Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1009

"It will surely fit Mrs. Molly Long well,"

a low and deep voice came through from the door all of a sudden, startling Ximena. Quickly, she raised her head to look at the direction of the voice and she saw Aaron, leaning on the doorway, like a cool teenager. With a pained expression due to her being badly surprised, she asked Aaron in an exasperated voice, "When did you come?"

"When you were thinking about which color to use to fill the sketch," Aaron answered, sitting on a chair. "Blue suits Mrs. Molly Long very well."

"How did you know that this is for Molly?" Ximena said, surprised.

Shrugging, Aaron said, "Mr. Brian Long called me. He told me that he and Molly will hold their wedding ceremony in Dragon Island next week. He said he hopes that I can go there together with you."

"Then?" Ximena asked.

"I'm afraid that I will disappoint both him and you..." Aaron answered with a tinge of helplessness. "I have to fly abroad on the very day of their wedding." Seeing the expression of disappointment that flashed across Ximena's eyes, Aaron stood up from the chair and walked towards Ximena. When he reached her, he raised his hand to stroke her cheek softly. "I'm sorry that I can't go there with you," he apologized.

Although she had already known that he was unlikely to attend Molly and Brian's wedding ceremony, she had hoped he would manage to accompany her. Therefore, she inevitably felt a bit disappointed to hear his answer. Taking a deep breath, she said, "You know what, don't mind it. I know you also don't want to go abroad that day."

Smiling at Aaron, she said, "Well then, let's go to have dinner." Aaron nodded and pulled Ximena to stand up. They walked out of her office together.

Meanwhile, the enticing smell of the food being prepared was drifting from the big conference room. Freya was good at cooking. For the employees, the happiest part of working overtime at "Only Memory" was eating the delicious food cooked by her.

In order to prevent the employees from feeling shy and self-conscious at the presence of Aaron, he and Ximena didn't eat together with them. Instead, the two of them had dinner in the tea room. Freya stayed with the staff.

When the food was served, Aaron carefully picked up a crab, shelled it, and took the crab roe out for Ximena. "I have to go back to the company after this," he said, wiping his hands with a piece of napkin. "Something came up in the tube-shaped buildings. I have to go there and have a look." Reporting to Ximena what he had done and what he was going to do every day quickly became a habit of his.

"Hum?" Ximena frowned in confusion. Despite the years that had passed, she had not, even for a single moment, forgotten the time she had been in the tube-shaped building.
