When passersby walked by, they all looked at the couple and admired them. They said to themselves, "They've really hit it off. What a perfect match!"
"Sweetie, I got it. See you at lunchtime," Holley said, smiling but with anger in her eyes. Glancing at the man beside her, she realized him to be so good at pretending. He was so experienced that everything he did looked extremely natural.
Suddenly, Jason pulled Holley into his arms, bent down, placed his mouth near her ear, and whispered threateningly, "Holley, dear, let me remind you to cooperate me with me. If you blow it off and displease the boss, I won't take any blame for you!"
"Jason, dear, we're in the same boat. Do you really think Ferry treats you better because you're his man? He is just using you. Otherwise, he won't even allow you to show your face in public! Don't forget that you've offended the Hu family. When the time comes for Ferry to kick you out of the group, do you think the Hu family will just let go of you?" Then, an idea hit her. Inspired by her own last words to Jason, Holley thought it would be a good plan to create a wedge between Jason and Ferry's relationship. It would be nice to annoy Ferry for at least a while.
"Holley, dear, I'm not a three-year-old boy. Don't be so naive to think that you can turn me against him," Jason answered coldly. Then, he ran his fingers through her hair and pulled it a little bit harder.
The act pained her, and she couldn't help but frown.
"Be smart for once, and stop trying to play tricks on me. It definitely won't be good for you!" Jason beamed at her gently. He turned into a totally different person, again.
Holley was stunned once more by his superb acting skills.
Still deep in thought, Holley stared at Jason and remained silent. Jason took the opportunity to plant a kiss on her forehead. Then he said, "Holley, dear, it's time for you to go to work. Your employees are waiting for you. Don't be late."
And there she went, off to her work. Jason followed her with his eyes. He only drove away when Holley disappeared from his sight.
Inside the company, the employees eagerly surrounded Holley.
Admiration was reflected in their eyes. Someone pulled Holley's arm, and then asked quietly, "Miss Ye, aren't you Mr. Hu's girlfriend? Have you two broken up?"
"Miss Ye, who is he? He is so handsome!"
"He is so good to you. You're so lucky! Is he richer than Mr. Hu?"
"So, Miss Ye, since you've broken up with Mr. Hu, does it mean that we have a chance to become his girlfriend?" An employee smiled and teased Holley.
Deep inside, they already judged Holley for her betrayal. Yet, they all pretended to be happy for her.
What Holley felt at that moment was compared to being surrounded by reporters. Disgusted, she pulled her eyebrows together and said, "Do you still remember that I'm your manager? Don't you need to go back to work?"
Holley kept a straight face while reminding the employees. People around her suddenly felt awkward. They immediately returned to their work areas. However, one of the employees touched her hair to break the embarrassing atmosphere. "Miss Ye, it's because we all care for you."
"Oh, really? So I need to thank you for your gossiping, right?" Holley looked at her and retorted sarcastically. She suddenly looked unfriendly.
The employee stopped. After all, Holley was their boss. Despite telling herself that Holley was a bitch, she dared not say anything out loud or go against her.
