Chapter 72 of the first white: The heart-to-heart of a man and a man, from drinking together to break the ice
Marcus, of course, has no interest in Danny, and he is willing to meet Brennan today, just because he is curious about what kind of person Aimee is marrying, and Brennan does not feel the need to persuade Danny to meet Danny, just because the person he is persuaded to meet is Aimee's ex-boyfriend whom he has never met. But neither Marcus nor Brennan knew about the relationship. After all, neither of them is a hairy young man, although they will not take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper so calmly, but behind the seemingly simple greetings, they are figuring out each other's intentions.
"How did you come to know Danny?" Marcus didn't answer directly if he could arrange a meeting, but asked Brennan with a smile.
"My wife introduced me to him. He used to be colleagues with my wife. Brennan replied unfazed. Both were trying to get closer to their goal.
"Your wife's colleague? What company did your wife work for before? "Marcus had today's meeting because Danny mentioned that he and Aimee were colleagues, but isn't the smart conversation just about letting the other party say what he wants to say?
"My wife used to be in Youjia." Brennan: I'll see if you'll say you know Aimee.
"Youjia is a very good company, very professional, and the people in it are elite. They work very closely with us. The first central procurement contract I signed after I came to work in Shanghai was with Youjia. Marcus wanted to say, "That's with Aimee." He stared across from him at the man who lived with Aimee, as if he wanted to see her shadow in him.
"Yes, my wife also said that the excellent family is very meaningful to her growth. Senbai is also a big company, and when my wife was in Youjia, she also dealt with Shengbai. Brennan's tone was so relaxed that Marcus picked up very naturally, "Oh, yes? What's your wife's name? Maybe we've seen it. ”
"yes, maybe you really know each other. However, she has been away from the excellent family for several years, and you may not still have an impression. Her name is AimeeNing. ”
Even though everything was in Marcus' anticipation and anticipation, he felt a punch in the chest and frowned painfully when he heard Aimee's name. Brennan saw that his face had changed, and immediately asked with concern, "Are you feeling any discomfort?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Marcus shook his head a little awkwardly.
"Do you have time? Why don't we go downstairs for a drink? Marcus looked at his watch and extended an invitation to Brennan.
Brennan actually planned it this way: the reason why they made an appointment to meet at this time was not to interfere with other normal work during the day, but also to leave room for possible friendship.
Men and men, if you sit one-on-one, it is very embarrassing, but with wine, it is different. Naturally, Brennan and Marcus broke their caution in the office, and even put their minds to it.
"Brennan, I didn't expect to meet you. Your wife, Aimee, is a very cute girl, sometimes silly, sometimes very smart, you never know how she will react in the next moment, and being with her is always a surprise. ”
"Marcus, didn't you consider my feelings in the tone you said about my wife? You know her well, huh? ”
"Very familiar. Didn't she mention me to you? Although Marcus knew that under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to explain the ex who had never appeared to the current one hundred and fifty ten, but if Aimee really didn't mention him, he was still a little unwilling.
"She told me that she once had an ex-boyfriend who got back together with her and dumped her, and what a coincidence, he was also called Marcus."
Marcus lowered his head: "It's not that I dumped her, it's that she has been ignoring me and not needing me, and I was so sad that I agreed to my ex-girlfriend's proposal." Despite the dim lighting, Brennan saw the heartbreak in Marcus' eyes.
"So you're the Marcus that Aimee told me?" Although he asked knowingly, Brennan was a little surprised by Marcus's affection. After so many years, he can still be so moved, it seems that his feelings for Aimee are not so careless, and he was also attentive back then!
"She's so straightforward and unabashed. She told you. Marcus remembered Aimee's big, innocent, clear eyes.
"It seems that I want to thank you for your kindness to Aimee back then. Although I always knew that she was mine and no one could snatch her away, at that time, I was not by her side. I really want to take care of her and be there for her all the time, but the distance doesn't allow it. Thankfully, you let her go at that time, giving me the opportunity to comfort you and care for her. Now I will spend my life protecting her and will not let her be hurt by anyone again. Brennan's words were sincere and full of warning.
"I know she cherishes you, and she said she would never see me again." The glass swirled around in Marcus' hand as he had turned his mind a thousand times.
Brennan didn't know that Aimee had expressed such a stance to her ex-boyfriend, he could imagine Aimee's upright and righteous words, and couldn't help but smile: "She is like this, her feelings are black and white, when she says love, she will carefully carve it into her bones, and if she says she doesn't love, she will quickly cut through the mess, a typical Capricorn woman, don't offend her." ”
Marcus certainly knows that. After all, his outstanding appearance is there, and before he met Aimee, his emotional experience was already rich, and even after he got married, he received countless oversights. As long as he said something, those women would echo warmly, only this Aimee, like an insulator, did not have the slightest ambiguity with him, a line was clearly drawn, and a point of view was clearly expressed. The more she did this, the more Marcus felt indebted, unwanted, outweighed, and missed. In his heart, there has always been such an empty place, where a girl who used to be sweet and now cold.
"Is she holding a grudge like this?" Marcus smiled and touched Brennan's glass.
"It's not a grudge, she has no grudge against you. She really let go. Now we are together and very happy. We are truly the right people for each other. It was the first time Brennan had heard that Aimee had refused to meet Marcus again. Such a categorical cut is really reassuring and gratifying! If you want to meet in the future, I will meet you.
"Marcus, whether in Shanghai or Hong Kong in the future, we can often come out and drink together." Marcus blinked knowingly, his deep eyes full of electricity. This kind of person, of course, can't let my coriander see again! Coriander is such a sensible, rational baby! Finding a smart and transparent wife is worry-free!
"Hey, Brennan, how did you talk to Marcus? Would he like to meet with me? Danny's call came after him.
