Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 31

"Don't worry about it, okay? I'm serious. Mr. Johnny, why my name still stayed in the list? I had refused to participate in this activity and the vice general editor-in-chief also agreed to re-confirm the list. Am I right? Can you explain it to me? Or, I'll call the vice general editor-in-chief right now and ask him what has happened."

Seeing that Elsa was determined, Johnny sighed and said, "I haven't reported it to the vice general editor-in-chief that you had come to me to decline the invitation of this activity. When he asked me, I even told him that you cherish this opportunity. Elsa, I know you want to come, don't you?"

Elsa was filled with rage. "Who do you think you are to make the decision for me? Johnny Meng, what's wrong with you? You just ignored my request and decision. You ignored your subordinate's feelings and the rules of the newspaper! I request to quit the activity now. I'll go back immediately!"

"Elsa, have you provided me with a written request? It's too late to change another one now. You can go back right away and tell them that I want you to stay with me regardless of the task. Maybe they will believe you." Johnny said confidently.

"You!" Elsa didn't expect that he was such a despicable man. At that time, she did not want to stay with him anymore. She did not have any written application, but just gave a verbal request to him. She had never expected that he would become such a person, who would do anything to achieve his goal. He knew that she could only swallow the grievance.

Clenching her fists, Elsa said, "Johnny Meng, what you have done will only make me look down upon you!"

A hint of pain and regret flashed in Johnny's eyes, but he didn't change his mind. He just said, "Elsa, try your best to finish this work. This is a good opportunity for both of us!"

Gritting her teeth in anger, Elsa was silent for a long time before she could say, "Mr. Johnny, I apply for an afternoon leave to go back to the city!"

A smile of triumph appeared on Johnny's face. He knew that Elsa hadn't brought anything with her, even her computer, so she couldn't write anything. "Your application is approved." He said.

"I'll submit the written application for it later!" Not wanting to be trapped by him again, Elsa closed the door and turned around to look for a pen and a piece of paper.

Johnny was left outside the door, with a contented smile on his face.

Elsa found a pen and paper and was about to write the application, then she got the text message from Soren, with some simple words, "Okay, I see."

After reading his text, Elsa held the phone tightly in her hand, full of mixed feelings. In the past, once she thought of Johnny, she would even feel painful when she breathed. Now he was standing outside, but she was calm.
