If love can be booked
Chapter 97 Michael Smith must find Zhu Yaolin - 2
A corner meeting room
She was…late? Was she in a meeting? Wasn’t it supposed to end at 3:30? He drank a few cups of coffee here alone…how many assumptions did he have?
As long as she appeared in front of him... he could let go... She skillfully avoided his embrace and just shook his hand symbolically, for a brief three seconds, without any warmth...
"Linlin, do you really not want to see me?" The clock is already pointing to five o'clock? Who told him to meet at three-thirty? A full ninety minutes...
"Please call me Miss Zhu or Director Zhu." Linlin? Her father only called her Yaoyao, how could he call her that? It felt a little weird...
"Why are you so formal? I allow you to call me Michael." Michael Smith didn't care about her alienation at all. He felt that they would have a good future.
"No thanks, Mr. Smith." Call him Michael? Are they familiar with each other?
"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?" He seemed to be very free. As a director of the creative department, he actually came to the marketing department to grind his teeth for no reason.
"I want to discuss the company's anniversary with you." If it wasn't for the company's anniversary, she probably wouldn't have found a reason to meet him... Why did she have to keep herself so busy? Was it just because of that man? I heard that she was heartbroken...
"Just...make your decision." She turned around and prepared to leave. His eager eyes...
"Ms. Zhu, do you want to talk somewhere else?" Michael Smith suddenly grabbed her hand as she was about to leave. She didn't want to talk to him...
"I..." How could she want to change places? She just didn't want to talk, didn't want to see his eager eyes, that would make her think he liked her, but it was just self-righteous...
Force myself to work...work non-stop...afraid that if I have time off, I will miss him...
"Okay... I also think the conference room is a bit monotonous. Let's go somewhere else." Grabbing her windbreaker on the chair, Michael Smith pulled Zhu Yaolin away.
"I..." He held her hand... and said to leave? She didn't refuse, but followed his footsteps silently. No matter where she was going? In a world without him, it was the same everywhere...
Freehand Café
The atmosphere of Xieyi Café is very warm and comfortable, making people feel at home. The decoration style of the café is simple yet stylish, with a lot of wooden elements and soft lighting to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
When you walk into the Freehand Café, you will be attracted by a huge fish tank with goldfish of various colors swimming in it.
In the busy city life, people always want to find a place to relax and enjoy the tranquility. Xieyi Café is such an ideal place. It not only provides delicious coffee and exquisite snacks, but also has a unique atmosphere and comfortable environment, allowing you to find a moment of tranquility in your busy life.
I'm not someone who will make you fall in love with me, but I still forgot how I got here with him? It's only a few blocks away from the company, and it's as quiet as a paradise... There's the sound of running water in the distance, water plants, and potted plants, and suddenly I thought of Qingchi Bar...
Qingchi Bar... that was their favorite... she accompanied him to get drunk...
"Come, try it..." Michael handed the coffee to her and motioned for her to try it.
"I... don't like coffee." Coffee shop? Did she say... don't like coffee... can be said to hate it? His favorite, her pursuit of footsteps.
"If I remember correctly, you drink...many cups a day." How can a coffee addict not like coffee? What kind of coffee...is she asking for?
"Yes, I drink it every day, but that doesn't mean I like it!" She replied with a smile, a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.
Because I like a person, I like his favorite flavor... I drink coffee just to taste the flavor he likes. She slowly got used to the taste of coffee, the astringent and bitter feeling, just like her love. She kept chasing his footsteps, but finally chose to let him go...
"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Yaolin couldn't help but ask softly. He chuckled, a little self-deprecating.
"Actually, I don't like coffee either." I just simply don't like the taste.
"But...seeing you drink so much coffee every day. So, I started to try to drink some coffee. I also looked up a lot of knowledge about coffee. During my exploration, I found this shop. The coffee in this coffee shop is very delicious, with a mellow taste and rich aroma." The name of Xieyi Café comes from the freehand style in traditional Chinese painting, which emphasizes freedom, fluency and expressing emotions.
"So, you don't like it." I just suddenly felt that I was very ignorant. I just wanted to know more about her. It turned out that she was outside his world and he didn't understand her...
"Fool..." Foolish... Just these two words made her eyes wet? She had once been so foolishly chasing after his favorite taste... What on earth touched the softness deep in her heart?
"I once chased after someone... and finally decided to let go." What kind of emotion is this? What kind of recklessness is this?
"Waiter, the coffee is gone, bring a bottle of 82 Lafite." She should be a red wine lover... coffee is too cheap for her, a woman who can drink red wine...
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Some people say that women who can drink red wine are the most beautiful... But the night is gentle, I am afraid that I will get drunk accidentally, and my dreams will be shattered... How can I stop thinking about you? Say you don't love me?
"When I first met you, your eyes were red..." It seems that you are always a little sad, your eyes are bright because they are full of tears, and a sour feeling permeates my heart...
"Uh... have we met before?" They have met before? It seems that they don't have any impression.
"We have not only met before...we often meet each other." Meeting is a kind of fate. I think God does not want us to miss each other after all... Thank you for returning to the original beauty of life...
"The second time I saw you, you bumped into my arms and my food fell all over the floor." In the "Blooming Season for You" theme restaurant, he had just ordered his meal and was about to sit down when she bumped into him.
"Your tears ruined the shirt I just bought..." Speaking of this, I was quite angry at that time? No apology, just a figure leaving, so familiar...
"Oh? Sorry... hehe... I'll treat you as an apology." Who did he bump into at that time... because he said he only has one heart and can only love one person.
"Well...if you really want to make up for something, why not give me a shirt?" He looked at her, with a slight smile on his face, with a hint of teasing and expectation. If you really want to make up for something, why not break through some new ways?
"Uh... Actually? I really don't want to make up for anything..." She lowered her head and whispered. She admitted that she felt a little guilty, but what? After he said that... everything was gone.
"Besides, didn't you say you only saw the back? Maybe it wasn't me." She pouted and retorted unwillingly. It was just a back view, how could you be sure it was her? The "Flower Season for You" theme restaurant... was crowded.
"By the way, have you been to France recently?" he suddenly asked, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Indulging her argument...
"Uh... don't say you saw me?" She looked up in surprise. French lavender... the flower language is waiting for love. During the time I left him... I was at a loss and just went to see some scenery.
"I just saw a fairy in the sea of flowers..." Some people are destined to be together forever once they meet. It doesn't matter when we meet, as long as we can meet through the vast sea of people...
"We are so destined to be together..." It turns out that I just didn't have the chance to get to know you...
"Nice to meet you. I'm Zhu Yaolin, 26, a woman hurt by love." It seemed like they never had a formal self-introduction?
"Michael Smith, 33, single, waiting for love." There is a seven-year age difference between them? Seven years difference...will she think he is a little old?
Thirty-three? They're not the same age? Seven years apart...
"Has anyone ever told me... that you look beautiful when you drink?" I like watching her drink... elegant and dignified, with only a hint of sadness in her eyes...
"Thank you..." She raised her glass, took a sip, and then gently put it down. At that time, he said it was ugly... so she never drank in front of him again. Because she only wanted to show him her best side. Now, no one will control her anymore, she can do whatever she wants freely, but she finds that she is not happy.
"I heard you like me very much?" Zhu Yaolin looked at him with a hint of teasing and curiosity in her eyes. There was a rumor circulating in the company that the director of the creative department was madly pursuing the ice goddess Zhu of the administrative department.
"It's more than just love." His voice was low and firm, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into it. He couldn't explain the feeling, but he just felt an indescribable impulse in his heart. Is this what is called love? That accidental encounter made his heart occupied by her from then on.
"A little more than liking." At the age of 33, he was already past the age of playfulness... So when he faced Zhu Yaolin, he chose to be honest with her and no longer hide his true thoughts.
"Don't like me anymore, I only have one heart." Her tone was calm and firm. I only have one heart and can only love one person. What kind of despair is this? I can't find a way out, the petals are broken all over the ground, and I can't go back to the branches... There is no way to say love, and I don't want to deceive myself.
"He's... lucky." He said softly. How good must the man she likes be?
"Yeah... He's very lucky, but his world... doesn't have me." She drank the wine in one gulp. Thinking of him, her heart ached. His world, without her... I hope he can be happy. Maybe this is love. Even if I don't get a response, I still hope he can be happy.
"What about the plan? How is it going?" Whenever I think of him, I always feel very bad... If I had never loved, at least I wouldn't know what heartache feels like.
"Linlin, do you know that talking about work while eating can cause indigestion?" Michael said softly, his eyes gentle and concerned. He tried to break the dull atmosphere, hoping to make her happy. He wanted to understand her more deeply and didn't want to see the sadness in her eyes. He just wanted to see her smile sincerely.
"What?" She muttered softly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. This reason sounded a bit strange, but she couldn't help laughing. It had been a long time since she laughed so hard, as if she had forgotten the scorching sun.
"You look so beautiful when you smile..." Michael looked at her with eyes full of admiration and love. He found her smile as warm as the sun, which made his heart beat. However, even though she smiled occasionally, he could still feel the sadness deep in her heart. He couldn't help but wonder how good that man was, and how he deserved to give everything for her.
"Really?" Her smile... He had never noticed it, never cared about it...
"By the way, why do you keep yourself so busy? You are already so successful, why do you still work so hard?" Michael asked curiously. He didn't understand why she always left so much work for herself, when there were some tasks that she didn't have to do herself...but she always...insisted on doing so.
"I... I'm just used to it. When I'm idle, I feel... at a loss." There's nothing wrong with being a full-time workaholic. At least I won't have any random thoughts, and at least I won't think of him.
"How about we travel together after the anniversary?" Traveling together... I'm afraid she'll put too much pressure on me. At the same time, he also knows that she's trying to forget someone by working so hard.
But, Linlin... do you know? The harder you try to forget someone, the more you will remember him. Why not let him become a memory of youth in your life? Time and distance can make people forget someone temporarily, and starting a new relationship is a brand new life. Why not give yourself some fresh air? The sun is still as bright as ever...
"I can think about it." Traveling with a companion? It sounds great. Imagine walking through unfamiliar streets together, tasting local food, and feeling the collision of different cultures. It will definitely be a wonderful experience.
"The plan is quite good. I'll go back and prepare it." In the coffee shop, there was no extra words, just chatting about trivial matters in life. I took a general look at the plan and found it was indeed quite good and unique... It not only retained its traditional characteristics, but also showed a modern atmosphere.
"Okay." For the professionals in the creative department, it was easy to formulate such a unique plan. In the past, such work was usually handed over to subordinates, but this time he proposed to take charge of it personally, just to get closer to her.
"And...thank you for dinner." Sometimes I just want to breathe some fresh air, without his presence, without his thoughts, without his absent-mindedness...
"You're welcome." He replied with a smile. In fact, this dinner was of great significance to him. It could be said to be their first official date. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart.
"It's our company's anniversary...can I invite you to be my dance partner?" The first time we met...I was moved, the second time we met...my heart was touched, the third time we met...I wanted to enter your world.
"Um... this question... can I answer it next time?" His dance partner? His sudden approach disturbed his mind.
"Okay... you are hinting indirectly... do we have plans for our next date?" She smiled softly... of course he didn't mind, as long as she was there, anywhere would be fine.
"You think too much..." Her cheeks flushed slightly. Was she hinting at him?
LOL, it turns out she didn't have no feelings for him... it's just that there was a past between them...
