Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 22

"Letting you leave is Bella's loss." Hanson sighed.

The light in Essie's eyes dimmed. When she graduated from Donghua University, Hanson had just graduated from the famous Istituto Marangoni and returned to China. Later, he became the deputy CEO of Bella. It was for Hanson that she overcame many tests and entered the design department. She thought that she could be with him day and night...that was, until she met Sunny–her rival. Sunny had set her up and forced her to leave Bella Company. In addition, she took advantage of her father's influence and forced any company she had applied to, to reject her. However, Essie wasn't going to give up just like that. She opened a store on Taobao. She started to tailor clothes for her two friends who were private celebrities, which attracted plenty of people from the upper-class.

"There are so many talented people there." She lowered her head.

"Well, you're different." His deep voice was like the night wind blowing through her hair. She blinked in surprise and raised her gaze to face him.

"It's too noisy here. Would you like to take a walk with me?" He motioned to the outside.

She nodded, still in a daze from his words.

It was not late at night, yet the fragrance of newly brewed tea pervaded the air. It still smelled like summer. She inhaled as a smile curved her lips.

The air was cool. She could feel her hair swaying from the breeze as the leaves rustled in response.

When they reached the flower bed at the middle of the square, he stopped. Essie waited, not really knowing what he wanted to say.
