The Day He Matured

Sitting on a motorbike, my eyes kept staring ahead.

Although I am very impatient, the safety of myself and the driver is still the first priority at this time, so I dare not speak up to urge him.

However, he seemed to realize that I was in a hurry, so he drove as fast as he could.

The motorbike was wriggling through the crowd when suddenly my whole body fell onto the road.

I don’t know what’s going on anymore, I can only hear the sound of a very strong collision and people screaming.

It wasn’t until a kind girl lifted me up and asked if I was hurt that I realized I had just been in a traffic accident.

It turned out that the young man was also having an urgent matter, driving too fast and then losing control of the speed and crashing into us.

Fortunately, he and the motorbike taxi driver were not seriously injured, thick coats and jeans helped them, and they only suffered minor scratches on the back of their hands.

And I am the unluckiest person. I wore a short skirt and a thin shirt so my knees were scraped, two large pieces of skin were lost, and there was a lot of blood, and my arms were also bleeding, seeping into my shirt.

“Let me take you two to the hospital to be checked.” The young man worriedly suggested.

“I’m fine, I’m just afraid of what’s wrong with her.” The motorbike taxi driver shook his head and pointed at me.

“I just got a scratch on my skin, it’s okay. All right, I’m in a hurry. You can go already.”

The young man repeatedly apologized, then pulled out his wallet and gave the motorbike taxi driver money to repair the motorbike because it was cracked and broken after the collision.

After solving everything, we quickly left, and the curious crowd also dispersed.

Even though I was unlucky, I still call it luck. Seeing me hobble into the cafe with bleeding knees, Mr. Chad and his wife immediately inquired about me, showing no signs of anger or dissatisfaction.

They quickly read the contracts, signed them, and took me to a nearby clinic to have the wound bandaged.

“I have wasted your time today, I’m sorry.” I hesitated to speak.

“If you are too busy, you should make an appointment with us on another occasion. Fortunately, there was no serious injury.” Mr. Chad frowned, but his voice was very light, not irritable.

While the doctor bandaged me, the two of them offered to take me back to the company, but because I had an appointment to take guests to see the apartment, I just asked them to drive me to the nearby meeting point.

At first, I was going to go to the shoe store to buy a pair of high heels to wear but now my foot is injured like this so I won’t buy it anymore.

I guess no one would judge me when they see my pitiful appearance.

When I arrived, two luxurious customers had just arrived. And I did not expect them to be close friends of Mr. Chad and his wife, they recognized him when they saw the license plate.

So, after shaking hands and greetings, Mr. Chad boasted that he had just signed a purchase and sale contract with AD company, and complimented that the company’s staff had enthusiastically advised customers, beautiful and quality houses…

Perhaps thanks to him praising the company, the two of them had feelings for me and the AD company.

After taking a look at the vacant apartments, they decided to buy two apartments for their two sons who are getting married.

I feel envious of the two sons of two customers, even when they are grown up and about to leave their parents’ arms, they are still worried by their parents and arranged for a good place to build a small home.

“I feel very satisfied, but I would like you to take my two sons and their fiancees to see the apartment again. I’ll buy it for them, but they have to like it.” The elegant woman spoke up.

“Yes. When they are free, please contact me a day in advance so that I can arrange and take them away.” I smiled and said.

Mr. Chad and his wife took me to the company gate.

I glanced at the watch on my hand and saw that it was past lunchtime, so I went to the pastry shop next to the company to buy some cakes, eat, and then return to the office.

My job is like that, I can’t eat and drink on time and as a result, my stomach hurts. However, I have no other choice.

“Oh my god, what’s wrong with your legs and arms?” Mrs. Erina exclaimed when she saw me slowly walking in.

“I was hit by a motorbike while driving on the road. Nothing serious.”

At this moment, Brian also just crossed the threshold.

Mrs. Erina grabbed my hand and pulled me aside to make way for him.

He stopped, looking down at my feet, making me feel unnatural, toes involuntarily flexing, clutching at my yellow flip-flops.

Everything that happened to me was partly thanks to him. If he signed the contract a little early, I wouldn’t have taken a motorbike taxi.

If he had signed early, I would have taken a taxi and would have had no collisions, no scratches. Fortunately, my fingers didn’t break a second time.

Brian looked at me for a long time and then continued to walk, without even asking a question.

Did this guy get too much cold blood during surgery?

Why do I feel sorry for myself? He and I were no longer a couple. Am I waiting for him to care, comfort me? It’s childish.

After returning to my desk, I continued my work, posting on my personal page to advertise, and contacting potential customers who had visited the house but had not yet made a decision.

Entering this business, my face thickened a lot, I knew I would annoy other people, but I still had to annoy them.

Before I succeed in some field and have a lot of money in my account, I should lose my dignity.

Although I tried to push myself into the busyness, my mind still couldn’t help but think of the man sitting in the room.

He is not a stranger, but someone I once loved dearly. The one whom I risked my life to wrest from the flames of death.

I still love him so much right now and maybe in the future, I will still love him.

This love is wrong, right? I don’t know if he’s single or if is he married to Hellen.

It wouldn’t be strange if they secretly got married. Celebrities usually get married in secret.

I shouldn’t embrace someone else’s man figure.

At the end of the call with the client, I involuntarily turned to look into the glass room, but the curtain blocked my view.

That’s also good, I hope he always lowers the curtain so that I don’t get confused when I roll my eyes.

An exhausting day passed slowly. When the clock struck five o’clock in the afternoon, I gathered up my documents and stood up.

Every time, I always linger to wait for everyone to finish fingerprinting because I don’t want to queue up little by little. Instead of having to stand for fifteen minutes, I chose to sit and relax and then go downstairs.

However, from now on, I cannot linger while Brian is in this room.

When I went down to the main hall, I leaned back against the column, waited for everyone to leave, then went straight to the timekeeper and put my index finger in.

Weird, why does the machine keep giving an error message?

I thought it was because of sweat, but after several times drying my index finger, the timekeeper still reported an error, so I looked closely at my finger and discovered it was scratched.

The scratch was very small but successfully made the timekeeper reject me.

“Tomorrow I will report to the human resources department.”

Seeing the tall figure of Brian coming out of the elevator, I panicked and quickly ran away.

The universe is against me, isn’t it? Can’t he come down a little late? Why does the time coincide?

The bus took me back to the alley and drove straight. I wish there was a bus service that would take passengers to the gate.

Exhaling a long breath, I trudged into the department store to buy some food and then returned to my residence.

I looked at the ground while walking, so when I looked up, I was startled because I saw a very familiar car.

“Richard, why are you here?” I reached out and touched the man who was playing with his phone so intently that he couldn’t see me.

“I came to return your coat. But… what’s wrong with your leg?”

“Oh, I fell, nothing serious.”

Richard’s eyebrows furrowed, looking at my face and then looking down at my knees. The large hand spread out, I understood and put the key in his hand.

He opened the gate very quickly, then leaned over to pick me up, I reflexively hugged his high neck.

I’ve been feeling sorry for myself all day, so I don’t object to him, I just let him take care of me.

After he brought me into the house and sat me down on the sofa, he knelt down, carefully removing the bandages and examining the wound.

“Did you have an accident? Why don’t you take a taxi? Why do you take a motorbike?”

“At that time, I was going to be late for my appointment and afraid of traffic jams, so…”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“You go take a shower and come out here so I can apply medicine for you. Which dish are you going to cook?” Richard carefully bandaged my knees and said.

“Fried fish, spinach soup cooked with dried shrimp.”

I know Richard asked that question because he wanted to cook for me. He cooks very well, just like his mother cooks.

At this moment, a very different thought suddenly popped into my head.

Should I accept Richard? Let him appear a lot in my daily life. Let his image gradually replace the image of Brian.

I won’t fall in love with him right away, but if I see him every day, I’ll probably form a habit that can’t be without him.

That habit will gradually turn into love. Is that okay?

“Bella.”

“Yes.”

“If your current job is too difficult or too hard, please come to my company. There will be a job that is right for you so that you can promote your strengths, contribute to the company and receive a good salary.”

I didn’t know what to say, just nodded slightly, giving Richard a smile.

Yesterday, his mother revealed to me that he is preparing to start a fashion design company, and his target audience is women.

It seems that this man’s passion for that field is greater than mine.
