She Didn’t Know What to Say
“What would you like to eat?” Lovell rarely smiled at Gloria.
Gloria smiled, “I‘m cool with anything. It‘s up to you.”
“This is my treat, so you could order whatever you want.”
With that, Lovell had already handed the menu to Gloria. Gloria smiled, ordered a few dishes, and
Lovell added some.
The waiter took their order.
After the waiter left, Lovell came straight to the point, “You approached me and wanted me to invite you
to dinner. I believe you miss your father, but you have other purposes, don‘t you?”
Gloria sighed, “Yes, I want to cooperate with you.”
Lovell snorted coldly and put on an expression as if saying “I knew it“.
Gloria smiled, “I guess you might be even angrier. This project happens to be the one you hate most.”
Lovell was speechless.
He squinted at the young girl in front of him and looked at her wordlessly, “Are you serious?”
“Yes!” Gloria was very serious, but she didn‘t take out her plan immediately. She needed to take her
time to talk with him, or she would only mess it up.
She didn‘t want her painstaking efforts to be wasted in the end.
After a pause, she looked at Lovell with a smile, “What‘s your greatest pleasure in these years?”
Lovell narrowed his eyes and looked at the young girl in front of him.
He knew that everything she said might be related to the cooperation.
His curiosity was roused.
He wondered what she was going to say.
Then, he said in a flat tone, “I don‘t have any greatest pleasure. It‘s probably my family…”
At this point, he suddenly remembered Gloria‘s situation and stopped talking.
Gloria smiled, “Yes, my greatest wish is that I have a harmony and happy family.”
Unfortunately, her mother left her when she was young, and her father… was also killed by others.
Lovell pursed his lips and didn‘t know what to say.

Gloria suddenly changed the topic, “Then what is your hobby?”
Lovell looked at her, “I‘m a boring person and have no hobbies.”
“You are wrong. You have.”
Lovell was speechless.
“You like to visit the House for Octogenarians, don‘t you?”
“Yes, of course.” Lovell seemed to be reminded and suddenly agreed.
Gloria smiled, “Well, do you know what my hobby is?”
“What on earth are you up to?”
“I‘m discussing the trivial things in life with you. Living the life and enjoying the life are different things.”
“Living the life means we should live, but enjoying the life means we need a happy life.”
Lovell sized her up and made no comments, “And then?”
Gloria smiled helplessly, “You don‘t have to guard against me all the time, do you? I haven‘t told you
about the cooperation. You can decide whether to cooperate with us or not after reading our plan. You
have the final say. I can‘t set a trap for you by talking with you, can I?”
However, Lovell immediately refuted it with a smile, leaving Gloria speechless.
