Chapter 3 Try to live a good life

Jane returned to the office of the Business Department and heard her colleagues discussing the new Chairman. Everyone was just talking about him. Likes they knew a lot about the new Chairman. Katelyn Max, Jane’s colleague, as she saw Jane she moved towards her. "Jane, you were lucky to get the first chance to stand near the Chairman." Jane smiled indifferently, "It is just about work. We are just here to do work. If you think you’re good at doing things around the Chairman, you definitely encounter things like this in the future, at that time ask the manager to send you. " Erica Michael quickly waved her hand, "Indeed, our new Chairman is handsome and charming, and his looks and personality are really out of our approach." "The new Chairman will come to visit us in a few minutes, everyone ready your work report." Deana Brad, the manager of the Business Department, went into the office and gave orders to her staff. “The new Chairman is coming to inspect!” Hearing this news, Jane seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva. She was so nervous that her heart came to her throat. The fact that her newly married husband Edwin Carter was the new Chairman of the company still needed some time to digest, and at present, she was not ready to face him. All the other colleagues returned to their seats, but only Jane was still standing at the same place. Deana Brad looked at Jane and asked, "Jane, do you need anything?" "No, nothing." Jane quietly clenched her fist, hurried back to her seat and opened the computer to check the customer’s information. After a while, the elevator jingled and in a group of people, Edwin Carter appeared in front of her. Fortunately, Edwin Carter just greeted the Department staff, listened to Deana Brad’s simple work report and walked away with a group of people. A moment after Edwin Carter left the business department. There burst out a hasty noise and even Deana Brad, who was usually steady couldn’t help gossiping with everyone. The topic of their gossip was whether their handsome and unapproachable Chairman is married or single? Jane listened to their discussion and didn’t utter a single word. Her heart wants to let these people know that the spouse column of the Chairman’s marriage certificate is already filled with her name, but one thing she wasn’t sure about was the reaction of these women. Working hours of this day, under the circumstances of tension and anxiety, are finally over. The colleagues were all gone, so Jane packed up and got off. What kind of mentality and temperament should she use to face Edwin Carter in the evening? Jane really doesn’t know the answer to these questions and doesn’t know whether she should go back to her "home" with Edwin Carter or not. Out of the company gate, Jane habitually turned right to the B entrance of the Metro Science Park station. After a long walk, she remembered that now she is living with her newly married husband. Edwin Carter’s apartment is not far from the Science and Technology Park. There are also three bus stops. It’s about half an hour’s walk. Looking at the time, it’s only five o’clock. However, she hasn’t figured out yet how to face Edwin Carter. So she just decided to go home and think about this matter. Back downstairs, she decided to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some vegetables and meat. No matter how big is the problem, filling your stomach is the first thing. She did not know what Edwin Carter like to eat, she took out her phone to ask him, but she was worried that whether he attends her call or not, so after some moments of this continuous thinking she put the mobile phone back. After doing groceries, she walked towards her home. At a short distance from the elevator, she saw a very strange and at the same time very familiar figure, facing the entrance of the elevator, standing straight, wearing a light gray suit that extremely suites him. It was Edwin Carter standing upright, with an appealing figure. From a distance, the whole scene looked like charming scenery. However, there was still some confusion about how such a good-looking man and the Chairman of a big company, could come to meet an ordinary woman at a blind date and fall in love with that ordinary woman. "You’re back." Jane walks over and greets him in the most normal way possible. "Yes." Edwin Carter looked back at her. Her face was not bright and at the same time have different expressions. Jane gave him a smile and stood beside him. She only looked at him once, and always felt that the man seemed different today. But what is the difference? She could not recognize it for a moment. The light from the corner of her eye glanced quietly. It turned out that today he was wearing glasses. The gold frame of glasses made this man look more calm and restrained. Jane sighed silently in her heart, this man only spoke more when they met for the second time, and normally they both stayed quiet. She wanted to fill the gaps in their relationship, but she didn’t even know how to start the conversation. Now she knew his astonishing personality which made it more difficult for Jane to approach him. While she was thinking of it, Edwin Carter suddenly stretched out a hand towards her, Jane instinctively took a small step and shorten the distance between them. "Give me the bag. I’ll carry it," he said, lightly. He was not annoyed by her inadvertent closeness, but in an extremely normal manner, he took the bag from her hand. Jane felt her face was burning hot. He just wanted to help her carry the bag, but she just got lost in her fantasy. Looking down at Edwin Carter’s powerful big palm carrying a large bag of things in a very effortless manner, a warm thing bumped into her heart two times. Jane thought optimistically, even if there was no love, even if he was the Chairman of the company, but as long as two people honestly with their pure intentions work for their marriage, they could spend a very sound life. They entered the elevator, and none of them spoke. After coming home, Edwin Carter put the things into the kitchen and said, "I’m not very good at cooking. So tonight I’ll give you this trouble." "You do your job. Leave the cooking to me." Jane said, while putting the package away. She takes off her coat and put on the apron. "Thank you!" He spoke lightly. "You are very kind." Jane squeezed out a smile, her laugh was a little awkward. They were already husband and wife, but the way they choose to get along with each other was just like two strangers. She considered it as the wife’s natural duty to prepare a meal for her husband, but the way he thanked her made her feel awkward.
