The Day He Matured

In the evening, I was sitting at Caily’s house, eating fried fish balls and drinking milk tea with her, when a strange phone number called my phone.

The nature of my job doesn’t distinguish between unfamiliar and familiar phone numbers, so I quickly picked up the phone.

“Excuse me, this is the phone number of Miss Bella Poarch, a sales staff at the AD company, right?” A warm male voice spoke up.

“Ah, yes, it’s me. What do you need, please?”

Because I was afraid to disturb Caily, I signaled her to continue eating, while I went out into the yard.

On the other end of the phone, the man politely introduced himself as Kelvin. He had just returned from abroad and was looking for an apartment for his girlfriend, who was also an international student who had just returned home.

“Price is not an issue, what matters is quality and location. I want her to live near the city center so that it is convenient for her to go to work in the future.” A voice filled with the smell of money rang out, making me feel as happy as if I were participating in a festival.

“Yes, we still have many empty apartments right in the city center. Can you give me an appointment so I can consult more thoroughly?”

The man quickly agreed and made an appointment to see me the next night. He wanted to have dinner with me and talk.

The name Kelvin reminds me of a person, that is Martin.

In the past, I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and Brian, so I knew he had a younger brother who was studying abroad to get a doctorate in France, his name was also Kelvin. Could it be this person?

After a few seconds of thinking, I boldly asked and received the answer as I had guessed.

The person who is talking to me is the second son of the chairman of the First Real Group.

His voice was a little hesitant when he confessed and revealed to me that because this girlfriend was not accepted by his family, he did not dare to buy the apartment sold by First Real Group. He was afraid that he would get in trouble if he was exposed.

“I get it. I will protect your information. Besides, I haven’t seen your brother for a long time. There won’t be any problem. See you tomorrow afternoon.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After hanging up the phone, I didn’t rush into the house but tilted my head up to look up at the sky, where the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, next to the eternally faithful star.

Kelvin is no different from Brian and Harold, right? He is also the son of a tycoon, one of two heirs of a large corporation, and is not allowed to decide on marriage on his own.

I also don’t know where his and that girl’s future will go. As for Naomi and Martin, will they be accepted by the man’s family?

“Is the customer the son of First Real Group?”

Caily’s voice rang out, startling me.

She heard everything, right?

She talked loudly but walked like a cat and didn’t make any noise, so I thought I was the only one sitting here.

Not good, there’s another person who knows Kelvin’s secret.

“What did you hear?” I held Caily’s hand, looked at her with the most sincere eyes, and asked.

“Heard it all, Kelvin is taking care of his girlfriend who is opposed by his family.”

Okay. She heard it all. My security level is almost zero.

After smiling brightly, I begged Caily not to tell anyone about this. Luckily for me, she agreed and to thank her, I made an appointment with her to eat at a barbecue restaurant this weekend.

Another night passed, and I excitedly woke up and prepared to go to the company.

As long as I can sell Kelvin an expensive apartment right in the city center, I won’t need to worry about food costs and rent costs for a year.

The value of the apartment there is extremely large, so the commission I will receive is a lot.

When I got to the sales office, no one had come yet. It was only after seven o’clock, so it was a long time before they arrived.

I took out the package of sticky rice and ate it while printing documents related to apartment buildings that were only for the upper class. I will definitely convince this big customer.

“You’re in a much better mood today, aren’t you?”

Brian’s sudden question caused the song I had just sung to suddenly stop halfway.

He arrived earlier than usual.

Honestly, I don’t want to see his face right now. I will never forgive him because he planned to play with my feelings.

“What’s up? Do you want to see me gloomy and bring a sad face into the company?” I was still focused on the screen and keyboard, not looking at him.

“Bella.”

The sound of paper coming out of the printer and the sound of a stapler still resounding steadily.

I deliberately kept quiet and pretended to concentrate completely on my work, even though I still felt Brian’s eyes staring at me.

“Bella Poarch.” Brian slammed his hand on the printer and loudly called both my first and last name.

“Yes, director.”

I regained my composure and tried to suppress the anger burning in my body. I raised my head and looked straight into Brian’s bloodshot eyes.

He was still playing the role of a faithful, his eyes seemed to be infatuated with me, mixed with anger and sadness. He is commendable.

Even though I knew he was setting a trap for me, the moment I met his eyes, I was heartbroken and moved.

“Please stop. Why do you have to torment me like that? What do you want me to do?” He shouted, his voice reverberating throughout the large room.

“I don’t understand what you want to say, director.”

“Don’t call me director anymore. I don’t want to hear you call me like that.”

The more he doesn’t want to listen, the more I will call him director. I wanted to vent my anger on this title of his.

I almost spoke up to expose that terrible conspiracy. Fortunately, my reason stopped me.

Compared to letting him know that his plan was discovered by me, I would rather let him experience the feeling of failure.

“Then you resign or fire me. You are now the sales manager, my direct boss. What do you think I should call you? Calling you by your name, Brian? Or should I call you my lover?”

“You… what’s wrong with you? The accident that year caused you to have a traumatic brain injury, right?” His voice was soft, trembling, very small.

“Crazy.” I shouted loudly.

After I finished shouting, I hurriedly took the documents I had just printed and put them in a paper bag. I needed to get out of this place, at least until everyone showed up.

However, as soon as I turned my head, a scene caught my eye that made me raise my hand to cover my mouth.

Since when have they been standing there? Looking at the strange expressions on those faces, I guess they heard my yelling.

Oh, the nickname of the gentle, lovely, most polite girl in the sales department officially said goodbye to me, put on a hat, and left today, at this very moment.

While I didn’t know where to hide, Brian grabbed my hand and dragged me into his room.

The moment the door closed, he suddenly hugged me tightly, resting his head in the crook of my neck even though I was trying my best to resist.

“Bella, I know I’m not good, I know I hurt you when we just met again. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Let’s start over from scratch. Let’s love each other again.”

Fortunately, the curtain was lowered. If the staff outside saw this, I’d probably die.

This guy must be going crazy when he sees his prey about to fall into a trap but suddenly turns in the other direction. This is exactly what I want to see. I’m really satisfied.

I have to thank Harold very much, thanks to him I escaped a love trap full of iron hooks.

“Let go of me, let me go.”

I struggled fiercely for a long time, and then Brian also loosened his grip. However, that was just the beginning of the kiss without warning.

His lips are glued to mine, his arms tightening around me. He placed one hand behind my waist, and the other behind my neck, not giving me a chance to refuse.

The soft, wet feeling from the hot lips of the man I loved so much gave me no sweetness, only bitterness. I was helpless in the face of this possessive and destructive kiss.

The moment my lips were separated by Brian, my tears also flowed. Why did he have to do this? To me, this is an insult.

“Bella, why are you crying?”

Perhaps he felt the bitter taste of my tears, so he quickly left my lips.

Tears made his image in my eyes fade. I couldn’t clearly see the expression on the face opposite me.

“Isn’t this what you want to see?” I raised my hands and quickly wiped my wet eyes.

“Why do you keep saying such incomprehensible words?”

“Of course, you can’t understand, the language of the poor cannot be understood by a rich person like you.”

As soon as I said that, I yanked the clasp of the bracelet and let it fall freely in front of him.

The sound of the collision between the floor and the expensive jewelry echoed clearly.

The moment I turned my back, I could still see the stunned look on that handsome face.

Although I like money, I will never sell my love for it. It’s because I have feelings for him that I received this jewelry.

That ring and other old jewelry will be returned to him soon.
