The Day He Matured

When the sun fell and the working hours ended, I finished the open letter.

Although I knew Brian was about to go home, I still knocked on the door, entered the room, and put it down in front of him.

“Do you have difficulty in using the keyboard?” Brian picked up the paper, glanced at it briefly, and asked.

“Before, most of the time I went out to meet customers. The records are made according to the available form, just change the name and customer information, so I don’t use the computer much. I… I can’t remember the position of the letters.”

“Then you should practice more.”

After giving me advice, Brian took his briefcase and went straight.

When I was the only one left in the room, I burst into laughter. If I told him that my fingers were broken so I typed slowly, what would he do?

Is he sad because of me? Or will he think that I deserved to be hurt like that?

After tidying up the desk, I was about to leave when Caily called.

She asked me to have dinner together, told me not to go home, just stood at the company’s gate, waited for her to catch a taxi, and then went together.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though I’m not in a good mood and I just want to be alone right now, I still accept the offer.

Anyway, I only ate a box of crab soup today, so my stomach was already hungry. Moreover, Caily is my dear friend, now that she is so excited, how can I disappoint her?

“Bella.”

The sudden voice made me almost drop my phone. Turns out the person calling my name was Harold.

Perhaps he has just returned from somewhere, on his body is an elegant branded suit, and neatly combed hair, he looks extremely masculine and attractive.

Harold and Brian are both elves, not mortals.

“General… Ah, Mr. Harold. Did you just come back from work?”

“Yes. I came here to see if the lovely girl was asked to work overtime by her boss. If yes, I will help.”

I laughed when I heard his funny words. My heart suddenly fluttered because I was noticed by someone in authority.

I’m really happy that I can be friends with Harold, but it seems that I shouldn’t get too close to him lest Brian has an excuse to say sarcastic words.

“I finished my assignment today. I’m getting ready to go home.”

“Let’s go to dinner. A friend of mine repatriated and opened a small restaurant selling spicy noodles and fried fish balls. He wanted me to come to the restaurant to attend his opening, but if I go alone, there are too few people, and here I don’t know anyone to invite them to come along. I can’t ask the old men upstairs to eat children’s food.” Harold grabbed my hand and said in a pleading voice.

Oh my god, suddenly he mentioned the names of those dishes, making me salivate.

The fried fishball skewers have always had a strong appeal to me, more than the pearl necklace. But I still have to go eat with Caily.

“I’m sorry. But I have an appointment to eat with my friend.”

“No problem. Invite your friends to go with us, the more people the merrier. The restaurant also has many other dishes.”

This enthusiasm made it difficult for me to refuse. However, I still respected Caily, took the phone to call her, told her about Harold’s invitation, and as I predicted, the wide-mouthed girl immediately accepted.

“I only invited one girlfriend.” I looked at him and said softly.

“Let’s go.”

Yesterday’s scene was repeated, maybe just different time frames and different costumes. Harold and I walked along the deserted corridor and entered the elevator together.

His scent is also fragrant, and very masculine, but with a faint smell of sandalwood, not the minty scent like Brian.

I still love the mint scent. Ah, I suddenly realized that since the day I met my old lover, he always wears a monotonous white shirt, no other color.

Because it didn’t rain, I went straight to the security post, waited for Harold, and also waited for Caily. Just now, she said she was going to be here soon.

Looking at the middle-aged man chewing a cake, I suddenly remembered the nights when I brought late-night food to Brian.

He also likes this cake very much, he has eaten it for many years without getting bored. Once, because he sulked at me, he said he was bored with it, but after that, he still ate it like every day.

“Would you like some cake?” The security guard gave me a cake and asked.

I did not refuse, took it, ripped the shell, and put it in my mouth. It’s been a long time, I almost forgot about this brand of cake.

The sweetness gradually melted in my mouth, reminding me of the love that used to be so smooth, sweet, and passionate.

“Last night the sales manager gave us a big bag of cakes. He brought a bag of cakes and drinks to the company, then brought it out and gave it to us. There were some delicious salted egg sandwiches, but we ate them all.”

“New or old sales manager?” I looked at him and asked.

“The new director, Mr. Brian.”

I was going to ask him what time Brian arrived at the company, but because Harold’s car stopped right in front of me, I didn’t ask.

Could it be that Brian bought me a bag of cakes? Could it be that he came and saw that Harold was next to me, so he was angry today?

Probably not. Why am I so confident to think so? How can I think that Brian still loves me after giving him a big wound in the past?

“I will sit in the back seat because I have a friend.” I approached the car door and spoke up.

“Okay. You can sit wherever you want. Don’t worry about the placement of my car. We are friends, not bosses and employees.”

When I was with Harold, I gradually felt as comfortable as when I was with Richard.

Neither of them gave me any pressure. Warm smiles are always on their lips.

As soon as the car came out of the gate, the taxi had just dropped Caily down.

I opened the car door and waved to my friend. And as fast as lightning, Caily ran to the car, climbed in, and sat next to me.

Her eyes didn’t stop tracking the back of the man in the driver’s seat.

“Mr. Harold, this is my friend, her name is Caily.” I quickly introduced Caily to him.

“Hello, Caily, my name is Harold. Nice to meet you.”

“Yes, hello. I don’t think one day I’ll meet you in real life, not in newspapers or on television.”

Her sincere words made Harold burst into laughter. He said that actually, he was just like us, nothing worth idolizing.

He said he still has bad habits and still has problems he can’t grasp and handle well.

And the example he gave to demonstrate was the purchase of shares of Milan group, which caused Hana group to lose a large amount of money two years ago.

“Too many people.” Caily exclaimed as soon as the car stopped.

“Yes. The restaurant opened today, there was a promotion, so there were a lot of customers.” Harold nodded and cheerfully replied.

Because the handsome, rich general manager enthusiastically recommended spicy noodles, Caily and I ordered a special bowl of spicy noodles, and lots of seafood, but the spicy level is for preschoolers.

I like spicy food, but I don’t want to cry while eating in front of handsome guys. I think Caily has the same thoughts as me. We need to preserve our image a bit.

Next, we ordered fried fish balls, mixed rice paper, fried corn with butter, and lots of snacks.

I have to admit that this restaurant sells very good food, which helps my mood to be much better.

We were eating when suddenly a fat guy approached us. I looked at him with wide eyes and Caily hurriedly said hello.

When I heard her call his name, I remembered that the man she kicked to the point of being hospitalized was also named Leo. I don’t know if that person is this person.

Although his face did not have the word “Goat” printed on it, he looked like an old goat.

“Hello, Miss Caily. Ah, I see that this guy looks like the general manager of Hana Corporation, so I want to ask you if he is really…”

“Yes, he is Harold, general manager of Hana Corporation.” Caily proudly introduced.

Leo’s eyes were now like those of a rabid dog. After a few seconds, he quickly looked at Harold and bowed. He looked extremely polite even though he was much older than Harold.

“Great, I didn’t expect I would see you here.”

I saw Leo raise his arm up and down, timidly, trembling. It seems that he wanted to shake Harold’s hand but did not dare to ask.

Harold also seemed to realize, he took the initiative to extend his hand first.

“It turns out that you are an acquaintance of Miss Caily.”

“Yes, yes. The two companies are partners of each other and are supporting each other very enthusiastically. Isn’t that right, Miss Caily?”

Leo looked at Harold and then turned to my friend to find her approval. Caily also nodded to confirm.

Next, Leo expressed his honor when he met Harold as well as his admiration for Harold. I have to admit that Leo’s mouth is really pliable, like marshmallows.

“I really hope in the future, my company will have a little something related to the Hana corporation. Maybe build a few apartments so that I have an excuse to invite you to a meal.” Leo spoke softly.
