Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 77

Before Malcolm could say anything more, he turned around, and saw them two seemed in love. His face darkened as he swallowed hard. They hadn't seen each other for only a few days, and she seemed to live a quite good life? 'Why don't you go to see Hugh, but go to see Benson?' He thought it in his mind. It was said that they meet each other next time would be strangers. He couldn't believe a woman's words…

Poppi was eating the crab leg. When she blinked her eyes, she saw Malcolm walking towards her. She was so scared that she threw up the crab leg, turned around and was about to run. No, she couldn't. Her mind was in a mess. She wasn't ready yet…

"What's wrong?" Seeing what Poppi did, Benson thought that she had eaten something unclean. So he quickly supported her with his hands, held her back and asked with concern, "is it not delicious?"

Poppi quickly shook her head. But after thinking for a while, she nodded her head, which made him more confused and worried.

But before Malcolm could take any step forward, Malcolm had already approached him. When he saw the place where Benson's right hand was put, he just saw the bare back of Poppi. His eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he rushed forward and said coldly, "Mr. Ji, Miss. Poppi."

Poppi was shocked.

Mr. Ji turned around and took a look at Mr. Malcolm. Then he put his hand down from Poppi and greeted him in a way neither servile nor overbearing, "Hello, Mr. Malcolm."

Malcolm nodded slightly and looked at her, "Miss. Poppi, you are so beautiful today."

"……" Hearing that, Poppi's mouth twitched. She knew that what Malcolm said didn't mean that he was praising her, but she could only turn around and smile politely, without looking into his eyes. "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Malcolm."

Malcolm looked at Poppi up and down and found that her dress was not loosed at all and the hemline just covered the scars on her unhealed leg. Her slender ankle was exposed. The black curly hair spread over her shoulder. She was gentle and beautiful.

"Did you see her? It's her, Poppi. " On the other side of the hall, Tina was standing with Catherine. She pointed at Poppi with her chin and said, "she interviewed Mr. Malcolm."

Catherine looked at Poppi up and down, and said proudly, "but she nothing more than this.

"But she seems to know Mr. Malcolm." "Do you still remember the car accident that happened on JingLan Avenue? Didn't you say you saw Mr. Malcolm at the scene? "

Catherine nodded her head and replied, "yes, I did. But my father looked like Malcolm and the photo was blurry. He even didn't finish the report. I'm not sure it."

Tina squinted. "But… The driver of the pink car was Poppi. She asked for a leave the other day and all the staff in her office went to the hospital to visit her. If the man in the pictures is Mr. Malcolm... "

Catherine took a deep look at Poppi and then looked Mr. Malcolm again. Thinking of this, Malcolm seemed to have nothing important to do and went straight to Poppi, which was really suspicious…

"What's more, She had interviewed Hugh at first. I heard that she even sent Mr. Su a valuable stamp which fascinates him very much." Tina said, gnashing her teeth, "since Mr. Ji took up our chief editor, he was so obedient to her… She is really a foxtrel! "

"Really?" At the thought of this, Catherine couldn't help but be vigilant of Poppi and asked, "is this woman called Poppi really so powerful?"

Catherine, what am I lying to you about?" Tina grabbed her arm and said in a fake friendly tone, "Catherine, don't be fooled by this kind of woman."

"Just by her?" Catherine snorted and stared at the other side of Poppi. Although she spoke with disdain, her body was very honest. "Tina, I have to go now. After the opening dance, I'll go to see Malcolm first."

"I'll go with you." Tina glanced at Benson.

On the other side, Benson and Malcolm were chatting casually. It was not easy for Poppi to leave because of what Benson had told Malcolm when he introduced her as "this is a great talent from our magazine." she could only wait with a dry smile.

After a while, the slow and melodious sound of violin suddenly sounded in the hall. The people close to the hall smiled in unison, and walked towards the center of the hall hand in hand, dancing with the music.

When Edwin saw this, he was about to extend his hand to invite Celine, but then he saw ivy and Maggie rushing over.

Catherine held Malcolm's arm familiarly, as if declaring her sovereignty. "Malcolm, let's have a dance?"

"Okay." Malcolm took back his eyes from Poppi and nodded. After that, he took Catherine by the hand and walked towards the dancing floor.

"Poppi, would you like to dance with me?" Suddenly, Benson reached out his hand in a gentlemanly manner.

Poppi slightly opened her mouth and shook her head, "Mr. Ji, my leg hurts… I'm afraid I can't dance with you, so please... "

"Mr. Ji, will you join me?" Tina said timely.

"I'll send Poppi back to the second floor. Tina, find another partner please! It will be nice to have more clients. " Benson gave a warm smile to Tina. Then he held Poppi and said, "let's go!"

"No, I'll go by myself." Poppi refused him indifferently without any hesitation. Putting on her dress, she leaned against the wall and walked towards the elevator.

Benson followed her and sighed. He stood still and watched her leave.

Tina quickened her pace and questioned, "Mr. Ji, why are you so obsessed with Poppi? She was so rude to you, she... "

"Tina, it was my own choice. I did it all on my own," He turned around and sighed, "I appreciate your good performance at work, but that's only compliment in the work. It's my private matter that I treat anyone nicely. You don't have to defend me or say anything to defend me. I deserve it. Could you please leave me alone? "

"I..." Her chest heaved with each word, her face as red as blood.
