Hard To Say Goodbye

Chapter 44 A Thousand Miles Away

Last time, in order to meet Nora, Hal asked his assistant to receive the clients on behalf of him. After

being seen through by the clients, he relied on his own sincerity to move them and make them change

their minds successfully.

A good reputation was promoted by others, not by himself.

In a huge commercial empire, all the groups had formed a chain of life. They seemed to have no

connection with each other, but otherwise, the inside was crisscrossed and inseparable.

The fact that Hal arranged a visit to his clients and apologized to them in person had caused a great

stir in the business circle. The leaders all praised Howard for having a promising son. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

With a good reputation, the group would naturally have more business, and with more business, the

group's profit was naturally not to be mentioned.

Hal was busy with the company's affairs recently, so he seldom went to see Nora. Occasionally, he

took some time to talk to her. After a few words, he was stuck in business again. Either he needed to

sign his name, or he needed to have a meeting.

The colleague joked with him last time, "Mr. Hal doesn't have time to go to the bathroom."

All parents in the world loved their children. No matter how old they were, they would always be a child

in their parents' eyes.

Susie stayed at home for several days without seeing his son. She had headache because of her son.

Howard had retired. He read newspapers, drank tea in the sun every day, leading a happy life.

Every time she saw he like this, she couldn't help but complain, "Howard, can't you go to the company

to help Hal? It's not that you are too old to walk."

Squinting his eyes, Howard said to Susie with a smile, "Women have long hair and short brains. I'm

training him. Otherwise, how can he achieve great success?"

Women are softhearted, and children are the flesh and blood of mothers.

Susie thought for a while and agreed. Parents couldn't stay with their children for a lifetime. They had

to grow up and go out by themselves.

A small tree growing in the greenhouse could not grow into a towering tree.

Hal yawned and felt sleepy. He still had two documents at hand to sign. The clock was almost eight

o'clock, and the Secretary beside him was sleepy.

Hal took a deep breath and said to his secretary, "That's all for today. Let's go to have dinner after

work."

When he got home from work, he found that the light in his parents' bedroom was still on. But it was

late, so Hal didn't disturb them and went straight into his bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Hal tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He was sleepy, but he couldn't fall

asleep. He picked up his phone and wanted to call Nora. He wondered if she was asleep at this time.

He dialed the number, then exited, and dialed again... Hal thought. 'Forget it. Don't disturb her. It was

so late now.'

Seeing that the light in Hal's bedroom was still on, Susie poured a cup of milk and handed it to her son.

Looking at her son's tired expression, Rebecca said sadly, "Work is important, but health is more

important."

Hal nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I know what I'm doing."

"It's late. Go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow," said Susie. She stood up and went back

to her bedroom.

Looking at his mother's back, Hal sighed deeply. He had grown up. Don't treat him as a child anymore.

A few days ago, Nora promised to introduce Grace to apply for a job in the Sea Rise Group. Without

the news of Hal, she was too embarrassed to bring her there directly. What if the Sea Rise Group didn't

recruit her.

Hal used to come to the company from time to time and he pick up the phone every day. Now when he

was in need of something, he even disappeared.

In the office, Nora walked back and forth absentmindedly, which made Murphy's eyes almost dazzled.

He knocked on the table with a pen. Hearing that, Nora glanced at him, sat down on the chair and

looked out of the window in a daze.

Murphy thought, 'What's wrong with this little woman in front of me? What trouble did she encounter

again?' A series of questions troubled him.

In order to solve the doubts in his heart, he decided to end this embarrassing situation first.

Murphy walked to her and said, "What's wrong with you today? Is there anything bothering you?"

Nora was startled. She looked at him in a daze and wondered when he came to her side, as if she

didn't notice it.

Murphy continued, "Why don't you say anything? Are you silly? What irritated you?"

Hearing what he said, Nora burst into laughter and said, "I'm okay. I just don't want to talk."

She didn't want Murphy to know that she wanted to introduce Grace to apply for a job in the Sea Rise

Group. Originally, he was unhappy because of Hal. As long as Hal came to her or called her, as long as

he knew it, he would be angry.

In fact, only Nora knew that she had nothing to do with them, but Murphy had already regarded Hal as

a rival in love, and nothing was known, and his formula had already been established.

She didn't want anyone to be sad, nor did she want anyone to hurt her heart.

Many things went against her wishes, and many things were out of her ability, but if she tried her best,

there would be no regret.

She wanted to do everything best, because she was a woman who pursued perfection, but there were

always some imperfections. Perhaps there was really no perfect person or thing in the world.

Every time he wanted to get close to her, care for her and love her, he was pushed away by her

ruthlessly and refused thousands of miles away.

The greater he hoped, the greater he felt disappointed, and the more desperate he became. If despair

lasted for a long time, would his heart die? It was terrible to think about it. He really didn't want that

result.

Recently, the favorable impression of Nora became stronger and stronger for him. The woman who

made him dream every day seemed to have appeared in his life.

He couldn't help thinking of her. Even if he had a worse headache, he couldn't catch the woman he

liked. This feeling was so helpless.

Her pain was no less than that of Murphy, because at least he had lost his memory. What he suffered

was only now, and his mind was normal. He had suffered before, and now he was even more painful.

The two of them lived in torment every day, and at the same time they liked each other. This kind of life

really made life worse than death.

At present, there was no better way to solve the problem, so she could only keep this situation and let

the life move step by step. It was not easy to follow her heart.
