“I wasn’t wrong.”
“Indeed.”
Rosalind and Ulric looked at each other and then burst into laughter simultaneously.
He suddenly tightened his arm slightly and asked softly, “If you had known it was me who wrote you the love letter back then, would you have read it?”
Rosalind was taken aback. This question really required some thought.
At that time, she could never have imagined that the school hunk, Ulric, would have a crush on her!
He was the most handsome boy in the school. His grades were among the top in their year. His family background was so prestigious that even the principal had to be deferential when speaking to him. For such a perfect person to say he had a crush on her… Rosalind couldn’t dare to think about it!
Moreover, Ulric was very aloof back then. He wasn’t enthusiastic, always keeping people at bay. His indifference was even more intense than hers! Besides the necessary communication between desk mates, he didn’t say an extra word.
“I might have thought you were teasing me, but your personality doesn’t seem like one that would tease others.” Rosalind still couldn’t imagine how she would have reacted back then.
In any case… she wouldn’t agree to date him.
During middle school, it was the period when her mother was undergoing her second surgery. Rosalind was desperate to earn money and spent all her spare time working. If she had any free time left, she devoted it to studying.
Falling in love was not something that fit into her life.
“So it’s better if you didn’t read it.”
Ulric once thought that writing a love letter to Rosalind was the most foolish and embarrassing thing he had ever done.
Now he felt relieved that Rosalind didn’t read it.
Back then, he still had a teenage mindset and didn’t consider things as thoroughly as he did now. Even if she had agreed, they might have broken up due to her sensitivity during their relationship.
It was better for both of them to grow up and be mature before talking about relationships. Now, he felt more confident about their future.
“Ulric, did you only ever have a crush on me?”
Rosalind hesitated before asking this question.
She felt a bit uneasy when she asked it, afraid that Ulric might be annoyed, but she really wanted to know.
After all, there were many years between them with no contact at all!
“Loving one is enough. I’m not into self-torture.”
“What if I had gotten a boyfriend during those years we didn’t see each other? What if I got married? You wouldn’t still be waiting for me, would you?”
Ulric raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly.
“You are the only one who thought we lost contact during those years.”
“Huh?”
“I stayed in our class group chat the whole time. I only left after you did.”
Rosalind thought about it seriously and realized it was true because when she rejoined later, he was no longer there.
“And do you remember when you were hired by Prosperity Holdings?”
“I applied normally! I went through the interview process and waited for HR’s notification.”
“Rosalind, Prosperity Holdings only hired you.”
She was stunned and forgot to close her mouth.
Ulric sighed softly, “Didn’t you ever wonder why Prosperity Holdings held a special recruitment event but only hired one assistant? Didn’t you find it strange that there were no other new hires joining with you?”
Rosalind shook her head. “I’m not very good at communicating with others, so I never asked.”
“If I had known earlier, I would have directly hired you into W Group.”
Maybe… their story could have started a year and a half earlier.
At that time, he feared Rosalind would become suspicious, which was why he had Prosperity Holdings organize the job fair instead of having W Group recruit her directly.
Ulric worried that Rosalind wouldn’t believe she could get through W Group’s hiring process.
