Talking about this, Jack also seemed a bit pained. "So when I met you again during university, I hated myself for missing so many years of your life and letting you suffer so much." "Jack, this is not your fault."


    When I was going through difficulties, he was still just a child.


    Some paths in life, you would have to walk by yourself.


    No one else could help.


    It was already very good that he could lend me a hand when I needed it the most.


    At that moment, Jane came out with the pizza, smiling. "How was your chat? How about we dig in?"


    Jack responded enthusiastically, "Go ahead, I skipped lunch and am starving."


    With Jane around, the hot pot was filled with joy andughter.


    Gradually, I managed to push the trending topic out of my mind.


    It will pass; everything will pass.

    The next day, the snow still hadn''t stopped. The cold wind was biting, and everything outside was covered in a nket of white.


    Jane stayed overst night. Now, after receiving a phone call, she was nearly bouncing with excitement, Charlotte, how''s your injury? Can you go out today?"


    I drank a cup of water and asked, "What happened?"


    "The contract from RF Group is ready! They said if we sign it now, the funds will be in ce by noon!"


    "So soon?"


    Not just her, I was also a bit excited.


    Normally, for arge multinational like the RF Group, contract procedures and fund approvals would take quite a while.


    It had only been a few days?


    When we arrived at the the RF Group group''s office in Jston,n was already waiting in the reception room with the contract.


    Seeing me, he smiled, "Sorry, the branch office isn''t set up yet, so the environment is a bit makeshift." "Mr. Brown, are you setting up a branch office in Jston?" asked Jane.


    But I couldn''t quite figure it out, so I simply took the contract and looked it over.


    It was filled with reasonable terms.


    Jane checked it as well and found nothing wrong. Before I signed, she nervously asked, "Mr. Brown, is the funding definitely going to be in ce by noon?" "Special circumstances would need special handling,"n replied casually.


    Jane immediately seized on that. "Special circumstances?"


    I was also puzzled and looked atn.


    The efficiency of the RF Group Group was even faster than we had imagined.


    Just after signing the contract and leaving, my phone rang.


    The funds were transferred!


    Jane was both surprised and delighted. She was about to go out for a meal but immediately turned the car around and headed toward the office building where we had paid the deposit.


    At the moment we signed the lease and received the keys, both Jane and I saw anticipation and excitement in each other''s eyes.


    We finally had our ownpany.


    Jane, grinning with joy, said, "Why don''t you call Jack and we can celebrate tonight?"


    "Sure..."


    As I agreed, my phone rang.


    I looked at the screen and couldn''t help but tighten my grip on the phone. When I answered, my body tensed up. "What''s up?"


    On the other end of the line, the man''s voice was cold and detached, as if we had never had any rtionship. "Are you free this afternoon?"N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    I stood by the window, letting the cold wind seep into my lungs, the chill permeating through me. My tone turned cold as well.


    "Depends on what it is."

    "I have plenty of time."
