Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 113

When Poppi woke up, it was already eight o'clock. It was so late that she was unable to eat the breakfast with others together, much less to cook it for them. But when she went downstairs, the old lady not only didn't get angry but also looked at Poppi with a smile on her face with deep meaning.

Malcolm was sitting with the old lady at the table. He was reading the newspaper while eating. Hearing the sound of Poppi coming down, he glanced at her lightly. His eyes were gentle for a moment. "Wash your hands firstly and come to have breakfast. It is so cold. I will let someone heat it up again for you. "

Poppi came over, rubbed her neck and yawned. Malcolm was serious now. However, he had given her all his virginity to her tonight. Was it her fortune or misfortune?

No matter what happened, she had a comfortable time in the mountain.

Next morning, Malcolm and Poppi went to the mountain behind to get some spring water. In the afternoon, they were like a gardener, who trimmed the garden with scissors. They were very happy. Poppi said that she would set up a swing in the yard and Malcolm nodded his head to agree.

Perhaps, they could live like this for the rest of their lives. But they hadn't finished their task yet, so they had to face some people and things outside.

On a Monday morning, the weather was even colder. After a bleak autumn breeze, Ye city was desolate, with leaves all over the ground.

On the mountain, Poppi was well prepared to go out, like a warrior who had to face the gossips of the company.

"If anything happens, remember to call me." After sending Poppi downstairs, Malcolm exhorted her repeatedly, "you know, you can't hide anything from me. No matter what you have done, including being bullied or in trouble, don't try to solve it by yourself. I will help you. Do you understand? "

Poppi nodded her head and covered her chest with her hands as she laughed, "it feels so good to be protected! Mr. Malcolm, thank you so much! "

Malcolm laughed out loud, "it's good that you know it. Go then! "

"Yes, yes." She wrapped herself tighter with her clothes, pushed the door open and got out of the car. Madeline noticed that Poppi had walked into the office building from the window of the car and then told Sean to drive.

Not long after the car drove away, Hugh called.

Malcolm stared at the phone and thought for a while. Then he slid the screen and answered the phone, "hello?"

"Where are you?" "I want to have a talk with you. Talking to you something. " They all knew what they were talking about.

"Okay, I also want to have a talk with you." But Malcolm agreed without hesitation, "Tell me the place. I'm on my way to the company."

"I don't want to bother myself with that. Let's go to your office."

"Okay." They hung up after a short talk.

On the other side, Poppi felt a different sight as soon as she entered the magazine. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she still calmly walked towards THE office hall.

Seeing Poppi coming, Wendy trotted to welcome her. She hugged her tightly with red eyes and asked, "where have you been these days, Poppi? Why didn't you answer my calls? I'm so scared... "

"Good girl." Poppi patted her on the head and said, "I went abroad for the moment, but I forgot to take my cell phone with me. I didn't call you and it made you worried."

Wendy shook her head and hugged her tightly. Then she got out of her arms and said sadly, "Thank God, Poppi you finally come back. Was there anything urgent for you to leave at the meeting that day? It is said in the company. "

"Never mind. It's just a rumor." When Poppi was about to comfort Wendy, she saw Tina walking over there. When she was hesitating if she should say hello, she said, "look, the director is back!"

"Yes," said Poppi with a light smile

"How are you these days?" Wearing a mocking face, Tina walked up to Poppi and looked at her up and down. "It seems that you're a good girl. But you're so selfish… It seems that Mr. Ji has suffered a lot because of you! How can you feel at ease? "

Poppi frowned and said nothing. On that day, when others looked at them and saw that Benson had helped her, and there were so many people in the conference room, it must have been rumors about them, which must have caused a lot of trouble to him. It was getting more and more difficult for her to keep a simple relationship with him. She wondered whether she should apologize to him? She should have apologized to him at the airport that day…

Looking at Poppi, Tina hummed and laughed. 'The more I look at her, the more disgusted I felt. Why do all those excellent men fall in love with her? What a hypocritical woman!'

Wendy tugged at the sleeve of Poppi and said, "it's time, Poppi. You have a lot of work to do!"

"You are right." Poppi smiled at Tina and said, "I got to work."

Tina narrowed her eyes with disdain. At this moment, the door of the elevator opened. She looked in the direction of the elevator and saw a capable woman walked in, surrounded by several managers of the magazine.

"Look! Look who's here!"

"Wow, a real person looks more beautiful than on TV..."

"Is she Mr. Ji's fiancee? Am I in a dream? "

The whispers around caught Poppi with a pause. She heard the footsteps coming closer and closer until they stopped behind her. "Is her name Emily Pei?" The woman who made her be regarded as a "mistress" for several days. She was the fiancee of Farrell Ji!

"Miss. Poppi, nice to meet you."

Emily's voice came from behind and it seemed to be smiling. Poppi exhaled lightly and turned around, "nice to meet you, Miss Emily Pei." After that, she looked directly into Emily's eyes. Although Emily had put on a makeup, she still felt that she had a kind face, which was not as fierce as she had expected.

Emily was dressed in a suit and ten cm high heels. She was a few centimeters taller than Poppi. Looking at her disdainfully, She reached out her hand and said, "it's better to see you than listen to many times."

"Hello." Poppi also reached out her hand to shake hands with Emily.

"Benson have something to deal with, so he can't work at the magazine office today. Although I have nothing to do with the magazine office, as his fiancee, I still want to do my best to help him, so I came here." Emily slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of unrecognizable confidence. "Am I interrupting you?"

Poppi was so nervous. But she still kept clam and said, "Miss Pei, you must be kidding. The company is Mr. Ji's company and you are Mr. Ji's fiancee. I'm so flattered that you disturbed me. Miss Pei, whatever you want, just come to me. As an employee of the magazine, I will try my best to help you. "

"Okay." Emily said immediately, "in that case, please you go to my office with me, okay?"

"Miss Pei, this way please." Poppi with the gesture of "please", Emily arrogantly raised his head and walked forward on his high heels.

"Poppi..." Wendy asked in a low voice, concerned. She opened and shut her mouth, unspeaking.

Poppi gave her a reassuring smile and followed Emily to her office. Whereas, Tina did not say a word from beginning to end. She stared at Emily's back, and her eyes darkened.

"Humph… I thought they would fight. "

"Yes, it's so boring!"

"It seems that the two women can't bear the drama!"

After Poppi and Emily left the office, all sorts of voices came from the office hall. One was Mr. Ji's legitimate fiancee, and the other was an employee who had an ambiguous relationship with him. Wasn't it supposed to be such a fierce scene like "bumping onto the earth"? Why don't they fight with each other and have a quarrel? Why did they leave after saying a few words? That was so boring!

"Shut up!" Unsuspecting, Tina roared and shouted at the people, "don't you work anymore? Do you have nothing else to do?! If you have the ability to gossip in the office, why can't you dig out the news from others at work? "

After roaring, the office became silent. Tina said with a cold look on her face. Then she went back to her office, swollen with arrogance and anger.

After Tina left, a voice suddenly burst into laughter. "Poppi and Emily should have been angry, but they don't. Tina looked as if she was about to explode with anger. I'm getting confused..."

Emily went straight to Benson Ji's office. It was the first time that she had been here. But after she looked around, she suddenly felt a little sad. She asked faintly, "have you been to this office?"

Poppi frowned and answered in a official way, "I came here once or twice for work."

"Ah, for work?" Emily snorted and suddenly turned around, staring at Poppi domineeringly, "you don't need to come here again. Please, resign now. "

Knock, knock, knock…

"Come in." In the headquarters of the SG Ggroup, Malcolm was reading a document in his office. After a knock on the door, he raised his head.

The door of the office was opened by a moderate force. Entering it casually, Hugh took a look at Malcolm and said with a smile, "you will wait for me to be working for a while? Are you tired? "

The smile on Hugh's face was a little pale and decadent. Although he tried very hard to cover up his true feeling, Malcolm still noticed it at once.

"Have a seat." Malcolm signed the document, stood up and asked: "a cup of coffee for you?"

After a while, Hugh sat on the sofa and curled up himself. Shaking his head, he replied, "I don't feel like drinking coffee. I rarely drink coffee since then."

Malcolm paused. Did he mean that after the coffee was made by Poppi?

"Is she all right?" Hugh sighed.

"Not bad." Then he walked to the desk and leaned against it. He didn't know what to say next.

"It's so annoying! Malcolm, you are so annoying! I never thought that I would talk about a woman so seriously with you here. It's so annoying. "

"That's right. I didn't expect that, either." Malcolm stood in a casual manner, with his hands in his pockets.

"I love her first. Why did you… I hate you so much. " Said Hugh in frustration.

"There is no distinction between the former and the latter in love. Moreover, if the two of us really care about priorities, it has to be me first."
