Click, click, click... The sound of high heels echoed through the quiet cubicles of StarCom Inc. A stunningly beautiful woman with a tall and slender figure approached gracefully.
She was dressed in a simple yet exquisite black professional skirt suit, her chestnut long curly hair casually draped behind her, and her eyes, the color of glaze, exuded a sense of indifference and detachment.
Seeing such a beauty, everyone suddenly sat up straight, as if facing a formidable opponent.
"Anna, finish this report quickly and give it to me before noon tomorrow," Bella Thompson handed over the documents to her subordinate.
"Yes, Manager Thompson."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Bella nodded and turned to another person: "Chris, come to my office and talk to me about the two companies youve been in contact with recently."
Watching the beautiful and moving figure walk away, her subordinates all breathed a sigh of relief.
A new employee was puzzled: "Manager Thompson is such a beauty, why are you all so scared?"
The old employees smiled, indeed, they were still too young.
An experienced colleague patted his shoulder and kindly reminded him: "Dont judge a book by its cover."
After saying that, everyone left the confused new employee and went back to work.
After finishing her morning tasks, Bella glanced at her watch, just about to get up for lunch, when the phone on her desk rang.
"Mom, whats up?"
"How can you say that? Cant I call my daughter if theres nothing wrong?"
"No, Im working!" Bella understood her mom well, she never called without a reason.
"Always working, planning to spend a lifetime with work? Do you know youre almost thirty?" Linda Thompson complained.
Bellas delicate face was lined with black: "Ms. Lin, let me correct you, Im not even twenty-eight for another four months."
"Whats the difference with thirty? Its just a blink of an eye." Linda was disgusted.
"If youre done, Im hanging up." Bella had given up arguing with her mom, who had automatically rounded her age up to thirty since she was twenty-five.
"Wait a minute, its like this, your Aunt Huang has a distant nephew who works in a certain agency in Boston. I heard hes a handsome and promising young man. Do you have time to have dinner with him after work?"
"No time." Bella refused straightforwardly.
"You kid, if youre like this, Ill go to Boston tomorrow." Lindas tone implied a threat.
Bella felt a headache coming: "Alright, Ill go. Send me the name and place later."
After hanging up the phone, she was so annoyed that she didnt even feel like eating, and turned on her computer to continue working.
West End Bistro.
Bella looked at the man who had been talking non-stop for a long time and frowned. The other party was oblivious.
"Well, Mr. Clark, I know you are very outstanding." Bella interrupted him.
The self-praising man, who claimed to be a prestigious graduate with a promising future and a dragon among people, finally stopped reluctantly and took a sip of water.
Bella was just relieved and wanted to make an excuse to leave when she heard the other party speak again, "Since you understand me, lets talk about you. I heard from Aunt Huang that you work in a venture capital company, are you a clerk?"
It seems that Aunt Huang didnt introduce it very clearly, Bella didnt want to say much and perfunctorily said, "Yes, a regular employee."
Then Mr. Clarks sense of superiority came back: "Well, youre so old and still just a regular employee, your ability is not good! But fortunately, you look good. My mom said that when looking for a daughter-in-law, one should look for a virtuous woman."
Bella looked at her reflection in the window, her hair neatly tied up, her whole black professional suit, and a pair of black-framed glasses on her face, looking both old-fashioned and stuffy.
If she had known that this man had such a strange aesthetic, she wouldnt have deliberately changed into this; she should have dressed as flirtatious as possible. A misstep!
"You must not earn much money. After we get married, I hope you resign and stay at home to be a full-time wife and take care of the children without any objections, right? I think my monthly salary of eight thousand is enough to support the family!"
"Also, I heard that your father is a professor, so he should have a pension, so we dont need to support him. I will give you five hundred dollars every month to buy clothes and cosmetics, but I also hope that you can take care of my parents wholeheartedly."
Bella felt a throb in her temple. She smiled coldly, her voice already carrying some displeasure: "Does Mr. Clark have any other conditions?"
Unfortunately, the man in front of her was completely insensitive and continued to speak happily after hearing her words: "You are indeed a sensible and housewifely woman, and I hope you can understand me and take the initiative to admit your mistakes if we have any conflicts after marriage. I may sometimes be an immature man, but I think with your age, you should know how to be tolerant!"
Great, this is the second time her age has been mentioned.
Bella sneered, this is not an immature man, this is not a person at all.
Why did she waste her precious half an hour to listen to a fools self-entertainment.
Bella was about to get angry, but she heard a chuckle from the side.
Jason Moore couldnt believe that he could witness a legendary Chinese-style blind date as soon as he returned to the country.
He was holding back a smile when he heard "virtuous woman," and he couldnt help but laugh after hearing the last sentence.
Ethan Anderson, who had been talking to him, was puzzled and looked at him: "Did I just tell a joke?"
"Nothing, continue!" He pretended to glance at Bellas table unintentionally, but just happened to meet Bellas eyes.
From the beginning, he felt that this woman was very familiar, but he couldnt remember where he had seen her before.
Sitting next to Bella, after struggling for so many years, naturally heard the ridicule in Jason Moores laughter.
Is my joke so funny? Its so interesting to watch, its more interesting to go on stage personally.
Here, Jason Moore still didnt know that he had hit Bellas gun.
Bella withdrew her gaze and looked at the strange blind date object in front of her with a smile: "I think your requirements are very reasonable."
Seeing the man in front of her showing a complacent and proud expression, she turned a sharp corner: "But I have only one condition."
She pointed to the side with her delicate fingers, "When you grow up to look like him, then come and marry me!"
The strange man Tom Clark followed her fingers and looked at Jason Moores handsome face that was hard to look away from, gasping: "Are you crazy? How is that possible?"
"So you want to marry me? What makes you think its possible?"
"Bella, you should also look at your age. An old woman in her thirties still wants to find such a pretty boy?" Tom Clark, who finally realized he was fooled, pointed at Jason Moore in anger, "I spit!"
"..." Jason Moore, who was suddenly involved in the battlefield, was stunned for a moment, Bella Thompson?
His black eyes like ink show a meaningful smile.
Interesting!
"Let alone thirty, even if I am sixty years old, I like such a man, as for your kind? Even if I am ninety years old and blind, I wont look down on it." Bella Thompson mocked and raised the corners of her mouth.
Jason Moore suddenly turned and said to Bella Thompson, "Thank you, I am honored."
"Youre welcome!" Bella Thompson didnt expect him to add a play, and perfunctorily said.
Seeing the two people "collude" in front of themselves, Tom Clark said angrily, "What kind of virtuous woman is this, seducing men in public, indecent and shameless!"
Hearing this, Bella Thompson finally couldnt help it and picked up the wine glass and splashed it at Tom Clark, coldly spitting out two words from her mouth: "Idiot!"
In this flash of lightning, Jason Moores mind flashed through a figure and the woman in front of him overlapped, and he finally understood the sense of familiarity towards Bella Thompson...
