The conversations of Vivi's co-workers were clearly heard by Harold and Lilia.
They looked at each other and sighed with a smile.
After the opening ceremony, Vivi and Ludwig invited several partners to eat in the office area.
By the time everyone left, it was almost eleven in the afternoon.
Vivi rubbed the corners of her stiff mouth before she grabbed Ludwig and said emotionally, "It's finally over. I didn't expect our small opening ceremony to be this busy. Fortunately, the company is not big, otherwise it will definitely make me exhausted."
It seems that all the preparatory work is not as difficult as dealing with people.
Their workplace was like a battlefield, so for every word and deed represented their company, Vivi didn't dare to take it lightly..
Standing near the front desk, Ludwig squeezed her shoulders with gentle eyes. "This is indeed very difficult, you should go home first to rest. Don't be too tired on the first day, I don't want you to be upset."
Vivi lazily leaned on his shoulder. "You're exaggerating. Anyway, after this is over, let's go with Lilia and eat together at noon, and there's another friend I'd like to introduce to you."
Ludwig looked the same as usual, rubbing the woman's cheek. "Okay, just tell them. I'll turn off the lights and stuff, the electricity bill for this property is pretty high."
"Okay!"
Vivi took her coat and went across. When she walked to the door of Lilia Studio, she looked back at Ludwig's figure turning off the light with a calm smile on the corner of her mouth.
Her intuition was right, a man like Ludwig was indeed destined for her.
He's straight, considerate, and diligent, and being with him won't be boring even if he's pretty innocent.
Vivi covered her mouth and pouted, she then turned to walk towards the studio opposite. When she raised her eyes, she saw Lilia and Rachel standing staring at her with their arms around their chests.
The expressions of the two friends were very narrow, which made Vivi surprised, and a little embarrassed.
"Why are you looking at me like that!" Vivi stepped forward and asked without holding back.
Lilia glanced back, and saw that Ludwig hadn't come out yet, she joked. "If I didn't see it with my own eyes now, I really didn't know that you guys would have such affection!"
Rachel followed. "Vivi, in ??my impression, you are always so heartless. I didn't expect that having your own boyfriend made you become like a little girl who fell in love for the first time!"
Vivi pretended to be angry, and said, "You two, don't talk nonsense! Isn't it Lilia who usually shows off more with her husband!"
As the words fell, the three girls laughed together.
...
Ten minutes later, Lilia and a few other people left the building.
Harold didn't follow, he said that something had happened at the company, and Tom disappeared at the opening ceremony.
To thank Lilia and Rachel for attending the opening ceremony, Vivi specially chose an upscale Italian restaurant.
The restaurant is not far from the company's location, about a ten minutes drive.
The vibe of this Italian restaurant is very nice, with simple and melodious piano music flowing in the air.
Its beautiful décor is a sign that the restaurant has an upscale taste.
In the private room, Vivi pulled Rachel and Lilia to their seats. She looked around and said pretentiously, "How about here, good isn't it?"
Rachel also observed the situation, then nodded in agreement. "Nice place and delicious food!"
Vivi was surprised. "Have you been here before?"
The bills for each person can reach 1-2 million here, so she will not dare to be too extravagant.
Rachel knew she had been digging her own grave for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, she answered honestly, "I've been here before, my boyfriend brought me."
Hearing that voice, Lilia instantly thought of someone whom she called Alan.
Vivi did not understand the story in it, then repeated her words. "You mean Alan? Why did he take you to a fancy place?"
At this moment, Ludwig happened to open the door of the room, and their discussion immediately stopped.
Upon seeing this, Vivi turned her head and smirked. "Ludwig, can you go and order some food for us? Don't be too greasy, just a light one!"
Ludwig keenly noticed the strange atmosphere in the room, but he didn't refuse and laughed. He nodded in agreement, took off his coat and left the room again.
At this moment, there was excessive silence in the room where only three sidekicks remained.
Vivi touched the cup in her hand, looking at Rachel seductively. "Rachel, the two of you… what happened?"
Rachel didn't hide it, and said earnestly, "Me and Alan have been dating!"
"Ah?"
Vivi could not believe it. She recalled several times she was in touch with Alan. Why would a man like him be with Rachel? She felt a sense of foreboding.
However, this shouldn't vex her!
Vivi bit the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but stare at Lilia. "Lilia, you... you know about it?"
She saw that Lilia didn't look surprised, as if she knew it very well.
Lilia sighed softly, facing Vivi's surprised eyes then nodded slightly. "Well, I also just found out about that a moment ago."
Rachel's eyes swept across their cheeks, and after a moment, she looked away. "Do you think I'm not worthy of him?"
Such a question left Lilia and Vivi unable to answer.
Seeing them silent, Rachel pressed the corners of her mouth, looked at the dinner plate in front of her in a daze, and said quietly, "Actually, I knew that fact long ago, but… I really like him, and he's willing to accept me… No matter what people say about our relationship, I still want to try and get through it, he's a really good person after all!"
Lilia didn't blink when she saw such a strong determination coming from her friend.
But Vivi didn't think too much, she hurriedly explained and comforted her. "Hey, I didn't mean anything, this was just... so shocking, so don't think about it too much. Now that you're with him, just make it a good relationship. You don't have to care what other people say."
Rachel smiled again after hearing that voice, she looked at Vivi. "So you are blessing my relationship?"
Vivi subconsciously bit the corner of her mouth. In fact, she really wanted to shake her head.
Rachel looked at them expectantly, this action seemed to really need the support of her friends.
At this moment, Lilia unfolded the napkin on the table, and when it spread across her thighs, she was not in a hurry. "I wish you happiness from your relationship."
"Thank you, Lilia!"
Rachel smiled and rolled her eyes, as if Lilia's words were a strength to her. As if it would really make her and Alan stay together until the end.
Vivi looked at Rachel blankly, moved the corners of her mouth, and stopped talking.
...
In this table, everyone has their own thoughts.
Only Rachel was lost in the dream she had knitted into, and deceived herself and others.
After lunch, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
Lilia and Vivi said goodbye. She had just pulled out her cell phone to text Dina, and Rachel's voice came from behind. "Lilia, wait a minute!"
She turned around. "What is it?"
