Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 14

In public, it was the first time that they had seen each other at such a short distance. She was a little nervous. How should she face Malcolm? 'should I pretend to be surprised or something?'? Would their plot be exposed later?

Sitting next to the chief editor, Malcolm looked calm. But his intimidating manner made people present dare not ignore him. When Poppii was about to move her eyes, she found that Malcolm seemed to look at her with some special meanings which made her forget to respond for a while.

Seeing Poppii, Hugh waved his hand quickly and said, "Miss. Poppi, nice to meet you again."

"Mr. Su." Poppi swallowed and politely turned her head to greet Hugh.

"Oh, please sit down." Teresa said, nudging Poppi.

"Chief editor, the employees in your company have such a great personal charisma. I was really impressed by Miss. Poppi yesterday." Hugh said to the chief editor of the magazine besides him, "last night Miss Poppi went home too late, but I didn't expect her to be late."

Poppi was stunned as she suddenly felt several people staring at her with a little funny and suspicion. She knew it would be bad. Malcolm sipped his tea, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Haha! that's great?" The chief editor was a slick old man. He looked at Poppi and said with a smile, "now that you are with Mr. Su and you are busy with your work yesterday. What's more, you are not too late for this morning, so I think Poppi deserves my praise!"

"Thank you, chief editor!" Poppi showed her gratitude and followed Teresa to her seat.

Several leaders of the magazine gathered together. In the face of Malcolm and Hugh, they flattered the two and praised the periodical office, saying that it was their honor to invite them. Poppi could not help but fall asleep again.

"Okay, that's it. You must do your job well to interview Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Su. We will leave now..."

Hearing the voice, Poppi suddenly opened her eyes wide and yawned secretly. Seeing that everybody was going to send the directors away, she also got up and followed them. Then Malcolm was clustered around and walked in the front, leaving only a familiar and strange back to Poppi.

They talked a few more words at the door and finally left. Poppi breathed a sigh of relief, but when Malcolm turned around and glanced at her, her heart was in her throat again.

"Miss. Poppi look so pale. Didn't you have a good rest last night?" Hugh broke the silence first and went to Poppi.

"Not bad." Poppi gave an awkward smile. When she heard the word "last night" in front of Malcolm, her ears were extremely red.

Poppi cleared her throat and asked, "why do you come to our company suddenly? Do you agree to accept the interview? "

"Sort of." With his hands in his pockets, Hugh gave a bright smile. Then he took a look at the right hand of Mr. Malcolm and said, "I just heard that your company has invited Mr. tMalcolmo be the cover man. What do you think, Mr. Malcolm? Let's ask for your opinion."

"Accept the interview if you want. I'm here today just to keep you company. What do you want to know from me? " Malcolm said calmly. His words shocked Poppi.

"What do you mean? Do you know Mr. Malcolm, Mr Su? " Poppi's face darkened as she swallowed the duck egg.

Teresa also had a confused look on her face. It was Tina. Her face was darkened with rage. All of the employees in the company thought Mr. Malcolm were invited by her. However, they didn't expect that he would refuse to the interview of Tina, who just company with Hugh this morning. So that they are great friends!

Hearing that, Hugh smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'm a good friend of Malcolm. What's wrong? Isn't it like?" Then he put his hand around Malcolm's neck as if they were good brothers.
