Sister Minnie and Hansheng moved to a new apartment some time ago, which has two big rooms and is not far from her current two or three employers’ homes. Organized a nursery and took care of the children who came over at home.

My brother-in-law Han Sheng also moved to a new company with another colleague a few months ago. Although he still does logistics-related work, the salary is higher than before.The current income of the two can add up to 20 yuan a week, and life is naturally more relaxed than before.

When she went to Minnie's house yesterday, Caroline had already agreed with her sister that she would be with her friends tonight.

After finishing all the work early, Caroline looked at the time, and it was already a quarter past six.

Thinking of the agreement with Francis, Caroline hurried back to the staff lounge, changed into a set of light-colored silk dresses brought in advance, put the work clothes into her locker, and re-coiled her hair again, no longer looking like The hairstyle at work is so meticulous, but two strands of hair are braided to decorate the ears, and then a pearl hair accessory is pinned on one side.

Standing in front of the mirror and arranging the bow on the belt, Caroline saw the girl in the mirror who couldn't help but smile.It seemed that she was looking forward to this dinner more than she realized.

Although it is a habit for ladies to arrive late, Caroline has always been a punctual person, so she was ready when there was still a quarter to seven o'clock.When going downstairs, she just ran into Ms. Green coming out of the office.

The 20-year-old girl rarely changed her usual simple professional style, and put on well-dressed clothing and makeup, standing in front of Ms. Green with a smile like a champagne-colored rose that has just opened with dew.

"You are so beautiful today, Caroline, do you have any special date?" She looked at the girl with the corners of her mouth raised, and joked seemingly casually.

"It's not a date, it's just a dinner, but I want to thank you for your compliment." Caroline held up her skirt and gave a ladylike farewell to Ms. Green, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, saying farewell.

After counting the time, Caroline came to Brett Hotel in a rented carriage.

"Good evening, Miss Mibo, welcome." The receptionist at the entrance of Brett Hotel greeted Caroline in a gentlemanly way, and opened the hotel's glass door for her.

Max Department Store has a long-term cooperation with Brett Restaurant, and most of the food in the customer rest area on the third floor is ordered from here.And Caroline has come here more than once on behalf of Meisi Department Store to communicate with the relevant person in charge of the hotel, so the receptionist of Brett Hotel is very impressed with this young lady.

"Good evening," Caroline nodded to him, and then said to another waiter who was walking towards her, "I have an appointment with Mr. Corey."

The waiter led Caroline to a location in the restaurant on the west side, and Francis had already arrived.

He had actually been here for quite a while, originally he was wearing a pure black dress suit and an off-white satin bow tie.Because of the hot weather and a little nervousness, even though Francis took off his coat, the sweat still soaked the shirt under the vest.

Caroline looked at the boy who got up immediately after seeing her, and couldn't help smiling again.

Compared with the days when Caroline first met him, Francis has grown into a tall and handsome young man now.But the still somewhat thin figure and the pair of eyes that often silently look at Caroline are still familiar.

Caroline handed the hat and gloves she took off to the waiter, and after the waiter pulled out a chair for her, she sat down opposite Francis.

"The French cuisine at Brett's is particularly good. The restaurants here and the Palmer's are the most worthwhile restaurants in Chicago," Francis said, looking at Caroline.

He didn't know what he was talking about. He obviously invited Caroline here because he knew she liked the desserts at Brett's Restaurant. Why did he mention these things again?Every time he was in front of Caroline, he always did this. He obviously prepared several topics this afternoon. Thinking of this, Francis clasped his nails into his palms.

Caroline looked at the embarrassment shown by Francis, and took up the topic with a smile, "Yes, the chefs here are well versed in the essence of French cuisine, but I think the best thing here is that their chefs are not stubborn. Rather than insisting on the flavor of the dishes, they respect the customer's eating experience more", this is what Caroline discovered when Ms. Dai Green came to talk about the new dessert order.

Francis quickly continued the topic.And whenever he paused, Caroline would take the initiative to offer new topics, such as asking him about the Meisi membership activities, listening to him talk about his time at school, and talking about Uncle Andrew's recent Is there anything new in the factory?

At the beginning, Caroline did this habitually, just like she communicated with countless customers every day.But soon, she found that she enjoyed the way the man in front of her looked at her seriously and talked to her, just like she also liked the way he nervously didn't know what to say in front of her.

On the other hand, Francis also gradually became involved in the communication with Caroline, and he didn't realize that it had been so long until the waiter asked them if they could serve the first soup.

"Just a moment, please," he said to the waiter.

"What's wrong?" Caroline asked.

"I want...to wish you a happy birthday first." Francis took out a delicate packing box.

Francis had prepared this gift before Christmas last year, but he didn't send it out at that time.Now, he finally had the chance to be alone with Caroline, and he could finally bring this rose brooch to her as a gift.

Thinking of this, he carefully handed the gift box to Caroline.

Caroline stretched out her hands, took the box from Francis, and opened the exquisite box expectantly.

The rose-shaped brooch lies in a black velvet-lined box, and the fine gemstones shimmer slightly under the light.

"It's too expensive," Caroline said immediately after seeing the jewelry in the box. She and Francis are just friends now, and it's not suitable to accept such an expensive gift.

"I didn't send it." Francis looked at Caroline's expression that seemed to be refusing, and quickly said, "I mean, I didn't send it by myself. It was given by Isa, Uncle Andrew, and I." Your 20th birthday present."

Caroline was suspicious, she raised her eyes and looked at Francis seriously.And Francis forced himself to straighten his back, looking back at Caroline motionless, even though the back of his ears gradually turned red under her gaze, he did not move his eyes away.

"Okay," Caroline looked away, "Then I'll accept it, and please help me thank Isa and Uncle Andrew."

"And thank you, Francis."
