“It’s nothing.” There were a lot of people in the box, customers and people from the company, so he kept the injury to himself, only to feel the burning pain in his arm. But remembering the fragrant smell of her body just now, he inexplicably felt that the pain was much lessened.
…
In the evening Andrea Jones spent some time chatting with Sammy Jones before she went to her room and went to bed early to prepare for her first day of work tomorrow.
After lying down for a few minutes, in the end, I fished my phone out from under my pillow again and made up a message, “I got accepted into the company, thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have gone so well. I hope I can thank you in person sometime!”
She didn’t expect him to reply to her, after all, the message she sent during the last interview was like a stone sinking into the sea, and she never heard back.
She turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and slept peacefully.
…
The other side.
In his cozy bachelor pad, Neal Williams is dressed in a homely outfit, looking much more lazy than he does during the day.
Awkwardly boiling water for instant noodles with his left hand.
In the evening in the colorful Jiangnan a cup of wine to pour down, a little something did not eat, now hungry stomach some can not stand.
The burned right hand is getting redder and redder, and it hurts to move it casually. After listening to her, he did not dare to touch the water.
The water was boiling when the usual cell phone rang, and Neal Williams washed the noodles down before pulling out his phone.
It’s Penny Brown.
This time in France, she had just finished working through the night.
“Neal, are you asleep?” Penny Brown’s tone is always this delicate and soft, sounding like pampering.
“Not yet, cooking noodles.” By contrast, Neal Williams returned a muted response.
“Instant noodles again? Didn’t have a good dinner?” There was obvious worry in the words.
“Well, socializing, it’s rare to have a few bites.” The same shyness of words.
“I told you that you should hire an aunt. All day long, your body can’t survive. If you get really sick later, your aunts and uncles and grandparents will blame me for not taking care of you.”
“I don’t like having strangers coming in and out of my house.” Neal Williams declined her offer.
Penny Brown sighed helplessly, only this way.
What he Neal Williams decided is not for her Penny Brown to change? His place, without his permission, even she, his fiancée, can not come and go at will.
“By the way, you’ve met my brother’s girlfriend?” Penny Brown suddenly remembered this.
“Hmm.” Unconsciously, a clean little face came to mind.
“What do you think of the girl? I trust your vision more than Lewis Brown’s.”
How about it?
Neal Williams stares, thinking about the day’s mishaps. Staring at the flickering fire on the stove, he didn’t say anything for a while.
“Neal, what’s wrong?” Not hearing an answer, Penny Brown asked again on the other end.
In his pocket, another cell phone happened to ring again. He didn’t answer Penny Brown, but took the other phone out with a different hand. He said, “It’s good, Penny Brown, it’s getting late, get some rest.”
“All right then.” Just hang up the phone, Penny Brown is a little reluctant, “In a few days, the film here will be finished, send the finished film to the headquarters and there will be nothing for me to do. By then I can have a lot of time for you.”
Neal Williams didn’t say anything, Penny Brown seems to have gotten used to the two getting along like this. After a pause, he added: “Neal, I miss you so much …”
Not surprisingly, Neal Williams remains silent.
This is how they get along with each other.
From the beginning, it is Penny Brown in the initiative, and he from the beginning to the end is not salty, not to mention that she is his girlfriend. Even the engagement was facilitated by the elders of both families.
The Williams family and the Nguyen family are close friends, and Penny Brown is very popular with the elders. Last year, the old man suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage in bed and his life was hanging by a thread, the old man’s heart remembered Neal Williams’ marriage, Beck Williams had to take the initiative to help his son to settle the marriage. So, it became such a situation now.
After hanging up with Penny Brown, Neal Williams returned Andrea Jones’ message.
Ben just a short ‘Congratulations! Two words. He looked at it, feeling that it was too perfunctory, and added a few words slowly with his left hand, “This is your strength, and I am at best the icing on the cake. If you need anything in the future, you can still look for me.”
Watching her say she wanted to thank herself in person, she couldn’t help but feel a little funny.
What would her reaction be if she knew it was him on the other end?
The message went back until Neal Williams fished out the accidentally cooked noodles one by one and ate them clean, and there was no more movement from the phone.
…
The following day, early in the morning.
The alarm clock went off and Andrea Jones opened her eyes, confused, and turned her phone on. A glance at the message rushing in, a smile floated on the small face. Early in the morning, the mood is unusually good.
Changing into her suit and tying her long hair behind her head, she exited her room while yelling, “Mom! Mom!”
“It’s early in the morning, making a lot of noise. You’re so old and still acting like a child.” Charleen Davis came out of the kitchen with her porridge, laughing at her daughter as she did so.
“Mom, do you have any more of that burn cream that you haven’t removed? Give me one.”
“What do you need that for?” Sammy Jones came out of the bedroom with a lazy yawn and looked over at Andrea Jones, “Burning?”
“Not me, well … is considered a friend!” Actually, it’s someone who is not even a friend.
“There are a few more, I’ll go get them, you guys sit down and eat. Your first day at work, get to work early.” Charleen Davis patted Andrea Jones on the shoulder and turned to go back to her room.
