“Michelle, why…”

At this, a great deal of astonishment showed on Olivia’s face.

“Mum, it’s not what you think. We’re just friends. ” He knew his mother had misunderstood their relationship again.

“Really? You said the same words last time. But what happened then? “Scott was the one who loved Olivia. No matter what he did, it was in the past.

For this new man, Olivia felt that things weren’t as simple as she thought. But she didn’t know much about the world of young people, so she had to stand aside and watch.

After dinner, Walter left without staying any longer. After Michelle dismissed him, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned and went up the stairs.

Little did she know, however, that as she turned and walked up the stairs, the white SUV was slowly returning from outside the community.

“Mom, I’m going to work now!”

That was life. She repeated the same thing every day: go to work, eat and sleep. Over time, the regular repetition gradually became a habit.

As soon as they got off the ladder, he saw the SUV door open. Surprised by Walter, Michelle opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, “Walter? Why are you here?

Walter got out of the car with dark circles under his eyes. He hadn’t slept well last night.

“You won’t stay here all night, will you?” Suddenly the thought occurred to me. He asked shyly.

With a silly grin on his face, Walter replied, “No, I woke up early this morning.” He said it on purpose, because he wanted Michelle to feel more comfortable. In fact, he’d been in the car all night. It was the first time I’d ever slept in the car. Whatever position had changed, it wasn’t comfortable.

“Oh I see. I can go to work on my own. You don’t have to pick me up. “Now that she said it, Michelle would feel better. However, she couldn’t get a sure answer from his eyes, but he also knew the purpose of her coming.

“Look, I’m here.” He was afraid she would reject him.

Michelle had no choice but to accept his kindness.

The car was parked at the entrance to the business. All the cars were flashy. There was too much gossip about the people in the car.

“Look! The car’s been changed. I don’t know how many times it’s been replaced. Take a look at it. “

“I’m very curious how on earth she met a man. Doesn’t she even know how to dress? I heard someone saw her communicating with our CEO. “

The crowd stood at the reception and chatted amongst themselves. But his voice was a little loud, which Michelle heard coming in. Without saying a word, he headed for the lift, his head bowed.

The workplace was like a battlefield. There were always people who were intimidated by people.

Not everyone was surprised that Scott hadn’t come into the company today. With such a beautiful woman by his side, how could he want to leave?

However, the F City manager wasn’t sure if he was there for work or for a relationship. Rachel had never been far from Scott.

Sitting in her office, Michelle quickly typed away. Although Scott wasn’t with the company, life had to go on. There was still endless work in his hands.

In fact, everyone could go out for lunch at midday. Of course, they could go home if they stayed close to home. However, she didn’t want to waste any money. It only cost her two dollars to get on the bus and four dollars after she got off. If she went four times a day, the price would be eight dollars. Then you might prefer to go out and buy a plate of beef noodles.

Michelle put the files back on the table and closed the door before leaving. Then she turned and headed for the lift.

But just as he was getting into the lift, his phone rang.

He looked down and saw that it was Walter. “Hello?”

She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. She didn’t know what his purpose was.

“I’m in front of your company building. Do you have time for lunch?”

At this time, Walter was standing in front of the Jiang Group building. He held his mobile phone in his hand and occasionally looked at the position on the top floor of the company as if he saw someone standing there.

After hesitating for a moment, Michelle finally agreed to his request since he was here.

During lunch, they ordered various dishes and a seafood soup at a restaurant near the company.

The food was a bit tasteless for Michelle. It was a shop opened by a northern man, with a mild flavour. Michelle liked the Sichuan style, as her father had been born there. Perhaps she had got used to the food prepared by her mother since she was a child, now she could even say she ate everything spicy.

Seeing that he wasn’t enjoying the meal, Walter asked: “What is it? Are you ill?”

Looking up, she shook her head at him. Then he continued picking up food with chopsticks. Walter had lived abroad since he was a child. I wasn’t used to spicy food. Worse still, he couldn’t stand pepper.

Then he chose food to suit his taste.

After lunch, while he was still free, they went to the café and each ordered a drink. It was a bit hot in C City at the moment. It would be better to have a cold drink.

“Generally speaking, are girls supposed to order tea with milk or something? Do you like to drink lemonade? “Walter didn’t know how to please a girl, so he did his best to be nice to her. At this point he finally found a subject.

“I like pearl milk tea too, but all of a sudden I like sour things lately.” Michelle stirred the lemon juice with a straw, very still.

“Aren’t you busy with your shop?” Michelle looked at him hesitantly.

“It’s my own shop. So I’m free,” Walter said casually.

“That’s true.” In the past, Michelle also wished she could have a shop. In this case, you wouldn’t have to work for other people every day.

Her shop opened when she wanted it to, but closed when she didn’t. She was lost in thought again.

As if Walter could read her mind, she continued, “If you want to open a shop, I can sponsor it.”

Her words undoubtedly struck a chord in Michelle’s heart. But she didn’t want his help.

“Thank you for referring me. Be careful on your way. “With only five minutes to get to work, Michelle’s tone couldn’t help but be a little worried. After saying that, he drove off without looking back.

Sitting in the car and watching her drive away, Walter pulled out his phone and dialled a number. “Scott, go to dinner tonight. It’s my treat. “

After hours, Michelle’s phone rang, preparing her to leave with her purse in hand.

He looked at the caller and muffled his voice directly. She didn’t want to answer it.

She left the company. Fortunately, Walter’s car wasn’t there. She was afraid he’d call her later, so she hurried to the bus stop.

“Michelle!”

As soon as she stopped thinking, Walter’s voice came from behind her.

‘Oh no!” she thought, but stopped walking. Walter walked slowly to the car and leaned forward with half his face exposed. ‘Get in the car,’ he said.

“What? No thanks. I can get a bus home and buy some food. “Without much thought, Michelle rejected him. She was well aware of his kindness.

He doesn’t like such enthusiastic friends.

Besides, he once said he had someone in his heart. Weren’t you afraid the girl would misinterpret you if she did?

“Let’s go.”

Michelle had no choice but to open the door and walk in due to pressure from others. On the way in, Michelle looked out the window and sensed something was wrong.

This was not the way home!

“Where are you taking me, Walter?” Panicking, she put her hands on the back of the chair, her eyes filled with fear.

Walter said nothing. He parked the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine and went to open the back door.

Michelle slowly got out of the car and looked towards the upscale restaurant in front of her. He took her to eat, but she wasn’t interested in the food there.

“Why are you taking me to this place?” At this point, she seemed a little angry. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

“Sorry, I lied to you. But I have a date with my friends. They all have partners. I only know you in this town, so I brought you here. I’ll take you home now if you don’t want to. “Walter was nervous too. I wanted to open the car door.

“There’s no need. Now you’re here, come in. But don’t do it again next time. “Michelle knew he meant no harm, so she simply agreed. Before that, he called his mother and told her not to wait up for him.

After all, Walter was a well-mannered man. When they reached the designated spot, he gently pulled the chair out for her. Michelle didn’t refuse. She walked over and sat down.

It was a small table with only four chairs in the hallway.

“Hello, can I help you?” Just then, a waiter from the shop approached.

After looking at Walter, he opened the menu and read a few types of coffee. Finally, he closed the menu and handed it to the waiter. “Give me a glass of water, thanks.”

As soon as the waiter left, Walter stood up and shouted in the direction of the door, “Scott, over there.”
