Brandon smiled. "In the beginning, I hated them to the bone. Later, I got busy with school, working part-time, struggling to make ends meet, and didn't even have time to recall this experience. Gradually, I just forgot about it. Then, when I occasionally thought about it, I realized that getting angry or even thinking about revenge for those people and things was just a waste of my time."
"You're right." Lindsay nodded appreciatively. "You're talented, ambitious, and in the prime of your life. If you don't focus your time and energy on your career, but instead keep thinking about getting revenge on people who don't matter, you're killing your dreams."
Brandon raised his glass. "That's right. I've long thought it through. Career is a man's best lover."
Lindsay smiled again and lowered her head to eat her pasta.
Brandon just watched her eat.
Ten minutes later, Lindsay put down her knife and fork, finished the wine in her glass, and picked up a napkin to gently wipe the corners of her mouth. Only then did she look up at him and say seriously, "I meant it sincerely when I said I'm your girlfriend earlier."
Brandon was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Lindsay placed her hand on the back of his hand and got straight to the point. "I've liked and admired you for a long time. Otherwise, why would I have stayed by your side for the past four years and even started a business with you after graduation?"
She then chuckled. "Everyone can tell that I like you. I thought you have long sensed it."
Brandon was genuinely surprised. He said helplessly, "I'm sorry. I know you've been very kind to me. You've never left me. We've gone through thick and thin together. If it weren't for you these past few years in Aeloria, I don't know if I could have made it to the end. But I've always seen you as my best friend. I've never considered the possibility of a romantic relationship—"
Lindsay interrupted him. "Is there a woman you're interested in right now?"
Brandon shook his head. "Nope."
"Then please consider me carefully," Lindsay said. "We've known each other for so long. You know what kind of person I am. I'll never joke about feelings. So, please take your time to think about it from now on. Give me a reply when you've thought it through."
Facing her calm and serious gaze, Brandon could not bring himself to say the words "thank you" or "sorry" on the spot.
It seemed like he didn't want to say that either...
"I'm full. It's time to go back and work overtime." While Brandon was in a daze, Lindsay gracefully retracted her hand, paid the bill, and stood up. "If you need a girlfriend for social events or business gatherings, feel free to reach out. Don't worry. As long as you clearly reject me, I won't misunderstand, won't cling to you, and certainly won't hold any grudges."
Then, she stood up and walked away confidently and gracefully.
Looking at her back, Brandon was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she said hurriedly, "You've had some drinks. No driving."
With her back facing him, Lindsay waved. "I've been out all day. I'm exhausted. I'll take a nap in the car before heading back to the office."
Brandon watched her back, his cold gaze taking on a hint of tenderness.
He thought, 'What qualities do I have to deserve such an outstanding person like Lindsay to have feelings for me for so long?'
"You're right." Lindsay nodded appreciatively. "You're talented, ambitious, and in the prime of your life. If you don't focus your time and energy on your career, but instead keep thinking about getting revenge on people who don't matter, you're killing your dreams."
