“Actually, Sandra, you’re an incredibly talented person. All you need is a little more confidence.” Sophie felt that Sandra seriously lacked faith in herself.
Simon nodded in agreement.
“You’re already amazing, Sandra. Look at me. I used to be rotten to the core in the past! But am I not quite confident now?”
She certainly doesn’t have to be so diffident when even I, who lazed around and did nothing, could have such confidence!
Then, he offered, “How about this? After you graduate, you can work at my father’s hospital.”
She merely wants to be a doctor, yes? Considering her capabilities now, she has her choice of hospitals.
“Thank you, guys. If it weren’t for the two of you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Admittedly, Sophie and Simon have both helped me tremendously.
“You’re truly incredible, and you’ve also helped us a lot, Sandra. So, continue forging ahead!” Simon encouraged, beaming from ear to ear.
I can’t imagine what would’ve become of me if I hadn’t met her and Sophie during my freshman year.
Sophie had no classes in the afternoon, so she wanted to go to the medical association. Coincidentally. Sandra and Simon were also free, so they all went together.
It was not until they had arrived at the medical association that they discovered Arius and Georgina had returned.
It was uncertain what happened in Georgina’s hometown, but the duo did not appear to be dating.
Arius came over to seek Sophie out.
“You pursued her to her hometown, yet you came back without making any progress?” Disappointment flooded Sophie.
Good Lord! He’s downright inefficient! He isn’t like this when he performs operations usually. Why this abrupt change when it comes to wooing a woman?
“If not? Did you think something would’ve happened?”
Georgina was having loads of fun going on blind dates! She never needed me there to lend her a hand!
In response, Sophie shook her head.
Honestly, Arius, I think you might end up spending the rest of your life alone.” Would any woman like him if such is his attitude?
“I think so, too!” he agreed. As soon as he learned that Georgina would be going on blind dates, he hurriedly went after her. Alas, he seemed to have made things worse.
Fortunately, she still came back with him in the end.
But she didn’t seem keen on communicating with him. In fact, she didn’t even say a word to him during the drive back.
“Why are women so complicated, Sophie?” lamented Arius.
“Are they? It’s only because you’re not putting in enough effort.”
He either likes her or he doesn’t. There’s nothing complicated about it.
Having said that, Sophie no longer bothered with the dense man.
When she had finished the work at hand, she sought Georgina out.
The latter seemed calm and unruffled, giving no indication that something unpleasant had transpired.
“I hope Arius‘ pursuit of you to your hometown didn’t make any trouble for you?”
Georgina gave a slight shake of her head.
“Sophie. I really like him a lot, but not to the point that I’m willing to cast my dignity aside. Anyway, things are pretty good now. At the very least, my parents won’t force me to go on blind dates anymore. On top of that, I can continue working here.”
Everything is good. Verily, all is well. The question of whether he loves me isn’t so important anymore.
“He’s just inexperienced, Georgina. He has never dated to this day. Give him a bit more time.” Sophie understood the kind of person Arius was and knew he had never wanted to hurt anyone.
