The timeline was very tight. Every one in the planning team was working overtime for the project. It took two days to complete something worth presenting. After that, someone suggested to go to a bar and celebrate it, but Autumn turned it down.
"We can celebrate it wherever you want but only after our presentation is carried out smoothly. Today...... I suggest we go home and have a rest since we have been working on it for a long time and didn't get a chance to have a breather. Tomorrow, let's regroup to discuss the plan with fresh eyes and see if there's anything that needs modification." As Autumn said that, all of them became disappointed, which amused her.
When Autumn got on the elevator she asked Isla, "Isla, how are you going home tonight?" Isla smiled, "Someone is coming to pick me up."
"Who is he?" Autumn smiled curiously and tried to guess, "Is it Aron?"
"Autumn." As Isla heard his name, she couldn't help frowning. "I don't want to talk about that jerk. Please don't even say his name or it will worsen my already stressful day."
Autumn went black as she didn't expect Isla to be so sensitive to this name. Indeterminately, Autumn said, "Isla, do you have some spare time? I want to talk to you."
Autumn wanted to talk to Isla about Aron. If she happened to be free, now would be appropriate.
"If you want to talk about Aron, then I'm always busy." Isla grinned and said to Autumn, "I really have no time today. I had a blind date the other day. The guy I met is good in every aspect. So I want to see him again and see if I can get along with him. He is going to pick me up to watch a movie."
"You...... have already been with him?" Autumn asked Isla.
Isla nodded slightly, but then shook her head. She said to Autumn, "Not yet, but I'll try to get along with him. We both felt great the last time."
"It can't be......" Autumn wanted to say something more, but the door of the elevator opened. They walked out of the door, and there waiting outside was a plain looking man. The man seemed quite honest and reliable. He greeted Isla as soon as he saw her. The man said to Isla, "You look exhausted. How about dinner first?"
He naturally took isla's bag. "It's up to you, didn't you say we're going to the theater?" Isla replied.
"The movie is at 8 p.m. We have time for a quick bite." The man gave a smile.
All this time Autumn was watching them. Seeing Isla and the guy together and talking, Autumn didn't think they were a good match. They actually looked weird together despite the guy looking decent..
"Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce you two." Isla stood next to Autumn with a gleaming smile and said, "This is Autumn, my boss and my good friend."
"Hello." The man was quite shy. Isla then introduced the man to Autumn, "This is Stephen, my friend."
"Hello, Stephen." Autumn was poised. She draw Isla aside and muttered, "Do you really want to live your whole life with this man?"
