Emmeline was unaware that a man had sat down next to her.
When she turned her head, she was pleasantly surprised to see such a handsome man!
He was dressed in a navyâblue suit with a silver striped tie, looking impeccably neat and elegant!
âHello, Iâm from Altney City,â Emmeline greeted the man with a faint smile.
âAltney is a great place. The man smiled. âItâs an economically developed heavy industrial area.â
âYes!â Emmeline politely nodded.
âThis is my business card. Pleased to make your acquaintance. The man handed his card to Emmeline with both hands.
Emmeline took the card and read it softly. âHavencrest International Enterprise Management Consulting Company, Brandon Wyau.â
âI apologize, Mr. Wyatt Emmeline smiled and said, âI donât have a business card. My name is Emmeline Louise.â
Brandon wrote Emmelineâs name on the table with his fingertips. âEmmeline Louise, is that right?â
âYes, thatâs right.â
âAre you here for the advertising training?â Brandon asked, his deep eyes probing âYes, Emmeline smiled.
âIâve been watching you from afar, and you didnât notice for over ten minutes. Brandon laughed. âGirls should always be more alert.â
âOh.â Emmeline shook her head with some embarrassment. âI really didnât notice. I was captivated by the song.â
âDo you know?â Brandon smiled. âYouâre just like a painting, instantly captivating people.â
âThank you.â Emmeline blushed a little at being praised like this.
Brandon glanced at his watch, stood up, and said, âIâm heading over to the organizing committee. You can find me if you need anything.
âOkay, please go ahead. Emmeline stood up to bid farewell.
But just as he turned around, Brandon suddenly stopped.
He pointed at the bracelet on Emmelineâs wrist. âIs that an Imperial jade bracelet you have there?â
Emmeline didnât expect him to notice the bracelet.
She had been wearing it every day and had nearly forgotten about it.
And if memory served her right, she had been wearing this bracelet for five years.
Back when she just started college, Abel bought it for her on a business trip.
An Imperial jade bracelet?
Emmeline smiled.
She didnât know whether the bracelet was made of Imperial jade or not, and even Abel probably didnât know either.
The next morning, in the conference room on the fourth floor.
Over three hundred students from different cities gathered together.
A deep and magnetic male voice said. âI am the main lecturer for this session, Brandon Wyatt..â
Then, a handsome man in a navyâblue suit appeared at the front of the stage.
He was about twentyâsix or twentyâseven years old, refined and elegant, yet also proud and confident, with a unique temperament that instantly captured the hearts of everyone in the room.
âI will use the next two and a half days of training to guide everyone in mastering the basics of advertising marketingâ¦â
After the morning session, Emmeline accepted Brandonâs invitation and had a meal with several members of the organizing committee.
She found out that Brandon was the general manager and chief lecturer of Havencrest International.
He was also a top lecturer in the domestic enterprise management industry.
Within two and a half days, Emmeline became familiar with Brandon.
During every brief moment of free time, Brandon would pay attention to her and inquire about her progress in learning.
His manners and thoughtfulness in conversation were impeccable.
Now Emmeline understood that Brandonâs perfection was the result of being specially crafted for the lecturer industry.
Lunchtime ended simply and pleasantly.
Brandon and Emmeline returned to the training classroom together.
âThereâs something I want to tell you. Brandon stopped at the door leading to the backstage area.
âPlease go ahead.â
âIf I had met you thirty days earlier, I wouldnât have made a wrong choice.â
Emmeline was at a loss for words. She didnât expect to hear such words and felt a bit awkward.
âA month ago, I entered into a marriage that went against my own wishes but conformed to othersâ
expectations.
âIf thatâs the case, then you shouldnât have let it happen, right?â Emmeline looked at him with clear eyes, searching for answers.
âIn life, many things happen beyond our control, and we canât be completely selfish.â
Brandon smiled quietly, his expression tinged with a hint of melancholy.
Emmeline said nothing. She thought of Janic, thought of herself, and suddenly understood Brandonâs words.
âPlease donât misunderstand. Brandon grinned. âI just wanted to express my thoughts, nothing more.â
Emmeline nodded gently. âUhâhuh.
It was someone elseâs private matter, and she had no right to interfere.
At half past five in the afternoon, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Abel The session was not yet over, so Emmeline declined the call and sent him a message. Class will be over in twenty minutes.â
Abel replied, Iâll be there in about twenty minutes. Letâs have dinner together.
Emmeline responded, âOkay, drive safe.
Ten minutes before six, the training session ended.
The students exited the room in an orderly manner amidst the passionate music.
Abel called again. Tm here, Emma. Iâm in the parking lot downstairs.
