"Mom, don't worry. Who knows if I might turn out to be a business whizz-kid someday?" I wasn't sure if I was comforting my mom or myself.
Anyway, my mom had a good laugh at my comment, she responded, "Whatever you decide to do, your dad and I will support you. You're our only child, as long as you're happy, we're happy."
I must've been out of my mind in my past life. I have such wonderful parents with such a strong financial backing, yet obsessing over Neil endlessly, only to be left with nothing but pain.
If I could move my head more freely right now, I'd give my mom a big hug, but my injury didn't allow it.
My mom stayed by my side for a while, then said she was going back home to cook some butter roasted chicken for me, which I was really in the mood for, so I immediately agreed. After she left, Stella Wallace, Alicia Rider, and Barbara rushed over.
Seeing my head wrapped in bandages, they were all heartbroken, asking me, "How are you? Is your head still hurting?"
"Who did this to you? I'll give them a taste of the result of their behavior!"
"How long is it till you can recover?"
Hearing their words, I felt comfort. Although I was injured, I was glad to have this group of female friends who cared for me. Life really is beautiful.
I answered them, "I'm fine, just a minor concussion. I'm currently working at Whitmore Co., I was there with Neil negotiating with a resident, but things didn't go well and someone took it out on me." I explained the situation.
Stella put some nutritional supplements on the table, and then began to complain, "Really, does Neil have something against you? You used to be his loyal follower, now you've stopped following him and he's got you concussed. I think you should divorce him sooner rather than later."
Alicia agreed, "Right, I heard if two people aren't compatible, they'll hold each other back. Whoever has the better luck can suppress the other."
"Then Neil must be very lucky." I sighed and asked Barbara, "Barbara, how come you're here? Did you go to Whitmore Co.?"
Barbara shook her head, "I didn't go, but I sent my mom."
I was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a look of admiration. Brilliant!
My original plan was for Barbara to cause a scene at Whitmore Co., brandishing the evidence I had taken, accusing Norman of his infidelity, which would cause a lot of negative impact for the company, and Whitmore Co. would then fire Norman who was still in his intern period, leaving him with nothing.
But having her parents go was actually a better choice.
Barbara said indignantly, "After my mom caused a scene at the company, Norman actually dared to call me and said a bunch of stuff."
"What did he say? What did you say?" I asked curiously.
"He said he was wrong and hoped I could forgive him, what a shameless man!" Barbara replied, "Then I told him I loved him very much and was willing to forgive him, and I even had some personal savings that I could use to go back to his hometown with him to work, but my parents were strongly against it and wanted me to break up with him, there was nothing I could do."
As soon as Barbara finished, Stella, Alicia, and I all started laughing, her mind really was quick.
In this way, Norman would not have any excuses to refuse her. His standards for a future girlfriend would also be very high, where would he find another girl who is both wealthy and loves him? He would always remember Barbara's kindness to him, but he didn't cherish it, and ended up losing everything.
They stayed with me for a long time before they left. I was bored, so I started playing a game on my phone, but the later levels were too difficult, I gradually became frustrated.
"I'm pissed!" After failing the level twelve times, I was about to threw my phone.
