Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 15

Poppi couldn't believe what she had heard. It never occurred to her that Barry was Malcolm's friend. And she started to worry about her safety.

Tina and Teresa were more surprised. They couldn't even speak.

"Did I say something wrong?" Hugh was a little confused.

"No, you didn't." Malcolm put his hands back in his pockets and ignored them. "Hurry up if you want to talk about the interview. I have something to deal with later, so I will not have time to give you a ride by then."

Hugh pursed his lips and looked at Poppi. "Miss Poppi, it seems that we can't have lunch together today."

"It's okay. It's okay." Poppi waved her hand and said, "Mr. Hugh, please go ahead with your work." Although Poppi pretended to be polite on the surface, she was relieved in her heart. It would be a disaster for her if she had dinner with the three of them. She was happy that she didn't have to go there.

"Then it's settled for the interview." For fear that Poppi might go back on her word, Hugh actively offered, "I'm free these days. Miss Poppi, when can we discuss the details of the interview together?"

Poppi glanced at Teresa and smiled. "It depends on you, Mr. Hugh. Now that you are free, how about we making the arrangements now?"

"Okay, no problem! Where should we go and talk about it?"

"How about going to the meeting room?" After putting forward her suggestion, Poppi glanced at Teresa and the latter nodded her head.

"This way, please." Teresa gestured towards the door. Hugh looked at Malcolm and said, "Please come with us. We can leave after the discussion."

Malcolm made no reply. As he was about to take a step forwards, Tina stopped him and said, "Mr. Malcolm, can I have a talk with you?"

Poppi didn't turn back. Malcolm answered coldly, "Okay."

Hugh said with a shrug, "Then we will go to the meeting room first. I will call you later. Don't wander away." After that, he looked at Poppi and said, "Miss Poppi, let's go."

Poppi nodded her head and went to the meeting room with Teresa and Hugh.

Putting his hands in his pockets, Malcolm watched the three of them take the turn. He then looked away indifferently and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Malcolm, I called your assistant last time and asked him about your interview. Do you agree?" Tina asked with a hopeful expression as she stared at him.

"Hugh has already agreed, hasn't he?" Malcolm cast a glance at Tina.

"But your own opinion shouldn't be affect by others," Tina replied. "As the saying goes, the more the better. I would be honored if you are agreed."

After a long silence, Malcolm was about to refuse her, but he saw Poppi coming back in a hurry.

"Catherine is my good friend," Tina continued as she perceived the slightest change on Malcolm's face. "And she also wants..."

"Since you are Miss Catherine's friend, of course I should do you a favor." Malcolm slightly replied as he stared at Poppi.

"Do you mean that you have agreed to the interview?" Tina asked with excitement.

"Yes," Malcolm answered in a neither light nor heavy tone.
