Chapter 40: Choosing to trust
Chapter 40: Choosing to trust
Or should I say don't be afraid to bother him.
Although Holden's words were quite reasonable, Vivian was not the kind of character who could just
trust someone, even if he said he was a friend, there were many kinds.
Without giving Vivian a chance to refuse, Holden spoke again and said: "I know people at AR, maybe
the person you are meeting with is someone I know? When the time comes, I can also help, even if
not, I can also give you courage ah!"
Jokingly, Holden knew that the atmosphere between the two was once very awkward. If the
atmosphere is not properly regulated, the two may only look at each other and laugh awkwardly.
Vivian originally intended to refuse, but hearing him say that he might know the person with whom AR
was talking about cooperation, her heart wavered.
Although it was said that they were just friends who had just met recently and shouldn't take advantage
of their friends, this collaboration was really important for the company now.
Seeing Vivian wavering, Holden said directly, "I know it may not be easy to ask you to trust me, but I
hope you can try a little to really treat me as a friend."
Holden's repeated words left Vivian at a loss for what to say.
Vivian looked at Holden with a touched face and said explanatively: "I ...... am not unwilling to trust you,
it's just that this would be too much trouble for you? I don't really like to bother people, so ......"
Holden heart is very happy, although Vivian's attitude towards him now is still not cold and not warm.
But at least she was willing to say what was on her mind, jokingly saying, "Aren't friends just trouble
each other?"
Vivian, who was originally torn, also laughed out loud at this moment, "Haha ...... saying so, it's not
wrong. Then I'll trouble you, friend!"
Sometimes it's good to have one more friend, so Vivian isn't averse to making new friends. It's just that
there's nothing else but friends.
"As you wish, my friend!" Holden laughed heartily.
Originally he was just someone who stood behind her and watched her silently, now he could finally
break into her world. Although still only hovering on the edge, but at least he took the first step.
He doesn't want anything in return, he just wants to get a little closer to her, so he'll be satisfied.
Since the incident with Hanley, Vivian had no other friends besides Amy.
But deep down she still wants to have friends!
......
The next day, Holden came to the hospital room early.
He originally intended to accompany the bed last night, but he was also aware that his relationship with
Vivian had only slightly improved, and the two were still distant.
"Why are you here so early?"
Vivian was already fully dressed, and when Holden came over, she was reading the information that Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Leo passed over.
Holden smiled and said, "You're all dressed up. If I don't come over, can I justify it?"
While saying that, Holden put the breakfast on the table.
Then she carefully helped Vivian take out the breakfast, "Don't look, eat something first! There's still so
much time left, don't be so nervous."
Vivian had almost finished reading too, so she put down the notebook in her hand.
She took a look at the breakfast, she said with some disgust, "Why is it so bland again?"
When she was hospitalized before, she ate very lightly every day, and before she could eat something
tasty, she was in the hospital again.
So Vivian's heart had already begun to loathe this kind of light meal.
Anyone who eats so many days of bland food will also hate it.
Holden saw Vivian's disgusted look and laughed out loud, "Hahaha, such obvious dislike, it seems you
really hate it, but it can't be helped, who let you go into the hospital again? Bear with me, I'll take you to
eat the specialties of City A in a few days, and you'll be in a better mood!"
Vivian just wanted to complain, she also knew that her body was not suitable for eating greasy things
now.
She resignedly accepted the breakfast handed over by Holden, and then touched her stomach with her
other hand.
"Alas, even if I don't want to put up with it, I can't! I'm not a god, I'll starve to death if I don't eat!"
Vivian didn't know why she was suddenly cheerful in front of Holden, and probably had silently
accepted him as her friend in her heart.
"Hahahaha ...... aggravate a few more, when you get better, want to eat anything sour and spicy, I can
find you the absolute best!"
Holden did not expect Vivian would say such things to him, a burst of joy in his heart.
It seems that the distance between them has been shortened a little bit.
Vivian said with some surprise: "Eh? So, you know a lot about the food in A City?"
Holden nodded and shook his head.
Vivian asked in confusion while eating the thin rice, "Eh? What does that mean?"
"It's not really a good understanding, but I've spent some time in City A before, so I know more or less
about it."
Holden did not tell the truth, in fact he would know so well, because the girl he always liked the most
thing is to eat. That's why he was so serious about learning about the food in A City, just hoping that
one day he could take her to eat all kinds of food.
Vivian did not doubt Holden's words, but instead spoke more happily about her interests.
"Actually, my favorite thing before was eating, I think whether it's dessert or white rice, it can make
people feel happy."
Long before she met Hanley, Vivian was a simple foodie. Going abroad for two years, she also relied
on food to survive those helpless times.
Holden laughed and then said in a voice only he could hear himself, "I know ......"
"Huh?" Vivian could not hear what Holden said, so he stopped eating and looked up at him in
confusion.
Holden shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing, just did not expect that you are this kind of
character!"
Hearing Holden's words, Vivian instantly froze. How long had it been since she had been so
spontaneous?
It seemed like her smile had slowly disappeared since she knew about Paige and Selena.
She had changed so much because of Qin's family, and although she was now able to protect herself
from him, she liked the happy Vivian better.
Although silly, but every smile is from the heart, not just the surface.
"Vivian?" Seeing Vivian frozen, Holden patted her shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? So
serious!"
After coming back to her senses, Vivian looked at Holden and smiled. She might be able to slowly find
the old, genuinely happy her back from him.
