Supernatural Girlfriend Chapter 140

Chapter 140: My life was a joke

Luo Jing and the new hiree walked by . Before they left, I had to try to save myself. I definitely didn’t want to be alone with Suyang.

“Is there sothing important you need help with, manager?”

“After seeing your résumé, there are so parts I am curious about. I want to ask you individually. Is that not alright with you?” Suyang responded smoothly. He must have figured out my response ahead of ti.

“Of course not....” I was speechless. After all, he was currently my superior. I couldn’t go against him in front of the secretary and the new hiree.

Suyang glared at the two other n. He seed a bit annoyed, “Are you guys not going to leave?”

“Yes.” The two of them swiftly exited. The new hiree probably thought I was going to get scolded. Before he left the room, he secretly peeked at and had a crafty smile on his face.

F**k that child! Why is he rejoicing in my misfortunes? And ugh, why does Suyang want to keep here? I’m so nervous. Is he going to question why I left without saying a word three years ago? Or does he want to get revenge? Or maybe...

Wait, we are working in the sa company right now. He probably won’t do anything. Lin Yixin. You can do this. Stop freaking out.

My thoughts were spinning in my mind like mad. Suddenly, Suyang closed all the window blinds and the room turned pitch black. I recoiled my body and stared at Suyang with caution.

Suyang seed to be abnormally calm. Then, he pressed a switch and the room was lit. He comfortably sat in his boss chair as he took out my résumé, “Lin Yixin job candidate, where have you worked previously?”

“I don’t think where I have worked previously is important. The most important thing is that I’m part of the company now.”

Oh? So Suyang wanted to act like we didn’t know each other? That’s fine with .

“That’s true. But if your superior is asking you a question, you must answer it, no?”

How dare he try to threaten ? On the inside, I rolled my eyes countless of tis. But on the outside, I appeared strong, “In the past, I’ve worked at Day Mountain Trading Company.”

I told him the job I last held four years ago. You can’t bla . Ever since I was fired, I was Suyang’s assistant. After that, I never worked another white collar job again. The only thing I could use or say was the Day Mountain Trading Company.

“Day Mountain Trading Company? How co I have never heard of it?” Suyang muttered as he rubbed his chin.

“Of course you haven’t. Or else, you wouldn’t be asking. Do you have any other question? If not, I’m going to go leave now.” I coldly replied and tilted my chin up. My eyes landed on a painting behind Suyang’s back.

On the wall was a painting of a sunflower that had a missing a petal. The golden yellow hue gave its viewer a misconception of warmth. But if one looked closely at the missing petal, they would see that the flower was weeping. Its head was lowered like it was drowning in regret.

Suyang suddenly stood up and blocked my view. His expression was solemn, “Why are you in such a rush to leave? You don’t want to be in the sa space as ?”

I imdiately denied, “No, I’m only a job candidate. I must quickly get used to the area.”

Suyang leaned against his office desk as he played around with an item in his hand, “I noticed your age, Lin Yixin job candidate. You’re already 29. You’re much older than the other hirees. What do you have to say to that?”

“I don’t think a person’s age should determine whether a person is qualified for a job or not. If you want to assess an employee, you should be judging based on his/her abilities, decision making, and how diligent they are.”

Suyang clapped, “Good. I agree with you.”

“Manager, do you have any other questions?”

“Yes.” Suyang tilted his head as he grinned like a child, “It has been three years. Have you missed ?”

That smile brought back to three years ago. He always had this smile whenever he leaned against my leg or buried his head against my neck.

To , the three years were nothing. My love for him didn’t lessen at all. But it was impossible between us. Honestly, I wanted to rush over and embrace him. I wanted to ask him whether he missed . I wanted to know if he was dating soone else. I wanted to know how he was doing. And while he was thinking of how to respond, I wanted to give him a deep, passionate kiss...

But, I was able to hold back my powerful desires. During these past three years, this ability was sothing I was most proud of. Although my heart longed for him, I was able to act emotionless.

As for Suyang’s question, I wasn’t sure how I should respond.

I still loved him. But for the past three years, I have been very busy working. I had almost no ti to miss or think of Suyang. Even if I did have ti, I would control myself so that I wouldn’t think of him. Since I have already decided we had no future together, I had to crush all my thoughts.

But it was strange. Suyang beca sothing non-concrete in my heart. He was soone that I didn’t want to rember but couldn’t forget.

“Manager, what is that supposed to an? Today is the first ti we’ve t.....” I’m going to continue playing dumb; even if it was the stupidest idea.

“Are you sure that is your final answer?” Suyang’s smile suddenly beca dim. “I’ll give you one more chance. If you reply badly, I will investigate why you entered this company and tell the chairman.”

“You!” I panicked and glared at Suyang.

He reacted very excitedly as he clapped. “Yes. This is the Lin Yixin I know. Terrible temper and easily provoked. Cos whenever she feels like it and doesn’t care about how others feel. That is your style!”

As expected, Suyang was bitter towards my departure. Should I explain myself? But honestly, I couldn’t think of anything that could clear my cri. Forget it. It’s probably better that he hated .

“I know your motive for entering this company isn’t pure. You better answer my question.”

“I......” Before I could continue, soone knocked and saved .

“I’m busy!” Suyang snapped. He sounded like he didn’t want the person to co in.

“Manager, the chairman is looking for you.”

“Tell her I’m busy. No ti.”

Wow, he even dared to reject the chairman. Suyang was still unruly like he was three years ago. What was his relationship with Yao Youfan?

“The chairman says it’s urgent.”

“I got it. I’ll co now.” Suyang finally gave in. He gave a dirty look as he walked by . Then, he whispered in a low voice, “The future is long. We have ample of ti later to chat.”

After that, he confidently walked out of the room.

“Whew....” After Suyang left, I quickly ran out and found an empty seat to sit down. I held onto my beating heart as I tried to calm down. I gazed at Suyang’s office and thought to myself, What am I going to do if he wouldn’t let go? At this rate, how can I do further investigation.....?

My head began to hurt and I started to ss with my hair. The new hiree noticed and sneakily ca up beside . He mumbled, “What did the manager say to you? Are you in trouble?”

He tried to hide it, but I could still see his upward smile. Clearly, he wanted to look bad. I looked down and noticed the worker ID around his neck. His na was Guo Zijun.

I said what he wanted to hear and pretended to act miserable. “Yes, the manager scolded . He said I had to be alert during my work hours. If I continue acting like this, there is no need to return back to work.”

Guo Zijun seed pleased by what I said. “Oh yeah, Secretary Luo said there is a welco ceremony for all the new hirees tonight. After we’re done work, we have to go ho and change before we attend.”

What’s going on? He’s actually nice enough to notify ?

“Welco ceremony? Will we see the chairman too?”

“Who knows...? I guess it depends if we’re lucky. I doubt the chairman would co to a regular event like this though.”

If Yao Youfan shows up, this event would be a good excuse to get close to her. After all, if it’s a party, there will definitely be drinking. People are the least guarded when they are drunk. Perhaps I’ll be able to find out so stuff through her spirit and figure out whether she made the will up.

Suddenly, an unknown number appeared on my phone. I hesitated but decided to pick it up, “Hello?”

“Miss. Lin Yixin. It’s Xu Chuqiao. This is my personal cell phone. In order not to arouse suspicion, I’ll be using this phone to contact you from now on.”

“Alright. Is there an issue?”

“I heard you were called in by the marketing manager. Is everything ok?”

“Yeah. It’s my own issue. No need to worry.” For now, it’s fine. But soon....

“Alright. If there’s anything, call this number.”

“Yes, I understand.” You can’t solve my problem! I made a depressing face at my phone and shook my head. I swear my life was a joke.

So, I lingered around the office for the rest of the day until work was over. Initially, I thought being a job candidate would be very busy, but Guo Zijun wanted to show off so badly that he fought to do everything. So because of him, I had a lot of free ti. That was good. I didn’t have to do anything.

After work, I purposely went to buy an outfit for tonight’s event. When I swiped my credit card, my heart ached. I hadn’t even made money and now I already had to go negative...

When I arrived at the company, it wasn’t the type of party I had imagined it to be. The only people that were standing in front of the building were the new hirees from this morning. Was this the event that Guo Zijun ntioned?
