The Day He Matured

After listening to the car salesman’s advice on car types, Brian chose a car branded KIA K3, glossy black.

According to what he told me, he could only buy a cheap car. Yes, it’s cheap. The price of the car and registration tax is approximately thirty thousand dollars.

If he took that money to the countryside, he would buy a large piece of land.

“Let’s go have dinner, Bella. Let’s go to the barbecue restaurant to eat.”

Brian said as he pulled my hand and soon he pulled me into the car and fastened my seat belt.

Looks like this guy overcame the shock quite quickly. That’s right, it’s because he gave up that position himself.

Late afternoon, the barbecue restaurant is also quite crowded. We walked to the table in the corner and sat. It seems like no one likes sitting in this position.

Because I knew Brian didn’t like Harold, I didn’t dare reveal that his brother called me.

“Do you… Do you have much money left, Brian?” I asked.

“Nearly two hundred fifty thousand dollars.” He replied calmly.

Oh my god. I still think that after buying the car, he only had about three thousand dollars or thirty thousand dollars left.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Harold tricked me. Because I thought Brian had no money left, I was bold enough to invite him to live with me.

However, his current assets are only slightly higher than that diamond ring.

I suddenly felt that my value was great, I felt that I was really expensive.

“Where are you going to apply for a job?”

After asking this question, I really wanted to slap my mouth.

At least, Brian needs some time to regain his spirit and balance his life before thinking about making money, right?

Does he think I’m being too pragmatic?

“I will start my own business. Please help me.”

What? He asked me to help him, huh? How to help? I’m still unemployed.

If only he hadn’t tormented me, I would still be a real estate salesperson for the AD company.

I will aggressively approach, entice customers to buy apartments, and earn large sums of money to help him.

“We will open a company specializing in the fashion field. Specifically, the garment sector.” Brian picked up a piece of grilled meat, put it in my bowl, and said.

“Do you have any experience in this field?”

“Of course. I once cooperated with my friend to open a company specializing in processing goods for famous fashion brands. But while I was in the hospital for more than a year, the company went bankrupt and had to be sold to someone else. Luckily, I was able to recover some money, otherwise, I would be completely empty-handed right now.”

Ah, I understand now. It turned out that Brian’s money came from his own business activities.

Brian’s colleague is also really talented. But I can’t blame him because doing business always has potential risks.

There are famous companies and corporations that have stood firm in the market for decades but suddenly declared bankruptcy.

Is Brian always worried that one day he will be expelled from Hana Group? That’s why he built his own career.

After the meal ended, he drove me around the city before returning home.

The small house seemed much more cozy when a man appeared, giving me a feeling of safety.

“Good night. Perhaps you won’t be able to sleep well the first few nights in a strange place.” I shyly spoke up.

“Your house is not a strange place. I’ve slept before and slept very well. Good night.”

My heart suddenly fluttered, as if I had fallen in love for the first time. I don’t know what the current relationship is between me and him. But perhaps that doesn’t matter.

I get to live in the same house with him, eat meals with him, sleep in the room next to his room, and see him every day. I’m happy.

For several hours, I kept tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Every time I thought about Brian being in the next room, I felt uneasy.

Losing face. Despicable. Why did I become like this? I’m a person who is fascinated by men.

I hope that when dawn comes again, Brian will still be with me, and it won’t all be a vain dream.

After two days, Brian and I went together to the places for rent posted online.

There are places that are narrow and located deep in alleys, but the owners rent them out at very high prices. Beautiful and airy places, near main roads, the owners rent out at extremely high prices.

The last place we went to was not planned. We were just driving on the road and saw a rental sign hanging up, so we stopped.

Welcoming us was a woman about fifty years old.

“One thousand dollars a month is too cheap. This place is very spacious, suitable for opening a factory. Right in front of the main road, transporting goods is very convenient.” She said while taking us around to look around.

“Is seven hundred dollars okay? It’s also a bit degraded, we have to repaint it.” I showed off my talent in bargaining.

“Brian, Bella.”

The sudden call made both Brian and I turn our heads at the same time.

It turned out that the person who had just spoken was Martin. Why is he here?

“Oh Martin, do you know them? You came at the right time. See if you can reduce their rent.”

She pulled Martin close to us and told him that we needed to rent this space but only paid seven hundred dollars.

I saw Martin’s eyes looking at Brian full of sympathy, but Brian didn’t even look at him.

I didn’t expect this place to be owned by Martin.

According to the words that Martin and the woman exchanged, I knew she was his aunt.

“Two hundred dollars in one month.”

My eyes almost fell out when I heard Martin offer a low price. And Martin’s aunt also gasped.

Surely Martin knew about Brian leaving Hana Group, so he was intentionally helping Brian.

But why didn’t the guy standing next to me say anything? It’s so good, what else?

“Don’t rent anymore, let’s go, Bella.”

After saying that, Brian grabbed my hand and pulled me outside before the older woman’s wide eyes.

He opened the car door, stuffed me into the car, and drove away.

Oh my god, such a big space only costs two hundred dollars a month. Ripe rice is rice that bows its head. Why doesn’t he let go of past conflicts?

After all, what did Martin do to make Brian so angry? He took Brian’s virginity, right?

“Bella, today I crave sour soup. Please cook sour soup for me to eat.”

“Okay, let’s stop by the market.” I nodded.

Our efforts today have turned into nothing, we’ve spent several liters of gas and still haven’t been able to rent a place. I really want to rent that place.

As soon as the car stopped, I opened the car door and walked into the market.

Looking at the snakehead fish swimming in the aluminum pot, I suddenly stopped being angry at Brian.

Poor him. The way he asked for me was like a child asking for his mother.

“Girl, please catch me a snakehead fish.” I pointed at the snakehead fish looking at me and said.
