This whole thing has beco even more mysterious...
She hopes Chester can find out.
Rebecca Quentin decided not to think about this issue anymore. She lay down and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
However...
"Yuan’s one-year-old birthday party will be held in early next month. I hope you don’t co under any pretext to see Yuan because I don’t want to see you anymore."
Howard Geoffrey’s words suddenly rushed into her mind, making her eyes snap open.
Dazed for a few seconds, she sat up.
Pulling off the blanket, she got out of bed.
She walked to the suitcase from her business trip and took out a delicately wrapped box...
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she opened the box.
Yes, it was that crystal globe...
She pulled out the piece of paper again, seeing the black ink still vividly clear.
She didn’t want to deny it: seven years of emotions cannot be forgotten in just half a year. That’s why she kept this crystal globe with her.
eting him unexpectedly, seeing his indifferent attitude at the party felt like this was how their lives would be. But she didn’t expect what happened last night.
He is such a clever person; surely he knew whether sothing unusual happened last night and understood her nature?
So, him coming to find her was rely to insult her...
After a long ti, Rebecca Quentin put the crystal globe back into the box and tucked it into the hotel nightstand drawer.
Looking at the closed drawer, she felt relieved and smiled lightly.
She lay back down on the bed, and this ti, she peacefully fell asleep.
At night, Chester Robinson and Rebecca Quentin stood in the hotel lobby.
The front desk staff were handling their checkout.
Both Chester Robinson and Rebecca Quentin waited patiently.
At this mont, a receptionist on the phone with the cleaning staff suddenly turned to Rebecca Quentin and said, "Miss, the cleaning lady said you left sothing in the bedside drawer. She has sent soone to retrieve it, please wait."
Rebecca Quentin responded with a smile, "Oh, I don’t need to wait for that. I don’t want it."
Chester Robinson asked, "What is it? You better check it thoroughly so you don’t actually leave sothing behind."
Rebecca Quentin smiled and shook her head, "Anything left behind must be unimportant."
"Alright."
The receptionist promptly handed the docunts to Chester Robinson, saying respectfully, "Okay... the room has been checked out. Have a good trip, we look forward to your next visit."
Walking towards the hotel door, Rebecca Quentin smiled at Chester Robinson beside her and said, "Everyone says Paris is the city of romance, but we didn’t have any ti to explore this trip..."
Chester Robinson pulled Rebecca Quentin’s suitcase, smiled and nodded, "Then let’s co again next ti, I’ll be your guide."
"Sounds great..."
The two talked and laughed as they walked out of the hotel together.
After returning to T City, Rebecca Quentin’s life returned to a busy and tense state.
She beca more and more familiar with interior design and decoration, and her work at "QCS" was getting smoother. Lately, she started learning design from designers.
Although design is difficult to learn, she was very interested, and many designers complinted her on her talent for design.
This greatly boosted her confidence, and she stayed late at the company for several nights working on design plans while accompanying colleagues working overti.
"Ugh, my shoulders are about to break... Secretary Quentin, I’ve finished designing. Please take it to Manager Smith for review tomorrow!"
A tired female colleague leaned against her chair, patting her sore shoulder.
Rebecca Quentin focused on her drawings and nodded, "Okay."
The colleague began tidying her desk, "I’m heading ho now, want to co along?"
Rebecca Quentin kept her head down, "No, I’ll go ho after finishing this design."
"Alright then, make sure to go ho early and rest. It’s already exhausting working during the day, yet you still tire yourself out at night..."
Rebecca Quentin smiled and replied, "I just want to quickly learn design!"
"Okay, I’m off now..."
"Mm, bye-bye."
She didn’t know how long had passed, but finally, Rebecca Quentin completed the design draft and tiredly put down the ruler and pen in her hand.
Looking at the draft she had created, Rebecca was very satisfied and smiled.
After completing the draft, Rebecca Quentin looked around and realized all her colleagues who worked overti had left.
She glanced at the ti and was shocked.
Heavens, it was almost eleven o’clock...
She hurriedly started packing her things, annoyed that she muttered, "Gee, I can’t catch a taxi now, how will I get ho..."
Desperately pressing the elevator button, and as soon she heard the "ding" of the elevator opening, Rebecca Quentin dashed inside.
Not expecting anyone would be so late, Rebecca Quentin unexpectedly bumped into soone in the elevator.
Bang—
Rebecca Quentin rubbed her forehead that had bumped into the chest of soone, lifting her gaze to apologize, she found the shirt very familiar...
Indeed, a familiar male voice spoke, "Staying alone in the company this late, aren’t you worried about encountering bad people?"
Rebecca Quentin excitedly exclaid, "Doctor Robinson!!"
Chester Robinson smiled, "I just got back from the hospital, passed your company building, saw the lights still on on your floor, knew it must be that you hadn’t left, so I ca to pick you up."
"Doctor Robinson, you are really amazing, I genuinely feel that you always appear right when I need it!"
That statent wasn’t exaggerated at all.
Chester Robinson closed the elevator door softly, "Let’s go ho... Don’t stay late at the company next ti. Although T City has good security, it’s still risky, and you’ll hardly catch a cab either."
Rebecca Quentin sheepishly said, "I know, tonight I just lost track of ti!"
Sitting in Chester Robinson’s car, Rebecca Quentin was already tired and rested against the seat.
Chester Robinson glanced at Rebecca Quentin through the rearview mirror, gently admonishing, "Next ti, don’t let yourself get so worn out. Your health isn’t that great. Even for work’s sake, don’t ignore your body..."
Rebecca Quentin nodded slightly, "I just want to learn a skill so I can support myself in the future, I can’t be a secretary all my life."
Chester Robinson disagreed, "Support yourself in the future? Haven’t you thought about a partner?"
Rebecca Quentin murmured, "A partner, huh, I haven’t actually thought about that yet...I feel pretty good being single, busy with work, it’s fulfilling."
"Or maybe you haven’t moved on from the past."
Chester Robinson suddenly brought up such a topic.
