Chapter 1: Meeting Destiny
In autumn, Hanoi is immersed in a chilly climate. Gentle winds blow through each small street, carrying the gentle fragrance of milk flower rows and the pungent smell of fallen yellow leaves. On Nguyen Du Street, rows of old soapberry trees stand silently, each leaf gently falling, creating a layer of yellow carpet spread across the street.
In that romantic scene, a girl hurriedly ran across the street. Each hurried step, her high heels pounding on the brick pavement, creating hurried sounds. Her face showed obvious anxiety, her eyes constantly looking at the small watch on her wrist.
Ha Vy - 25 years old, a strong, independent and ambitious girl. Today she has an important interview, which can decide the future of her career. But strangely, the alarm clock - the sound that wakes her up every morning - did not ring, causing her to rush out of the house without having time to eat breakfast.
Hanoi streets are always bustling in the morning. Car horns honk incessantly, people rush to work, and roadside cafes begin to welcome customers. In her haste, Ha Vy did not notice that there was a puddle of rainwater left over from last night's rain in front of her.
Her foot touched it and she slipped.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down, everything seemed to stand still.
Just when she thought she was going to fall, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm, pulling her back. A warm breath passed by, and in that brief moment, she looked up, meeting a deep gaze.
A man.
He was tall, wearing a simple but sophisticated white shirt. His eyes were sharp but contained something unpredictable. His black hair was slightly tousled by the wind, adding to his worldly appearance.
"Are you okay?" A deep voice rang out, pulling Ha Vy back to reality.
She nodded awkwardly, trying to regain her balance, adjusting her clothes and hair, then stammered, "I...I...I'm fine. Thank you."
The young man still kept his gaze on her. He didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly and let go.
Ha Vy regained her composure, then continued running. But even though she had gone far, the eyes of that man still appeared in her mind. A strange gaze, as if it carried an untold story...
A chance encounter... or fate?
On the other side of the street, Minh Vu was still standing silently, watching the back of the girl who had just left.
He was not the type to pay attention to small things. But for some reason, that girl made him a little curious. Maybe it was because of her eyes - a pair of eyes that were both strong and a little vague.
Minh Vu is a 32-year-old man, the director of a large financial corporation. He is not only successful in his career but also has a special charm. However, he always keeps his distance from people, especially women. He does not believe in love, and even less in something called destiny.
But today, something in him changed.
For some reason, the image of that girl kept lingering in his mind.
Life is always full of surprises
Ha Vy's interview took place in a high-rise building located right in the city center. When she entered the meeting room, she did not expect that the main judge in the interview was the man she had just met this morning - Minh Vu.
Their eyes met.
She was stunned.
He smiled.
A seemingly fleeting encounter, but it turned out to be just the beginning of a long story...
