"You're looking too much into it!" She said as she scoffed.
I smiled faintly. I couldn't be bothered, "Think of it this way. I would be like you, thinking that I was overthinking it if this was the only incident that happened."
The car stopped at the traffic light, and I continued, "But I graduated from The University of Ucrebury. I joined Roberts Group as soon as I graduated. Do you think I learned a lot in university? I didn't. I was in the Roberts Group for two years, and in that short period of time, I became a project manager. Do you really think that it was Master Roberts who was pulling strings?"
She asked, "Was it not?"
I laughed and said, "Roberts Group is under Hendrix's management. Although Grandpa is an elder, he cannot manage or control the company as he pleases. Besides, Grandpa is also a seasoned player in the business. Do you think he's not aware of how important a project manager is?"
Her face was cold. The traffic turned green and I stepped on the pedal, saying, "For relationships to work, the couple would have to be on the same wavelength. When first I joined Roberts Group, I was nowhere on par with Hendrix in terms of professional ability nor leadership. Therefore, Hendrix made me work hard and suffer in the job market for two years. Later, I slowly made my way up as a project manager. He asked me to shadow him on every project he worked on to improve my professionalism. He was very cold to me, but he was always willing to teach and guide me."
Looking at how ghastly Andrea looked, I continued, "As a matter of fact, he taught me how to grow as a person. However, he has always taken care of you because of his commitment and responsibility. But think about it, how did he feel about you in the years when I was not around?"
"If he really had feelings for you, do you think I would follow through Grandpa's arrangements and marry him? Does he give in to people's orders that easily? Furthermore, you guys can be considered as childhood friends, and even childhood sweethearts for that matter, but have you ever thought about why he only cared for you as an older brother would?"
"That's because you showed up. You're despicable!" She was infuriated.
