mr frank is faithful to love

(FR. Hilde Frank)

The former assistant resigned because of his marriage, which temporarily ended his life in Beidiao. The new assistant came for an interview half a week ago, and it's time to start work today.He is only 26 years old, a Japanese of few words, dark chestnut hair slightly long, looks very cold, his badge is polished, his name is Yota Nozawa.

He arrived earlier than me on the first morning, greeted me in the company lobby, and said a few things about the morning meeting. When I went upstairs and returned to the office, I found that he had washed a set of tea sets in the cabinet that had not been used for a long time. After cleaning, I turned on the coffee machine again and made scented tea.

I asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten it, sir. I made it at home." His Chinese still has a slight accent, but it doesn't affect communication. The main reason is that he is very good at German, calm and has work experience, so he was selected among more than a dozen applicants. he.

I'm not used to people calling me like that, so I flipped through the documents and said, "You can call me Frank, that's what my assistant used to call me."

"Okay, Frank." He was wearing a suit now, but when he came to hand over work yesterday, he wore a modified Japanese suit, dark linen trousers, a cream-colored upper body, and a half-worn luxury handbag.

Today, it was very different from yesterday, with her hair tied up behind her head, and she was wearing a pair of round-toed leather shoes with straps.

The job of an assistant really needs to be adjusted. After a long time, I was still not used to it, because the previous assistant knew my work rhythm very well, so we have been able to cooperate seamlessly, but Nozawa is obviously in a kind of cautious and busy, Even with his experience, he was calm.

He took the cup from my table to wash, but overturned the pen container on the corner of the table. I saw him squatting down to pick it up, so I didn't say anything.After a while, Nozawa stood up, walked a few steps towards me, and said, "Frank, there is a badge under the table, is it yours?"

I did lose one badge, a little gold rainbow flag that Ethan gave me.

I said, "It's mine. I lost it for several days and couldn't find it. Thank you."

"No thanks."

Nozawa's eyelids are very thin, they are double eyelids, with drooping eyelashes, he looks like a person in an ink painting, he suddenly smiled, this is the first time I saw him smile, he looks like that The restrained gentleness unique to the Japanese.

I'm not used to it.

"Do you have a lover, Frank?"

I don't know why he suddenly called it, at least now I don't think it's something he should care about, but out of politeness, I still answer: "Yes."

"Is that the legendary rock musician?"

"It's working time now." I raised my eyes to look at him and answered him clearly.

I have always treated all my subordinates equally, and I don't want to be too friendly, and I don't like to waste working time talking about other topics.By this time, my impression of Nozawa was suddenly not so good. He resumed his original indifferent expression and went to help me bind things.

After the meeting in the morning, I called Ethan in the office. Nozawa knocked on the door outside, and I raised my voice to let him in. He said he wanted to ask for instructions on the schedule, and I said, "Wait a minute."

"Work during lunch?" Ethan asked over the phone.

I replied: "No, the assistant is talking about the schedule, it's okay, I'll let him wait."

"Then you go to work, go to my mother's place at night, don't pick me up, I will go there by myself."

"Okay, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, I saw Nozawa still standing there in a reserved manner, wearing glasses with gold-rimmed squares, and said in German: "I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay," I sat down, took his new schedule, remembered something, and said, "Sorry, if it's not necessary for work, it's better to speak Chinese, we live in China, it's better to practice speaking more .”

"Got it, Frank."

I originally promised to see Ethan at night, but he secretly waited downstairs for me to get off work, wearing a patterned shirt and short boots, sitting in the hall with his legs crossed and eating cake.And I walked in front of Nozawa, and I wanted to go to the exhibition hall on the first floor with him, so I ran into Ethan.

He winked at me and sat there without moving, but I walked over, although he kept waving his hands as we approached, saying, "Go get busy."

Nozawa was still standing far away waiting for me, looking this way with a blank face, Ethan pointed to Nozawa and said, "You don't look bad, you interviewed yourself?"

"Yes, but there are other colleagues as well."

"Times have changed, all assistants have to be beautiful," Ethan puffed his mouth, put the unfinished cake on the coffee table, stood up, and said, "Okay, you go to work, come find me after get off work."

"I didn't pay much attention to what I looked like," I said.

But I seemed to have lied. How could I not pay attention to a person's appearance at all? I turned around and walked back to the exhibition hall with Nozawa. Nozawa followed me with a computer and whispered: "You Are you unhappy?"

"No." I said.

"Sometimes being in love can be very realistic."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Nozawa quickly explained that he was joking, even though I didn’t find it funny, and I was about to get off work in half an hour. On the way, I met an American who worked with me a few years ago. He is now working at the German headquarters and recently came to China on a business trip. .

I chatted with the Americans for a few words, so the follow-up work was not completed as scheduled. When it was time to get off work, Nozawa said that he would go upstairs to change clothes. I handed the documents to him and went to Ethan. About eight or nine Minutes later, when my car was driving for a while, a message from Nozawa popped up on my phone.

I drove the car and ignored it. Ethan was sitting in the co-pilot playing games. He told me that Wu Rui was away recently, so he was very happy to go home.

"My head is going to explode," Ethan said, "Zhou Yiyi asked me to shoot fashion magazines and accept interviews."

"It's okay, she will arrange it, don't think too much." I said.

Ethan sighed and said sullenly, "I'm worried that I'm not very good at talking, and this kind of scene is not suitable for people like me."

"Fashion magazines, maybe they're not that serious. If you're nervous, I can accompany you there."

"No, you are so busy."

I didn't have time to check the messages on my phone until my car parked in the yard of Ms. Zuo's house. Nozawa sent several messages saying: Excuse me.

Said: Frank, I don't know if I can treat you to dinner another day. I know you want to accompany your lover at night, just at noon. My friend's Japanese restaurant, I believe you will like it.

He also said: Sorry, it may be presumptuous, we are all far away in a foreign country, we should be able to become friends.

I was a little surprised. I didn't know how to reply more properly, so I didn't reply at all, put my phone on the shoe cabinet, and changed my shoes. Ethan was talking to Sister Mori, laughing casually, his voice could be heard in the yard.

It's going to be a barbecue in the yard at night. The weather is already very cold. Sister Sen found a thick coat for Ethan to put on. He bowed his waist to look at the charcoal fire in the stove, his face was flushed by the reflection, and he turned to look at it again. I.

Ms. Zuo played a very old record, Ethan jumped up and hugged me, and I hugged him tightly. Now, we have come to the real autumn together.
