Hard To Say Goodbye

Chapter 36 How Dare You

He hasn't seen Nora for several days.

Hal was absent-minded while he was working in the company. Sitting on the sofa, he was not in the

mood to pay attention to the important contracts submitted by his secretary.

Nora refused Hal to pick her up at the company. Confused, Hal has been to Daniel's Agency several

times secretly. Every time Nora got off work, she would wait for the bus alone.

Hal also got the evidence that Nora had no boyfriend.

It turned out that Jasmine had already heard from Grace that Nora was single. At present, she didn't

have a boyfriend, and they were in the same car shop, so it was easy to get in touch with each other.

The two girls were a sales woman and a financial cashier.

The two became good friends. When Grace's boss fired her, Jasmine also persuaded her, but she

didn't listen to her and left the car shop.

Hal couldn't figure out why Nora refused him all the time.

Love could make people lose their way, and Hal was not in the mood to deal with the company's affairs

at all. His secretary urged him several times and arranged a time for him. He needed to meet two

important clients in person.

Hal didn't listen to the secretary, and secretly sent his assistant to the meeting. The secretary thought

that Hal went to meet his clients on time, so he called back the chairman.

Hal escaped and could go to see Nora.

He drove to Daniel's Agency and waited for Nora to get off work.

The security guard of the company recognized Hal and knew that he was here to pick up Nora, so he

didn't stop him.

Waiting was the longest and most torturing thing. He felt that time passed so slowly.

Finally, it was time to get off work. People in the company came down one after another.

Several groups of people has passed, but Hal still couldn't see Nora. He was confused. Before he

came, he had called her and told her that he would pick her up later.

When Nora answered Hal's phone, Murphy was beside her. There were only two people in the office,

Murphy and Nora. Murphy heard the content of the phone clearly.

Perhaps in order to make Murphy give up on her, Nora agreed Hal to pick her up from work. Although

this was not her real thought, it was the only way.

She knew that it was unfair to Hal. She was taking advantage of his love. She had to find a chance to

explain it clearly to him, or the misunderstanding would be deeper.

It was not a good thing for anyone to go on like this.

Murphy deliberately procrastinated, taking the opportunity to cause misunderstanding between Nora

and Hal.

Nora's phone rang. It was a call from Hal. Seeing that Murphy didn't intend to get off work, she knew

that he did it on purpose.

In order to make Murphy give up on her, she had no choice but to do so. Since she has made up her

mind, she stood up and said to him, "It's time to get off work. I'm leaving now."

When Murphy saw Nora go out, he felt heartbroken.

Nora's heartache is hard to express in words.

When it was time to let go, she had to let go. She could cut the mess quickly and maybe it could be

painful for a short time.

Nora went downstairs and got into Hal's car. Seeing this from upstairs, Murphy's self-esteem was

greatly damaged.

Hal didn't know what to do and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Hal drove through the downtown to the suburb. He said that he would take Nora to a very special

place, a farmhouse in the suburb today.

The farmhouse was located in the west of Beijing City, an open space close to the suburbs. It was quiet

without the hustle and bustle of the city.

Hal knew that Nora came from a small town, so she must have a different feeling for this kind of

farmhouse.

Hal has made great efforts for Nora.

It was not too late. Before dinner time, the gate of the courtyard was full of cars of various grades.

It seemed that this courtyard must have something unique, or it wouldn't attract so many people.

The two of them got off the car and walked into the courtyard one after the other.

The waiter led them into a single room. It seemed to be a single room, but in fact, it was a small room.

It was very familiar, as if it was home.

It reminded Nora of her grandmother. The decoration of such a small room was very similar to that of

her grandmother's house.

After a while, five or six dishes were served. Some of them were unknown, but they were really

delicious, beautiful, fragrant and appetizing.

In particular, the fried rice with crab which was served later, was ordinary and almost granny's taste.

A myriad of thoughts crowded into Nora's mind. She thought of her grandmother, her parents, and her

home in the distance.

Now that she was at home and had the taste of home. She was very grateful to the man with small

eyes in front of her, Hal.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while. The waiter came in, "The restaurant had a new service project.

Would you like to have a try?"

Now that they have come here, they should relax and have a good time. Hal looked at Nora and

persuaded her.

Now that she has come, she should feel at ease. The service project turned out that it was massage

and foot massage.

Lying on the massage bed, Nora closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage. The strength of the hands

and the skill were so comfortable that it seemed that her mother was massaging her shoulders. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Putting aside the tedious work, leaving the noise of the city, and forgetting the entanglement of

emotions, she hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.

She hoped that this moment could stop, as if she was in a paradise, without the deception in the

workplace, without emotional choice.

She just wanted to enjoy the peace and comfort.

The masseuse was skilled in massage and pinched her properly. She fell asleep comfortably. She has

been too tired these days, both physically and mentally.

In her dream, she saw her grandmother smiling at her, her father cooking delicious food for her, and

her mother tidying up her clothes. Everything was so real.

The dream would finally wake up. The masseuse woke up her. It turned out that all this was a dream. It

seemed that she really missed home.

At that time, she just wanted to escape from the place where she was sad with little Hugh. It turned out

that in her heart, that place was always her home.

Being dragged back to reality, Nora looked at Hal, who was lying on the massage bed next to her. For a

moment, she felt he was very familiar, just like a big brother next door.

Nora didn't dislike Hal. But in her heart, she didn't have any love for him. She didn't want to share

feeling with him, she treated him as her brother in her heart.

Hal didn't think so. He really liked Nora. From the first time he saw her, the innocence in her eyes

fascinated him deeply.

She couldn't find any chance to explain to Hal.

Every time Nora wanted to say something, Hal would change the topic and immediately stop her.

He was a shrewd man. He was well ahead of Nora.

The more mistakes one made, the more difficult it would be to explain.
