Chapter 39: Friends
Chapter 39: Friends
Vivian didn't know how to answer, and could only smile awkwardly.
She had already rejected Holden's feelings early on and believed he had long forgotten about her. It's
just that with this sudden chance encounter, Vivian didn't know where to put him.
Knowing Vivian's mind, Holden is also more proactive and tries not to make her feel awkward.
Holden chatted with Vivian while bringing up the congee, "The doctor said you just recovered from a Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
serious illness, you should eat something light, so I bought some congee outside, you can just eat
some first."
If this porridge is still specially cooked by Holden, the burden in Vivian's heart is even heavier. But if this
was just something he bought at a small store in the neighborhood, she wouldn't feel too weird in her
heart.
"I'm so sorry for bothering you to bring me to the hospital and bothering you to buy my food."
Vivian smiled shyly, she didn't know how to repay Holden, they obviously just had a comical blind date
and he could treat her like that.
"Aren't we friends?" Holden smiled gently, "It's right for friends to help each other out, especially when
it's out in the open."
Vivian did not answer, just smiled and nodded.
She was embarrassed to say that after that separation, she didn't even think they would have the
chance to meet again.
Holden once again brought the congee to Vivian, he said gently, "It's better to eat it while it's hot, it's not
good for your stomach if it gets cold."
Vivian nodded and took the bowl from Holden and slowly ate it one bite at a time.
"You are also coming over on a business trip, will accompanying me in the hospital delay you? I can do
it alone, you don't have to worry, there is nothing serious wrong now, I can do it alone.
Vivian is really embarrassed to bother others so much, but she also knows that people are well-
intentioned, and it is not good to say anything.
Holden did not answer directly, but checked Vivian's suspension before saying, "Things have been
handled almost, and although you did not return my message before, but what I said is true."
Holden looked at Vivian with a serious face, he continued, "Although now in the hospital room, it is a bit
inappropriate to say that, but I want to tell you that I am serious about what I said. I didn't go to you
because there was something going on in the company before, but now that things have been taken
care of, I hope I can let you slowly get to know me and slowly believe what I'm saying."
Vivian awkwardly stopped drinking the porridge, she did not know how to politely refuse better. Holden
is good people, she did not want to delay others.
The reason is that she knows that Hanley is a thorn in her heart, and even if she pulls it out, there will
be traces of it. Holden deserves better, and she doesn't want to hold up someone else's life.
Vivian thought for a while, she finally thought of how to speak, Holden but interrupted her.
"Vivian, I can call you that, right?"
Vivian nodded, "Naturally!"
Seeing Vivian answer so quickly, the corner of Holden's mouth involuntarily rose, he missed the
opportunity before, now he will firmly grasp this opportunity.
"So can we start off as friends? Sorry, I know something about you before, I know you may not be so
quick to trust someone and trust a relationship again, but I'm willing to prove with time that I'm not just
saying that. Now you don't need to answer me anything or say anything, you can treat me as a friend
first, is that okay?"
Looking at Holden's gentle smile, Vivian couldn't say anything to refuse, besides, there was nothing to
lose for her to have one more friend. As for the feelings, I believe when they get acquainted, he will
definitely change his current mind.
"We are already friends, aren't we?" Vivian smiled lightly, "Since we are friends, I wonder if I can
trouble you with one thing?"
Holden did not answer, but looked directly at Vivian.
"Can you help me with the discharge procedure tomorrow morning?" Worried that Holden would refuse
outright, before he could swallow his saliva, Vivian hurriedly continued, "You saw me talking about
cooperation with the people from AR before, and we agreed to meet again tomorrow morning. This
cooperation is particularly important to our company, and I don't want to be sick and not be able to
negotiate this cooperation."
Since returning home, Vivian felt as if she hadn't done anything at all. Her brother's company was at a
time when it needed help the most, but there was nothing she could do.
So this time, no matter what, she would definitely take this contract.
"It's natural to help you with the discharge procedure." There was a pause before Holden voiced his
concern, "It's just that if you work right after you wake up, I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle
it. Even if the cooperation is important, if you can't support yourself during the meeting with AR, won't it
be a futile effort?"
This was also Vivian's worry, she didn't know if her body could hold up, but she wouldn't be willing to
give up if she gave up before she even tried.
"Even if it's futile, even if this collaboration can't be taken down, I still want to try. It's not that I don't care
about my body, but this collaboration is important. To be honest with you, I will go on a blind date
before also because of the company, and I want to help my brother, so I won't give up easily."
She looked at Holden seriously, this collaboration, Vivian saw it as very important, even if she went into
the hospital again, she still had to try to get it.
If this collaboration was not taken again, it would definitely be more difficult for her brother. So that she
will definitely do her best to negotiate this business.
"If you have to go, I won't stop you, but I am definitely going to accompany you." After saying that,
Holden explained, "I will recuse myself while you talk about things, but I have to keep an eye on you
and can't let you really disregard your own body."
"This ......"
Vivian looked at Holden with some hesitation, she wasn't worried about him snooping around for trade
secrets, she just thought they were only meeting for the second time and shouldn't bother him so
much.
"Vivian you said we are friends, since we are friends to help each other is supposed to?"
Knowing what Vivian is worried about, Holden will not force her to agree, but he will also use his way to
make her agree.
"Who knows if I will have more difficult things to trouble you in the future, when the time comes I will
certainly not refuse your help, so now you also do not refuse my help, okay?"
Holden knew that with this little bit of time together, it was absolutely impossible for Vivian to rely on
him completely.
But he still hopes that the relationship between the two can not be so awkward, he does not expect too
much change, just hope Vivian can be a little less defensive of him.
