You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Chapter 486 Habit Is Not Love

After handing in his last piece of work to Damian, Johannes prepared to leave the office. However, Damian called out to him, “Do you have anything on at night?”

Briefly stunned, Johannes replied, “No.” “In that case, let’s have dinner together.” Despite being filled with anxiousness, Johannes maintained his calm facade. “Sure, Mr. Quigley.”

Perhaps, I am overthinking things. Mr. Quigley may just want to talk about some important tasks over dinner. After they left the office, Damian drove while Johannes sat in the front passenger seat. Damian took the initiative to ask, “What would you like to eat?”

“You decide, Mr. Quigley.” “Hmm, seafood?”

“Sure.” “Forget it, steak is better.” Having decided what to eat, Damian brought Johannes to a small boutique restaurant. Damian was a regular there. Hence, he led Johannes into a private room. He even checked with Johannes on what he would like before ordering.

After dinner was served, an awkward silence fell upon both men. As Johannes sipped from his drink, Damian lit up a cigarette. “Johannes, do you have a girlfriend?”

After a brief hesitation, Johannes nodded. “You actually have a girlfriend?”

Damian’s shocked expression caused Johannes to feel embarrassed. What’s wrong with that?

“I’m surprised that you have one. After all, you don’t look like the type to have a girlfriend.” “Mr. Quigley, my girlfriend and I have been together for almost ten years”

Damian was rendered speechless. It had never crossed his mind that Johannes had a girlfriend, let alone one of ten years.

“Johannes, you really are a hidden gem!”

Johannes humbly smiled. “Mr. Quigley, you have flattered me.”

“Have I?”

Feeling unsettled by the idea, Damian’s expression darkened.

Johannes then wondered how the fact that he had a girlfriend could have upset Damian.

Despite being baffled, he didn’t feel anxious about it. After all, having a girlfriend was no big deal. He was confident that as long as he did his job well, Damian wouldn’t find fault with him just because he had one.

“So, why aren’t you married after being together for ten years?”

Briefly stunned, Johannes replied, “She doesn’t want to get married. She says that marriage is meaningless to a woman.”

“What does that mean?”

“She quoted me many examples of the terrible consequences that befall women once they got married such as being widowed, widowed with children, problems with in-laws, men cheating… Furthermore, once a woman gets married and bears children, her physical appearance changes drastically. Therefore, she doesn’t want to get married for the time being.”

Damian couldn’t understand the perspective. “Why? Don’t all women want to get married? Isn’t she worried about you breaking up with her after ten years?”

“I’m the one who’s worried. She is an exceptional woman. Despite knowing that she has a boyfriend, many other guys still insist on pursuing her.
