After a busy day, Vivian went out with some employees of the store. She had something on her mind and did not notice that there were a lot of people outside.
Most of them are women.
Komatsu nudged Vivian, who was walking headlong, and jokingly said, "Manager, your boyfriend has come to pick you up."
Vivian couldn't understand why. She lifted her eyes to follow Komatsu's eyes and saw John standing out from the crowd.
John seemed to see Vivian as well. He smiled gently at her and walked over. "Vivi, let's get off work."
"Well, off duty." Vivian still couldn't get over it. Her mind had been on the incident at noon all day. When she saw John, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't contacted him for several days after coming back from farmhouse.
As a girlfriend, she was really incompetent and said with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, John, I was so busy in the store these days and I haven't had time to contact you."
"Never mind, haven't eaten yet, let's go together." John smiled gently and did not care about this small matter. Since Vivi had no time, it was the same for him to take the initiative.
What's more, he must chase after her diligently.
"Well, let’s go." Vivian nodded.
"Manager, you and John act as if no one is present, although I am a small light bulb, I’m still in the light." Komatsu said.
The man on the opposite was too handsome and gentle, which let her feel that she was attacked strongly.
This might be the legend, someone else's boyfriend...
Vivian looked at Komatsu with some embarrassment and said helplessly, "How could I forget you?”
“Why don't you come with us to dinner?"
"No, no, I'll have an uneasy conscience when I'm the third wheel." Komatsu motioned. She was just joking.
"It's okay," John said generously. "We're both going to eat anyway, so there's no harm in having a few more."
At first, the other clerks in the store had already been itching to open their mouths, but they were too embarrassed to open their mouths. Besides, they were not as outgoing as Komatsu. Now when they heard John's words, they all nodded like pecks.
"Well, John, and we will follow you to dinner."
"John is really a perfect man, we really profit from association with the manager Vivian."
"Yes, yes, the store manager has such a good boyfriend, which really lets us envy."
As a result, the meal for two turned into a group of people walking together. Fortunately, Vivian worked in the downtown area, so she only needed to walk to eat instead of taking a taxi.
John gave an address, and the others went on in groups, because they are too embarrassed to stay and disturb the two people, deliberately leaving them a distance, leaving them a private space.
Vivian walked beside him and whispered, "I'm sorry to have cost you, John."
"It's just a meal, it's nothing, and..." John paused, and his mouth slightly lifted to show how happy he was. "I'm glad for what they said."
Vivian understood the meaning of John's words at a moment's thought, and she was flushed. She looked down at her heels and did not know how to answer.
