“Is this the home of Miss Mitchell, there is your mail.” The courier boy took off his hat and kept agitating up and down, the weather was too hot, feeling as if the whole person was going to melt away if he stayed outside for one more second.
Skyler only pushed the door open a small gap, just open it and feel the heat, outside the little brother to a kraft paper wrapped bag to her hand a plug and hurried away, this is his last delivery today, hurry up and finish so early home ah.
The strange thing is that the sender’s address is City M, and this Miss Mitchell obviously also lives in City M. It’s the same city, so what’s the need to send a courier?
The kraft paper bag was shoved into Skyler’s hand, she was also very strange, she did not buy anything online, how the sun was going down this time there is her delivery ah?
She pulled along the opening of the kraft paper left and right, and the contents were revealed. Inside a layer of bubble wrap was a perfectly normal envelope, which was wrapped tightly so that nothing was damaged and placed flat and tidy in front of Skyler.
The envelope reads ‘To Miss Mitchell’ in black pen and ink with panache, not quite directly as ‘To Skyler’ but using her last name, which is neither awkward nor impolite.
In fact, the second she received the letter and saw the four words, she already had a number in her heart about who had written the question.
She opened the envelope and inside was a red invitation, not in general print either, but handwritten, with the general content of the invitation wanting her to be his teammate for the game.
Skyler’s mouth raised in a smile, this is the exclusive competition for people who love taekwondo, she naturally want to go, not to mention the partner is that in the sparring has developed a sympathetic feeling Stephen.
Her impression of Stephen was always framed in the image of him as an uncompromisingly promiscuous aristocrat, but since talking to him, she has found him to be an energetic and enthusiastic person who acts with humor and panache.
Perhaps he was a playboy before, but she can now fully understand that it belonged to his youthful frivolity.
She and Stephen were born in the same year, and it is because of this that the two parents had the intention of joining together, but the order of appearance of everyone in life is important, and she met Leon first, so it was Leon who was with her.
Skyler carefully received the hand-copied invitation into the second drawer of her dressing table, but instead of closing the drawer properly, she stared at the To Miss Mitchell on the envelope and froze, what was wrong with her, was she regretting her refusal at the time?
How now her heart, if there seems to be more than one person’s position, and that person’s position, there should not have been ah!
There was a click, the sound of a key turning in the eye of the door, and she hurriedly closed the drawer, and Leon’s voice at the door was carried into her ears by the flowing air.
“I’m back, Skyler, where are you? I’m telling you, the boss went to see the chairman of Gale Technologies, and guess who it is? I’m telling you, you won’t be able to guess …,” Leon said as he stood at the door while changing his shoes.
The chairman of Gale Technologies? Did Brayden meet Stephen’s dad? That’s not true. Isn’t his father always abroad? It’s impossible to come back, did Brayden and Stephen meet?
She was alone in her heart silently thinking, almost to ask this question, but fortunately Leon just walked over, he made a mysterious skirt, look at Skyler face can not wait to know the look before telling her.
“It’s that Jayden!” Leon put his hands around his chest: “I really didn’t expect him to have anything to do with Gale Technologies, hey, the point is that he told the boss that Gale Technologies’ aim is the whole Kirkland Group, is to annex the whole Kirkland Group!!! ”
Phew, fortunately not Stephen, just now is really too nervous, she forgot that no one knows Stephen except her, no no, now the focus should be on what Leon is talking about.
Brayden’s company is in a big crisis, why can’t she always focus on this matter, why does she always think of Stephen in her mind?
“Then we have to help Brayden through the difficult time ah, you tell Brayden, there is anything we can help where possible to ask, we and my father’s side will definitely help.” The official words sounded very perfunctory to her, but Leon sounded very heartfelt to people like him.
He dragged his body and was about to lunge at Skyler, but the next moment Skyler did something that even he didn’t expect, she actually reached out and separated herself and Leon in time, and smiled and pretended to be angry and told him, “It’s so hot, and you don’t know how much you’ve sweated, and you haven’t showered yet.”
Leon scratched the back of his head with embarrassment and smiled as he hooked his hand and apologized to her while drawing clothes from the closet and telling her I’ll go take a shower soon.
It wasn’t until she heard the bathroom door close that she sat down on the big Simmons bed in a disheveled heap. Her fingers crossed restlessly back and forth, her life had never been so confused as it was now.
Simple as Leon, did not find her abnormal these days, but she knew that even if she concealed Leon, she could not conceal her heart, there is change is change, and it is a change that can not be erased and changed.
Outside the window is a dark night sky, between the branches of the trees or the roots of the grass comes a crisp frog song, through a small window to the room.
She looked at the world at night, and somehow the window of the house turned into the window of her red Bentley, as if she was sitting in the driver’s seat, and outside the window was Stephen with a hopeless face, his lips opening and closing up and down, telling her that good dogs don’t get in the way, and good cars don’t stop the road.
I don’t know how long it took for the face that was written in front of me to disappear into the blanket of night, she was still in the comfort of her own house, sitting on her own big bed, rather than on a narrow lane that could only accommodate a car, it was quiet around, no one was talking, only the sound of frogs outside the window.
