Chapter 41: Love over time
Seeing that Vivian still did not respond, Holden looked puzzled and spoke again, "What is it that makes
you think so seriously?"
Vivian smiled and said, "Nothing, just feel as if I knew you before, generally I do not make friends so
quickly, except for my friends who grew up, you are the first!"
Vivian used to guard her heart, not willing to let others peek because, at that time, she was scarred and
did not want others to see her so helpless.
And she went back home and kept wrapping herself up because everyone around her knew about what
happened two years ago and she had to act tough. She doesn't want to get sympathetic looks from
others because of her feelings.
Holden didn't know about her past, didn't know about her and Hanley's previous affairs, so she could
simply be herself.
Vivian said with a big smile on her face, "So do you think we would have been at the same school
before? It's just that we didn't know each other."
Holden's heart fluttered and an impossible thought flashed through his mind - did she remember him?
But immediately he dismissed it, there was no way she would remember him. Because the old him and
the present are not at all alike, that is, his father is not able to immediately be able to identify the old
one as him.
Although it is clear that Vivian will not remember him, but hearing her say so, Holden still can not help
but excited. But his face was still calm, and he didn't show anything. Because he was afraid that if he
was too excited, he would make Vivian suspicious and could only say in a joking tone, "Maybe we
really have met before, but maybe it was a quick glance."
Vivian agreed and said, "Hahaha, there are so many people in the world, if you say so, it is indeed
possible."
It was just a joke, so Vivian naturally didn't take it to heart.
After taking a look at Vivian's application, Holden said tentatively, "So love at first sight is also
possible."
Vivian did not want to give others unlikely hope, and there were some things that absolutely could not
have any hesitation.
"Maybe it's possible, but it's still whether people believe it or not."
Vivian is aware that she has Hanley by her side, and that she and Holden can only be friends.
"The old me believed, but I lost the bet. I shouldn't deny everyone because of one person, but once
bitten by a snake, I'm afraid of a well rope, I still believe more in love over time, more in details than in
sweet words."
Vivian indirectly told Holden what she thought, she didn't want to delay a person like that.
Not wanting to continue this kind of topic, she changed the subject and said, "Where did you buy this
porridge? It feels sweet and delicious."
Holden clearly Vivian is deliberately changing the subject, but still follow her words answered, "is
slightly sweet, but do not eat more, but the doctor only allows you to drink white rice porridge."
Holden put a lid on the remaining white rice porridge in the thermos.
He didn't answer Vivian's question because he was too embarrassed to tell her that this was the white
rice porridge he had learned all night long.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Vivian did not continue to ask, but looked at the time and hurriedly
ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge before saying to Holden: "Have you finished the discharge
procedures?"
Holden nodded and said, "You can leave as soon as you're packed!"
Long ago when he came over, he had already done the discharge formalities.
"If you're all set, we can leave early. There's still some time left, but it's better to leave early during rush
hour so you don't miss time because of traffic."
Holden knew that Vivian was very serious about this collaboration. After he went back last night, he
started making preparations.
Vivian did not expect Holden would follow her because she valued this opportunity, also valued, heart
is very touched, but did not say anything to thank.
The reason is that there is no need to say too many words of thanks between friends, they are clear to
each other.
......
Because Holden had prepared in advance, Vivian arrived at the appointment two hours earlier.
"Now there is still time, you can first look at the information prepared in advance. I'll be waiting for you
at the table next to you, if you feel hard, don't resist hard, I have friends I know at AR, so I can still
choose another time to talk about cooperation at that time."
Holden was worried that Vivian was going to carry on, so he added a few words of advice, "Even if you
don't listen to me, don't forget what the doctor said. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to eat the
food in A City, but you won't have a chance to enjoy the simple food, and you will have to hang on to
the infusion bottle pathetically."
Vivian, who was originally a bit nervous, instantly laughed after hearing Holden's advice, "Those who
don't know think I've made not a friend but a caring nanny." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
She said in a joking tone, "I can't repay you for being so nice to me! I can't give you anything without
money or power, and I can't even give you my life."
Although it seemed to be a joke, Vivian had something else in mind.
She is not averse to starting a new relationship, but she will not consider it until she has completely put
Hanley down.
Whatever she does, Vivian wants it to be something she can be responsible for.
She has no way to give Holden any reply right now, so she hopes he can simply treat her as a friend as
well.
Holden knew what Vivian meant, but he didn't intend to point it out. As long as he could be there for
her, he didn't expect too much.
"It's okay, from now on when I'm sick, you can just stay at my bedside every day." He didn't want to put
any pressure on Vivian, so Holden also used a joking tone, "Let me save some money on hiring an
escort, and save my mind how good it is."
"Why does this deal feel a little unfair!" Vivian also laughed.
Her purpose was to keep Holden's mind off of her, and now that her purpose had been achieved, she
naturally wouldn't drag the conversation in that direction again.
The two of them talked for a while longer before someone from AR came over. Coincidentally, that
person happened to be someone Holden knew.
As soon as the person from AR entered the restaurant, the first person he saw was not Vivian, but
Holden, "Holden?"
Faced with Vivian's gaze, Holden could only helplessly say that he did not know that the person who
coincidentally met the AR company was someone he knew.
Holden stood up with a smile on his face and asked, "Jack, what are you doing here?"
"Came here to talk about a collaboration." He said, glancing at Vivian's position, "Holden, if you have
nothing important to do, we will talk later, I have to deal with the company's business here."
Holden nodded and sat down again, giving Vivian a cheering gesture from a place Jack couldn't
see.
