Caroline had a relaxing day at home yesterday, and today she slept until she woke up naturally, but she felt that she was not as energetic as when she was woken up by the alarm clock on weekdays.

After a simple breakfast and another cup of coffee, she simply took the Meisi-related documents from the shelf, carried them to the dining table where it was more convenient to spread the papers, and started working.

The trial of the parity counter is definitely necessary, and Ms. Green also thinks so, but there are indeed many places that need to be discussed in the details.For example, how to make arrangements to make Max Department Store attract middle-level customers and at the same time prevent upper-level customers from feeling that the existence of cheap counters in the same mall is demeaning?If the parity counter wants to adopt a walk-in design with a better experience, how can it control the goods from being stolen?

While writing down various issues that came to her mind on paper, she drew the floor plan of the first floor of Max Department Store, as well as the layout of the entire Max Department Store.If a new building is to be built on a large vacant lot next to the warehouse, perhaps a passage could be built here?

When Isabella returned to the apartment alone in the afternoon, she happened to see Caroline lying on the table revising the plan, so she didn't step forward to disturb, but did not invite Caroline until after Caroline finished.

……

This is the second time Andrew has seen the girl Caroline.

When you are a guest at home, you tend to see more than you did last time at the factory.Caroline's dress today is decent, even fashionable, and her conversation and etiquette are impeccable. Whether it's business and current affairs that men pay attention to, or fashion and celebrity anecdotes that women like to discuss, she knows everything. I can pick up a few words.Coupled with the young and handsome face, stable temperament and flexible response, it is no wonder that she has become Eve Green's most capable assistant at present.

Uncle Andrew never had any intention of interfering with the children's normal friendship, so he didn't stay long in the reception room before he planned to go back to the study alone to handle the work of the factory, leaving the entire second floor to the three young people.

"You can play cards or something together. If you are hungry, let the kitchen make food and deliver it. The people in the kitchen have already returned." After speaking, Andrew was a little worried, and went to the kitchen to arrange for the maid to deliver some snacks to the reception room later. .

Isabella and Caroline have been roommates for so long, so they are already familiar with each other. Francis has also met Caroline many times, so they have a lot of topics in common.

The three young people chatted while playing cards. This kind of poker is not the same as poker. Everyone is playing a game similar to point comparison.

When the maid brought snacks and black tea, Francis silently placed a plate of butter cookies that Caroline liked facing her.Caroline glanced at the boy who was pretending to be calm, her face was calm, but she didn't feel nothing in her heart.

While chatting, Francis seemingly casually asked how Caroline and Isabella became roommates.When he brought up this topic, he just wanted to find an opportunity to learn more about Caroline.When I asked Isabella before, I was vaguely asked by her.

"I saw the rental information in the newspaper, and then followed the address to Wellington Street." Caroline explained simply.

"At that time, I was actually just bored, so I placed an advertisement in the newspaper. I didn't really want to rent out that room at first, but I changed my mind after seeing you." Isabella was silent for a while, smiling explain.

"I know," Caroline spread her hands.

"you know?"

"You probably wanted to see me at the beginning because of my message, and then you confirmed that I was working in Meisi Department Store through the Meisi work clothes I forgot to change, and even the proposed rent should be based on the approximate salary of the salesperson. Right?" Caroline said helplessly, and she thought about it more than once later, and it was not Isabella who was not cautious enough at the time, but herself.

"At that time, I really needed such a residence, so I have always been very grateful to you. Your help to me is far more than just teaching me to paint."

"You are not just a tenant and ordinary friend to me." Isabella threw the cards aside and poured a cup of tea for Caroline.

"I used to only know what I didn't want, but I didn't know what I wanted. I liked painting since I was a child, and I didn't like factories. Later, I was a substitute teacher at school. I thought this was all I could do. But until I helped Andrew After my uncle made some style designs and improvements, I realized that the company’s affairs are not all so boring, and I can help in this regard.”

"You always said that I helped you a lot, but you let me know that a girl can also work hard to choose the life she wants"

This time it was Caroline's turn to freeze.

After a while, she picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "I didn't really have any choice at the time. I had to do it first before I could decide whether I liked it or not. If I don't like it, I can choose it when I have the right to choose." Change the direction, if you don’t like it, then stick to it. Now it seems that I’m lucky, I like the path I’m taking.”

Her voice was a little soft, but the firmness in her voice didn't lose half because of it.

Francis' right hand has been tightly clasped to the small box in his pocket since just now, which contains the Christmas gift he chose for Caroline, a rose-shaped brooch.But now he looked at Caroline on the opposite side, and felt that he might not be able to give away the gift in his hand today.

He had inquired about Caroline's background and work from Isa a long time ago, so at that time he still felt that as long as he had the courage to pursue it, this girl would probably not refuse.And the meeting at the Meisi department store's membership event made him more certain of his heart.

But now, Francis suddenly felt that he did not have that courage.

After graduating from school, Francis was in the factory every day. He could not continue his "artistic pursuit", nor could he travel around to study like many classmates.

So he felt he had given up too much.But thinking about it carefully, he doesn't seem to have done anything for more than a year. The only time he took the initiative to participate in the work seems to be the last time he studied the design of boots with Isabella and Caroline for a few days out of fun. .

He has been passively cooperating with the work.Uncle Andrew arranged for him to oversee the work, and he supervised the work, and arranged for him to check the accounts, and he went to check the accounts, neither thinking about it nor doing it on his own initiative.

In the past, he always heard his uncle talking about himself in a joking tone, but Francis always felt that it was nothing, and he had already done a lot.Listening to the conversation between his sister and Caroline now, he felt that he was really a little ignorant.

The girl on the opposite side is far more dazzling than when I first met her. Her confident smile is more irresistible than her pretty face.Maybe that's why I've never forgotten her, Francis thought.
