It was only when Naomi stood in front of the man that she realized she looked strange.
How could she idiotically come over and stare at him because of his expression? Just as she was thinking if she should flee the scene, the man spoke.
"Are you Miss George?"
Naomi was stunned and stammered, "You are..."
"I'm your client from Inchee Company. My name is Nelson Luther!"
Naomi was momentarily stunned, her heart feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and disappointment. Yet, it seemed to be reasonable. After all, the news of that person's death had been known more than a decade ago.
He was no longer in this world. Even if she had met someone similar to him, it could never be him.
"Miss George?" Nelson's voice rang again, dragging her out of her daze.
"Oh yes. Hello, Mr. Luther!"
"Hello!" Nelson shook her hand gently. His touch was adequate and polite. With that, Naomi's first impression of him was that he was a nice gentleman.
After they exchanged greetings, Naomi handed the proposal in her hands to him.
"This is the project that I've planned. Please take a look at this project..."
"Don't move!" Nelson suddenly growled. As soon as Naomi looked up, she saw him approaching her slowly.
Nelson's eyes were very beautiful, a part where he resembled Vincent Granger the most. The only difference was that back then, Vincent was rather reserved and introverted.
He was definitely not as confident as Nelson was.
Even so, her heart beat uncontrollably.
When she noticed Nelson approaching her, she suddenly didn't know what to do.
"You..."
The next second, Nelson reached out and picked a bug from her hair.
"It seems that you're so attractive that even bugs want to feel closer to you!"
It was clearly a corny pick-up line, but the way he said it made it seem sincere and truthful. It no longer sounded greasy and inappropriate.
Naomi paused for a moment before she replied
politely, "Thank you."
After a brief introduction of the project, Naomi noticed that it was almost time for her to leave. Hence, she got up and was about to bid Nelson goodbye.
Just then, Nelson suddenly offered, "Miss George, I think there are still some revisions needed to be done on the project. Why don't we go to my company to talk about it?"
Naomi was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the clock on the wall subconsciously.
Last night, Eddison had invited her to watch a match.
Unaware to her, Nelson smirked and prompted, "Do you have something else to do, Miss George? It's such a pity."
"No, I don't!"
Naomi shook her head. A while ago, Nelson's slightly disappointed look reminded her of Vincent for some unknown reason.
Back when she was young, she used to think Vincent was the one who harmed her mother. After years passed and she grew more mature, she slowly realized many other things that she missed out back when she was young.
Vincent did nothing wrong. He was just a pitiful child who had been used by others.
On the contrary, after thinking about it when she was older, she recalled that Vincent had silently helped her a lot.
She was a person who valued relationships a lot, so she never did manage to forget him despite such a long time. She would constantly be reminded of how different things would be now if only she was more sensible back then.
Vincent would be still alive then!
However, there was no such thing as what ifs in this world. Eventually, Vincent's life ended when he was 10 years old.
