Meeting You Was Fate

"What about the time after next?"

"Both of us!"

Mandy tried her best to coax her arrogant husband.

At the Ye Group

It was mid-autumn. In mid-September, the weather was still a little sultry, but less hot than the scorching summer the year had seen. Bonnie wore a simple, pink dress with a nipped waist and a pair of high-heeled shoes, which set off her tall figure and made her look much taller than usual.

Simon was in a meeting, so Bonnie waited for him in his office.

Ever since Simon had taken over the business at the Ye Group, and Bonnie had started coming to the office, she'd been particularly annoyed with the smell of tea in his office. Simon was a thoughtful man both in life and at work, as he had been since his student days. Bonnie knew he was a neat freak and recalled their time in high school. She remembered how he would mop off the table and chair every day at school.

Rays of warm sunshine came in the office through the Venetian blinds. The air was warm, but it mingled well with the light breeze. Simon had turned the air conditioner off and opened a window before leaving for the meeting.

Simon couldn't tolerate heat at all, so he always needed the air conditioner, even in late autumn. But he had changed his habits after marrying Nacy.

Bonnie lay down on the couch with a satisfied, cozy smile, and even her heart seemed to be singing and waltzing. She took her phone out and played a happy song with a ukulele intro. She was in the best of spirits.

She felt like what she had waiting and hoping for had finally happened.
