When Eli Wayne saw Stella Grace exit the train station, she waved her hand and shouted happily, “Stella, I’m here.”
Stella smiled when she saw Eli.
They hadn’t seen each other for almost half a year, but Eli was still as lively and cheerful as before.
She walked towards Eli.
Eli took her luggage and put it in the car boot. “Stella, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You look prettier.”
“You’re too sweet, I feel like I’m eating honey every day when I’m with you. You look more beautiful too.” They hugged.
“Then why do you still want to go to Sun City?” Eli asked regretfully.
The spark in Stella’s eyes dimmed. “You will never know your ability if you don’t give it a try.”
Eli was amused. “Thank you for comforting me. You can sleep at my place today. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
“Okay.” Stella got in the car, fastened her seat belt, and looked out of the window.
This city had not changed much.
“You’re really heartless. You didn’t contact me after leaving the hospital. I’m so sad. I thought I had no friends,” Eli said.
“You are my best friend. It’s just that there were too many things to do, I was not able to contact you,” Stella said comfortingly.
“When will you be transferred back here? I miss you so much. You’d better not go back to Sun City after New Year.”
Jasper Milton had already replaced her as the commander. Even if he didn’t want to be the commander, he would assign a person who was capable to take charge of the team.
She really didn’t need to go back.
Stella leaned against the window and looked at Eli. “By the way, what about you? Have you found a boyfriend?”
“Hey, I entered the military region with the hope of finding a boyfriend.
But f*ck, there is a strict leader in the military region. She always orders me to do everything.
My officer looks just about average, besides that, I only see a lot of guys with tanned skin.
The point is I haven’t seen any good-looking guys. I thought guys from special military service were supposed to be handsome,”
Eli moaned regretfully.
Stella smiled, amused. “Sean Yaleman is quite handsome.”
“No, that guy only has a good appearance,” Eli disagreed.
“So, you appreciate inner beauty?” Stella joked.
“I need to have a chance to know their inner beauty!
The requirements in the military region were very high, and it was impossible to enter many places without permission.
They seemed to be very busy with their work. For now, I can only get in touch with the bottom-level colleagues.
Point is, I don’t have a chance to communicate with them at all.
There is a hierarchy in the military team. For example, even though we’re in the same military region, it’s still difficult for me to see Jasper, let alone talk to him,” Eli complained.
“That’s just the way it is. You’ll get used to it,” Stella said.
Eli glanced at her and wanted to ask about Jasper.
But she sensed that Stella didn’t want to talk about him, so she didn’t say anything.
In a short while.
Eli brought Stella to a new restaurant.
Eli got out of the car and introduced the restaurant. “This place is famous now. The only Michelin 3-star restaurant in A City. People usually need to reserve a table half a month in advance.”
“It seems that you are not an ordinary person,” Stella commented.
Eli walked in with Stella. “It isn’t like that. I made a reservation half a month ago. I planned to come alone. Coincidentally, you came back at the right time so I thought I would bring you here.”
Stella smiled gently.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and there was a long queue at the entrance as well.
The business was very good.
Eli gave the waiter the last 4 digits of her phone number and followed her to their table.
Stella picked up the menu and ordered five dishes, Eli ordered six.
“We ordered a lot, is there anyone joining us?” Stella asked curiously.
“No, I eat at the canteen in the military region every day. It’s not easy to have fun outside, so I must have a feast.
By the way, did I mention I work there because I thought it was an easy task?
Apparently not. There is no surgery to be done but there are a lot of trivial things. They often start missions at midnight. Unfortunately, I often get the night shift. They send me so many injured people.
Point is, I have to sit for the examination and stuff like that. I heard someone said that doctors also have to follow the soldiers when they carry out the missions.
I feel like I’m stuck in a trap,” Eli lamented.
“Don’t worry. They only choose outstanding doctors to join their operations. They won’t bring you there to cause them trouble,” Stella joked.
“I agree with you. Katty is still training with the soldiers every day, meanwhile, I stay in and enjoy the cool air in the room. I will never go out for training.”
Eli talked a lot. She talked about her life working in the military region, about her ex-colleagues, and about her college life.
“Have you found a boyfriend in Sun City?” Eli asked curiously.
Stella shook her head. “After Jasper, I don’t think I can be with anyone else. I’ll just end up hurting them if I do. Staying single is the best option right now.”
Eli held her hand and comforted her. “Stella, you’re such a kind girl. Besides, your educational background is good and you have a high IQ, plus you have a beautiful face and a good figure. In addition, you’re gentle and you can do household chores. You are always considerate of others. You’re so flawless, you’ll definitely find a good man.”
“You’re making me feel proud of myself. Why didn’t I know that I had so many strengths?” Stella wondered.
“I’m so happy to see you today. Let’s have a drink, okay?” Eli said playfully.
“Okay, it’s on me.”
“Forget it. I know how much you earn. Waiter!” Eli called.
“I’ve made a lot of money working in Sun City because I transferred from A City. They will not treat me poorly. I got more than a hundred thousand dollars for the year-end bonus. I also lived in a six-star presidential suite,” Stella explained.
“Wow, I’m amazed. A presidential suite! I’m staying in a dormitory in the military region. What’s worse is the double-decker bed. My salary is less than 100, 000 dollars for half a year’s work. I want to be an inspector like you.” Eli scratched her head and felt even more depressed.
“You don’t know something is a blessing until you lose it. You will realize after you have tried. Don’t be regretful. You can always change your life,” Stella said meaningfully.
“Yes, I have to apply to be an inspector as soon as possible. I still want to follow you. We do almost everything together.” Eli held Stella’s hand tightly.
Stella smiled.
Her smile was bright, like a clear spring, exuding comfort. Yet, at the same time, there was a certain sadness.
A man’s voice rang out behind her. “Hey, you’re here!”
Stella turned towards the voice.
It was the man she met on the train, Greg Miles.
“Twice in one day. We were destined to meet,” Greg smiled.
“Destiny isn’t always a good thing,” Stella retorted bluntly.
” I agree. Just like how I know the secret of the guy who stayed with you on the train.”
