Chapter 97 Come Again
James didn't want Gail to find a job at the moment. He knew she was in great need of a job, but he didn't want her to find some foul things.
"But... I have to find a job. It's a new era. How can a girl rely on her boyfriend? Besides, her boyfriend may not want to support her someday. If the girl has no job, she will become lazy and live a ugly life with a crooked body..." Gail was about to enumerated, but was interrupted by James gently.
"That's what I want. I know you're determined. Even if you don't find a job, you'll find something what you like and I am relieved. You don't have to look for a job now. The results of the exam will come out soon, wait for me!"
"But one month later, I..."
"Honey, wait for me! You are not allowed to go anywhere. I will pay you living expense this month. You can go to the library to read books first. If you still feel so sorry, just give it back to me in due course! Remember, don't look for a job, or your legs will be kicked.
"But I..."
"I have to hang up first. Watch out your legs!"
"James..."
"Baby, don't miss me too much. I'll be back in a few days. Baby, I love you!" With these words, James hung up the phone, leaving Gail no chance to speak. Staring at the screen, Gail was annoyed but sweet.
It felt good to be spoiled by a person. Looking out of the window at the newly sprouted tender shoot, it swayed a lot in the afterglow of dusk. Everywhere was filled with poetic beauty. This was probably the feeling of being passionately in love.
Different from being James's secretary in the company, now both of them knew better to cherish each other than before. However, Gail didn't know whether the God was easy to envy happy people, but she felt a little melancholy at the bottom of her heart.
There was a flying bird in the sky. When Gail thought of James, the deep affection in silence filled her heart. But she still worried that such sweet moment would be temporary.
As both of them were in the period of love, they would always fantasize to extend their love period indefinitely. It would be best if they could stay with each other forever as long as they held each other in their hands. And it would be best if their love would be signed on each other's forehead, so that there would be only each other in their eyes.
However, in such an era, it seemed to be more difficult to make the wish of a couple to be alive than letting the Goddess Chang's fly to the moon.
Accidentally, Gail stood in front of the window and began to worry about losing.
The next day, after a good day's rest, Gail didn't go out to find a job. Since she had plenty of time, she decided to go back to her dormitory and copy the poem on the pale yellow paper.
"Gai, what's wrong with you? You don't want to find a job, and you're not in a hurry to read. You've spent more time with me. Is your boyfriend coming back?" Iris was eating a big red apple. The slashing sound of the apple echoed in her mouth.
"I am giving myself a day off. I haven't had a rest for a long time. The whole body was tight. Aren't you going to find a job? Why are you free today?" Since James had warned Gail several times not to find a job, she didn't go out. But why did Iris stay in the dormitory?
"Well... Because I'm not happy!" Iris looked at the white ceiling while eating an apple.
Gail was copying the poem on a piece of paper, "Did you get lovesick because you just arrived at your puberty and found the boy you love?"
"Well! Almost! I think that Jake is handsome, but he is very boring. He didn't respond to a natural beauty like me!" Iris thumped the table in disappointment.
"What?" Surprised, Gail stopped working and asked, "What did you do to him? Did you give him any hint?"
"Nonsense! I'm talking to him all the time. How could I give him any hint? I just like some of his works and like his new products. I also asked him why he didn't have a girlfriend. He said he hadn't found someone suitable. And I said I could be his girlfriend if he couldn't find one. As a result..." Iris refrained from saying anything and looked very aggrieved.
"So what?" It was the first time that Gail heard that Iris had said something like that to a boy!
Iris took a big bite of the apple with resentment and said, "He didn't reply to my message any more. I said I was just kidding, but it took him about an hour to say that he was too busy to talk to me." Gail understood that it was Jake's rejection. But Iris had liked him for a long time.
"Iris, in fact, such a workaholic man like him is not suitable for you at all. He is impersonal. I don't know why you like him. When he talked to us, he just wanted to have a business talk. You'd better let it go." If it were for the fact that Jake had feelings for Iris, Gail might have been unable to stand it.
Iris sighed and said, "I want to do like that, but I love him very much. I think he is handsome and successful. He is able to attract me. What can I do?"
Once a girl chose a man for her, she would basically think that she just wanted to marry him. She would never change her mind before she gave up.
Everyone couldn't help each other in a relationship. That was a disaster just for one person. The person who succeeded would hold the other's hand and get the respond from the other. The person who failed would feel depressed and heartbroken, and then she realized that she should make another choice or live the rest of her life alone.
"Don't worry. You will know and change your mind when you meet someone better. Or maybe one day he finally realized that you are the best for him. But you have to put a lot of efforts into it, and now it's not so easy to pursue a man. It's up to you. But I don't think you will feel wronged. If you get close to him, you will find that a person who doesn't love you is just a loser."
Iris sniffed at Gail's words. "You have just been in a relationship for a few times, but you are so talkative. Where did you plagiarize the chicken soup and give it to me?"
"See that. You're so smart, and there's no need for me to worry about you. I'd better discipline myself first." Gail went back to her seat and started writing.
At this time, the phone in her pocket rang. Gail picked it up and saw a strange number.
"Who is it? Is it the man who confessed to you?" It was quite familiar for Iris to see her hesitation, but Gail just didn't change her phone number.
"I don't know. It seems that the number didn't come from our school."
"Pick it up then. You don't have to pay for it anyway." Iris took another apple to her and continued talking on the chair.
Iris was right. If it was an important call, Gail couldn't miss it. Since Gail started over with James, she believed more in him.
"Hello, is that Gail? I'm Emily."
'Emily, why did she call me?'
"What do you want?" Gail asked out of politeness, though she didn't want to talk to her.
What Gail worried most was that Emily would come to her. She had already mentally prepared. She didn't expect that it would happen so soon.
