Arriving at the restaurant.
Nina was still distracted and sullen.
Anna pinched her cheeks, "Alright! Let's fill up our stomachs first."
Anna ordered a table full of dishes, "Let's celebrate today. We're all officially employed at Ackman Skyhigh Group."
Anna raised her glass, and Nina followed suit with a lack of interest.
All she wanted to do now was to go back to the hospital and find Michael.
To tell him that she regretted it.
She really wasn't in the mood to eat now, but seeing Anna's high spirits, she was too embarrassed to spoil the fun.
Anna took a sip of wine and put down her glass," Look! It’s more comfortable to go back to the old place. Familiar environment, familiar boss and familiar campus atmosphere were much better than those moralistic and hypocritical faces in the company."
"Especially the signature dish here. I really can't get enough of it. Nina, this steak is your favorite. Have
some more."
Anna kept trying to enliven the atmosphere, but the smile on Nina's face was still very far-fetched.
After eating two bites, Nina began to stare out of the window. Her forlorn look made Anna's heartache.
"Nina, let's talk after we've eaten enough, shall we?"
Anna poured another glass of wine for Nina.
Nina followed suit and took two sips.
Anna was usually good at drinking, but probably because she had something on her mind today, her cheeks started to flush after two glasses of beer.
"Anna, I really want to go and talk to Michael right now!" Nina stood up anxiously.
Anna tugged her back, thinking for a long time, but did not say anything.
"Nina, can you finish eating with me first?"
Nina had no choice but to sit down again.
Outside the window, the sky was getting dark.
The streets were lit up with streetlights, appearing even dimmer in the evening when the sun was setting.
Anna lifted her glass and took two more sips, not really knowing how to speak.
Nina could also see that Anna had something to say to her.
"Anna, do you have something on your mind?"
Anna opened her mouth for a long time but still didn't say anything.
That kind of thing was really unspeakable.
She was worried that Nina wouldn't be able to accept i t and would be irritated.
"Anna, I'm fine. Don't worry. I know it's all because of my fault for hurting Michael. Such an outcome is something I have to bear."
"I know now that I was wrong and I'm going to make u p for that mistake. So, I'm going to contact Michael as soon as possible and tell him I regret it."
"I'm willing to face his mother with him and to meet all the difficulties we should endure together."
"I won't back down or be afraid anymore! And I have nothing to be ashamed of! As long as I love him and he loves me, we can surely overcome all difficulties."
Nina said, with more of a smile on her face.
She picked up her mobile phone and was about to call Michael.
Anna hurriedly stopped Nina.
"Nina, don't call! Don't say that! Don't make up with him!"
"Why, Anna? Haven't you always supported us? It is you that match-made us."
Nina looked at Anna in surprise and confusion.
Anna slowly closed her eyes and finally made up her mind to tell Nina everything.
