Charlotte didn't say whether she believed it or not.Then she took thermostat from Sharon's hand and said, "Just give it to me.Go upstairs to have a rest."
After saying that, she went into the kitchen.
Sharon did not sleep well last night, so she was a little sleepy.She went upstairs while yawning.She slept till six p.m.
In the sky was a golden afterglow.
When Sharon went downstairs, she found that Charlotte was not in the room.Then she went to the next door, only to find that Mary wasn't at home either.
Moreover, it was time to prepare meals, but the surrounding rooms were very quiet.
After the sun went down, the street lamps lit up one by one.
The river was sparkling under the light.
Perhaps it was hard to find another old street of such antique beauty and tranquility.
Just as Sharon was distracted, Mary appeared behind her and patted her shoulder, "Sharon, you're awake."
"Mary.’ Sharon came back to the reality.
Mary said, "Let's go."
Sharon was puzzled.
"Where are we going?"
"Oh, you don't know yet."
Mary patted her forehead and said, "It's almost settled that a resort hotel will be built here.Neighbors are going to move out.It's hard to meet in the future, so we'll have a gathering.I asked Charlotte for help this afternoon.Now almost everyone is there, so I come to call you.’ Thus, Sharon was dragged to the ancestral hall by Mary.
This ancestral hall was open to the public.
Normally, neighbors would gather here to celebrate festivals.
However, due to various reasons, there was always someone absent before.
This time, everyone was here probably because it was the last gathering.
Residents along the Bridge Street were basically the elderly like Charlotte and Mary.
They were unwilling to live with their children.
There were also young tenants like Julian and Sharon.
They got along well with each other.
Rather than neighbors, they were more like a big family.
This night, each of them prepared their own specialty.
Dozens of dishes were on the round table as if there was a banquet.
Mary brought Sharon to a seat, "Sharon, sit here."
People on this table were most familiar to Sharon.
Mary and Charlotte were both sitting here, but there was still a seat on the left of Sharon.
The acquisition conference of the Bridge Street lasted an entire afternoon, and it didn't end until nightfall.
After others left, Jameson sat in his seat and pressed his temples.
Jacob stepped forward and said, "Mr.Proctor, do you need painkiller?"
Jameson lowered his hand and said indifferently as he stood up, "Never mind, I'll go out for dinner."
Julian and several leaders of his company were waiting for the elevator.
One of the leaders said, "It's time for dinner.Let's have a meal before leaving."
The leaders agreed.
Julian said with embarrassment, "I'm so sorry.I might have to leave now."
Julian briefly explained with the neighbors’ gathering.
The reconstruction of Bridge Street into a resort hotel was a big project, and it was also very important to Julian's company.
Hearing this, the leader immediately said, "Well, we can't keep Julian here today."
"Julian, give my regards to your neighbors."
"Oh right, Julian, Will Sharon attend this gathering?" Julian nodded.
"Yes."
