"What do you think? When you wake up and find that the one you love is not there, how do you think you will feel? So, Annie, don't make him wait too long for you. In these last few years, he has been through so much, not to mention the KD business. All of his friends have married and have children of their own, while he is still single and so lonely. Maybe you feel like you are having a hard time, but there are two beautiful children with you and what about him? He has no close family members around him except for his friends." After getting to know men like Rain, you would find that they were not as perfect as they might look. They all had their weaknesses which they preferred not to show on the surface for all to see.
"Belinda, do you really think that I am the one he is waiting for?" It was reasonable for Annie to question if Rain was truly waiting for her, especially after the way he had treated her.
"Are you kidding me? Annie, please don't ever let Rain hear those words from you. Otherwise, he would be deeply hurt," Belinda said, looking at her in disbelief. She thought that the misunderstandings between them were cleared up. But now, it seemed there were still some misunderstandings between them.
"I don't know. I just don't feel like he really needs me," Annie said flatly. In her mind, the only reason why Rain would propose to her was only for the sake of the children. Not because he was in love with her.
"Annie, what does your heart say? Don't just look at things on the surface, but feel them with your heart. I heard that you were in love with him for many years. You had even been courting him for years, so you are supposed to know him better than any of us. In regards to the question, if he needs you or not, we can't give you the right answer. You should look into your own heart for the answer," Belinda said sincerely. After hearing how Annie felt, she began to worry about Rain's future.
Annie thought for a moment in silence, thinking about everything that Belinda had just told her. Her children had taken up so much of her time and filled her with so much love, that she didn't feel that she needed Rain so much as before. This also led her to ignore the true feelings that she felt in her heart for him.
Annie was still in deep thought when she left Belinda's office. She didn't even notice Eleanor Xiao, who had come in for an audition and bumped right into her.
"Designer Annie, watch where you are going! What are you thinking about?" Eleanor brushed her clothes down with her hand as if she was wiping dirt away that she got from bumping into Annie.
"Miss Xiao, I'm sorry. I'll bring you the accessories that you will be wearing today," Annie said apologetically, snapping out of her thoughts.
"Fine," Eleanor said as she arrogantly walked into the large indoor studio of YS Group, treating Annie as if she were her maid.
Annie took a deep breath, and she reminded herself that she needed to tolerate Eleanor, for Belinda's sake.
Eleanor was a model and was suppose to work with the designer's requirements. However, she was very bossy and hard to work with. Things were done on her terms and her way, she wasn't very cooperative with Annie at all.
