Chapter 143 – Partner Appointment
I hurriedly nodded my head and replied, “I was meeting a friend over here, and I purposely came early to sit on the beach for a while.”
I said and turned the camera toward the sea.
“Mom, I’m really better, it wasn’t a big deal, don’t worry!” I said while smiling brightly.
My mom sighed and muttered, “I shouldn’t have gone so far in the first place, it would have been better to stay with my Shem.”
“Where in the world are the shoulds and should nots. I except I can’t see you guys as often as I’d like, now isn’t that great!” I hurriedly changed the topic, “Mom, did my dad really buy that many houses on Old Street?”
“Is that even a lie, don’t you know your dad, who can stop him from doing what he wants to do? He doesn’t discuss it with anyone.” My mom said this on her lips, but her face was filled with an approving smile, “In fact, ah, he has long had a premeditated plan, the old street planning and development, are all your father’s proposal. It’s been years, and it’s only now that it’s been adopted!”
My mom’s eyebrows flew up at the mention of it, and I could tell she was genuinely happy and in good spirits.
“My dad’s proposal?” That was a bit of a shock to me.
In fact, as early as after I got married, I always advised both of them to come to Newport to buy a house and move here to settle down.
My mom was very moved, but my dad said he wouldn’t do anything, he just had four words, the homeland is hard to leave!
I was still angry, what can stay in that old street, just like my mother said a, are going to mold, but my father is very stubborn, said this is his position, he wants to stick to this position.
In hindsight, Dad definitely had a long-term vision, and not only did he hold on to that position, but he enlarged the frontier indefinitely.
I looked at my mom and asked, “Sheel Pharma, still have a lot of our shares? How come I didn’t know before that my dad even invested in Sheel Pharma?”
“When did your father do things with the family to get together, investment Sheel Pharma but a long time ago, you are not married when your father is optimistic about the pharmaceutical industry, said that the future must be a long term investment. At first it was a stock investment, hey … don’t say anymore!” She suddenly did not go down, quickly changed the topic, “You are not yet time?”
“Yeah, meeting a friend, I’m early, so I came to sit on the beach.” I didn’t tell the truth too much, not wanting them to worry about my situation.
“Are you sure when you’re coming?” That’s what my mom is most passionate about, asking every time she calls.
“Soon!” I said dryly, “Just Lilly, Oliver’s finals are over! I’ve got a few things I need to take care of at hand though, soon.”
“Well then, I’ll be waiting for you guys to get here, so think about what all you want to eat and I’ll prepare it in advance! You can tell me anytime.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Good!” I laughed, it was time to start getting ready, I didn’t even know when I was going to move, but I couldn’t bear to discourage her!
After chatting a bit more, it was about time, so I said to my mom, “So I’m at the point, hang up!”
Hanging up the phone, I looked out into the distance and stretched. Saw a man standing on the reef not far ahead, facing the wind with a magnificent back.
Suddenly, my heart shrunk violently… this back, how does it look so much like a person?
I was staring at the figure out of my mind, expecting to see his proper face, but the man was so focused that he kept gazing out over the distant horizon and didn’t even look back.
Discouraged, I looked at the time and got up reluctantly, laughing at myself for not forgetting that person after all those years, for even remembering his back and being able to attract me.
But how could he be in Newport?
I stood up and headed back, it was almost time and I didn’t want to be late for my first meeting with my partner.
Still unable to contain my curiosity as I turned into the private lane, I looked again toward the man, who had already descended the reef and was visible only as a profile, a face that was unfamiliar.
I was actually a little disappointed and walked away quickly.
When I got to the room where I was supposed to be, only Albert was waiting there, and I was a little puzzled, looking at him and asking, “Why isn’t he here yet?”
Albert leaned back lazily into the couch and pointed to his watch, “It’s not time, don’t worry, he won’t be late!”
I instinctively glanced at my watch, ten minutes to go.
I put the bag I was holding down and sat down in the couch across from Albert, growing nervous.
