My Youth Began With Him

10

- Three days later -

An official statement released by the city: three days ago, a certain high-level official visited the city to examine the city's economic situation. The official expressed his satisfaction towards one of the leading enterprises, Chase Corporations Corporation, after an in-depth visit.

After the release of this statement, major media outlets began reprinting and reposting it...

At the same time, Chase Corporations Corporation's stocks grew by 25% by the end of that day.

George was overwhelmed with joy when he saw this news. It seemed like handing Chase Corporations over to his son was the right choice.

He had no clue how his son managed to come into contact with this certain official, but his corporation definitely benefited from it.

- In the evening -

It was already 8:30 PM when Andrew returned home.

"Drew, have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Chase asked enthusiastically.

"I have," replied Andrew as he headed towards the stairs.

"Drew, I saw the news today, and you've clearly proved me wrong. I'm very curious as to how you came into contact with this mysterious official," George asked formally as he laid down the newspaper.

"With my life on the line." Andrew turned around to head upstairs after this brief answer.

It was the truth - if something wrong happened during that surgery, then he would have ended up in jail and been forced to eat rice gruel for the rest of his life.

Many admired, were envious or even hated one's exceptional exterior, but only a few knew how much effort was put in behind one's radiant façade.

"What is with his attitude?" George was angry.

"George, our son is very busy with work lately, please understand. The corporation is now developing at a stable pace, isn't this what you've wanted the most?" Mrs. Chase spoke in favor of her son.

- At First People's Hospital -

During her night shift, Jessica just happened to come across Martin in the hall.

He seemed to have just gotten off work. He was in a blue t-shirt, paired with beige khakis and white sneakers; he looked quite clean and put together.

On that note, she had forgotten that they hadn't seen each other for several days.

"Jessica," he stopped her.

She raised her head and looked at Martin with calm eyes, as if she was looking at any other colleague.

Martin was somewhat disappointed at Jessica's reaction, as he thought that she would have been at least happy to see him.

"Did you need me for something?" Jessica asked calmly.

"Oh, nothing, I suddenly remembered that I left some things at our old place. You can give it to me when you have the time."

"Okay, I'll look around when I get back," Jessica nodded and replied.

"You could just give it to Ally," Martin added, just to piss her off.

However, Jessica wasn't surprised at all when she heard this. Instead, she casually responded, "Sure."

Then, Jessica walked right past him.

Martin suddenly felt uncomfortable; he would be lying if he claimed that he had no feelings left for Jessica. After all, it took him a while before she agreed to go out with him.
