Accompanied by the soothing and relaxing music in the restaurant, the door slowly opened under the push of the waiter.
A girl in a sky blue dress walked into the door with brisk steps, which made Max, who finally mustered up the courage, almost want to get up and run away.
Although it had been many years, he knew that the elf-like figure was the girl he had longed for.
"Hi Max!"
Under the guidance of the waiter, Fleur immediately spotted Max, a childhood playmate she had not seen for many years.
"Hi Fleur, long time no see!"
Seeing Fleur's eyes on him, Max quickly stood up from his seat, showed a smile he had practiced countless times, and shook his hands uneasily.
As a high-income earner with a monthly salary of 100,000 US dollars, Max can be calm and composed in any situation, but not this time.
He had prepared a long speech for a long time but could not utter a single word under the girl's radiance. The hesitant look made Fleur purse her lips and laugh.
"Ah, what are you laughing at?"
Max had no idea that he had become what Julio called an idiot. He asked Fleur to sit down and handed over tonight's menu.
"Oh, it's nothing. Maxine too, long time no see."
Maxine is the nickname Fleur gave Max when she was a child. It is usually not mentioned in the presence of outsiders, not to mention that both of them are adults. It can be seen that she is in a good mood at this time.
"I never thought it would be such a coincidence that you work in New York. I thought you would go to Los Angeles County Hospital!"
Max raised his hand and glanced at the famous watch on his left wrist, but Fleur's attention was obviously not on the watch, but on the F+M tattoo.
"You got it tattooed on your body, Maxine?" "Oh, you mean that?"
Seeing that she had noticed it, Max felt a burst of joy in his heart and generously stretched out his hand to show the girl this somewhat childish tattoo.
"That was a really wonderful time, wasn't it?" Fleur carefully looked at the pattern she drew with a pen when she was a child. She didn't expect that Max actually had his childhood dream tattooed on his body.
"Yes, but we can't turn back time. We all have our own lives to live." Seeing the girl's lack of reaction, Max asked tentatively, "Are you living a satisfactory life in New York?"
After hearing Max's question, Fleur couldn't help but smile.
Unlike the abject image in the movie, she is now neither a county hospital nurse with a meager salary nor a deceased husband and a terminally ill daughter.
Fleur is still a nurse, but not an ordinary nurse, but the official head nurse of New York Star Group Medical Center.
It can be regarded as having benefited from Max. Yang Tianyi used money to pave a bright road for this ill-fated girl.
A few months ago, Qunxing Group purchased a large private hospital in New York and transformed it into a medical center for the whole society on the pretext of investing in medical services and creating a better tomorrow for mankind.
At that time, Frey, who had just completed her nursing major in Los Angeles with a group scholarship, naturally received a special invitation letter from the group, saying that if she was interested, the New York Medical Center would reserve a head nurse position for her.
Although she didn’t know what she had done to make the unattainable Qunxing Group favor her so much, she was content with it. Anyway, she had nothing to worry about in Los Angeles, and her few friends and classmates were also in the Qunxing Group. He works in various factories and enterprises under the company.
So she packed her bags and boarded a group charter flight to New York with her vision for a better future.
Facts have proved that Fleur's choice is wise. Not only can she now get a monthly salary of 25,000 US dollars, but she can also live in a luxurious single apartment built by the group for fresh graduates - a place where many young people fall in love. A double harvest in career.
The dream-like experience in just a few months made this girl who was used to hardship feel like she was favored by God. Especially not long after arriving in New York, she actually saw Max's name on the medical center's group insider list.
In contrast, Max also discovered that the girl he missed day and night was actually beside him.
An email inviting Miss Fleur to have dinner led to the emergence of this scene at this moment. It is hard to imagine what thoughts the two of them had after Fleur agreed.
"Hello guests, if I may now, please allow me to introduce you to tonight's meal."
A middle-aged waiter wearing a black tuxedo walked to the table with elegant steps, temporarily ending the conversation that had rapidly heated up the relationship between the two.
"Of course, please tell me." Max nodded and said there was no problem. Upon seeing this, the waiter introduced them in a slow and calm tone.
The guests in front of him were said to be senior executives of the Star Group, and the owner of the restaurant repeatedly emphasized that they must not feel slighted or dissatisfied, otherwise this nationally renowned restaurant would have to be bought by the legendary young and willful chairman and turned into a parking lot. No.
"Sir, your appetizer is a butter chicken puff pastry box, and this lady's is smoked salmon prepared for you by our best smoker."
"The soup prepared for both of you is top-quality borscht made with fresh vegetables shipped by air."
"After that......"
"followed by......"
"The desserts are made for you by our best pastry chef on the spot..."
"Finally, considering that you two won't be leaving right away, I prepared a caffeinated drink. Is that okay?"
Of course, Max has no objection to this, because this menu is a special menu that he planned after studying for a long time. Every exquisite dish is exactly the ideal that the girl once said in his childhood.
"Maxine! If you take me to the Elysian Space, I'll treat you to a butter chicken puff pastry box!"
"Cream, chicken, box? What is that?"
"Tch, even if you tell me, you don't understand. I heard this from the mouths of rich people in the city. It must be delicious!"
"Okay, then what do you eat?"
"Me, I've always wanted to try smoked fish..."
"..."
Max forgot a lot of things, but he remembered everything about the girl.
She likes the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds. She once dreamed of being a painter, but after witnessing a tragic car accident, she changed her mind to being a nurse who saves lives and heals the wounded. She thinks that there are many cute animals, handsome men and beauties in the Elysium. ...
She was going to treat herself to butter chicken puff pastry boxes and smoked salmon.
Seeing that Fleur's eyes were a little red, Max pushed the tissue box on the table and said with a smile: "Frey, I remember, I always remember."
"Maxine, it's great to see you again." Fleur took out a tissue and wiped the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, her tone mixed with joy and touch.
"You know Maxine, I was really worried about you a few months ago."
Seeing Max's face filled with tension and confusion, Fleur happily broke into tears and smiled: "Your reputation as a legendary car thief has spread to the school. When a friend of mine told me about your name, I I still don’t believe it!”
After looking up and down at Max's extraordinary hairstyle and clothing, Fleur tilted her head.
It seems that the fate of both of them has changed because of the Star Group.
"No, no, no, Fleur, please listen to my explanation. I stopped doing this business a long time ago." Seeing his beloved talking about that unbearable experience, Max quickly took out his work ID card from his pocket.
Fleur looked at Max's ID and read word for word: "Special recruitment specialist of the Star Group's security department? What a mouthful of a title."
Seeing the pride that couldn't be hidden on Max's face, Fleur helped him close the ID, showing a trace of warmth from her clear, dark brown eyes.
"I'm a little hungry. How about you, my recruitment specialist?"
