Chapter 25

Julie was pretty much desperate for a job, so when Elliot popped the question, she automatically asked

back, Really?”

Elliot nodded seriously, “Absolutely. The working hours here are flexible, the salary is decent, and the

tasks are pretty chill. Plus, the boss is a cool guy. This position has been vacant for a while, and I think

you’d enjoy working here*

“Really?” Julie was skeptical “What kind of job is this? Does it pay that well?”

What Julie really wanted to ask was, if the pay was so good, why was the position still empty?

Elliot just smiled mysteriously, then gave a slight smirk, “Mrs. Sanches. This position has been vacant

for almost thirty years. I think you’d fit perfectly, why don’t you

“No!” Julie didn’t expect that Elliot was just pulling her leg. She gave him a polite smile, “Thanks for the

offer, Mr. Sanches.”

Just then, Elliot caught up with Julie, who was about to leave. He paced himself with her and looked at

her stern face. He chuckled as he said, “I mean, why don’t we give it a whirl? You never know until you

try, right? If it doesn’t work out, we can just reconsider.”

Julie stopped in her tracks and looked at Elliot’s sincere gaze, “Elliot, we are not a good match. Can

you tell me why you are so persistent about this?”

Elliot laughed. There was a hint of self–mockery and helplessness in his laughter. He seemed to be

talking to himself, “I also want to know why I can be so persistent in liking a woman for so many years

who can’t even remember my name. Maybe you can tell me, what’s so good about you? What’s worth

my longing? Or accept my proposal and let me try to dislike you. Maybe after we spend more time

together, I won’t like you so much.”

Julie looked at Elliot with a deadly serious face, “Elliot, I once loved someone deeply for a long time. I

know what it’s like to be obsessed with someone every day. I have tasted it, been hurt, and had my

heart broken. Growing up is about experiencing pain and understanding life. If you think you love

someone to the point where you can say that you can’t live without her, it only shows that you are not

mature enough.”

After saying that, Julie got on the bus without any hesitation.

Once again, Julie left Elliot standing on the street.

This time, he didn’t just let Julie leave. He hailed a taxi to follow her but eventually lost her at a traffic

light.

Julie bought lunch and was on her way to the hospital to eat with Daphne.

Daphne could tell from Julie’s downcast look that she had failed to find a job, so she didn’t mention it.

Edda Flores came in with some washed fruit and immediately saw Julie. She rushed over and lovingly

pulled Julie aside, “Julie, I heard from Daphne that you don’t have a boyfriend, right?”

Julie smiled back, “Yes, but I’m not in a rush.”

“You should be worried about yourself! Marriage is a big deal! Let me tell you, once a woman passes

the ideal age for marriage, she might never find a man again. You can’t be like Daphne, who is

immature. How about I introduce you to a boyfriend?” Edda’s beautiful eyes stared at Julie, looking

exactly like a matchmaker. This left Daphne feeling helpless too.
