"Vera, as long as you understand that it's impossible with Mr. Reid, that's all I need to hear. I just don't want you to get stubborn again, where no one can talk sense into you." "Mom, I won't be like that anymore." "Look, Mr. Reid may be impressive. He buys you books and orchids, and there's no doubt he's making an effort. But your dad and I aren't naive.
"Even if he treats you well, what good is it if his family doesn't approve? If his parents look down on you, your life will be hard.
"And let's not forget, a man like him is always surrounded by many women who'd want him. Remember, a man's heart can change in the blink of an eye, and we can't afford to make the smistake again." "Okay." Vespera lowered her gaze and nodded. "I understand." "You've only been divorced for a short time, so there's no rush to find someone." "I'm not in a hurry."

So, she decided to park in the vacant space in front of the building across the street.
Just as she took a step forward, she heard someone call her name.
"Vespera!" She paused and turned around.
Benjamin was stepping out of the building, looking like he was on his way to work as well.
"Hey, Benjamin," she greeted him politely.

Besides, he was six years older than her. Back when he tutored her, he was already in college.
Hearing Vespera address him so formally, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. He chuckled. "From now on, just callBen." Vespera smiled politely.
