When Beau Taylor posted a photo of himself and Joy on WeChat Moments, both families knew the whole story. Mom and Dad were furious.
I could only persuade them that it was better to talk about this matter earlier than to cheat after entering into marriage. In order to make them feel at ease, I also told them that I had no feelings for Beau Taylor now, so they didn't need to worry about it.
My mother looked at me with satisfaction and nodded: "You have always been rational. When facing emotions, you must keep some space for yourself, so that you can retreat unscathed when faced with changes."
Dad thought: "It seems that the partner for the Chengbei project this time has to be changed."
I remained silent. Because in the last life, Beau Taylor and I were lovers, and the two families always considered each other first in business cooperation. In the last life, the Chengbei project found the Taylor family, but I knew that the Taylor family was not the most suitable. It was just because of my relationship with Beau Taylor that I thought that the benefits would not flow to outsiders, and at the same time, the relationship between the two families would be closer. But since we can't be a family in this life, we just need to consider who can benefit more from cooperation.
My studies are not very busy, so after studying, I will go to the company for internship. I also often attend some business banquets to gain knowledge and build connections.
This weekend, I attended an elder's 80th birthday. After greeting several elders with my father, I went to the dessert area to rest for a while.
At this time, Beau Taylor's brother came over with a glass of wine and said, "Luna Brown looks beautiful today."
I thanked him politely.
He took a sip of the wine in his glass, looked at me and asked, "I heard that Luna Brown hasn't found a partner for the North City project yet?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. My father is in charge of this matter." He laughed softly, "My eldest brother really threw away a good hand of cards. He threw away the watermelon and might not even be able to pick up the sesame seeds. He dared to be absent from an occasion like today."
I didn't comment. He looked at me and smiled jokingly: "Come to think of it, I'm only two years younger than Luna Brown . Why don't you consider me?"
I politely declined, saying I wanted to stay for a while, and then he sent me away.
Suddenly, a low, husky, and magnetic voice came from the side: "Luna Brown is quite popular."
I turned around and saw Ray Jones standing there. I tightened my grip on the cup and said, "Ray Jones, eavesdropping on people is not a gentlemanly act."
He leaned slightly closer to me and whispered, "A gentleman stays calm when a woman's arms are bent on him. But I can't be a gentleman in front of Luna Brown."
His approaching body instantly reminded me of that absurd and chaotic night. I shook the wine glass in my hand: " What does Ray Jones mean by this?"
" Isn't that the youngest son of Taylor family ? He is too young. If you are looking for a partner, Luna Brown can consider me, what do you think?" he said.
I looked at the mature and charming man in front of me, and thought of his business operations in the next few years. I have to admit that he is very capable and skillful. If I were to find him as a partner...
I was about to answer when I heard a whisper in the distance. I turned around and found that Beau Taylor was here. Not only did he come, but he also brought Joy with him. The two must have just come back from riding a motorcycle, and they were wearing motorcycle clothes, which was out of tune with the suits and dresses of the people present. Beau Taylor 's father was whispering something to him, and his expression looked very angry. Joy was holding Beau Taylor 's arm and looking around.
After they greeted the old man who was celebrating his birthday, Beau Taylor led Joy over.
