"Yes, Mr. Amery!" Tina smiled and nodded.
She was not surprised. The other side had heard her colleague call her name just now.
But his expression seemed to be a little strange.
Bill was pulled back to reality from his memories. He quickly regained his composure and asked in surprise, "You know me?"
Tina said, "You are the guest invited today, and I was lucky enough to watch an exclusive interview about you before!"
In fact, she also wanted to say that his wife Lin had always been her idol, but she was afraid of giving him the feeling that she was deliberately trying to get in touch with him, so she held back.
Bill smiled and nodded.
Like other entrepreneurs, he had a strong momentum, but was also very approachable and didn't put on airs.
From the outline of his face, one could vaguely find that he must be elegant when he was young.
Tina had a very good impression of him in her heart. "I'm sorry, Mr. Amery," she said apologetically, "I didn't watch the road when I came out. Sorry for accidentally bumping into you!" "It doesn't matter!" Bill said gently.
Tina saw someone who looked like a secretary coming over. She nodded and then left.
She only took it as a minor episode and did not take it seriously. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The next afternoon, Tina was still busy with her work.
After finishing two news reports, she sat in front of her computer, sorting out the messy drafts.
Outside the open window, the sunlight was at its strongest and golden rays of light seeped in through the glass. Fortunately, the air conditioner in the office was on.
Her phone vibrated, and the screen lit up.
Tina took it over and when she saw the sender, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
It was a message from Wilson. "I'll pick you up after work. We'll sleep in the No.1 Luxurious Residence tonight!"
Even if it was only a text, Tina could hear his lazy voice.
In particular, the last few words were full of ambiguity.
Tina replied with a "okay" before blushing slightly.
Footsteps sounded behind her. Seeing Bonnie coming in from outside, Tina quickly covered her hot cheek with hands in order not to be found, and continued to modify the thesis as if nothing had happened.
However, Bonnie still went straight to her. "Tina, someone is looking for you outside!"
Tina was slightly stunned. "Who is it?"
Bonnie shrugged. "I don't know, but this time it's a man!"
Tina's heart began to beat fast.
"Could it be Wilson?"
She soon dismissed this idea. He had just sent her a text message. If he really came to the office, it would definitely cause a big sensation. Then she would not have to work here anymore!
Tina walked out of the office in confusion, wondering who would come to find her.
When she saw Bill, she was very surprised.
Bill was dressed in a casual and low-key manner. He did not bring a secretary with him, so no one would be able to recognize his identity.
Bill also felt sorry for his own actions. He hesitated and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your work, Miss Hall! But, can you talk to me for a while?"
Tina was puzzled, but she still agreed. "Yes!"
Bill was refined and polite. It was hard for anyone to reject him.
Tina took him to a cafe near the office building.
Last time, she came here to talk about the matter of the studio with Susan. This time, she didn't know why the other party was looking for her.
Two cups of coffee were placed on the table. Tina took a sip and asked confusedly, "Mr. Amery, what can I do for you?"
Bill did not drink his coffee. Instead, he kept stirring it with a spoon. His emotions were constantly rising and falling.
After he met Tina yesterday, he returned home and felt ill at ease. After hesitating for a while, he could not help but come over to look for her.
Bill cleared his throat and asked, "Miss Hall, may I ask, is your mother called Ovia Huff?"
Tina was surprised and looked at Bill in shock. "How... how do you know?"
She was too surprised.
As soon as she sat down, Tina began to guess the reason why Bill came to her.
After thinking for a while, she found that there seemed to be only one reason, which was Ab by. She was the young lady of the Amery family, Bill's niece, so he showed up.
But she didn't expect that it was because of her mother!
Bill paused for a moment before speaking again. "Your mother is an old friend of mine!"
There were many people with the same name and surname in the world, but Bill was almost certain when he saw Tina for the first time.
She was Ovia's daughter.
Her facial features were almost exactly the same as Ovia when she was young.
Ovia was Bill's first love. Bill was born in a rich and powerful family. When he was young, he hated the hypocritical flattering around him very much. He wanted to get out of the vanity fair, so he sneaked out of home.
He came to a small company to work. At that time, he knew Ovia.
Among all the girls in the office, only she did not mind that Bill was a poor boy. They fell in love at first sight and their relationship grew deeper and deeper. They rented the cheapest house near the company and lived together like Adam and Eve.
Later, the Amery family found Bill.
Although Ovia was shocked and angry at his deliberate concealment, she still went to the Amery family with Bill.
This was a typical story of a rich childe falling in love with Cinderella, but unfortunately, it ended in a miserable end.
Ovia was a very proud woman. Her self- esteem was very strong. She could not compromise to the strict rules of a rich and powerful family, as well as Old Madam Amery's difficulties and the disrespect of the servants.
She felt that this was not the life she wanted. She was disappointed and was not willing to live such a life, so she resolutely broke up with Bill.
When she loved him, she showed her love without reservation. When she decided to leave him, she was even more decisive.
Except for the album, nothing was left.
So many years had passed. Sometimes, Bill would see the woman who had amazed him for an entire time in his dream. When he woke up, there was nothing.
It was as if Ovia had never existed and it was just a dream...
Bill held the spoon tightly. He took a deep breath and asked, "Miss Hall, how is your mom now?"
He had no other intention but to ask in person.
He wanted to know what happened to her during so many years. This was the reason why he had come today.
Tina lowered her eyes when she heard that. "She's dead!"
Bill's body shook. "What!"
He widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at her in shock.
Speaking of her deceased mother, Tina was also very sad. She whispered slowly, "It has been almost ten years. When I was sixteen, she died!"
Bill seemed to be frozen.
