Staring at her, Jamie Shen said slowly and seriously: "How dare you curse me?"
Marylin Ye kept shaking her head, "I didn't, you misunderstood." She wiped her tears and reached out to grab his hand holding her gray hair, "Give me back."
Jamie did not want to return it, and said mischievously, "What I pulled out is mine." Then, he threw away the gray hair and said with a smile: "From now on, every time you grow a gray hair, I will pull that out for you."
Jamie recovered seriousness after joking: "Don't tie your hair, I don't like it, it makes you look like an adult."
Marylin was busy tidying up her clothes and responded: "This is the company's regulation. I must tie my hair."
Jamie had nothing to say. He stood there and watched her tidy up her skirt with great interest.
When he saw her white shirt tucked under the skirt, revealing the graceful figure curve, he felt inexplicably hot, his throat knot subconsciously moved.
Jamie deliberately turned his head to the other side. He took a deep breath until she walked away from the closed exclusive elevator. However, he found that her smell was still around him.
……
Marylin returned to the office of the engineering department and took her seat.
Xiaoran Shi came to her and asked her, "Hey, Marylin, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you."
Marylin responded a little guiltily, "I, I just had a stomachache, so I went to the bathroom immediately after coming out of the elevator."
Fortunately, Xiaoran believed her words and did not continue to ask. Marylin was relieved.
She had a busy and substantial morning. After lunch and a short rest, soon it was time for work in the afternoon.
The leader of the engineering department came back from Jamie's office with the newly revised design plan and went straight to Marylin's desk. The leader knocked on her desk hard, and asked, "Where's Mr. Shen?"
Marylin was puzzled why the leader came to her to look for Mr. Shen, still, she responded honestly: "I don't know, sir."
The leader looked in disbelief, and his meaningful eyes lingered on Marylin's face, "You don't know? Didn't you stay with Mr. Shen last night? "
Immediately, all the employees of the engineering department glanced at her, and their eyes with curiosity and inspection.
Marylin was about to explain.
Xiaoran stood out, for Marylin -- "Leader, Marylin does have a boyfriend. Don't say that she was with Mr. Shen in the evening. If her boyfriend hears this, it will ruin her!"
When the leader heard this, he was puzzled. He was wondering: Why did Mr. Shen suddenly summon her to the golf club last time if they were in a normal relationship?
Xiaoran said, "You know that for sure. There are a lot of women who would rush to a man like Mr. Shen. Marylin is an honest girl. How can she have that kind of seducing ability!"
Seeing Xiaoran's defend her, Marylin felt so grateful. She looked up to her with a friendly smile. Her heart was filled with warmth.
