking into the field of men’s fashion.”

“It’s an honor for me, I will wear it often.” His eyes lit up, joy evident on his handsome face.

We quickly got in the car and moved to Caily’s inn.

I don’t know if my eyes are blurred or because my mind has not woken up, but the moment the car passed the shopping center, I suddenly saw Brian.

The tall figure in the pure white shirt that almost glowed in the bright noonday sun was very similar to him.

“Richard, I had a phone conversation with your mother the other day. Your mother… really wants to have a daughter-in-law. You…”

“If the object is you, I will hold the wedding tomorrow.”

“What? I’m saying it seriously.”

“I am also very serious.”

This man is really stubborn. Every time I tried to help his mother pass her word to him, the result was the same.

The two of us were so close that when I heard him say that, I wasn’t embarrassed, shy, or blushing anymore.

If he had said so, then I would have left him to fate.

Somewhere on this earth, there’s definitely a half for him and a half for me. There are people who don’t get married until they are fifty years old.

Maybe he and I will have a wedding with someone at a time when we’re both walking with canes, trembling and hunched over.

“Why are you sighing?” Richard changed lanes and asked while his eyes were still attentively observing ahead.

“My former director has been transferred to another department. I don’t know what kind of person the new boss is, is he upset or not.”

“Don’t worry too much. If employees do their job well, every boss is satisfied.”

“A big boss said.”

After the next sentence from me, Richard burst into laughter.

He’s right, I just need to do my job well. Is it okay if I sell three apartments in one year?

I still remember the first year, I walked so much that my legs were tired, and I talked so much that my throat was dry, but I only sold an apartment to an elderly couple.

However, the business director praised me with all his words, encouraged me, and rewarded me. As a result, this year, I have sold three apartments and am preparing to make a contract to sell the fourth apartment.

When we arrived, we saw Caily waiting. As soon as the car stopped, she immediately opened the car door and got in.

That haggard face is enough for me to understand how much she drank last night.

Because that party was her boss’s birthday party, she couldn’t help but be enthusiastic.

“Maybe I have to find another job, alcohol has ruined this body.” Caily leaned forward, rubbing her face against my shoulder, lamenting.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Please apply to AD company to work as a salesperson.” I quickly suggested.

“Stop, stop, I don’t work as a salesperson anymore, that job requires drinking alcohol. I want to be a receptionist, just standing all day at the counter, not having to cuddle with girls-loving directors. Any man who climbs up to the position of director shows the same face of liking girls.”

Yes, Caily’s words are not wrong. Most of the directors of companies that I have met share the same trait of liking girls.

After all, she and I assume that men with high status and power will like girls, sometimes we talk about this but forget that the man next to us is also the director of a famous company.

“Except for Mr. Richard.” I shyly looked at the person next to me and smiled wryly.

“I also like girls. You don’t need to be a director, a normal, healthy, psychologically good man will like girls.”

Does Richard need to be so forthright? It seems that I worry too much, he doesn’t feel hurt when Caily gathers him in the crowd of men who are infatuated with girls.

However, I know that the girl he likes is me, unlike them, infatuated with many girls at once, any young beautiful, and hot girl will make them fall in love.

The car drove at a fairly fast speed and then slowed down and turned into the large gate.

The business of MK company is growing, so Richard also invests more in a house.

The three-storey house has now been replaced by a spacious villa. He bought the land of the two houses on both sides and expanded the surrounding campus, decorated with beautiful miniatures.

Looking at the table full of food, I almost fainted. A hearty meal, full of seafood, big crabs, big shrimp, sweet snail, and grilled frogfish.

While I was gaping, Richard suddenly approached me with a birthday cake, and his mother and Caily simultaneously clapped and sang the song “Happy Birthday To You”.

“Pray and blow out the candles.” Richard put the birthday cake down in front of me, and softly spoke.

I didn’t say a word, nodded rapidly, clasped my hands, closed my eyes, prayed, then blew out the candles.

This prayer is for the three of them, I pray for them to have a peaceful and happy life.

I don’t even remember today being the day I was born. Tears of happiness rolling down my cheeks were quickly dried by Richard’s beautiful hands.

I owe his favor too much and have not had the opportunity to repay it because he originally has nothing to ask for my help.

“Thank you, ma’am. Thank you, Mr. Richard. Thank you, Caily.” I looked at each person and spoke in turn.

Happy moments with them are medicine to ease the pain of the past, relieve the hardships that I have to face in daily life and give me a lot of motivation to look forward to the future.

Life has favored me a lot, let me meet Richard and Caily again, I should also stop complaining about the broken love.
