Married at First Sight

Chapter 3663

“It’s almost New Year’s, and the elders kept calling us to come home, so we finally did,” Rosie explained. Then she added, “Elora, you just got back from a business trip and didn’t even rest before going back to work? You’re working too hard. You have plenty of sisters who can help you— don’t try to do everything yourself. You’re going to wear yourself out.” Rosie felt sorry for her best friend. Ever since Elora took over her family’s business, they hardly saw each other because Elora was always busy. They mostly stayed in touch through their phones to maintain their friendship. Luckily, they had been friends since elementary school, with a bond that had lasted over ten years. Even with Elora’s busy schedule, their friendship remained strong. The Ormond, Fowler, and Rosie’s in-law families all had business connections, so they worked together often. As the head of the Ormond family, Elora was someone both Rosie’s family and her in-laws wanted to maintain good relations with, ensuring their friendship never faltered. However, Rosie genuinely cared for Elora. She worried about her because Elora had so few friends, and without her, Elora might have no one to talk to except her sisters. Rosie also admired Elora’s ability to manage the vast Ormond business, making it more successful than when her grandfather was alive. Under her leadership, the Ormond family remained a top player in Annenburg’s business world. Rosie couldn’t help but compare herself to Elora. They had received the same education, yet Elora was managing a huge business while Rosie spent her time doting on her husband, going on trips, and shopping. Her husband never even thought she spent enough! Rosie had begun thinking about using her allowance to invest in small businesses and learn how to make money instead of just spending it. “They’re busy with their own things. Thanks for the souvenirs you brought me, though,” Elora replied with a smile. “Once things settle down and the company is on break, I’ll take you out to dinner.” “By the time you’re on break, it’ll probably be New Year’s Eve!” Rosie laughed. “But sure, let’s get together when you’re free. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the high school reunion. Are you going? It’s on New Year’s Eve, so everyone should be off work by then.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You never come to the reunions, and people always ask me about you—especially our class monitor from sophomore and junior year. He’s still single. I think he’s still holding on to his feelings for you.” Elora had never been in a relationship, but that didn’t mean no one had feelings for her. Since junior high, countless boys had admired her, from her own class, other classes, and even older students, but none of them could break through her calm and reserved exterior. The class monitor, however, had always had deep feelings for her. Even though they went to different universities after high school, he still couldn’t move on. It had been almost ten years. “Elora, you’re always busy with work and social events, but you never make time for love. You’re almost 27, and you’ve never been in a relationship. I’m worried about you. Why not come to the reunion and give our class monitor a chance? We’re all old friends, and he’s doing well. He started his own business and now runs two companies and three factories with a workforce of three to four thousand people. He’s a successful young man.”
