Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 45

Tina nodded with satisfaction and began to assign tasks to everyone. After the everyone in the advertising department was assigned, she continued, "the interview is a mutual task of the advertising department and the editing department, so Poppi, you also have a heavy task."

"Okay." Poppi agreed, but she was thinking about which task hadn't been arranged. "What task?" she asked

Tina pretended to be surprised and said, "the people in our advertising department are very hard to interview. At that time, please take more care of us, such as bringing us a cup of water, taking things and so on. We will be grateful to you."

Hearing the slight gasp in the meeting room, Poppi was in a rage in her heart but still kept a decent smile on her face and said, "well, it's my honor to serve you."

Wearing a fake smile, Tina clicked on the screen. The expression on her face kept flickering. "Let's see the specific questions about Mr. Malcolm."

The interview draft was prepared by Tina personally. After scanning it, everyone in the advertising department had no objection. Poppi had seen the interview too, so she was speechless about some non-level questions. Thinking of Mr. Malcolm's temper, she was deeply worried about Tina.

"I have a question," Poppi couldn't help but raise her hand.

"Really? Please go ahead. " Tina smiled. "What's the problem?"

"Can I get rid of the last five questions? It read, "Mr. Malcolm, why are you called Mr. Malcolm, rather than Mr. Quan?". I really think it's necessary to ask him this question. "

Frowning, she replied, "I do want to know the answer."

"You know that, but it doesn't mean that others are willing to talk about it." Poppi frowned. He didn't want to have this family name. If it wasn't for his grandmother and father, he would rather not have this last name. She said this question is for Tina!

Seeing the serious expression on Poppi's face, Tina was not shocked, instead, she got angry and asked, "what do you mean?! Do you think my questions are not professional? Or do you think you know someone better than me? "

Poppi was shocked. Instead of being scared by Tina, she was struck by her last sentence. Did she unfasten her right? Probably, she knew him well! He had a long face all day long. He had an obsessive for cleanliness during dinner. He didn't like to be talkative, to be low-key, to be quiet. But being trodden on the tail made him like an angry lion This is Malcolm. But with her character, it was hard for him to guess what he was thinking.

"Got it." Poppi stood still and said in a low voice which was not as imposing as before. Actually, Malcolm didn't care about the question!

Tina looked at Poppi coldly and banged the folder on the conference table, saying, "go on with the meeting!"

Throughout the meeting, Tina completely treated Poppi as an invisible person. After the three-hour meeting, Poppi was relieved.

Malcolm was on a business trip. It was Poppi who went home after work and got the news after she received his message.

Staring at the message, Poppi was surprised. After all, Malcolm used to be on a business trip and never report to her. What surprised her most was that as usual, Malcolm would send someone to take away all his things after her grandmother left. But this action lasted so long. What went wrong?

However, there were so many things that were beyond her understanding in the world. However, Poppi still lived her life, so there was no reason for her to think about it anymore. She went to work and got off work as usual.

It wasn't easy to get off work that day, so she made an appointment with Shirley to go to a car A4 shop and intended to change the car. She really didn't like to take bus and subway everyday.

At this moment, her phone rang

When Poppi was about to go out, her mobile phone suddenly rang. With doubts, she slid the screen and picked it up, "hello? Who's that please? "

"Poppi..."

Poppi held her breath, her pupils contracted all of a sudden, and her eyes were blank. Poppi only stood there for one second. When he was about to say something, Poppi had already taken the phone away from her ear in a hurry and hung up the phone with her trembling hand.

"What's wrong with you, Poppi?" Wendy came over and saw that Poppi was holding her cell phone tightly and her face was pale. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "are you all right, Poppi?"

"Nothing." Poppi came back to earth and shook her head. She forced a smile and said, "I'm off duty. Let's go."

"…… Okay. " Wendy nodded and said no more.

After walking out of the company and saying goodbye to Wendy, Poppi stood by the road to wait for Shirley. She looked forward and then looked across the street. The scene when she met Benson at noon suddenly came into her mind. She felt her heart was even more urgent.

It wasn't an illusion and he had come back.

Beep!

"What's the matter with you, Poppi! What are you thinking about? " "Bang!", Shirley opened the door and walked to the side of Poppi, "the horn is almost broken. Didn't you hear that?"

Poppi came back to earth and even did not know how long she had been standing for. She laughed and said, "I was just kidding with you! I've heard it for a long time! " After that, she looked at the car parked by the roadside and saw a flamboyant red sports car. "Whose car is it? Your? "

"I'm not that rich! This is our boss's car of limited edition. I've just bought it from abroad. With your help, I'd like to have a ride here. " Then she took Poppi's hand and walked to the car.

Poppi did not respond for a while. When she sat in the car and looked at the front seat, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "Mr. Su, it's you!"

The tone and expression of Poppi were a little unfamiliar, and Hugh was a little unhappy, but remained calm on the face. "Yes, it's me. I just finished taking photos with Shirley. I heard that you were going to buy a car, so let's go together. I know a little about cars."

Shirley kept poking Poppi's waist to stop her. However, Poppi stood still and said to Hugh, "it's so troublesome, Mr. Su. Your interview has helped me a lot. It's really troublesome to buy a car with me after work."

Of course, Hugh didn't buy it. He started the engine and said, "if you find it troublesome, you can treat me to dinner tonight."

"Okay!"

Before Poppi said anything, Shirley could not wait to say yes for her, "anyway, we're friends! Am I right, Poppi? "

Poppi nodded her head and smiled without saying anything more. She was so upset that she had no mood to think about other things. Moreover, it was good to have dinner with several people. When she was alone, she thought of what happened four years ago.

On the way to the car store, Shirley kept talking while Hugh and Poppi talked to each other. It took her a long time to get to the 4S store. When she got out of the car, she totally forgot what she said just now.

When Hugh was parking the car, Shirley stopped Poppi and asked, "what's wrong with you? You looked like a half dead person all the way in the car! Your eyes are empty and looks lazy. You don't have to be like this, do you! Aren't you very easygoing? Benson has just come back. If you meet him... "

"I saw him," Poppi interrupted Shirley. She pursed her lips and didn't know what to say next.

"You..." With her eyes widened, Shirley suddenly caught hold of Poppi's sleeve and asked, "have you met him before? When? "

"We just met at noon. I didn't expect him to walk across the street. I gave him a quick look and then left." Poppi's voice was a little weak.

Looking at Poppi, Shirley said angrily, "why don't you tell me! I'll take my men to beat him. He has been hiding for four years. I can't hold it anymore! "

"What are you talking about? Are you not going in? " Hugh walked over and glanced at them.

"Let's get in." Poppi smiled and hid all her sadness and disappointment. This was also the kind of ability that she had been trained since she entered the company. No matter how many difficulties she had to bear in her heart, she could still smile happily. Because no one cared about what she felt in her heart. Even if she was too painful to breathe, no one cared She had been lonely for a long time and she had learned to wear a mask to show off her perfect smile.

Shirley wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Finally, she shook her head and followed Poppi to the 4S Stores.

"Welcome to our company. Are you Miss. Poppi?" A male sales man came up to her as soon as she entered the shop.

"Yes, I am," "Yes," Poppi nodded and answered

"Yes, yes. I remember Miss Poppi's phone number." The waiter respectfully bent over to welcome her in. With one of his hands in his pocket, Hugh followed behind with Shirley.

"Does Miss. Poppi have a limo of your like?" The sales girl asked while she walked around in the hall.

With her eyes full of cars, Poppi shook her head and said, "I just need to find a car accident. It's suitable for girls. The car I used to drive is too old to be repaired. You may not know, I have a desire to buy a new one. "

Hearing this, Hugh couldn't help but burst into laughter. Shirley rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "don't you feel ashamed, Poppi?"

Poppi took a look at Hugh and stuck out her tongue at Shirley, "it's not shameful! Come on, keep moving. "

"What about this car? It used..."

There were eight terms in the words of male sales. Hearing this, Poppi felt dizzy and just said that she could find any one for herself. The male sales wiped away the cold sweat.

Hugh couldn't help laughing and stepped forward. "Tell me, and I can give you some advice."

Poppi nodded her head in a hurry. So the man's selling target was not Poppi but Hugh. Poppi followed him like a little wife, listening to him talking with the man's sales. Yawning, Shirley sat at the lounge. She was reading a magazine while having a cup of coffee. She spared several seconds to check on Poppi and Hugh.

From time to time, Hugh would turn to ask Poppi if she was okay. After two turns, he finally chose several limos for her.

Poppi circled the car for two turns, then she came up to a pink sports car. She patted on the roof of the car and said, "I want this."

"Do you want to change the color?" Asked Hugh.

"I chose the pink one because I like it. Mr. Su, do you like it?"

Hearing this, Hugh smiled slowly. Though they were two steps apart, he didn't take the car but looked into Poppi's eyes and said, "yes, it's very beautiful."
