Chapter 25
Julie was pretty much desperate for a job, so when Elliot popped the question, she automatically asked
back, Really?”
Elliot nodded seriously, “Absolutely. The working hours here are flexible, the salary is decent, and the
tasks are pretty chill. Plus, the boss is a cool guy. This position has been vacant for a while, and I think
you’d enjoy working here*
“Really?” Julie was skeptical “What kind of job is this? Does it pay that well?”
What Julie really wanted to ask was, if the pay was so good, why was the position still empty?
Elliot just smiled mysteriously, then gave a slight smirk, “Mrs. Sanches. This position has been vacant
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor almost thirty years. I think you’d fit perfectly, why don’t you
“No!” Julie didn’t expect that Elliot was just pulling her leg. She gave him a polite smile, “Thanks for the
offer, Mr. Sanches.”
Just then, Elliot caught up with Julie, who was about to leave. He paced himself with her and looked at
her stern face. He chuckled as he said, “I mean, why don’t we give it a whirl? You never know until you
try, right? If it doesn’t work out, we can just reconsider.”
Julie stopped in her tracks and looked at Elliot’s sincere gaze, “Elliot, we are not a good match. Can
you tell me why you are so persistent about this?”
Elliot laughed. There was a hint of self–mockery and helplessness in his laughter. He seemed to be
talking to himself, “I also want to know why I can be so persistent in liking a woman for so many years
who can’t even remember my name. Maybe you can tell me, what’s so good about you? What’s worth
my longing? Or accept my proposal and let me try to dislike you. Maybe after we spend more time
together, I won’t like you so much.”
Julie looked at Elliot with a deadly serious face, “Elliot, I once loved someone deeply for a long time. I
know what it’s like to be obsessed with someone every day. I have tasted it, been hurt, and had my
heart broken. Growing up is about experiencing pain and understanding life. If you think you love
someone to the point where you can say that you can’t live without her, it only shows that you are not
mature enough.”
After saying that, Julie got on the bus without any hesitation.
Once again, Julie left Elliot standing on the street.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis time, he didn’t just let Julie leave. He hailed a taxi to follow her but eventually lost her at a traffic
light.
Julie bought lunch and was on her way to the hospital to eat with Daphne.
Daphne could tell from Julie’s downcast look that she had failed to find a job, so she didn’t mention it.
Edda Flores came in with some washed fruit and immediately saw Julie. She rushed over and lovingly
pulled Julie aside, “Julie, I heard from Daphne that you don’t have a boyfriend, right?”
Julie smiled back, “Yes, but I’m not in a rush.”
“You should be worried about yourself! Marriage is a big deal! Let me tell you, once a woman passes
the ideal age for marriage, she might never find a man again. You can’t be like Daphne, who is
immature. How about I introduce you to a boyfriend?” Edda’s beautiful eyes stared at Julie, looking
exactly like a matchmaker. This left Daphne feeling helpless too.
