Chapter 4 The Separation Wall

His appearance as if he had been starved for eight lifetimes made Ella laugh out loud. Thanks to her two male partners, her staff had a delicious meal.

Yesterday afternoon, she received a call from Paul, so today, she hurriedly ordered specialties for a party to welcome them. In the end, she waited for them for many hours.

After hearing that they would come here in the evening, she had to pack the dishes and bring them back to the company.

"Tomorrow I will take you two to visit the project." Ella raised her glass of wine and said.

"I heard you say the project is very feasible, but why don't you continue implementing it and transfer it to me?" Dylan wondered.

"Our company cannot turn capital in time, and the project is almost overdue, if it is not carried out, it will be revoked. It is not simply a money-making project but also my father's wish when he was alive." She explained, her voice a little sad.

Looking at Ella's face, Dylan felt that this girl had some similarities to his mother from before. It is not easy for a woman to struggle in the business world.

"I've already ruined your day. If you have work tomorrow morning, just handle it first, we will wait. We will go visit the project in the afternoon." Dylan spoke softly.

"Okay, thank you, then see you at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." She smiled and expressed gratitude.

Not far away, three people including Nancy, Lyle, and Kent were also eating together. Kent has a plump body and although he had planned to lose weight, when he saw the two people next to him eating deliciously, he decided to be fat one more day.

"Mr. Lyle, yesterday I heard someone at the company say that Mr. Stephen personally took photos to promote jewelry products this time." Kent quickly drank a bowl of oyster porridge and spoke up.

"I asked him. Stephen is also a professional photographer."

"I heard that he seems to admire Rosalind very much." Kent chuckled.

"Really? I think he just admires Selena in the movie Bright Moonlight." Lyle replied as he put the shrimp he had just peeled into Nancy's bowl.

Hearing the two of them mention Rosalind, Nancy's movements slightly paused.

At first, she was completely unaware that the movie Bright Moonlight was a collaborative project between two corporations. It wasn't until the day Lyle sent her a photo of the main cast that she found out.

She also did not expect that Rosalind could perfectly transform into the role of Selena.

"Nancy, do you want to eat that shrimp?" Kent looked at Nancy's cup and asked.

"This is what Lyle peeled for me, of course, I will eat it."

"Nancy, tell me the truth, writer Song is a relative of yours, right?"

"What's wrong with you? I'm not related to her."

After hearing what Nancy said, Kent smiled and continued asking.

"Song is female, right? You just said her, right?"

"Actually... I can't determine Song's gender, that person's voice is half male, half female, I'm not sure." She quickly answered.

"Why are you the only one able to contact Song? I'm so doubtful."

"There is nothing suspicious. I just sent an email to that person and clearly stated Mr. Lyle's wishes, but I didn't expect that person to agree. It was because I persistently bothered Song that I received such results."

Kent had just opened his mouth to ask more when Lyle stuffed a huge shrimp in with a urging word.

"Eat quickly and go back to the hotel to rest. We have to leave early tomorrow."

After eating, the three of them returned to the hotel. Nancy entered the room, gently pushed the door open, and stepped out onto the balcony, reaching out to poke the vines that hung in front of her.

The moonlight of the winter night on the sea tonight looked so cold that it made her feel numb.

Many years have passed, neither too long nor too short, she restrained herself from looking for any news about Nathan.

However, when she saw Rosalind's photo, she couldn't control herself and continuously searched for all information related to Rosalind.

Rosalind is still single, if so, where did Nathan go? The data about the Southern company on the internet completely disappeared, and the old headquarters was also replaced by a luxurious coffee shop.

She wondered if it was because he didn't marry Rosalind that the Southern company was wiped out.

Nancy leaned her back against the wall and sighed. If she had known this outcome, she would not have left him, she would have stayed by his side and held his hand through the storm.

Maybe both of them will just be ordinary employees in some company, or open a wholesale store together, or maybe they will take each other to the countryside and raise livestock and crops.

After leaving Nathan's house, Nancy left behind the magnificent city and went to the mountains to live with her friend Jolie and her husband.

Jolie only finished high school, then quit school and went to work to support her boyfriend's education.

However, the salary of a new graduate like Mason was not enough to take care of Jolie and their children, so the whole family decided to return to their hometown to continue their parents' farming career.

Four years in the peaceful and quiet mountains somewhat eased the pain in Nancy's heart, but the sadness remained forever.

On the other side of the wall, Dylan was also leaning back and looking at the sky and sea.

The white waves ran in and out, the lights of the train flickering in the distance were returning.

Dylan raised the glass of wine to his lips and drank it all. He doesn't know when he became an alcoholic. If he wasn't drunk, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

The cold of winter made his whole body extremely sore, and the wound in his heart was even more painful.

It was just dawn, Nancy, Lyle, and Kent quickly left the hotel. Kent yawned continuously and after getting in the car, he continued to snore.

He said that except when he has to film, waking up early is torture for him.

Nancy looked at his appearance in the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing. He eats a lot and sleeps a lot, so it's natural for him to be fat.

"Mr. Lyle, please give me leave tomorrow." Nancy turned to Lyle and said.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Tomorrow is my mother's death anniversary."

"Okay, let me take you there."

As soon as Lyle finished speaking, the phone rang. The phone number displayed on the screen belongs to his assistant, Mina.

"I'm listening."

'Mr. Lyle, when are you coming back? The partner requests to meet with you to come up with design ideas for jewelry to accompany their upcoming collection." Mina's voice is very urgent.

"I'm on my way back."

"Then I'll make an appointment to meet them tomorrow."

Hearing Mina arrange the schedule, Lyle immediately turned to Nancy, she smiled and signaled him to accept.

"Okay, make an appointment and let me know the time."

Lyle reached out to turn off the phone and looked at Nancy apologetically. He had just opened his mouth to say he would take her back to visit her mother's grave when something unexpected happened.

"I'm sorry." Lyle spoke hesitantly.

"It's okay. I like taking the bus better." Nancy happily replied.

"Are you criticizing my car?"

"No, if you give me the wheel, I'll sell it and make a lot of money."

After hearing what she said, Lyle couldn't help but laugh. This girl is as funny as Stephen.

The car continued to speed along the road, the blue sea gradually disappeared, and behind Nancy was the sound of Kent's steady breathing.
