Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 28

Strictly speaking, Johnny was a handsome and well-dressed man. He was a golden bachelor. As soon as he entered the newspaper, he had attracted a lot of attention.

"Luckily, it's still early. We'll have enough time," Todd said, glancing at his watch, without sensing the strange atmosphere.

"Are you okay, Elsa?" Johnny asked with concern.

"Are you that weak, Elsa?" Cindy continued, "It's a pity that you didn't make it to fell in the arms of the chief editor."

Elsa rolled her eyes at her, wondering what she was thinking in her mind. Was it interesting to speak against her all the time?

After receiving the glare from Elsa, Cindy took a glance at her. She saw that Elsa wore a suitable dress of different colors from the one of the other day, and the handbag in her hand was the latest summer collection of Gucci, which seemed to be authentic. She said in surprise, "Hey, Elsa, why are you wearing a dress? How are you going to do the interview?"

Out of the professional habit and convenience, journalists usually didn't wear such a long dress. It was her first day to work today, so Elsa didn't think that she would have to work outside. That was why she chose this dress. She didn't imagine that she would be trapped by Johnny and had to go to the army base right now! Looking at the deep cleavage caused by tight clothes of Cindy, Elsa pointed at her own head and smiled, "I only use this to do the interview, not the clothes. It has nothing to do with whether I wear a long dress or not."

"You!" Apparently, Cindy was annoyed by the satire.

After fastened her seat belt, Elsa closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. In her mind, she really looked down upon Cindy. Every time it was Cindy who started the trouble, Elsa would respond her from time to time. How could Cindy always looked so aggrieved as if Elsa had taken advantage of her? Cindy was the kind of person who liked to pick fault with others but couldn't stand their fight back. Sometimes, it was so boring to be angry with her.

'Am I really going to be with Johnny for so long?' Elsa wondered. In the eyes of others, this was a great chance to have a good rest. But taking in mind Johnny and Cindy, it was more challenging than relaxing for Elsa.

She sighed deeply in her heart.

As Elsa didn't plan to come, she didn't bring any clothes or other necessities. Besides, she didn't bring her computer. Not to mention the information of which army base they were going to, and the specific interview they would have to do. Elsa estimated the time and it took about one and a half hour from the newspaper to the army base. She knew that she could always go back secretly and pack some clothes. Now she had to accept it.

"I'll send these requirements in the form of e-mail. Please check it later." Casting a glance at Elsa's dress, Johnny said, "We may follow the army to train with them in the next few days. Everybody needs to pay attention to your clothes. Dresses are not permitted."

Elsa looked at herself with discontent. Was she dressed like this on purpose?

The young sergeant saw that they had finished talking, and led them to walk around and told them many notes to pay attention to. He uttered the order in a very serious tone. Then, Cindy asked with a smile, "Sir, do you have a girlfriend?"

To her surprise, that sergeant suddenly blushed. He held his breath and his face kept red for a long time before saying, "Ma'am, not yet!"

"What kind of girl are you looking for?" Cindy was just this kind of person. So, Johnny had to let her be. Along the way, Cindy was so amused by the sergeant and made him stammered. Every time Cindy giggled, the sergeant would be too embarrassed to look at her. He just stared straight ahead and strode forward.
