At this point, my dad pursed his lips. “Last Christmas, James suddenly brought him to our house. I didn’t know what he was up to. Turns out, this brat had his eyes on my daughter.”
I blushed. “Dad, we’re not together yet.”
My mom widened her eyes. “What? What are you doing? You’ve got such a wonderful guy, and you’re not keeping a tight grip on him. Let me tell you, the Ford family is fantastic, and this young man, Steve, has been back for a year, running his own successful company, he’s capable, treats you well, and he’s good–looking. What more could you ask for?”
I mumbled, “…”
“Are you still thinking about that guy, Nash?” My mom’s sharp gaze pierced me.
I was taken aback. I hadn’t heard Nash’s name in a very long time.
He hadn’t taken over the family business like in the previous life, becoming a rising star in the business world. He had faded into obscurity.
“Mom, what are you talking about?” I waved my hand dismissively.
My mom, noticing that I had no other intentions regarding Nash, eased up. “Oh, speaking of which, it’s such a pity about Nash. He had such high talent, and if he had continued painting, his achievements. would have been extraordinary.”
My dad interjected, “Alright, he’s running a small company now, and he seems to be doing well.” Nash had memories from a past life, and even if he had stopped painting, he should be doing fine.
After returning to the country and resting for a few days, I started to get busy. Our company is in the e- commerce business, and many things are different in San Athens compared to abroad. I had to understand and implement each aspect one by one. Although I had done a lot of market research before, the competition in the domestic e–commerce industry was quite intense, and our company’s financial report for the first quarter wasn’t very promising
I was feeling a bit down, so Steve took me out to dinner. I seemed listless, lacking interest in the delicious food I usually enjoyed. Steve switched my drink “What’s wrong?” I took a sip, and the sweet and refreshing taste of the juice perked me up. “It’s nothing, just a bit frustrated.”
Steve could tell without even thinking that I was worried about the company. However, this was something he couldn’t help with.
My career depended on me, and if I didn’t work hard, I’d never grow.
Steve thought for a moment. “Wendy, let’s go out and have some fun, right now.“
