Chapter 107
“No…nothing…” the young man quickly shook his head, his face looking strange.
He asked me, “Girl, do you live with your boyfriend? How come I’ve never seen your boyfriend before?”
I paused for a moment and followed his gaze towards the shoe rack.
There were two pairs of shoes belonging to Quentin on top. It was only then that I realized he had mistaken Quentin for my boyfriend.
I instinctively prepared to say that those were Quentin’s shoes.
The young man suddenly took the bowl and said, “Well, girl, I’m going back first, huh.”
“Oh, okay, sure.”
I closed the door, wearing a puzzled expression on my face.
What happened to the young man?
I shook my head with a smile and walked to the kitchen, holding noodles and eggs.
On the way back, I had already watched a video of boiling eggs and noodles. I had basically learned how to do it, only the practical operation was left.
However, I had just finished setting up the pot and boiling water when suddenly the door was knocked.

My heart trembled, who could be knocking on my door?
After all, no one knew I lived here except for Quentin, but Quentin ist clearly in the hospital now.
The door was knocked a few more times.
I wiped my hands, walked over, and asked in a tense voice, “Who is
it?”
“Sister, it was me.”
The voice of the young man?
I slightly loosened my breath and opened the door.
The young man stood at the door with a big smile on his face, holding a bowl in his hand. Inside the bowl was a steaming hot meal.
“Girl, my mom said it’s not easy for you to be alone outside, originally she asked you to come over and eat together.”
But you were too embarrassed, so my mom had to ask me to bring it to
you.
I was momentarily stunned and quickly said, “No need, no need, thanks though. I was cooking noodles.”
“Oh, it’s okay. My mom cooked too much food, and two people can’t finish it. Besides, look, I’ve already served it for you.”
The young man said and then handed me the bowl.
I awkwardly took the bowl and at that moment, I deeply understood the meaning of the phrase “it’s hard to refuse someone’s kindness.”

The young man delivered the meal and then ran away quickly.
I closed the door and smiled at the food in my hands.
Auntie and the young man, they were really kind–hearted.
And I was also lucky to always come across such enthusiastic and kind. people.
Because the investment negotiation was scheduled for next Wednesday, and today is already Friday, after dinner, I started studying the project materials.
I didn’t go out over the weekend. I stayed in the room and familiarized myself with the content of the materials, so that I wouldn’t be caught off guard by the investors during the negotiation.
Finally, Wednesday arrived, the day for investment negotiations.
In the morning, Mr. Pruitt called me and the secretary team leader to the president’s office for a small meeting. He said that he would take me to meet the investors at 7 o’clock in the evening.
I was both nervous and excited in my heart,
I thought to myself that this was a good opportunity for exercise.
I had just come out of the president’s office when my phone rang.
What surprised me was that it was Reynaldo who called.
These days, I have been busy with this project. Both work and after work have been busy, and I almost forgot about his existence.
Looking at the caller ID at this moment, I felt a bit dazed.

didn’t know whether to answer this call or not.

breathed a sigh of relief and stared blankly at his name.
