Chapter 3663
“It’s almost New Year’s, and the elders kept calling us to come home, so we finally did,” Rosie explained. She then added, “Elora, you just returned from a business trip and didn’t even take a moment to rest before diving back into work? You’re working too hard. You have plenty of sisters who can assist you—don’t try to do everything alone. You’re going to wear yourself out.”
Rosie felt concern for her best friend. Ever since Elora took over her family’s business, they barely saw each other because Elora was always busy. They mostly kept in touch through their phones to maintain their friendship. Fortunately, they had been friends since elementary school, with a bond that had lasted over ten years. Despite Elora’s hectic schedule, their friendship remained strong.
The Ormond, Fowler, and Rosie’s in-law families all had business ties and frequently collaborated. As the head of the Ormond family, Elora was someone both Rosie’s family and her in-laws sought to maintain good relations with, ensuring their friendship never faded.
However, Rosie genuinely cared for Elora. She worried about her lack of friends, fearing that without her, Elora might have no one to confide in other than her sisters. Rosie also admired Elora’s capacity to manage the extensive Ormond business, making it more successful than it was during her grandfather’s time. Under her leadership, the Ormond family remained a prominent player in Annenburg’s business landscape.
Rosie couldn’t help but compare herself to Elora. They received the same education, yet Elora was managing a huge business while Rosie was busy pampering her husband, traveling, and shopping. Her husband didn’t even think she spent enough! Rosie had begun contemplating using her allowance to…

Invest in small businesses and learn to generate income rather than simply spend it.

“They’re occupied with their own matters. I appreciate the souvenirs you brought me, though,” Elora said with a smile. “Once things calm down and the company goes on break, I’ll take you out to dinner.”

“By the time you’re on break, it’ll probably be New Year’s Eve!” Rosie chuckled. “But sure, let’s get together when you’re free. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the high school reunion. Are you planning to attend? It’s on New Year’s Eve, so everyone should be off work by then.”

“You never attend the reunions, and people always ask about you—especially our class monitor from sophomore and junior year. He’s single and I think he still has feelings for you.”

Elora had never been in a relationship, but that didn’t mean no one was interested in her. Since junior high, countless boys had admired her, from her own class, other classes, and even older students, but none could penetrate her calm and reserved demeanor.

However, the class monitor had always harbored strong feelings for her. Even though they attended different universities after high school, he still hadn’t moved on. It had been almost ten years.

“Elora, you’re always busy with work and social events, but you never make time for love. You’re almost 27, and you’ve never been in a relationship. I’m concerned about you. Why not come to the reunion and give our class monitor a chance? We’re all old friends, and he’s doing well. He started his own business and now oversees two companies and three factories with a workforce of three to four thousand people. He’s a successful young man.”
