Leila looked at the man, whose gloomy eyes made her resist, so she subconsciously turned her head away to avoid the uncomfortable feeling. Yet the next second, her chin was pinched by him.
Max squinted dangerously, staring at the little woman, and being dissatisfied with her resistance. Then he lowered his head and kissed her.
Little by little, the clarity in Leila’s eyes disappeared, and at last it was gone.
It was a sleepless night.
The morning sunshine sprinkled to the bed openly, and a few strands of them fell between the eyebrows of Leila. Due to not drawing the curtain, Leila woke up very early in the morning. She muttered and opened her eyes slightly.
Her side was already empty. Looking at the time, Leila found it was only seven o'clock in the morning. She thought she woke up pretty early, but to her surprise, Max had already left.
It seemed that Max was always very busy with his work. Compared with him, Leila felt a little embarrassed for her own being free in the company.
Leila looked at the piles of breakfast on the table. She knew she must eat up each drop without the reminder of the maid. For such an inhuman method, she could not say anything against it, which sounded more inhuman and this fell into endless circles. Leila had no choice but to bite the sandwich hard. The male chauvinism of Max had reached such a certain level that she could only endure it.
After having breakfast, Leila felt she was like a pig kept in a dark circle, who was waiting for someone would kill her one day when she has fatten up. Her heart shivered with fear by this thought. Then she tidied up hurriedly and went out of the apartment. The driver had already been waiting for her outside the door for a long time. When he saw Leila, he smiled and said, "Miss Leila, you got up so early today."
Leila pressed her lips and didn't know what to say except for smiling. After getting on the car, Mr. Zhang drove smoothly so the car didn’t jolt them on the way to the company.
The black Maybach was so eye-catching that it attracted a lot of attention from the company staff. With eyes twinkling with a beam of light, Leila entered into the company.
Now that Johnson had laid down his guard, it was time to take actions. The earlier she carried out her plan, the earlier it would be completed, and the earlier she could leave him. Thinking of this, Leila paused, ignoring the strange feeling in her heart. She took out the company information he gave her, remembering that he had said that there was a Mr. Dong, who was left by her grandfather of the Song Group. Then today, she was going to meet this manager, Mr. Dong.
A hint of cunning flashed through Melissa’s clear and bright eyes. She sat in the office leisurely and knocked the table with her hands. The company's ranking table was displayed on the computer, and Mr. Dong was in charge of the technology department. It was said that there was a certain relationship between the technology department and the logistics department, so as the undersecretary of the logistics department, it was natural for her to look for the manager of the technology department. Such a relationship served as a good cover for Leila. After picking up her phone, Leila walked out of the office.
There was only a corridor between the logistics department and the technology department. They were not far from the end of the corridor. Leila song, wearing high heels, said nothing about the strange gaze from others and did not care about the small disturbance in the crowd. With a decent smile, she stood in front of the door of Mr. Dong with a document in her hand. And she gently knocked on the door and opened it.
Looking at the smiling lady in front of the door, Bernal was startled. It was said that Miss Leila was extremely difficult to get along with, so he had no idea what she came here for.
Leila looked at Bernal up and down. He was nearly forty years old. He looked upright, simple and honest, with a pair of glasses on his square face. He should be a refined man when he was young, and the layout of the office was not gorgeous, which made him look cool and refreshing. He was the only one left by his grandpa, but Leila was not clear about his working ability, or maybe she could throw away a brick in order to get a gem.
Leila and Bernal were observing each other. Just like what they said, Leila was very beautiful. She was not inferior to others even in this era of advanced plastic technology. However, Bernal cared much about her identity and he was a worker left by her grandfather. He had been working very hard over the years. He believed that the Song Group was not as good as it used to be. He felt sorry for it but he could do nothing. He wanted to know whether it was a coincidence that Leila appeared or she had a plan, which need him to sound out her intention.
Both of them were lost in thought. No one was willing to say a word first. There was a silence of awkwardness in the air. After a long time, Leila closed the door of the office. Her move made Mr. Dong's heart beat fast. It seemed that Miss Leila had something to talk to him. He cleared his throat and asked, "Miss Leila, why are you here today?"
Leila was amused by the way he spoke. She walked to him slowly and tried to be polite. She put the documents in her hand on his desk and said in an indifferent tone, "Mr. Dong, the staff of your technical department seemed to be a little sluggish. The work in logistics department has hardly been done. Here is the data. Please have a look."
After hearing what she said, Bernal took over the document. His face changed as he looked down. He was indeed slack in the past month. He didn't expect that this would let his subordinates become neglectful of duty. Just as she said, the work from the technical department was directly transferred to the logistics department without any adjustment. A hint of anger appeared on his simple face. He said in a deep voice, "Miss Leila, thank you for your reminder. I will take care of it seriously and give you a reasonable explanation. "
Leila's brick had been thrown out, but no gem was taken back from Bernal. Her eyes flashed, and she directly went to the point. "Mr. Dong is left by my grandpa, right?"
