Chapter 35 Fall in Love Again
Nina blinked in confusion, struggling to understand what was being asked.
Otto clarified, “If you have to choose between all of us, who will you pick? But you can only choose one.”
Nina pondered the question deeply, her expression furrowed with concern as she weighed her options.
The pen remained idle in her hand as she stared blankly at the paper before her. She felt lost. She wanted to choose her Mommy, but she hesitated when she thought about how much her Daddy loved her and her brother.
Choosing between her parents was a difficult task for Nina. She felt embarrassed and unsure. After struggling for a long time, she finally shook her head and pouted, unable to choose between the two people she loved the most.
Otto noticed his younger sister’s troubled expression and sighed
“Look, I understand. I also don’t know what to do. We all wish for Mommy and Daddy to be together again, right? If they remarry, we can have a family reunion. What do you think?”
Nina gave the idea some serious thought and nodded in agreement.
She felt that her brother’s idea was a good one.
Otto was thrilled by his sister’s approval and exclaimed, “Great. Let’s work together to convince Lucas and Lyla later, okay?”
Nina hesitated for a moment before writing in the notebook, “But Daddy refused to be with Mommy, and it hurt Lucas and Lyla deeply. They feel like he doesn’t care about our family anymore.”
After reading what Nina had written, Otto responded, “I don’t think they hate Daddy. They just feel hurt for Mommy. I’m sure they also yearn for Daddy’s love, just like us.”
“So, If Daddy can make up for his mistakes, then there won’t be any problems between us. As for Mommy, it will be wonderful if Daddy can fall in love with her again.”
Nina tilted her head, considering her brother’s words, and agreed that it was a good plan.
She then wrote in the notebook, “So, how do we make this happen?”
Otto replied with a mischievous grin, “I’ve had a plan for a while now. We’ll book movie tickets online under our names to meet up with Daddy. And then, Lucas and Lyla will do the same with Mommy at the same time at eight-thirty. That way, they’ll bump into each other at the theater.”
Nina suddenly realized, but was a little worried, “What if Mommy decides not to come?” Otto reassured her with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve already booked a private showing for just the two of them. Even if Mommy wants to leave, at least we’ve made it possible for them to meet. The more they see each other, the more likely they are to reconcile.”
Nina understood and gave her brother a thumbs up, “Otto, this is a great idea.”
Aletta returned to their private room after using the restroom and found Jason already finished his meal and leisurely sipping his tea.
As she took her seat, she pulled out some documents and addressed him seriously, “Mr. Hill, can we discuss business now?”
Jason casually flipped through the documents Aletta handed him, but showed no immediate intention of signing them. He responded with a calm tone, “Before we proceed with signing, there are some matters we need to discuss further.”
Aletta raised her eyebrows and asked, “Do you have any questions or concerns, Mr. Hill?”
Jason spoke in a friendly and generous tone, saying, “Hill Group has provided you with all the necessary conveniences, so we want to know how you plan on delivering your formula. Also, the exact timeline for this delivery has not been set. During the cooperation period, who will be responsible for negotiating with Hill Group? Can you guarantee that the formula you are providing was indeed developed by Aletta?”
Aletta replied in a professional manner, “The formula will be provided directly to you once it is successfully developed. It usually takes about two months to develop a perfume, but I can ask to expedite the process if you need it urgently.”
“Rest assured, I guarantee that the perfume formula is developed by Aletta’s team. As for negotiating, it will depend on how she arranges it.”
Today, Aletta had gone out in person because there was no suitable candidate available to replace her.
She promised to arrange for other appropriate personnel to handle such matters.
Aletta preferred to limit her interactions with Jason as much as possible
Upon hearing her response, Jason’s eyebrows furrowed, indicating his dissatisfaction.
He said, “I don’t like people who give up halfway. Since you are leading this project, it would be best for you to handle the follow-up negotiations.”
Aletta initially hesitated and seemed to refuse the idea.
The man calmly lifted the teacup, and the steam clouded his eyes.
He spoke softly, “When there is a substitution midway, there are always discrepancies in some handovers. I don’t want any inconsistencies. Don’t you agree?”
Aletta was deep in thought, carefully considering Jason’s words.
She knew that if she participated in the research and development phase, it would be very demanding and time- consuming. She would have to spend long hours in the lab without any guarantee of when she could come out. It would be a real challenge for her to manage everything.
Aletta was trying to persuade Jason, saying, “Mr. Hill, I’m having a hard time making a decision on this matter. It all depends on Aletta’s arrangements.”
In response, Jason asserted, “I believe I am being completely sincere in our collaboration with the Hill Group this time. However, for this minor request, I believe that either Ms. Smith or Aletta should be able to fulfill it.”
He looked directly at Aletta and remarked, “I recall you mentioning that you never leave anything to chance when it comes to business affairs. However, it doesn’t sound like that’s the case now.” Aletta was briefly taken aback, struggling to deal with Jason’s difficult behavior. She regained her composure and responded with a smirk, “Mr. Hill, that was just a joke. I always keep my promises.”
“Good to hear,” replied Jason in a monotone voice. “Please convey your determination to take charge of this matter to the two bosses once you return.” He quickly finalized the decision, leaving Aletta feeling bewildered about the situation.
Wondering what went wrong, Aletta decided to compromise. and said, “I will inform Ms. Smith and Aletta of your request. Can we proceed with signing the contract now?”
As Aletta listened to Jason’s response, she felt an inexplicable anger rising within her. Jason seemed to notice her frustration, but he didn’t appear to care. Instead, he responded cheerfully, “Of course.”
With that, he took out a pen from his pocket and signed his name on the document.
Aletta glanced at his strong handwriting to ensure it was correct before quickly stashing it away. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Jason stood up, stretched his hand out, and said, “I wish the two companies a successful collaboration.”
Aletta was momentarily stunned as she gazed at the palm of his hand, noticing the sharp joints. It was a hand she had once hoped to hold tightly, but now, she found herself reaching out to him voluntarily.
Aletta lowered her eyes and concealed the unease in her heart, regaining her composure before shaking Jason’s hand and saying, “Of course.”
Just as she was about to retract her hand, there was a sudden knock on the door of the box. Jason assumed it was Eaton and casually said, “Come in,” but he didn’t let go of Aletta’s hand. When Gail entered, she was shocked by the scene before her and froze in place.
Aletta noticed Gail’s presence and for a brief moment, her eyes turned cold. She quickly withdrew her hand, and Jason immediately furrowed his brow, turning to Gail and asking, “What are you doing here?”
Gail regained her composure, smiled faintly, and explained, “I was having dinner with my friends tonight. When I saw Eaton outside the door, I came over to see.”
Seemingly oblivious to Jason’s displeasure, Gail added, “I know you’re here to meet a client, so I just wanted to say hello. I’m not interrupting anything, am I?” She intentionally walked over to Jason’s side, revealing an air of intimacy that suggested a sense of ownership
