Love at First Night (Frank and Judith)

Chapter 29

Frank looked at Aiden, sneering, “Aiden, it’s my freedom to be here. And you know the only person | want to marry is Jodie. I believe she will come back.” Ann felt embarrassed when she heard it. How could he say something so cruel? She had liked him for so many years, but he chose to wait for someone who would never return. A deep sense of sadness flashed in his eyes when Aiden heard the name of Jodie. He thought sadly, “Jodie would have come back if she were alive.” Aiden seldom talked about Jodie because he was unwilling to face the reality. He knew Frank was a stubborn person. Aiden looked at Ann and said in a hoarse voice, “Ann, let’s go home!” He knew Ann must feel very bad since Frank rejected her in public. Ann did not want to stay any longer. She wore a gentle smile and spoke softly at Frank, “Frank, I’m leaving now.” As Ann turned around, she shot Judith an angry look as if Judith had stolen something that belonged to her. Then she left with Aiden. Judith perceived the hatred in Ann’s eyes. She had worked for three years and had dealt with different kinds of people. She knew Ann was not an easy-going person. After Ann and Aiden left, Judith got up and smiled apologetically at everyone. “Thank you for the wonderful dinner, Mr. Taylor! Thank you, everyone! Please let me propose a toast.” Judith picked up her glass and gulped down the wine. “Well said!” Laura laughed happily, raising her glass too. The others also cheered up, forgetting what had happened just now. Frank watched them with a smile. After dinner, they went to a karaoke bar. Judith was not good at singing, so she sat there, listening to others silently. Frank seldom sang either, but tonight he sang a song called “Wait for you forever”. He sang it very well. His voice was full of emotion. There were two moving lyrics, namely, “Baby, I believe you will come back. I will wait for you forever. Judith looked at Frank and couldn’t help but think, “You must love your girlfriend deeply, so you stayed single for so many years.” It was midnight, but everyone was still in high spirits. Laura was a little drunk, her face reddish. Considering that they had to go to work the next day, Laura stood up and exclaimed, “Mr. Taylor, we have a lot of fun tonight. It’s already late. Let’s get together another day!” Frank replied with a faint smile, “I hope everyone can play hard and work hard. I promise to take all of you to travel after our autumn exhibition!” Everyone was

cheered by the good news. The Taylor Group was a good company, which offered the employees high salaries and great benefits.

“Thank you, Mr. Taylor! Well, let’s go home!” Laura called out, waving her hands. Laura was always able to enlighten the mood and make people laugh. The crowds said goodbye and left away in twos and threes. In the dim light, Frank gazed at Judith who was looking down at her phone. Judith was good- looking. Her long black eyelashes were quivering slightly.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
