After I agreed, it seemed that Shelton just wanted to say something over the phone, but I heard another cell phone rang over there.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a call." Shelton didn't hang up the phone. I heard him picked up another phone and said, "I'll be there right away."
After that, he said to me over the phone, "Sorry, the hospital picked up an emergency patient. I need to go there for a while."
"Okay, go ahead."
I responded.
Hanging up the phone, I soon heard the sound of Shelton opening the door outside.
I also opened the door. Shelton had already finished dressing and was waiting for the elevator.
When he saw me, he smiled and came over to hug me. "Wait for me to come back, remember the birthday present you promised me."
"Yes." I nodded and hugged him. "I'll wait for you to come back."
Although Shelton said that the birthday gift would be to accompany him one day, I still felt it would be no good if I had nothing to give him.
The next morning, Shelton hadn't come back. I went shopping on my own after taking Glenn to the kindergarten.
I spent a whole morning in the mall, and the shop assistants at every counter had recommended countless gifts to me, but none of them were to my liking.
Shelton was not a businessman, so the ties and cuffs were not suitable for him.
But apart from that, I didn't know what else I should give him.
When I was going to find a place to have lunch, my personal phone rang.
And the name on it was Nancy!
I picked it up right away.
She asked me out for lunch. We chose a western restaurant that was not far from us.
She had been there when I arrived.
This day, Nancy wore a well-cut cape, a half-length skirt and high heels.
Her hair was not as black and straight as it had been five years ago. It was dyed with chestnut color and permed curly.
Nancy looked at me and said, "I really didn't expect that the famous designer, Janetta, turn out to be you."
"How can I be called famous?" I was a little embarrassed. "All my fame is borrowed from my teacher. It's nothing to do with me if my teacher is not him."
In the past few years, Ryan was retired from the field and no longer undertook any work. The design was all done by me, and he just gave a little advice.
However, all my connections and resources were given by him.
I felt I had always been living under his shade.
Nancy smiled and said, "It's your luck to have a good teacher."
"Where have you been for the past few years? Since I came back from the resort, you had resigned. I have been trying to contact you." I asked Nancy.
After that, Nancy and I told each other about what had happened in the past few years.
Nancy studied abroad after resignation and met her husband there. It didn't take long for her to get married and have a child.
Her husband transferred to inland due to work, so she came back with him.
After returning, she had only taken on one job so far.
And this was the design of Chef Tang's.
I remembered Boris promised to give me the information of the designer of Chef Tang's on the day I went there, but he hadn't sent it to me.
However, I met Nancy first.
Nancy told me, in order to develop in City Y, she planned to participate in the design competition at the end of the year, and she also gave me the information.
At the sight of this design competition, I was also very tempted.
The two of us chatted for a while and decided to join together.
Nancy and I seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
By the time we had came to our sense, it was already four o'clock.
She and I both needed to pick up the children, and I hadn't bought a gift for Shelton yet.
Nancy heard that I was going to buy a gift for Shelton, then she suggested, "I think you can take stationery into account. That must be useful for doctors."
Her words reminded me.
