Ch. 2651..2660
Chapter 2651 He was finally able to taste it that day. Wymond had come over that day, but it was not entirely just to have a look at Eevonne because of Kingston. It was also not entirely because he wanted to visit his younger brother and sister-in-law. The biggest reason was that Wymond realized his younger brother and his sister-in-law seemed to be in a much better spirit in the past six months. In the past three years since Yvonne went missing, both his brother and his sister-in- law seemed like they had become ten years older. Both of their hair was gray and they looked even older than Wymond and his wife, who were older than them. However, in the past six months, their spirits were clearly better. He asked them, and he learned that it was because Eevonne paid frequent visits to them.
Wymond and his wife have always known about this girl because Kingston had told them when he returned. Kingston had even urged his parents not to disturb Eevonne. That was because the young lady still owed him money, and it seemed like it was on her mind all the time. She kept talking about it. She just kept bringing it up. In order to let her do her job properly and not think about the money she owed Kingston, Wymond and his wife did not meet with Eevonne once at all.
At the end of the year, the company gave Eevonne a year-end bonus for her outstanding performance at work. On top of that, Eevonne managed to save up by living frugally, she then finally was able to gather some money to return to Kingston. Only then could Wymond and his wife come to his younger brother's house to have a look at Eevonne. The girl was truly not bad. They heard that she was their son's life savior. She was down-to-earth and capable, and she took care of his younger brother and sister-in- law to the point that they became quite energized, where else would they find such a good girl? She was also a low-maintenance person. She stopped going to school in middle school, but so what?
Wymond himself only graduated from elementary school, his wife was not cultured, and his son, Kingston, also went out to work after he graduated from high school. The entire family was not cultured. It was very suitable for them to have a daughter-in-law like her.
"What nonsense are you talking about Wymond? She is cooking in the kitchen. Can you be softer? What daughter-in-law? You're going to frighten her and make her cry!" Kingston's mother scolded her husband in an incredibly soft voice.
"What's the matter? She is our daughter-in-law. Why can't I say that? I think our son has feelings for Eevonne. Her name is the same as our Yvonne as well. That shows that both our family and she are fated. Listen to me, I don't want those socialites or whatnot in South city. Think about it. Our son has been Mister Sebastian's driver for so many years. Which socialite has he not met? He has been a driver for so many years, and he will be turning forty soon, but I don't see any of those socialites wanting to marry him. Now that our son has become the managing director of the Ford Group, there were plenty of societies standing in line to show interest in our son instead, pfft! I don't care for those! I care about this low- maintenance girl!"
Both Vincent and Helene also laughed when they heard Wymond saying that. To be honest, they also really hope that Eevonne could become Kingston's wife. As they said, never let the good things end up in other people's hands.
However....
"I have to let both of you know that I have never Eevonne mentioned that she likes Kingston. If she is not willing, we can't force her. You still have to go home and ask Kingston what his thoughts are," Vincent said softly.
Wymond immediately nodded. "Alright, alright, alright. I'll first deal with that brat of ours when I go home!"
The chattering in the conversation made Eevonne, who was in the kitchen, confused when she heard it. she was able to hear them talking in the living room, but she could not hear what exactly they were talking about, she just vaguely felt that it seemed to be related to her. without knowing why, her face suddenly turned red. Eevonne actually felt a little awkward at Vincent's house that day. She kept feeling that Kingston's parents were always looking at her, and she would blush every time they looked at her. Eevonne was even thinking that she has to ask Kingston when she meets him after that if his parents have a problem with her.
It was two weeks later when Eevonne met Kingston once again. Kingston was travel-worn when he came back. The first thing he did was not to return to the company but to ask Eevonne out to a booth at a very quiet cafe.
Eevonne's heart was slightly fluttering. "Kingston, you've asked me out, so is something up?"
Kingston put a nicely-packed high-end silk scarf in front of her. " Take a look to see if you like it. If you do, I'll...give it to you often in the future."
Chapter 2652 Eevonne was so stunned that she was at a loss for words for a long while.
"What’s the matter? Are you...not willing?" Kingston's slightly nervous.
To be honest, he had been following Sebastian for so long that half of his life was almost behind him. He was not that young anymore. However, it would be impossible to say that he had never encountered or experienced a love affair. He was a man, after all. However, he truly had never thought to have the intention to get married. He originally planned to dedicate his whole life to protecting his Master Sebastian. 1 However, Sebastian has taken a back seat, and Kingston has stepped down from the role of a bodyguard. On top of that, he saw his parents, his uncle, and his aunt be in immense pain when they lost Yvonne, which made him want to have his own family. After that, have a few more children. This way, he could also fill the void that the Yates family would have subsequently. His parents did not say anything, but Kington has always known that they were hoping for him to get married and have children.
He did have the intention to get married in the past couple of years, but it was delayed for a long time because of the search for his cousin. He indeed also could not stop what he was doing to properly meet a girl. He did not ask for the woman that he would be marrying to be beautiful. He only asked for her to be kind and upright. As for whether she was married before, had a boyfriend, or had lived in cohabitation with someone else, Kingston did not care about all that at all. What he cared about was that they could support each other through thick and thin in the next few decades, then that would be best.
However, to find a kindhearted woman who could go through thick and thin with him for the next few decades was simply the most difficult thing to achieve. Ever since Kingston became one of the five managing directors of the Ford Group, there was a swamp of girls in South City, who were all good-looking and stood out very much, fighting to dine with Kingston. Kingston felt distressed whenever he thought of those noble or sweet, or sexy, or alluring women who came in troops. He suddenly understood what Sebastian had felt back then.
Everybody said that Sebastian was not interested in women back then, and no matter how beautiful a woman was, he would not look at her at all. At that moment, if it was Kingston, he also would not look at her. That was because no matter what it was in the world, once it was overly abundant, it would make people feel disgusted. It was the same for pretentious and beautiful women as well. Kingston did not like them at all.
After he became the managing director of the Ford Group for two years, he still did not take a fancy to any of those noble socialites or beautiful women with long legs. Eevonne was the only girl that he had fallen for. Eevonne was not considered pretty and was above average at best. At first, when he saw Eevonne and helped her, Kingston even had to pay attention at all times to not let her truly become a psycho. However, during the time Eevonne was working at the Ford Group, what she had done in his uncle and aunt's house truly made him see her in a new light, she rarely spoke when she was by his uncle and aunt's side and spent the majority of the time listening to them.
It was precisely because she listened that she relieved a huge sorrow that his uncle and aunt were feeling. Not only that, but Eevonne even took the initiative to take on all the chores at his uncle and aunt's house, whether it was cooking, cleaning, fixing the plumbing, or doing the laundry, she was able to do her best for all that. The quality of the elderly couple's lives was clearly much better for more than half of the year. Also, Eevonne did all that during the weekends when she was not working. Because of Eevonne's arrival, the elderly couple clearly found someone to rely on mentally for the past six months. All of that was Eevonne's achievements.
This girl was especially patient with elderly people and had never asked for anything in return. Not only that, but Eevonne practically never called Kingston to take credit for her actions. Also, wherever she has money saved up, she would immediately return the money to him. She would also hang up the call without saying anything more after she returned the money to him. As for her work at the company, she started working a job that was practically equivalent to cleaning up trash and doing odd jobs, but she was able to do it decently, and she was praised by everyone in the company.
Eevonne was right about that, she was very intelligent and she was very capable of coordination.
This kind of job was tough and cumbersome, and the salary was low. However, Eevonne did a great job. she had never come up to him and mentioned, 'Kingston, help get me a good position at work. Look, I've worked hard. I can do an even better job.'
Chapter 2653 She has never said that. Even to the extent that when the director of the fashion department looked for her and wanted to transfer to the fashion department, Eevonne did not dare to agree at first.
That was because she was afraid she would bring shame to Kingston. She felt she had no diploma and she did not want to lie again.
Kingston took notice of all that. He knew that this girl had truly corrected her ways. At that moment, the girl was very down-to- earth. The way she looked when she honestly and diligently worked to the point that she was completely absorbed was quite cute. At this moment, in particular, she was so shy that she did not know what to do, but she still said incredibly humbly, " No, no, no, Kingston. I really can't. I... If I have to say that I don't like you, I won't be able to say that as it would be going against my heart.
"Even if I said that, you won't believe it either, so I might as well just admit it. Actually, Kingston, back when you helped me ward off my relatives when you were in my hometown, I've already...I've already.Jiked you very much. Do you know how lonely and helpless I was at that time and how much I hoped God would send a warrior angel down from heaven to help me get through the crisis? At that moment, you came. You truly were like a warrior angel. You stunned those relatives of mine so much that you made them so dejected. The most important thing was that you helped me reconcile with my mother. Kingston, do you know how much I admired you at that time? However.-.Kingston, I can't accept you. I really can't."
Kingston looked at Eevonne gently. After he looked at her for a while, he suddenly smiled. "You like me. I like you as well. Both of us have feelings for each other. Isn't this the best beginning?"
This strong and unyielding man like him truly did not know how to properly be in a romantic relationship. He might be able to handle it if it was just an act. However, when he had to get serious, this man was also a novice. At that moment, he really wanted to let Master Sebastian teach him. In terms of courting his beloved woman and getting her in his control, Master Sebastian was able to remain calm and collected and never flustered.
Kingston regretted it very much at that moment, why did he not learn from Master Sebastian back then the method he used to attract his wife? That domineering air that he exuded from deep within and that air of a king who conquered everything was something that Kingston could not master even though he was already a proper director of the Ford Group at that moment.
When he was facing Eevonne, he said with a little shyness, " Eevonne, I...I don't know how to whisper sweet nothings. My feelings for you...are sincere."
That line was very cheesy. However, Eevonne instantly teared up. Perhaps those were the most genuine words of affection that she had ever heard in the world.
She looked at him with tears streaming down her face. "Kingston... II Kingston smiled. It seemed like he had succeeded in courting her that day. He immediately hugged her and said with great excitement, "You've agreed to be your girlfriend. You've agreed!"
However, Eevonne firmly pushed him away, looked at him with a firm gaze, and said to him with a firm tone, "Kingston, I'm sorry. I ...I can't say yes to you!"
Chapter 2654 Kingston looked at her with confusion. "What's the matter? Was it because...you once liked me, but I did not confess to you in time, so you've fallen for another man now? Are you dating another boy now?"
The situation immediately became awkward. She has already fallen in love with someone else, why did he take the initiative to hug her?
He was so angry that he wanted to chop his hands off. After that, he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Eevonne. Was I...too reckless? Don't you...be afraid. Don't be afraid! I... I... I'm not that kind of person. I absolutely won't force you, let alone use work to obtain personal gains as well.
"Don't be afraid.
"You have a boyfriend now. As long as he is good to you, І-Г11 give you my blessing. I won't interfere with both of you.
"Gosh... What have 1 done?"
Eevonne cried even harder when she heard Kingston blaming himself like that.
What a great man!
He was truly great!
If someone was fortunate enough to marry Kingston in his life, then that girl certainly would be extremely happy.
She was truly envious.
Eevonne threw herself into Kingston's arms. "No, Kingston. I've said it before, you're the best man that I've ever met in this life. I've long fallen in love with you, but I can't say yes to you.
"I'm just a girl who didn't graduate from middle school.
"My house is in a village.
"I've done so many terrible things in the past. I truly... Even I despise myself in this life.
"Kingston, do you know? I once harassed my ex-boyfriend for nearly a year because of my selfishness. I've harassed my ex boyfriend's parents so much that they were very helpless.
"My ex-boyfriend went away to hide away from me for a year.
"When I think about it, I truly have caused a lot of harm back then.
"I am such a person with a tainted past. I owed the bank money, made a fake diploma, and I offended all of my relatives back at home.
"The main thing is that I'm actually not that young anymore. I'm already thirty-one years old this year.
"Also, I am not good-looking at all.
"Kingston, I've counted a hundred unique points about me.
"I then realized the hundred unique points are all flaws.
"I'm not worthy to be with you at all. Not by a little bit, and not just the average level of not worthy to be with you.
"There's simply a world of difference between you and me, Kingston.
"I won't want to harm you. I won't want to hold you back.
"If I say yes to you, then I truly am shameless."
She got out of Kingston's arms after she was done crying, and then she looked up at him. "Don't worry, Kingston, when I'm at your company, I'll never ever tell the people at the company that I know you.
"I will keep working diligently at the company. The more 1 work, the better I will be.
"Also, I will keep helping you to take care of your parents, your uncle, and your aunt. Just go look for your cousin, Yvonne, with your heart at ease.
"I believe you will be able to find a girl who can hit it off with you and is very well-suited with you in terms of family backgrounds one day.
"When the time comes, I think I certainly should be able to save enough money.
"When you get married, I'll give you ten thousand dollars as a congratulatory gift to you!
"Kingston!
"I'll treat you as my brother!"
She was talking to Kingston with a smile and an extremely motivated expression.
Kingston, on the other hand, felt incredibly sorry when he heard her words.
However, he was also feeling happy.
At the very least, Eevonne did not have another man in her heart. Kingston thought that with her effort at work during that period and her good interpersonal relationship with others in the company, there certainly would be many boys going after her.
There should be too many of them for her eyes to take in, right?
Who would have known that Eevonne was still thinking of him? It was just that she felt inferior and felt that she was not worthy to be with him.
Kingston suddenly smiled in secret.
He smiled and asked her gently, "Tell me then, what are you going to do? After I've got married, what do you plan to do?" Eevonne's gaze immediately became gloomy. "Me?"
Chapter 2655 What should she do? she did not know. Perhaps she would be very, very saddened. However, she could only hide it in her heart. She truly cared about Kingston too much, she could not disrespect him at all. The only thing she could do was to give her blessings to Kingston. After that, help him take good care of the four elderlies. That would be the best way to repay Kingston’s kindness.
"Don't worry, Kingston. I will do very well in the future. You don't have to worry about me," Eevoone said with a forced smile.
"Silly girl!" Kingston pulled her into his arms.
Eevonne wanted to break herself free but she could. " Kingston, let me go..."
"No! I’ve decided that it's going to you in this life. If you don’t like me, I absolutely won't force you, but you like me. since you like me, of course, I can't let you go. You said you didn't graduate from middle school. I'll tell you something. I am also a slacker when it comes to studying. I've never been to college, and I also don't know much from high school. Not only that, but my mind is not as agile as yours. Based on this, you're the one that's out of my league. From today on, you're not allowed to say things like you're not worthy to be with me! Both of US are a match made in heaven! We're perfect for each other!"
Eevonne was speechless.
"You're not allowed to object. Your objection has been denied!" Kingston added again in a domineering manner.
Did she actually meet such an unattainable Prince charming after she had made so many mistakes?
"Am I...am I dreaming?" Eevonne asked while crying in Kingston's arms.
"You're not dreaming. On the contrary, I feel like I'm the one dreaming. I'm a rough man like me who has been involved with violence and bloodshed my whole life. I thought that I won't be able to get married in this life. I've never expected that I'll meet a wonderful girl like you, who is incomparably kind, incomparably smart, independent, and free. Say, I've gotten a bargain, haven't I? II Eevonne burst out laughing. "You...you're too nice to me, Kingston. II "In the future, I can go back to your hometown together with you during the holidays. This way, we can further solidify the fact that I am the man you're involved with out here."
"You...how can you be so mean, Kingston!" Eevonne was both angry and amused.
After she laughed, she said, "In the future, I will never be so vain anymore. I won't keep thinking about bringing my boyfriend back home just to show off anymore, Kingston. I'm still working at the company. I also have to do this job well. Kingston, we can try to date, but can we not make it public in the company? I'm afraid once we made it public, the people in the company would treat me differently. The main thing is that I don't want to affect your image in the company. If one day...I'm only saying if, if we were to get married one day, I'll resign from the company. I'll do my best to not let the people at the company know that I'm your girlfriend. Don't worry. Even if I were to resign, I will still be able to find another job. I can endure any hardships and I'm willing to do any kind of work now anyway."
Kingston hugged Eevonne. "Alright, whatever you say. As long as you're happy, I can do anything. Even if we were to go back to your hometown together one day, I must let you be full of glory."
To have glory and to hold one's head up high, who in this world would not want that? As long as they did not harm others, to be full of glory and to hold one's head up high was a must!
"No, I don't want anything. I just want a simple life in this life. It doesn't matter if I don't have money as well. I just want a simple life and to be together with you. I absolutely won't be thinking of holding my head up high anymore in this life," Eevonne said incredibly firmly.
So what if she was able to hold her head up high? she had once been able to hold her head up high for a moment back then. However, she still paid a miserable price in the end. It would be better than anything for people to be down-to-earth and practical. Besides, Eevonne also wanted to completely bid farewell to her past. She did not want to be reminded of or encounter all those things and people in her past. However, things just would not go as planned sometimes. She encountered people and things that she did not want to encounter.
Chapter 2656 She met the man that she had not seen for five years. That was half a year later after Kingston confessed to Eevonne. Ever since Kingston confessed his feelings to Eevonne, both of them became even more motivated in their lives. It was equivalent to both of them have found the person to rely on. However, just as Eevonne had requested, both of them did not make their relationship public in the company. Kingston felt that it did not matter. Even if they had made their relationship public and Eevonne was transferred to be his secretary, he would be fine with it.
Kingston did not learn any other skills from Sebastian, but he learned and mastered the characteristics of being strict, swift, and decisive with his actions. He was not afraid of other people saying that he got himself a girl from out of town, who was a bumpkin who did not even graduate middle school, she was even a girl who started working as a person who manages miscellaneous goods, which was the most entry-level position.
He was not afraid at all. That was because his superior, Master Sebastian whom he had protected for years, also married a woman who did not graduate from college and was even once imprisoned. To date, Master Sebastian and his wife have always been incomparably loving. That was love. That was a man’s responsibility. However, Kingston had to be considerate of Eevonne’s feelings.
Her job at the Ford Group was quite stable and was getting better with each passing day. she was doing a very good job.
Eevonne liked his job very much, so much so that she was already at the stage where she was fully absorbed in it. The orders that Eevonne was in charge of also brought quite a bit of profit to the company. The director of the fashion department liked Eevonne very much. That was the place Eevonne felt that she was most valuable.
Since Eevonne wanted to continue working at the company and she did not want to be treated differently by others, Kingston then gave her his absolute support. They did not make their relationship public. Nobody in the company knew that Eevonne was Kingston's girlfriend. Eevonne was still working diligently and had never asked for special treatment. Not only did she not let anybody at the company know that she was Kingston's girlfriend, but she also rarely got herself involved with Sabrina and Ruth, she knew that the person that Sabrina and Ruth wanted was Yvonne, and not her, Eevonne.
She could not replace Yvonne, she could not replace Yvonne in Sabrina’s heart and also in the Yates family's heart.
However, she could provide some comfort to the two elder persons in the Yates family. Even if it was just some comfort, Eevonne felt that she should do whatever she could. She would still go to Yvonne's house to take care of the two elderly people every weekend.
During the time she went to Yvonne's house, she met that woman again. It was that woman from a long time ago who suddenly asked her outside of the entrance to Yvonne's neighborhood, "Are they doing well?"
At that time, Eevonne thought that the woman had mistaken her for someone else. However, when she saw that woman wandering at the entrance of the neighborhood again, and when the woman's gaze kept subtly glancing at her, Eevonne became alert. At that time, the number of scammers in society was extremely high. Also, those scammers were particularly used to targeting elderly empty nesters. That was because they were very easy to trick. Many news articles have disclosed that some of these empty nesters, who had saved their hard-earned money all their lives for their retirement, were completely cheated out of their money by those heartless scammers to the point that they went bankrupt.
In the end, the elderly passed away miserably. Eevonne felt that something was not quite right with that woman in front of her eyes. When Eevonne met the woman again a second time, it suddenly occurred to her that the woman looked very similar to an extra in a movie that had just premiered in South city.
That extra was an ugly woman. Not only was she ugly, but she kept stirring up trouble. People hated the character in the movie very much. Her face was seductive, pretentious, and bitchy. Everybody who had watched that movie wanted to slap that extra to death.
Chapter 2657 That woman in the movie had thick makeup. It was like a layer of plaster had been applied to her face. As for this woman in front of her, not only were the muscles on her face stiffened, but her face also seemed like she had a layer of plaster on. She was like a zombie. Eevonne's first impression of such a woman was not good.
Since the woman was looking at her, Eevonne did not enter the entrance anymore. She simply did not want to let that woman know where she was going. After Eevonne stood outside the entrance to the neighborhood for five minutes, that woman was the first person who could not hold herself back anymore.
She came to Eevonne and asked hastily, "Miss, why...why aren't you going in?"
Her voice was so hoarse that it made others feel that she has been through a lot and feel like crying. Eevonne looked at that woman with a confused expression, "Miss, I don't know you. If I had remembered correctly, this should be the second time you strike up a conversation with me, isn't it? who are you? what do you want? Can you answer me honestly? If you can't, I'll call the police, alright?"
The woman instantly panicked. She took a couple of steps back and then staggered while running away. Eevonne sneered.
After she watched the woman walk off into the distance, Eevonne came to the security at the entrance. "Sir, there are elderlies in this neighborhood whose children are not by their sides. You have to help and pay more attention to them.
Don't let the elderlies be cheated."
The security nodded. "As long as we are here keeping watch, we won't let any unauthorized people like that in."
"Thankyou." Only then did Eevonne feel at ease and went to Yvonne's house.
As usual, the elderly couple welcomed Eevonne. Eevonne also treated them more and more like her own family. In the past, she only did the chores, listened to their stories, and so on. At that moment, as long as Eevonne came over, she would help both of the elderlies rub their legs and shoulders, accompany them to have a stroll in their neighborhood, and so on.
This time, Eevonne even directly told the two elderly people, " Mister and Missus Yates, I know that you are all very knowledgeable, and you won't be cheated by others under normal circumstances, but there really are all kinds of scammers out there now. When you go out to get groceries and what not, if you encounter those kinds of enthusiastic women that you don't know where they came from, if they strike up a conversation with you and exchange pleasantries with you, never ever talk to them. It won't be wrong as long as you ignore them. Even if they ask you for directions, ignore them as well. If they really wanted to ask for directions, they would ask the youngsters along the streets when they did not get an answer from both of you. You won't cause them any trouble. You only have to protect yourself. Do you understand?
It When they saw Eevonne treating them like her own parents and reminding them over and over again as she was afraid that they would be tricked, Vincent and Helena were extremely grateful. Of course, they quickly nodded and agreed in unison, "We understand. We certainly will listen to you."
"No matter what happens, if Kingston is not at home, you have to call me right away. Do you hear me?" she instructed them once again.
Both the elderly people answered obediently, "We heard you."
Eevonne was right and her prediction really came true.
The third day after Eevonne warned them, which was a Tuesday, both of the elderly people went out together to get groceries. As soon as they left their door, they were followed by a woman. They did not notice her at first. In the end, after they had been followed for some time, they finally noticed it. However, they just could not get her off their tail. The woman followed them calmly Wherever they went. The two elderly people were so frightened that they took out their phones and called Eevonne out of habit.
At that moment, Eevonne was just two stops away from her office. She immediately and decisively got out of the bus, hailed a cab, and went to look for Vincent and Helena, when she arrived, she saw that it was really that woman! That woman who just would not go away!
"What do you want to do? I'll call the police now. I'll call the police immediately!" Eevonne took out her phone to call the police without hesitating at all.
That woman fled in fear. Within minutes, she ran off and disappeared without a trace. Because of that matter, Eevonne was caught up for an hour and did not return to the company. It was after the director of the fashion department called her and asked her to return as soon as possible because there was a meeting with a new client that Eevonne took the two elderly people home and then returned to the company.
After she entered the company, Eevonne went straight to the conference room. There was a new client waiting for her and the director was also present.
"I'm sorry that I came late. I had an urgent matter to attend to today. Well...why...why are you here?" Eevonne was stunned when she was halfway through her sentence.
Chapter 2658 "Eevonne, why are you here?" The man's voice was deep and it had a tinge of disgust. Even the director could tell.
The director asked Eevonne. "Do you...know each other?"
Eevonne was speechless, of course, they knew each other. That was the person she had been working hard to forget and had already forgotten. However, she had never expected in the sea of people, the huge South City, and among the millions of people, both of them actually could still meet each other once again. Also, they even met in such a narrow space. The fate between two people truly was amazing.
Eevonne was stunned for a while and then she calmed down. She then greeted the man politely, "Hello, Mister Long."
Mister Long glared at Eevonne with an incredibly cold and stern gaze. His tone was also very cold when he said, "I asked you a question. Why are you here?"
Before Eevonne said anything, the director said, "Mister Long, how can you say that? I could tell that both of you had known each other in the past. Did both of you have some conflicts in business in the past? However, work is work. The work in the past is already in the past. You can't bring your past emotions into this environment again, right? Besides, we are attached to two different companies. Both our companies have a collaborative relationship. Mister Long, you don't have to be serious, do you? If Eevonne has done anything wrong to you or your company in the past, I apologize to you on her behalf. Calm down. Take it easy.
Alright?"
As to be expected of the director, he was able to resolve the matter while maintaining peace. Seeing that the director has shown consideration for the greater good, Eevonne did not say anything anymore. After the director has apologized, Eevonne also said humbly, "I'm sorry, Mister Long."
Mister Long sneered again. "Hmph!"
After that, he turned around and left.
"Mister Long!" Eevonne immediately called out. The director was speechless. He took a look at Eevonne with confusion.
Eevonne bit her lips. She was holding a stack of documents in her hands. All the information showed that the other fashion company was very strong. Among all the companies at the edge of the city that the Ford Group had been looking for in the past six months, this company was the most outstanding in terms of production cost, production quality, and design ability.
The Ford Group belonged to the upstream sector and was located in the international metropolis. It was clear that such a city was no longer suitable for the procurement of some raw materials. The fashion brand under the Ford Group had to find these kinds of strong factories at the edge of the city to provide them with raw materials, as well as to help them manufacture. The Ford Group had been searching for six months before they found this company that best fit the corporate group's requirements. The Ford Group belonged to the upstream sector while Mister Long's company was the supplier. Logically speaking, the supplier has no right to challenge the corporate group. However, they were a strong clothing factory that had great quality, so the Ford Group also did not want to pass up on them so easily.
All this information could not be any clearer to Eevonne, who was a professional.
Therefore, when she saw Mister Long was leaving, she chased after him in a hurry. "Mister Long! Hold on, Mister Long. Mister Long!"
However, the man had already gone off into the distance. The director called out to Eevonne from behind her. "Eevonne."
Eevonne looked at the director with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry about this matter..."
The director sighed. "Eevonne, I know that you have always been very hardworking at work, and there are no flaws that can be picked out in every aspect. You have also never been late to work. I just wanted to know, why would you be one and a half hours late today?"
Eevonne bit her lips. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."
The director continued, "This fashion company is indeed incredibly outstanding in all aspects. Do you know that they had rushed over from out of town? He treated big orders like ours very seriously. They boarded the train at four in the morning and traveled for two and a half hours. After they left the train station, they took an hour ride in a cab to get to our company, when they got to our company, it was only eight in the morning! That's one hour away from our business hours, and they have already been waiting here."
Chapter 2659 "That was enough to show how much they valued our company. They were already extremely sincere. But what about US?
Eevonne, our proposal, our information, and everything was on your computer. The printed documents were also locked up by you. You, however, were one and a half hours late. You're supposed to come to work at nine in the morning, but it was already half past ten when you arrived at the company. You let them wait for US here for nearly three hours. Eevonne, even if we are in the upstream sector, we also can't be so..."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's all my fault this time..." Eevonne said very guiltily.
The director smiled gently. "I shouldn't be blaming you, Eevonne. I 've seen how you usually work. You 're a good employee. I shouldn't be blaming you like that. However, I also don't know what's the matter with Mister Long. I could tell that he was very anxious when he was waiting here. However, in order to obtain the big orders from US, he kept saying that it was fine and it was alright in the two hours he had spent waiting here. I could tell that he was still holding himself back. After all, it was hard to get such big orders like what our company was about to place. However, after all of the waiting and holding back, he suddenly lashed out at the moment he saw you. I see that Mister Long is not a person with a bad temper and bad manners, why did he act like that? Eevonne, were you and Mister Long colleagues in the past? Were the both of you in conflict with each other? I don't see how. With your personality and your serious attitude at work, as well as your working ability, you usually won't get in conflict with other people.
It How should Eevonne answer his questions? There was no way for her to explain to the director the relationship she had with Mister Long. If she had not been so late that day, which gave the man named Long an issue to play on, no matter how awkward the situation was, Eevonne also would not blame herself so much. After all, she did not do anything wrong this time.
However, of all days to be late, she was late that day. she was not just a few minutes late but one and half hours. The clients rushed over at four in the morning, but in the end, she was one and a half hours late.
"Sir! I will go after him and get him back now. I'll go immediately! " said Eevonne, and she sped off after that, she was very familiar with the routes near her company.
Eevonne knew extremely clearly which bus station she should hail a cab at in order to get to the train station from the company, she believed she certainly still could catch up to him. As long as she could catch up to him, she would exhaust all the ways to retain him. She would not let her personal grudge in the past affect the company's plan of placing such a large order. That was because it was very hard to find another factory that was as outstanding.
Eevonne rushed out of the company's entrance. Just when she was about to run toward the bus station, someone at the side called out to her.
"I'm here!" The man's voice was cold and disgusted.
There was even a big red sports car parked behind the man, and there was a young and beautiful woman who was glamorously dressed sitting in the sports car.
"Mister...mister Long...can we...talk?" Eevonne asked, stuttering a little.
"Eevonne York! You're truly the champion in hounding others! It's already been so many years, and you actually can still hound me like that. I've never met such a shameless woman like you. You actually could wait for me at the company that we dreamed to collaborate with. How can a bitch like you be so shameless? You're so shameless!" At that moment, the man seemed like he had gone crazy.
"Dash Long! I've had a boyfriend for a long time and we're getting married soon!" Eevonne suddenly said to Dash at the top of her lungs.
Chapter 2660 Dash was speechless. After a while, he sneered. "Which of your words is actually true?"
After Eevonne shouted that one line, she was no longer angry and was already calmed. "Mister Long, we've not met each other for five years. I have never harassed you in the past five years, haven’t I? Don't worry. I won't ever harass you anymore. I've already told you. I already have a boyfriend. Also...I apologize to you for being late today. I didn't mean to. I hope you won't give up collaborating with our company because of me. To a manufacturing-based company at the edge of the city like yours, taking such a large order from US could sustain your manufacturing power for the next two years. Let's think more about the business orders, alright?"
"What a pity it would be for you to give up such a big order because of me."
"Eevonne!" Dash shouted angrily. "You damned bitch. Are you threatening me? You're working in my upstream company now, so you use the order volume to threaten me. Are you saying that if I don't work with your company, my company will have no business for the next couple of years? You're one and a half hours late today simply because you wanted to show me your dominance! You truly are as shameless, despicable, and unreasonable as five years ago! I do want to try and see if we don't work with your company, would my company end up having no business or not! Also, what is your position in your company?
Can you easily decide if we should collaborate or not for such a large order?"
Eevonne was speechless, she did not know what to say. she took a deep breath. "I’m sorry, Dash. I've said the wrong things just now. D-Don't stoop down to my level and argue with me, alright? Today ...it's indeed my fault today. I shouldn't have been late. I apologize to you. I also shouldn't have said what I said. The main thing I wanted was for us...to not end up having our companies not collaborating with each other because of our past and also because I came late today. Isn't that a kind of loss to both you and me?" Eevonne started to become nervous without realizing it and her speech was a little incoherent.
Her head was filled with that scene where she harassed Dash back then. Her hair was disheveled, her face was dirty, she was covered with a stench, and her clothes were torn, she even had a head full of lice. She just kept wandering outside of Dash's house to stop him when he appeared. Eevonne was embarrassed to death when she thought of that. She wanted to kill herself for everything that she had done in the past, she also felt guilty for the harm she had caused Dash back then, she had already completely forgotten about this matter. However, things did not go according to her plans, and she met Dash again five years later.
At that moment, Dash no longer had the young and inexperienced air that he had back then. He was good-looking, to begin with.
His face was also decent and he looked like an upright person. Also, his family's good upbringing and the influences his family had on him in every aspect were reflected in his great temperament. Such a man was already incredibly outstanding when he was young. After five years have passed, his temperament has improved to become a sense of competency and maturity.
Before he came, when the director told Eevonne that the other party was Mister Long, she had never expected that it would be the same person. After she learned that Dash was Mister Long, Eevonne also knew that he was already a director managing a fashion company. Eevonne was very happy for him to have such an achievement. She also felt guilty for the harm that she had once caused him.
"I'm sorry, Mister Long. I hope that you can consider it again. If you have any conditions, you can bring them up. Alright?"
Eevonne bit her lips and said very sincerely.
