Loreen didn’t want to pick up the call as favonovel.com stared at Harold’s name on favonovel.com phone.
She didn’t have a good impression of Harold, and favonovel.com could see right through his superficial motive of approaching her. He simply wanted to get close to favonovel.com and tackle favonovel.com heart.
She was very annoyed by this person’s existence and immediately hung up the phone.
However, Harold couldn’t take no for an answer. He attempted several times until Loreen reluctantly picked up the call and coldly asked, “What’s up, Harold?”
Harold, on the other end of the line, hurriedly said, “Loreen, I heard that you are appointed as the sales director, is it true?”
Loreen was surprised. “How do you get the news so fast?”
Harold chuckled. “I have some friends who work in Emgrand Group, they told me that they received the official announcement about the appointment, so I called to congratulate you.”
“Oh,” Loreen said, “Yes, I’m appointed as the sales director.”
“Congratulations!” Harold shrieked in delight. “It is a position with a lot of real power in your hands! You are so lucky!”
Loreen said flatly, “Thanks.”
“Loreen, you’ve been in Aurous Hill for some time now but we haven’t met often. I’m sorry for the unfortunate incident in Heaven Springs the other day, so, to express my apology, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. It’s a joyful day too since you are appointed as the sales director. We should really celebrate the joyful moment. What do you say?”
Loreen started declining his offer, “But, I might have to work overtime tonight…”
“Loreen, we must celebrate when it’s still fresh, otherwise, the joyful feeling will fade tomorrow. Besides, you don’t have many friends here in Aurous Hill. Why don’t I book a table just for the two of us and have a quiet celebration? What do you think?”
Loreen was touched at the moment.
Honestly, favonovel.com was eager to celebrate favonovel.com joyful achievement, but Claire couldn’t come, and favonovel.com couldn’t find any other person to celebrate with her.
Now that Harold took the initiative to call, favonovel.com was the second-best alternative choice despite his hypocritical personality. It was better for two people to celebrate than being alone.
Loreen succumbed to his request and said, “Okay, send me the address then.”
“Okay, I have reserved a table at Aurous Bistro, just say my name when you arrive.”
Loreen nodded. “Okay, I’ll be there in a while.”
***
Loreen left the office and took a taxi to Aurous Bistro. It was one of the top restaurants in Aurous Hill although it paled in comparison to Heaven Springs.
Harold was standing at the door, tall and straight, waiting for Loreen. He donned a suit with a slick hairstyle, trying to look smart and elegant. However, the bandage on his arm was such an eyesore that it completely destroyed the casual look that favonovel.com was trying to portrait.
Loreen was wearing a casual T-shirt and a pair of jeans, radiating the youthful and energetic aura. She attracted all the attention around favonovel.com the moment favonovel.com got out of the taxi.
Harold grinned sheepishly. Then, favonovel.com hurriedly marched forward and greeted Loreen, “Hi, you’re so beautiful today. Let’s go in, our table is ready.”
“Thank you.” Loreen smiled politely.
They took their seats, and very soon, the food was served.
Harold asked the waiter to bring a bottle of fine red wine. Then, favonovel.com turned to Loreen and complimented, “It’s such a happy day today, why don’t we drink some wine to celebrate!”
Loreen shook favonovel.com hands instantly and said, “I think I’ll pass, I’ll just have some juice.”
“No can do!” Harold shrieked.
He wanted to make Loreen drunk and see if favonovel.com could find a chance to jump on her, but Loreen immediately refused his request to drink, which made favonovel.com utterly disappointed.
Loreen said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Harold, I’m not feeling well today, so I can’t drink. Let’s find a chance next time to get together and have a glass or two.”
