Early the next morning, I took Susan to the apartment where she used to live.
Before entering, she saw two pots of green plants placed at the door. After the students moved out, I hired a housekeeper to take care of the plants as well as those in the yard. I also got her to occasionally clean the apartment. Hence, these plants still looked very lively.
I could see the light in Susan's eyes, and when she opened the door, the sight of the yard made her smile even more. "You took care of it very well and even added a lot to it."
"The former students also liked it."
The furnishings in the living room were still the same as before she left—clean and orderly.
The smile on the corners of Susan's mouth never faded as she looked around the inside. She turned her eyes to me, and her voice was filled with gratitude. "Wanda, thank you, truly."
"Didn't I say that you shouldn't thank me if you treat me as a friend?" I raised my brow. "Do you have any ideas about what to do next?"
Susan hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "Maybe open a store, like a private cinema. How about it?"
"Whatever ideas you have, just do it. I believe you can."
I had never doubted Susan's ability and knew she must have a plan. "If possible, I think I can invest in it."
Hearing this, Susan smiled brightly. "Of course, as long as you’re not worried about losing money."
"I don't believe you’ll make me lose too much."
We looked at each other and laughed.
After staying in Susan's apartment and discussing with her the movie theater, I left, but I ran into Tyler at the door.
I could tell that he had been lingering at the door for a while, hesitating whether or not to come in.
I walked toward him. Tyler also saw me and was stunned for a moment before he gradually smiled. "Wandy, you're here too."
