The next day, the sky was clear and crisp, but there was a strange atmosphere permeating Credible and the headquarters.
I don’t know if it was because of the fuss yesterday, but when Lu Man and Dong Jin met again, there was always a bit more awkwardness. Compared to the past, they were more unscrupulous and uncomfortable. The two of them also spoke politely.
, with alienation and estrangement, like two strangers who have just met.
Dong Jin looked at Lu Man's cautious and formulaic expression, his eyes were dim, but he didn't say much, he just responded to her words lightly, said that he was clear about the schedule, and then immersed himself in his work again.
Does she have to be so alienated? Is it because of what happened yesterday that she feels hurt? Is she timid?
After Lu Man finished his report, he pursed his lips and looked at his black hair and hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't say anything and walked out.
As soon as the office door closed, Dong Jin raised his head, looked at the closed door and sighed.
Or should she wait for her to figure it out? Anyway, he is about to fly to the United States for negotiation. He won't be able to meet him for a few days. How many days will she let him go?
But, why is this feeling so unpleasant?
Dong Jin irritably took the cup and took a big gulp of cold water, loosened his tie, leaned on the executive chair, closed his eyes and rested.
Lu Man just walked out of Dong Jin's office and saw her number one enemies Mary and Joe whispering. Seeing her come out, she immediately fell silent and just looked at her with disdain and contempt.
Thinking with her toes, Lu Man also knew what they were talking about. They were just saying that she wanted to climb a high tree.
Lu Man was a little helpless. She had unintentionally become the center of gossip. Who had she provoked?
He picked up his cup from the table and walked to the tea room. Ou Xiaolai was sitting there. When he saw her, he was slightly startled, but he instantly regained his composure.
After working as a colleague for more than half a month, Lu Man got used to her indifference. She took out the coffee powder in front of the coffee machine and pressed it. Soon, a cup of black coffee was held in her hand, and the aroma was overflowing.
"Is everything okay?" Ou Xiaolai also held a cup of black coffee and looked at her sideways.
Lu Man smiled bitterly, leaned on the table, held the cup and said, "Do you also think I deserve to be in trouble?"
"Do you think I'm having an affair with the general manager?"
Ou Xiaolai was putting the coffee cup to his lips. Hearing this, the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He took a sip of coffee and said, "You don't have one."
"Huh?" Lu Man turned around and looked at her
"I said you didn't." Ou Xiaolai glanced at her lightly, then looked at the light and shadow of the coffee, and said quietly: "It's just the general manager."
She didn't know if Lu Man was being slow or if she knew it but avoided it. Anyway, she couldn't see the word affection in Lu Man's eyes, even though the two of them were familiar with each other.
"Thank you" Lu Man smiled sincerely
Ou Xiaolai hummed and stopped talking. He just drank coffee quietly.
Lu Man didn't say anything, and sipped the coffee lightly, feeling the bitter taste of the black coffee. The bitterness entered the throat, but it tasted much better than usual. Is it because of his mood?
"Telephone"
While he was in trance, Ou Xiaolai's cold voice sounded in his ears again.
Lu Man was a little startled. When he saw her pointing to his pocket, he felt his phone vibrating. He couldn't help but let out an ooh, took it out and pressed the answer button.
"Hello"
"Lu Man"
Hearing the evil and cold voice, Lu Man was startled, his hand shook, and the cup in his hand immediately fell, with a bang, and the pieces flew everywhere.
Ou Xiaocai looked into his eyes and frowned slightly. Looking at Lu Man's face again, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"How did you know my number?" Lu Man asked in a trembling voice.
After so many days, I thought he had given up on that idea. Now, why is he calling? What does he want to do?
eh eh
Her heart tightened, and she immediately stood up straight and asked nervously: "Where are you? What do you want to do?"
There was a low laughter on the phone, but it was so harsh in Lu Man's ears that the knuckles that were holding the phone turned white.
"I think we need to talk, come down," Jin Chengjun said lazily.
"I have nothing to talk to you about"
"If you don't come down, maybe I can go up and write to you, the same thing." Jin Chengjun looked up at the tall building in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.
Lu Man noticed Ou Xiaolai's probing gaze from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but said nervously: "No, I'd better go down, where are you?"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Man took a few deep breaths and then said to Ou Xiaolai: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Can you help me clean it up?" She pointed to the debris on the ground.
Seeing Ou Xiaolai nodding, she added: "I'm going out for a while. If the general manager asks, just say I'm not feeling well and go buy some medicine."
Ou Xiaolai's eyes flashed, he pursed his lips, and nodded.
Lu Man hurriedly walked out, his pretty face as dark as ice.
What does he want to talk about, and how should she respond if he asks to return the favor?
When Lu Man thought of Jin Chengjun's cruel methods, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. The coldness rushed straight to his limbs and bones, and penetrated people's bones.
After getting off the building, Lu Man saw an iron-black Cadillac parked at the entrance of the company. Its domineering appearance, just like that man, was flamboyant and eye-catching, but also intimidating.
Lu Man swallowed his saliva, and his steps suddenly became a little hesitant, as if if this passed, he would fall into an endless abyss and never climb out.
Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of. Enen was born and raised through hard work during your ten-month pregnancy. Mother and child are connected, and no one can separate you.
Lu Man couldn't help but cheer up in his heart, bit his lower lip, and strode towards the car.
Jin Chengjun could see clearly from inside the car. The unpredictable expression on Lu Man's face seemed ridiculous to him. He could even see what she was thinking. She was simply emphasizing that her son was not his, but hers alone.
That's all
just stupid
He gave her a few days to breathe and thought everything would be fine? He was just teasing her.
It is unacceptable to see a trapped animal running around in fear in a cage, but unable to find a way out. He thought that the bad luck that had befallen him had passed, but when he was relaxing, he was hit hard again.
In five years, she has changed, but he has not changed. He is still the cold and cruel hunter, and she is still his favorite prey.
Lu Man, I'm really looking forward to your next performance. Don't let me down.
Yan said: Four chapters later, I drove out, decisively turned off the phone and fell asleep, I couldn’t stay up all night, wailing~
