Rain's face changed on hearing Aaron's words. He might be right. Who would wait for someone forever? It was expected for Annie to fall in love with someone else. As the saying goes, 'Time will tell'.
"She can love whoever she wants. It's her own choice, isn't it?" Rain pretended that he didn't care, but it was painful for him.
"Hey, there they are." Aaron stopped talking as he saw employees of C Financial Group approaching them. He felt strange to discover that Annie was missing. 'Has she really met someone and decided to dump Rain?' Aaron couldn't help but wonder.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Aaron Qiao, special assistant to the CEO of FX International Group. Welcome to S City." Observing Rain was distracted, Aaron stepped up and introduced himself. His boss was wise to anticipate this, that's probably why he had asked Aaron to accompany Rain.
