Chapter 10 — Boss Huo Waited For Me For Eight Years

I have never seen him smile like that in my whole life. My heart skipped a beat. Stop beating for a full beat. Then he started pounding like crazy. I wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him from the sofa into my arms. He leaned his whole body against my chest. Very heavy. It's been 8 years, this is the first time I know he's that heavy.

“Huo Hoai Can.”

“Um.”

“Let me bring you coffee later, don't wake up so early again.”

He buried his face in my chest and laughed softly.

“I know.”

* Chapter 9 Everything after that went more smoothly than I imagined. And also "wearing pants" more than I imagined. The first is with the object of eye viewing. That guy's last name is Lam, his name is Lam Viet. Truly a good-natured, gentle, thoughtful and patient young man. I asked him out for dinner, intending to frankly and clearly explain everything. As a result, as soon as I sat down, before I could even open my mouth, he laughed first.

“You're going to tell me you're not getting married anymore, right?”

“…How do you know?”

“The day I went to see your eyes, my soul was hanging upside down on a tree branch.” He stirred the glass of milk tea in front of him, "Your phone's lock screen is a photo of an office. Not a desk, but kind of... taken through a glass door."

"There's a man's back inside. Maybe you didn't even notice."

I was silent for 3 seconds. Turn on your phone. Lock screen — I remember setting a landscape photo. Look closely. That photo was conveniently taken by me two years ago. Flower garden downstairs of the company. The sun is very beautiful. But right in the middle of the photo, a layer of floor-to-ceiling glass door, there is indeed the silhouette of a person. Side view of Hoac Hoai Can standing next to the window listening to the phone. I always thought I was taking pictures of the flower garden.

“Lam Viet, I'm sorry —”

“Don't apologize.” He waved his hand, his expression extremely calm and chill. "We've only met three times, and we don't have any emotional foundation yet. Just follow your heart."

"Thank you. I invited you this meal."

“But what else?” He wasn't polite at all, "You're wasting a month of my time, at least you have to eat a meal worth about 300 yuan."

“Okay, feel free to call.”

Out of the restaurant, I called my father. This is the most difficult level in the entire story. The phone had just been connected for 3 seconds, before I could say a word, my father opened fire.

“The engagement was called off?”

“…How do you know?”

"Vietnamese's father told me that he already has someone in his heart."

“Dad, I —”

“Is that boss Hoac at the subsidiary?”

“Dad, you even know about this?”

"Nonsense! I sold half of my life to him! I haven't been able to go home for a whole year, but when I got home and opened my mouth, it was boss Hoac boss Hoac!"

“So why did you still arrange a blind date for me?”

"Isn't it because you keep insisting that you two are in a business relationship? I thought people would criticize you for not paying attention to you!"

“…”

"So what's the point? Are you a couple yet?"

"It's done."

The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Then my father's powerful voice rang out: "Mrs. Tham! Mrs. Tham! Your daughter is enlightened!" From far away, my mother's voice echoed: "What?"

“He's dating his boss Hoac!”

“Which boss Hoac?”

“That boss he served for 8 years!”

“Oh — that big general manager?”

My mother stopped for 3 seconds.

“So From now on, you won't have to send him living expenses anymore, right?"

I hung up immediately. * Chapter 10 Monday morning. I stood in front of the gate of Hoac Thi Group building. Hesitating a bit, I still walked in. As soon as receptionist Tran saw me, her eyes were as big as gongs.

“You, Ms. Tham?! Haven't you quit your job?!”

“I came to find boss Hoac.”

“Looking for boss Hoac? I... I'm going back to work?"

“Not going to work.”

I carried my shopping bag in my hand and walked into the elevator. Go to the top floor.
