Chapter 89: The Path To Wealth
After another half month, Brian’s designs have been completed. He handed the company over to me to manage and then flew to America to meet his partner.
If those stores agree to cooperate, this will be the first step full of hope for his dream and mine.
He lay next to me every night, unconsciously forming a habit, so when he left, my sleep was restless and not good.
In the morning, I have to apply more eye shadow to cover my dark circles.
The front of the train must be fresh for the rear of the train to be excited. I want to transmit positive energy and enthusiasm to my employees.
As the dusk gradually fell, I stood up, arranged the office, and waited for the workers to leave, then I left. Brian and I are always the last two people to leave the company.
“There’s someone looking for you.” The security guard said as soon as I stepped out of the gate.
I quickly recognized Richard’s car. These past few months, he’s been busy and I’ve been busy too, so we haven’t had time to see each other, or even call.
I know that Richard and I can no longer be as close as we used to be. Although our friendship was still intact, because I had Brian by my side, Richard always kept a certain distance.
Maybe he had free time today, so he came to visit me.
The windshield quickly lowered. I also quickly ran towards the car.
“Aren’t you busy working today?”
“Uh. Get in the car and come to my house to have dinner.”
I obediently got into the car and fastened my seat belt.
The car slowly turned around and merged into the crowded traffic flow in the late afternoon.
I had Brian, Caily also had Kelvin, and only Richard was still alone. I wish he could quickly find the bright moonlight of his heart.
“I didn’t think you would come and take me to your house for dinner.” I spoke up to break the silent atmosphere.
“Your future husband asked for help from me. He’s afraid you’ll skip meals. Don’t worry, my mother cooked a lot of dishes today, I’m sure if you eat them all, you will have enough nutrients to live until Brian comes home.”
“What?” I burst out laughing because I didn’t expect Richard to joke like this.
What is Brian doing? Why is he bothering Richard so much? He should have just reminded me not to skip meals.
My heart is extremely warm right now, having the love of the man I love and the affection of my friends is something I could only dream of before.
I haven’t been to Richard’s house in the past few months, so now I see that the garden has changed quite a bit. He bought more potted plants and built some green stone paths, which look very beautiful.
Seeing a young girl running from afar towards me, I was quite surprised because I had not seen his house have a young maid like this before. Could it be that she was his relative?
“Young master, let me carry the things upstairs for you.” The girl took Richard’s vest and briefcase and smiled extremely innocently.
Oh, turns out she’s the new maid. She looks so cute and her voice is extremely soft.
I secretly looked at Richard’s face to see his expression. As a result, I couldn’t detect anything. He just gave her the vest and briefcase and then took my hand and pulled me inside.
“Newbie?” I asked.
“Yes, she is the daughter of a friend of my mother’s in the countryside. Her mother got married quite late, so even though she is the eldest child, she is only twenty years old.” He answered slowly.
“Twenty years old is enough age to get married. She looks so cute.”
“You’re planning on pairing her with me, right? Are you planning to turn me into the second Brian?”
I burst out laughing, shaking my head continuously even though that was the thought in my head. If I guess correctly, it must be because he never opened his heart to anyone, so his mother brought that girl to live with him.
If she meets him every day and takes care of him from the smallest things, it will easily make him fall in love.
Brian once told me that because I took care of him from his shirt to his meals, he loved me without knowing when.
Dinner took place in a warm atmosphere. Richard’s mother constantly reminded me to eat more.
I thought that when she found out that I had rejected Richard’s love to return to Brian’s side, she would be angry with me, but no, she was still very caring and treated me the same as before.
Richard’s mother is a good woman, so I believe he will be happy and have a lot of luck.
“When are you and Brian planning to get married?” Richard’s mother pushed the plate of crab meat that her son had just peeled toward me and asked.
“Ah, we still don’t have a plan. Have to earn money first.” I don’t know what to say so I have to use money as an excuse.
Brian was busy with work, so I didn’t dare ask him. For me, just being with him is enough, and whether the wedding is held or not, it doesn’t matter.
My relatives turned their backs on me a long time ago. If I get married, I won’t send them wedding invitations.
As for Brian, he was also ignored by that rich family. When I think about a wedding with only a few people, I don’t want to organize it.
“We will earn money all our lives. I really hope to see you wearing a bridal gown. I’m sure you will be very beautiful. Please get married so that Richard can imitate you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Richard coughed, and the maid sitting next to me kept smiling.
Because she was a friend’s daughter, his mother treated her differently. She is allowed to eat with her master. Looking at her, I see an image of myself two years ago.
After the meal ended, Richard’s mother gave me some homemade dumplings before I followed Richard to the car.
She told me to put them in the refrigerator and steam them up when I want to eat them.
“If you both have any financial difficulties, please tell me. Although I don’t have as much money as Hana Group, I can still help you two.” Richard said as he fastened his seatbelt.
“Oh. Right now, we can still manage.”
The car continued to move, taking me back home. The moment I entered the house, a feeling of emptiness enveloped me. I miss Brian so much.
The bed now seems wider. After tossing and turning for a long time, I got up and turned on the light to sew the dress designs that Mary chose.
I heard that before becoming a rich woman, Mary was the first sister in a poor family.
At first, she sold duck eggs, then she sold pillows and blankets, then she sold food, and eventually she sold real estate. When the opportunity came, she grabbed it very quickly and got rich quickly.
However, she still maintains the habit of saving, not splurging on luxury goods, but prefers dresses and handbags at affordable prices. She also eats and drinks very moderately, not wastefully.
After three more days, my beloved returned. He returned without prior notice. While I was dreamily closing my eyes, he called. When I opened the door, I looked out and saw him waving outside the gate.
“I miss you so much.” I jumped into his arms, inhaling the familiar scent as soon as the gate opened.
“I also miss you very much. Looking at you through the phone screen cannot make me miss you any less.” Brian hugged me tightly and kissed my hair.
“Do you miss me now?” I widened the distance, raised my head, and asked.
“Yes, I miss you so much.”
After finishing speaking, Brian leaned down and kissed me on the lips. The kiss was sweet but full of possessiveness. It seems like if he could swallow me in his stomach, he would swallow me too.
The night wind caressed around us, but because I was in his arms, I didn’t feel cold at all. Very warm. I feel a bit short of breath.
“Tell you good news.” He left my lips, speaking in a gasp.
“What news?” I dreamily looked at his face under the late moonlight.
“Customers love my fashion designs very much. They have placed an order, tomorrow they will transfer the advance payment so we can import the fabric and start production.”
I was so happy that I almost cried. Not because I’m happy for myself, but because I’m happy for my man. Finally, Brian did what he wanted.
I’m proud that I can be his woman. However, the joy didn’t last long when he gave me another news as soon as he carried me into the house, making me lose all emotions. To be more exact, I was both happy and worried.
His customer is a large fashion distribution company in the US. Because they saw that his designs had great potential, they ordered them in large quantities.
Their plan was to bring them to all branch stores across seven countries including Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, China, Korea, America, and Indonesia.
“I can’t imagine they would order such a large quantity in the first order. Then how do you plan to handle it?” I frowned and looked at him.
“Look at you, we signed a big contract but you’re sad. Owners of large businesses always have far-sighted eyes. I will look for investors.”
“Try asking Martin.” I quickly recommended his rich friend.
“No. He is incapable.”
After sighing, Brian told me that because Martin defied his parents’ threats to love Naomi, they kicked him out of First Real Group for more than a year.
He did his own real estate business, but at the present time, real estate everywhere suddenly froze, his money also froze, and he had no money left to invest in other fields.
Listening to Brian speak, I felt so sad. Rich families will never accept a daughter-in-law from a lowly family.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
What should Caily and Kelvin do? Will Kelvin choose love like Brian and his brother, or will he choose that inheritance?
Even though Kelvin saw Martin being kicked out of the corporation, he was still not afraid and stubbornly pursued my friend. He seemed very serious in his relationship with her.
If both Kelvin and Martin love normal girls, their parents should think again, right? Their parents have no one else to inherit the First Real Group other than their two sons.
