Time flies, time is like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, our birthday is here again!

At the beginning, I made a serious agreement with Andrei: we will celebrate our birthdays together in the future - what a romantic idea!

The reality is – we've only had one birthday together!

Received Andrei's birthday card.

Staring at the watch hand at midnight, I called Andrei, and the phone was turned off! After an hour, it still shuts down......

In desperation, I sent an email back to Andrei, wishing him a happy birthday.

Two days later, I received a call from Andrei, who asked me if I was in Moscow or Beijing? I told him I was in Beijing and asked him if he was in New York or Zurich?

Andrei laughed and said he was in London......

He read the email and knew I was calling him on my birthday, and he was on a flight to London. He apologized to me for not answering my calls.

I said, I know you're safe, and if you want to apologize for shutting down, should I apologize to him more?

All the time, in our calls, it was mainly Andrei who called me.

I said to Andrei, you still let me go to the United States, what if I am there? You're not still running around the world in three days.

That's right! Can you physically stand the whole world running like this?

Andre said, I also said that he, I don't run around myself, and I always make a mistake in jet lag, and it should be me who should pay more attention to our bodies!

I don't understand, since Andrey's branch is in the United States, what else does he always run to Europe?

Andre said that now that the world is in the post-crisis era, the investment environment is recovering faster than that of Europe and the United States, and he must seize this opportunity to snatch those European investors and let their firm gain a firm foothold on Wall Street!

Their clients on Wall Street are mainly from their firms, and some are bank clients referred through David. Most of these people are from Europe. These customers are conservative, egotistical, suspicious, and arrogant...... To deal with them, Andrei must visit in person!

André says he has now discovered his greatest strength: his French, German, English and Italian language skills come in handy when it comes to communicating with clients. This makes him more popular than those Wall Street homegrown companies! Also, he is in good health, and he can work 16 hours a day when others work eight hours a day...... Flying around the world is a piece of cake for him! He can be present in the investor's company at any time, which is one of the reasons why European lords like to deal with his company.

Andre swore that now he is going to get those opponents on Wall Street out!

I've always been confused about how Andre's company works in the United States, but I've come to feel more and more Andrew's dedication to his business.

Andrei is this kind of personality, and once he recognizes what is not achieved, he will not give up.

Suddenly, Andrei asked me:

- "Linna, you received a greeting card from Sergei on your birthday, right?" ”

- "Oh! My dear...... You forgot...... I have long since stopped working at Sergey's company! I replied, startled. Andrei's question made me very sensitive, because I felt that since the last time I talked to Andrei on the phone on Valentine's Day, he mentioned Sergei in a somewhat strange tone!

Although I feel that I have a clear conscience, I don't know what kind of effect the incident of me drinking with Roman and Sergei that day had on Andrei?

- "Andrey, do you think Sergey will remember my birthday?" "I said, remembering the greeting card I received from Katya the day before my birthday, I lied to Andrei for the first time in my life!

- "Sergei forgot your birthday, but, Linna, you shouldn't deny that he still cares about you!" Hehe...... He can even help you with your work in Beijing, which I never dreamed of. Andrei said in a strange voice.

- "When did he help me?" It was the old gentleman named Valery who was so nice that I agreed to be his assistant. I said.

I replied and thought, did this Andre do it on purpose?

I have told him more than once how I met Roman in Baikal and how I came to work in Beijing.

What I never expected was that, in Andrei's logic, he decided that I had listened to Sergei's words before I took care of Roman, and that was why I would have a job in Beijing later.

This was true, but it wasn't what André had imagined!

Originally, I thought that Andrey had long ago had no prejudices about Sergey. I used to be secretly happy about this......

However, now when Andrei talks about Sergei, the ambiguous and unpleasant words make me very depressed, and I don't know how to explain it to make Andrei feel relieved.

For this reason, I have regretted my words and actions on Valentine's Day more than once.

Sergei was even angry with Roman for not knowing that I was working for Roman, how can this be understood as Sergei helping me find this job?

However, if I tell Andrey everything about Sergei's words and deeds for the sake of the facts, God knows! What more inexplicable associations will Andre cause?

At this moment, I understood: no matter how hard I tried, words could not solve Andrei's problems, after all, I had met Sergey several times in the two years that Andrei and I had been separated. This is Andrey's deepest knot!
