"Love ourselves? Mister Ford, do you mean that I should have self-love?" asked Eevonne.
"Something like that. There are types of self -love for a person. The easiest one to understand is the literal meaning, which was to love yourself. Always think for yourself first for everything without harming others. To let yourself be comfortable and let yourself be in the strongest and safest position. That would mean that you're loving yourself."
Eevonne's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mister Ford, I...I seem to have understood...please continue."
She gradually felt that Sebastian was not scary anymore. She realized that he was truly a wise person. He was able to give her directions immediately. Under Sebastian's guidance, Eevonne understood that it was not important to regain one's pride. Sometimes, you would be caught in a tangle if you value your pride too much. Valuing one's pride too much was also a sign of inferiority. Also, it would become a drawback for others to attack you. To be truly confident was not something to regain by trading it with pride.
Instead, it was to have a calm and strong mind. This meant that as long as a person did not do anything that went against their conscience and the law, and did not hurt anybody at that moment, then they themselves would be the most outstanding and the cutest. In terms of the subjective sense of self, as long as a person did not get in the way of others, then the person would be the best. The best! A person has to live freely without being restrained by external factors.
"Mister Ford, I understand what you mean when you ask me to be heartless. I have to be heartless, which means that I'll no longer go easy on the people who have an opinion about me and the people who could not change the way they see me even with my efforts and changes I will get rid of him from my mind without any hesitation! I also understood what you meant when you told me I’m the master of the Ford Group just now. As the master and also a staff of the company, while I am working at the company, I only have one type of identity, which is the Ford Group's business development executive. Being in the position of a business development executive, I don't have any enemies, people that I hate, and also people who have a conflict with me in my eyes. All I see is my client and the person I'm collaborating with. Even if I have an irresolvable grudge against this person, as long as I am still working, then this person would simply be someone I'm collaborating with. I have to put my mindset right. I can't be arrogant and complacent, and I also can't have personal feelings, let alone feel sorry for myself. Take Dash, for example. He used to be my boyfriend, but I have to be absolutely fair and calm. I no longer have the past in my mind, no longer feel inferior, and no longer have any psychological burden! Thank you. Mister Ford. Thank you, Sabrina. From this moment on, I am simply me. I won’t have any psychological burden anymore. I will face my partner with ease. I certainly can respond to all changes calmly. I certainly can do it!"
Sabrina smiled when she saw that Eevonne had suddenly understood something. She raised her hand to hold Sebastian's arm and smiled. "Sebastian, the older you got, the more kind and patient you got. How can you talk endlessly like an old father? However, it was especially effective. You can even be a therapist."
Sebastian felt emotional. "Sabrina, Aino is going to high school soon. Who could guarantee that their child’s life can be smooth-sailing? As her parents, it doesn't matter whether she can become successful or be outstanding. I first have to teach her to love and protect herself. As long as she doesn't harm others, she certainly can't carry any burden in her mind. As long as our child can be happy her whole life and not be defeated by any external factors, I will be very satisfied. When I see this girl, I am reminded of our Aino."
Sabrina leaned her head against her husband's shoulder. "I understand your intention, dear."
"Eevonne is still here!" Sebastian said softly.
Eevonne immediately had a realization. " Mister Ford, Sabrina, and Miss Aino, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving now. Goodbye! When I get my paycheck next month, I'll treat your entire family to a meal!"
Upon saying that, the young lady ran off happily. At that moment, she was filled with confidence. As soon as the confident young lady boarded the bus, she received a call. She answered the call and asked incredibly cheerfully, "Hello, may I know who this is?"
