Chapter 1318
Seeing Eden's confused expression, Paula sneered, "Cyan, do you really not remember or did you deliberately forget him? He liked you for three years in high school. Because he always liked you, he still hasn't married a wife yet."
Eden frowned. How could she not know that there was such a boy who loved her?
Besides, how could a high school student know what love was?
No, absolutely nothing like that would have happened to her.
At that time, they were still children.
"Paula, what are you talking about? Don't you talk nonsense. If there was someone that fond of me, how could I not remember him?"
Paula's sneer was harsh.
"Eden, are you kidding me? Don't tell me that you haven't received any chocolate and love letters from him. Don't tell me that when you were on duty, he didn't help you and that he had been helping you with your posters. Don't tell me you didn't know he deliberately ran with you when you were punished for running around the playground."
Eden looked at Paula with a stunned look. She frowned and thought for a while, but she still had no memory of the boy. It had been too long. How could she have noticed who liked her when she was just trying to make a living?
"Paula, I did receive love letters every day, but those love letters were lying quietly in the trash can. I have never read any love letters.
As for the chocolates, didn't you guys eat them? How do I know who gave them to me? It's you who eat those chocolates. So you should remember it, right?"
Paula didn't know what to say, because those chocolates did get eaten by them.
"Isn't that because you don't want to eat?" Although Paula was trying to defend herself, her face flushed first.
Eden sneered as she recalled the past. "How could I possibly be in the mood for chocolate? You four have been bullying me every day. I wanted to eat it, but you took it away from me."
At that time, she couldn't even afford to eat, so why not eat chocolate? When she wanted to eat it, they had took it away and ate it.
Paula blushed even more, regretting why she had mentioned such embarrassing things, which seemed to make her look bad indeed.
They were very young at that time to do that. The moment she saw her years later, she pretended to be familiar, but inside she was still very embarrassed to have done so many bad things to her after all. "But Eden, Irving really never got married for you. Jodie liked him so she kept an eye on Irving all these years."
Eden was speechless!
Was this really related to her?
"Paula, you can't talk nonsense. I don't know why you're putting this big blame on me. You're trying to make me feel guilty." Eden knocked on her plate with chopsticks. "We've got to meet with a client later. You've got half an hour to eat your lunch."
"Eden, you are such a careless woman. Can you be more serious about the people around you?" Paula was a little anxious.
Eden smiled. "Sorry, back then all I could think about in my mind was how I could afford my next meal. How would I have had time to think about other people's feelings and pay attention to them?"
"I give in to you! Why does Myra hate you so much? She won't even pay for your meal. Maybe because you have such a don't-care-about-anything attitude." Paula huffed and started eating. Eden smiled but did not say anything.
Victor, on the other hand, left in silence and gloom.
"Sorry, back then all I could think about in my mind was how I could afford my next meal. How would I have had time to think about other people's feelings and pay attention to them?"
The words made him sad.
She never mentioned the old days to him.
He only knew that she had a bad time, but he did not expect it to be so bad.
She was his cherished little princess. He had never imagined that his little princess would suffer so much because of him.
Victor only felt so sad that he could not breathe, and his dark eyes were full of pain and self-blame.
Half an hour later, Eden met with three key clients of the company. Because she met them in person and her design had always been very amazing, it went well when they talked about cooperation. Almost without much negotiation, the clients agreed to sign the contract.
Eden always knew that the business was like a battlefield. It was the ability to do what's important.
After the three clients had left, Eden started to sort out the things on the table.
Paula found Eden to be really amazing when it came to business.
One of the clients, a lady who looked tough, was easily persuaded by Eden. She didn't have much of a smile on her face, but she was happy when she left. Paula wondered what Eden had said to her to make her so happy.
Eden packed up the contract and whispered, "Let's go."
Paula followed her out, feeling as though she was of no use whatsoever. She did not say a word during the entire process.
Eden glanced at her watch and realised that there was no time to say hello to Jasper. Besides, after such a long time, Jasper should have left.
So she went to the elevator.
After taking a few steps, she met Jasper. However, he seemed to be preoccupied with a lot of things. He lowered his head and looked very bad. Dressed in a suit, he was still so elegant and noble, but his body was slightly shaky.
"Jasper." Eden called him softly.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jasper, who was in a very complex mood, suddenly looked up and saw her worried face. Paula was instantly attracted to Jasper the moment she saw him. Why were all the men around Eden so handsome? This man was as handsome as Victor.
"Eden." He called out. He stood three steps away from Eden and looked at her helplessly.
He felt so upset and wanted to hug her. But he tried his best to restrain himself. He knew that he was not qualified to do that.
Eden was worried because she knew he must be having a hard time right now. He seemed thinner than ever.
He, who had always been arrogant, would never show such a helpless look.
Eden walked to him. He was much taller than her and she always looked up when talking to him.
"You're thinner. Why don't you take good care of yourself?" Eden looked at him with concern.
