Chapter 20: Chapter 20

“You think you beat me?”  the girl asked.

"I'm going to beat you now, but in the future, I don't dare say it."  I smile.

“One day, I will make you lose both Simon and Leo!  Wait and see!"  The girl made a cartoonish statement and left.  But for me it's a warning.  It seems that girl has a trump card in her hand, so she dares to say that.

I stood there dumbfounded, my visceral viscera now seemed to be fighting.  It messed up.

“Britt!”  I turned around.  Simon was standing there, smiling at me.  I walked towards him.  "Why are you so dumb?"  He likes to pull my hair up or something.  Meet is to pull all the hair up.

"It's nothing man!"  I smiled and shook my head.  The school drum sounded, ending the wet romance here.  He leaned down and kissed me on the cheek and went to class.  My hand touched his kiss on my face and smiled.

In Biology class

"Aww, sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh, I'm so miserable with you!"  Anne pushed my shoulder.  I looked at it smiling.  He stuffed a pink card into my hand.

"Wedding cards?"  I asked stupidly.

“Grandma, the birthday card, the words are so big that I can't see it.  What's the point of getting married here?"  I laughed at it.

"Who know!"  I opened the card, it was that bar again.  This one is crushing on the handsome guy at that bar.

“Remember me!”

“Oh, the evil chicken!”

When I went out to play, I met Simon, who was also reading something pink.  Going closer, I realized it was Anne's birthday card.  He raised the card to look at me, I nodded gently.  Both of them sighed.

That child didn't know that it left a heavy impression on me, but it was only organized there.  Because it's fun, I had to go.

March 17 of this year falls on a Saturday, so it's an all-night birthday celebration.  At five o'clock I leave the house.  There has never been a mother who is as happy as me, going out to play but still having someone to take care of.  My aunt monopolizes Leo.  At that time, my aunt loved me the most, now Leo is the best, I am the worst.  Shouldn't I be jealous of my child?

I was at that bar at six o'clock, and after a year it seemed scarier than before.  I don't know if this is the style of the restaurant or the business has failed so badly these days.  I gave the card to the security guard, those two looked at me once before letting me in, the security was amazing.

As soon as I stepped inside, the music terrorized my ears.  What kind of music is so awesome.  Anne's daughter saw me and ran out to join the party.  Actually, the party just started at 7 o'clock, now it's just an exchange.

“How are you?  Why are you dressed so tight today?"  Oh my gosh, the shirt I'm wearing is listed as a lack of fabric and it's a secret.  The pants are short and tight on the top.  I shouldn't have escaped.  What party has to wear black, you can tell that the hostess has a strange personality.

"Open your eyes and see, what are you hiding, wearing as you call it open?"  I put my hand on its chest.

"Aww, why are you fooling me, I'm afraid to die!"  He grabbed my hand and smiled.

“Turn on the music, it's annoying!”

"Huh?"

“Turn on some other music!”

"Huh?"

"I asked you to turn on some other music, are you blind?"  I shouted into his ear, he nodded repeatedly and then laughed.

“Oh fuck you!”  It kept saying something to the DJ, then switched to another genre.  Worse than before, this one is crazy.  I was going to call it but it went on to the others so stopped.

I was eating fruit when Simon came in, he smiled at me.  After giving Anne gifts, he came and sat next to me.  Hands draped over his shoulders toying with a few strands of hair that accidentally fell.  If I were to ask him now, I'd say "do you like long hair, I'll sponsor you three sets!"  Why play with my hair all the time.

"How long have you been here?"  He spoke into my ear like he was screaming.

"I'm not deaf, why are you shouting?"  I shouted into his ear, his face scrunched up but he smiled at me.  It's the joke of the flower prince again.

“Everyone, the hand of the clock is already seven o'clock!  What now?"  Anne's voice has grown, and now she screams through these two powerful speakers.

“Enter the party!”  The people below were screaming hysterically, shooting confetti.

"That's right!"  Anne shouted and began to open the bottle of wine she was holding in her hand.  "Fuck" a series of wine bottles were opened after its announcement.

He went to pour wine to invite everyone, for me he left it.  Oh good, this one.  After walking around, it brought me a glass of "different species".

"Drink it, dry it up!"  He brought the wine glass to my mouth.

"What's in here?"  I pushed the wine glass away and looked at it.  It just smiled but didn't answer, and brought the glass of wine close to its mouth.  I took a breath.  About two or three minutes later, nothing happened.  This wine glass is safe.

I told myself that this time I didn't drink much, but I kept getting "overwhelmed" so now I'm a bit drunk.  Lightheaded, Anne and I began to sway to the music.

“I am very happy!”  Anne hugged me.  Oh my god, what's the matter, are you going to play lesbians.

"What's fun?"  I put my hand on his forehead, his face red from the wine looks funny.

“I'm glad you and that bastard Simon made up again!  That's cool, that's why I put on this face to congratulate you!"  It said while pointing at its face.  I pushed it out with my hand.

“Stop it, you show this face to Alder, you look sick!”  Me and him laughed together.  Indeed, when people are drunk, they are completely unaware of what they are saying.

At one o'clock in the morning, the party was now in ruins.  I trudged out of the bar, best to go home.  Avoid accidents.  I can't even walk, so it's hard to call the driver.

My eyes just wanted to close, when suddenly a hand wrapped around my shoulder, pushed me into the car and…and…I fell asleep in that luxury car.

Who still remembers me?

Today, after class, I have to follow him to sign a contract with someone.  This is a contract I look forward to.  I put a lot of heart into this contract.  Hope the partner will accept.

Sitting at the restaurant waiting for more than thirty minutes for the new partner to come.  Those were two men about my father's age.  Old tea.  According to politeness, my brother and I stood up to catch the old man who held my hand all the time and didn't let go.  I smiled and withdrew my hand.

“You signed a contract today and brought your secretary with you?  Is this girl still a student?”  He laughed wryly.  Because I'm a partner, I can't stand it, but for ordinary people, I hit him once.  For the rest of his life to drink porridge because of the crime of ambiguity.

"I'm not in the habit of having a secretary, this is my sister who came up with this project."  My brother said, very seriously, very decisively.

"Really?  Let's eat together before we discuss business!"  The old man suggested.

“Oh, in the past, I did not have the habit of eating first, table later.  I think we should get straight to the point, if we cooperate, we will celebrate together.  And if you don't cooperate, don't eat or drink at all.  Save money for both sides.”  I say exactly what I think.  I find myself saying that without any impulsiveness.

“Haha, okay girl!  I really like her personality!”  Those two men laughed, feeling nauseous to hear.  Brother?  It's funny, the two men's faces received two words, great-grandfather.

I started going into my prepared presentation.  Long story short, I hope those two fathers sign a contract.  The two of them looked at me more than at the contract.  I can feel it.

“Okay, I will sign a contract with your corporation!  But…” The two men began to offer but second, just looking at it, you know what you want.

"Thank you for your cooperation, here is the pen, hope you both read the terms carefully and then sign."  He spoke up, handing him the pen.  Both men signed, normally only one person signed but because his company has the position of co-general director.  That means there are two general managers.  So this contract is only valid when there are two signatures.

“After eating here, we will go to a place to relax.”

I said.  The two men looked at me happily.  What the hell are you looking at, my brother said so I knew where I was going.  I swore that no matter what, I would bite my tongue to death and not let any man but Simon touch me.  Suddenly he held my hand, maybe my face was too tight or something.

The four of us talked while eating, but it didn't feel natural to me.  My eyes involuntarily flicked over to the far table over there.

It was Myouin, she was sitting and talking with Simon's mother.  I can't mix those two.  Mrs. Ethri's air of a successful woman made me recognize her even when I couldn't see her face.  They were talking about something, and every now and then she glanced in my direction.  Touching each other, they nodded and greeted her with a smile.  Maybe she doesn't like me.

While contemplating what Myouin said to her, he teased me.  We had to leave the restaurant.  You pay the money, I have to go out first with those two fathers.  Don't try to mess with the princess.  He stepped out and unlocked the car's anti-theft lock with remote sensing.

The car squealed "beep" and the lights of the car flashed simultaneously.  He opened the door to invite us in, I sat in the co-driver's seat with him.  Anyway, it's safe to sit here.

Soon, for about thirty minutes, his shiny black Camry stopped in front of a club.  I have been to many different clubs with Anne's daughter, but I have never seen a club as luxurious as this one.  It's too gorgeous.  I have a membership card here, I'm a big fan of you.

He took my hand and walked in, everyone here seemed to know his face.  They all smiled as if they had known him for a long time.  The hot waitress led us upstairs and stopped at vip room one.  Room A is always, it must be expensive.

After entering the room, wine and fruit are brought in, how can it be without a waiter.  There were three long-legged girls in tight black dresses, two of them passed the other two, and one of them passed by him, but he waved his hand, she understood and went out.  Those two fathers were immersed in the color of wine, not paying attention to the surroundings.

I sat awake and ate ice cream.  He told me not to drink because I still have school tomorrow.  He takes care of me all the time.

“Do you come here often?”  I ask you.

“Yes, if you go to cooperate with these guys, come here!”  As he said that, he scooped up the ice cream from my glass and put it in his mouth. It was delicious.  I don't know if anyone compliments him for being "sober" and handsome.

"If you don't come with me, will you let her serve?"  I asked again, he was still eating.

“No, I don't like the women here touching me, filthy!  It's over!"  He put down the small spoon and looked at me smiling.

“I…how dare you eat it all without leaving me?”  I gritted my teeth and asked.

“Ten more cups!”  He spoke into the built-in machine in the room.  I rolled my eyes.  Ten cups, why eat them all.  He patted my head and smiled.  Only you can bully me so tenderly.

I rolled my eyes and ate all ten glasses.  I want to puke.  After he and I cleaned up ten glasses of ice cream, he took my hand and stood up.  I was dizzy from the cold of the ice cream so I didn't ask anything.  Out of the room, I saw him standing talking to the other waitress.

“Take good care of those two, here, I'll charge you.  The two men asked me to take my sister home first and have some work to do."  He handed her the check and then took my hand and left.

***

The Camry was parked by the river, my brother and I each had a box of fried corn and watched the night sky.  The immense river wind played with my hair and him.  The cold of the night dew seeps into my skin, but I don't feel cold because of you by my side.  But it would be warmer if the person sitting next to me right now was Simon

“How do you feel about this job?”  He asked me.

“Okay but quite difficult!”  I answer.

“What would you think if you and I held the position of co-chairman?”

“I'll let you sit there, I just need the vice president chair.  Two people sitting in the same chair will be very tight!”  I stupidly replied.

“There are some things, only when you stand at the top can you talk to them.”

I said.  What you said made me wonder, what do you mean?  But for me, it doesn't matter which chair, the important thing is that I have the talent and qualifications to sit there or not and I see that the person who deserves to sit in the chairman's chair is him, not anyone else.
