Let's Get Married

“If you’re gone, then who will be taking care of work related matters? Lydia, I hope that you can stay, I will be at a loss if you’re really gone.” Fiona is having a hard time accepting this sudden news.

Lily understands her feelings very well as she replies, “Fiona, you’re an excellent employee in the law industry, so even though I’m not by your side, you will be able to make it on your own. You should have more confidence in yourself, so stop worrying.”

Fiona sucked in a deep breath, “Before you leave, can we meet up for one last time?”

“Of course, I will make sure to delegate all the tasks properly and your responsibility moving forward.”

“Alright, then I’ll wait for you.”

Lily proceeds to give some advices to Fiona, mainly to remind her not to spread the word and just to mention this roughly to her colleagues. After ending the call, Lily stares at the distant sky while images of her past working hard alone surface in her heart.

It’s not easy for a foreigner to cement herself in this industry in London as locals will find it slightly hard to trust a foreigner. But no matter what obstacles were thrown on her way, she persevered hard. She has taken on difficult lawsuits as well as those that didn’t benefit her in the slightest, all for paving a path of her own.

Now, she can finally savour her accomplishments as her firm starts to stable itself. But at the same time, she is going to return to her country.

Everything feels surreal for her right now. She was still buried in her work yesterday in her London law firm but now it seems like everything has changed.

Will she find it hard to give up all of this?

Of course she will get sentimental.

But in the end, she decides to face reality head on. There are more important things ahead waiting for her, and giving up on something definitely takes some courage.

After getting her mood back to normal, Lily decides to head back into the house. But when she turns around, she finds herself crashing into someone.
