Career crisis

Wayne and his team had been in New York for almost ten days, but the client still refused to meet them.

Because of the time difference, Cayenne only waited for Wayne's call every day, fearing to disturb his work.

The call was reduced from once a day to once every three days. Sometimes the tone was perfunctory, sometimes the tone was impatient.

Cayenne could only wait. In the meantime, she started volunteering, taking driving and cooking classes.

Ivana sends text messages to Cayenne every night.

"Our boss is not in a good mood and the client refuses to meet us."

Cayenne didn't know how to comfort him.

"I can't accompany you, so take good care of yourself!"

Cayenne continued her studies and began to contact her friend from university.

She hasn't thought about contacting her high school friends yet, and doesn't know how to let them know that they are together.

Karen was her friend in university, "Cayenne, don't you count yourself taking the Le Cordon Bleu?"

"No, I'm afraid my boyfriend will call me and I won't have time to answer it."

Another week passed, it was already August, and Wayne had not come back yet.

 Ivana said that their team spirit was very low. The pressure from the company and the embarrassment from the other party made them breathless.

Cayenne was anxious and sad.

In fact, Wayne was in the same mood. Apart from the pressure at work, there was no progress. The hormone medicine in his body was slowly fading away, so he didn't want to talk to Cayenne on the phone.

Belle came to their home.

"Cayenne, I'm sorry, I'm here to help the boss take things to New York."

Cayenne was confused, "What's it?"

Belle hesitated, "Well, the boss's medical box."

Cayenne understood, and then her tone turned to pleading, "I'm sorry, can you take me there?"

New York City.

While Belle was driving, Cayenne suggested going to supermarket to buy daily necessities, fresh fruits and vegetables, and ingredients for Chinese soups.

"Thank you, Belle, without you, I can't do anything." Cayenne said sincerely.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at their residence, a large house on the mountain.

As soon as they entered the house, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. Why was it so full of smog?

There were pizza boxes, instant noodle bowls everywhere. They didn't clean them up and just rested in the room.

Cayenne immediately wore the gloves and got the plastic bags from the shopping bag to clean up, "Belle, please put the food in the refrigerator."

Belle admired her foresight.

Cayenne scrubbed diligently, cooked a pot of porridge, and then cleaned the bathroom.

At this time, Ivana had just gotten up and saw Cayenne cooking noodles. She immediately started crying, "Cayenne, am I dreaming?"

Cayenne was smiling, "You just woke up and want to dream again?"

Ivana woke up other colleagues, and they were also touched when they saw the hot food.

They sincerely appreciated Cayenne's thoughtfulness.

Belle knocked on Wanye's door and handed over the small box.

"Let's get started!" Cayenne concealed her worries, fearing that he would blame her for flying over for no reason.

Wayne opened the door and saw that Cayenne had cooked dinner, he realized how much he missed her!

"Thanks for coming." He hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Sorry, I didn't notify you in advance."

Wayne didn't answer, he just hugged her tightly and came to the dinner table, caressing her arm up and down, "Let's get started."

After dinner, everyone felt much better. Cayenne and the others had to rest first because of the jet lag.

Wayne looked at the sleeping Cayenne and said, "Thank you."

Her appearance made him feel more at ease and free from worries to pursue his career.

At this moment, Wayne was thinking that if he gave himself one more week, he would take her home.

At almost dawn, Cayenne woke up and found that Wayne was sleeping with her in his arms.

Upon closer inspection, he looked more like what she liked before without the medicine.

"I love you." Cayenne whispered, she loved him whoever he is.

She had wanted to say this for a long time. Even though she had dated two boyfriends, she still had not forgotten her Wayne Chan.

With sleepy eyes, Wayne seemed to hear her say she loves him, and he smiled, "I love you too."

He stretched and yawned, "Are you awake?"

Cayenne nodded, "You can sleep a little longer. We will visit our client, Mr Hou, before lunch."

Wayne fell asleep again.

At about eight o'clock, everyone got up to help make breakfast. Wayne drank coffee and looked at the documents again.

At noon, everyone was getting ready to leave. Cayenne changed into a pink silk dress from Shanghai Tang and carried a big bag. "Please let me go with you."

Wayne didn't understand, but let her go with him.

A mansion.

Hou plans to list the technology company in the United States to raise funds.

Wayne spoke first, "Thank you, Chairman Hou, for giving us another chance. I firmly believe that listing in Hong Kong and our services can bring the greatest benefits to the group. Hong Kong has a complete regulatory structure, low tax rates, no foreign exchange controls, and unrestricted capital flows." , I hope the chairman can consider coming back to list the company, just like coming home, and bring a refreshment to the market."

Hou suddenly smelled a familiar smell, "What's that coming from?"

Cayenne suddenly stood up and bowed, "Sorry, it's Dongpo pork."

Hou showed an expression of surprise and desire, "Can I have a taste?"

Other colleagues did not expect such a move and were amazed inwardly. Wayne was surprised that Cayenne had prepared this so early in the morning.

Cayenne picked up her Chinese food box, which contained Dongpo pork, Longjing shrimp, white rice and Chinese tea.

Hou praised, "It feels like home. Thank you."

Wayne smiled and held Cayenne's hand.

"Thank you for your appreciation. The Hangzhou chef said that Dongpo Pork takes a day to cook, so it tastes like home."

Hou savored it and thought, "Wayne, let me think about it again."

Wayne stood up, holding Cayenne's back, and thanked Hou together, "See you later."

As soon as they got in the car, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "Cayenne, are you from Hangzhou?"

Cayenne smiled, "No, I only know these two dishes."

Wayne didn't say anything, just held her hand tightly and looked out the window. It turned out that during these days, she was studying hard on her own, and she was still silently supporting him.

Ivana praised, "The most powerful thing is that the boss and Cayenne used the word "home" to arouse Chairman Hou's sense of resonance."

In the afternoon, everyone was busy preparing for the third meeting when the phone suddenly rang. It was Hou's assistant.

"Mr Chan, the boss said that you will arrange the listing in Hong Kong." Wayne was very excited after hearing this, "Thank you, I will instruct my colleagues in the legal department to prepare the contract."

He hung up and shouted "Yes!"

Wayne happily announced, "Hou Group will be listed in Hong Kong!"

All colleagues were very happy and immediately contacted the Hong Kong office.

Wayne quickly called the big boss.

Cayenne looked at him, In her eyes, people are most attractive when they work hard.

After the call, Wayne came over and hugged Cayenne, "I can finally go home!"

He told Belle to order Le Bernardin, and gently said to Cayenne, "You will like their seafood truffle pasta."

Cayenne put on a Chloe little black dress and paired it with a small handbag from Bottega Veneta.

When Wing saw her dress, his eyes lit up.

During dinner, Wayne raised a glass to express his gratitude to his colleagues, "I am also very grateful to Belle for taking care of everything for us. Of course, Cayenne's support is also very important!"

Ivana was excited, "Get married! Get married!"

When Isaac learned about the rudeness of their girlfriend that day and saw Cayenne's thoughtfulness and intelligence, they knew what stumbling blocks and stepping stones were. They were sure that their boss would be promoted after this trip.

He suggested with a smile, "Our boss likes wine, so it would be romantic to host it in a French winery."

France is one of the countries that recognizes their marriage.

Wayne just smiled.

Jess pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Are you and your girlfriend also planning to get married?"

Isaac relaxed his shoulders, "We've broken up. Her philosophy is different from mine. There is no point in staying together."

Jess has always liked Isaac and now she smiled secretly in her heart.

Cayenne lowered her head to eat the dessert and pretended not to listen their conversation.

Sunny understood what Isaac's meant. Although he was very angry at his girlfriend, he never thought they would break up.

Seeing that Cayenne remained silent, Wayne asked, "Are you ok?"

Cayenne smiled and said, "It's so delicious! Can I try yours?"

She is simple and easily satisfied in life, but Wayne didn't expect that the other side of her is so smart.

Back at the mansion, Cayenne was changing in the closet when Wayne walked in and kissed her.

"Honey..." 

After getting intimate, they hugged each other and were thinking: Am I ready to get married?

Cayenne had never had this idea. After so many years, they finally got together. She just wanted to maintain this relationship, but the commitment was too heavy and it felt that it was not the right time.

Wayne was also hesitant. Cayenne was gentle and sweet, but he was afraid that like her previous girlfriend, she would eventually be unable to bear the pressure and leave.

Besides, how can the families of both parties explain it?

Ivana's unintentional words caused some changes in their relationship.
