Maisie was in deep thought for a long time.
"Yes, but I could feel his love for me, so I wouldn’t have let it become a regret."
"Hmm."
Naomi looked down and gave a sad smile.
When people who loved each other couldn't be together, it was just because they didn’t love each other enough.
Why would two people who loved each other a lot let it turn into regret? She liked Francisco, but did he feel the same? Since he had given up so easily, maybe he just wasn’t that into her...
The week after that, Naomi and Lucy worked at the store, and she slowly recovered.
Naom sat in her new office and was doing some design work when a colleague appeared outside her door.
"Naomi, a handsome man is asking for you outside."
Naomi’s heart skipped a beat.She stood up and walked out to the corridor.
When she got there and saw the person waiting for her, there was Jackie, disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she recovered quickly.
She felt pathetic for her own naivety as she walked toward him.
"Mr.Clifford, why are you here?" Jackie turned to face her.
"I’m sorry for interrupting."
"You didn’t." Naomi smiled.
"But how did you know that I’m at the store?"
"Your dad told me." Naomi paused.
"My dad told you?" He nodded and looked at her.
"It’s a little embarrassing.My grandfather wants me to get a girlfriend while I’m at Bassburgh, but the girls I know are married or working overseas."
Naomi paused.
"Are you trying to..." Jackie smiled.
"Don’t worry.I don’t insist.It just happens that I know you, so I’d like to ask for your help."
