Chapter 17 Where Hurts

Book:The Love of the CEO Published:2024-5-1

“I…I mean, that night, I thought you were asking… ”
Abby began speaking incoherently as she got nervous. She was anxious to explain something, but it seemed that the more she explained, the messier it was. Is the man fooled her deliberately?
She raised her eyebrows and saw a mischievous smile with his thin lips. She realized that she was teased by him.
Brian wanted to ask her whether she hurt at the night of five years ago. Seeing her so nervous and shy, he stopped teasing her.
“I see.” He returned to the usual indifference and nodded.
Abby was confused.
The man was still wearing the mischievous smile just now, and then in a twinkling of an eye he had already regained his decent look. It is said that women tended to get angry easily because of some trivial things. In this respect, this man definitely exceled women!
Abby also stopped her thoughts from spouting. She took out some of her awards, certificates obtained abroad as well as other documents.
“Mr. Brian, here is my resume. Please have a look at it.”
Brian was upset by her business look. But his face still didn’t reveal his feeling. He took the files from her hands calmly.
He just scanned them casually. Actually he was not interested in these things. After knowing her identity, he had decided to keep her. As for why he still pretended to check her documents, it was just a gesture.
Brian looked up and closed the folder after a minute or so.
“Congratulations, Miss Jones! Welcome to Davies Group.”
This sentence was already a final word to tell Abby that she had been employed.
She was happy, but wasn’t the process too simple?
Without various questions, verification, and even the most basic occupational test, she was employed?
She had heard that the recruitment process of Davies Group was quite strict and tedious, and it was difficult to select a candidate easily!
“What’s the matter? Any questions?”
Until the sexy magnetic voice of her boss rang near her ear, Abby regained her composure from confusion.
Her moistening soft lips gently pursed. She shook her head, “No, nothing.”
She could put it aside. Now that she was employed, she would stay.
“Well, I hope we can have a good cooperation in the future.” Brian smiled.
Both of them got up at the same time. Brian held out his big hand, and Abby also nodded with a smile and stretched out her hand.
The handshake was supposed to be polite, but evolved into…
Abby felt her small hand wrapped in the warm and generous palm of the man. The burning temperature from the man’s palm tightly wrapped her.
She managed to keep her smile calm and moved back her little hands slightly.
As soon as she made this reaction, she instantly felt the strength which wrapping her hand became stronger, dominantly stopping her from running away.
She raised her eyebrows. There was puzzled feeling in her lustrous eyes. She gave Brian a glance.
Then the man loosed his hand with a big mysterious smile.
Abby felt she might think too much.
So she nodded and turned slowly to leave.
“Miss Jones…”
Having stepped at the door, Abby heard the man’s voice, stopped unconsciously and turned.
“Mr. President, what can I do for you?”
The huge president office was exposed to the sunshine on three sides. The golden sun outside the window was shining wildly, most of which was shining on the handsome and upright posture of men.
For a moment, Abby were dizzy by the scene.
She couldn’t help narrowing her eyes until the man raised his eyebrows and opened his thin lips. He said leisurely, “You haven’t thanked me yet!”
Abby could not help frowning.
Thank him for what? That night or today’s employment.
“Thank you, Mr. Davies.”
Abby didn’t dare to think about anything more. She slightly bowed to her boss, turned and left like running away.
Until the door of the president’s office was closed, Abby’s heart was still beating rapidly.
She stood at the door of the office, and didn’t notice that someone was coming towards her on the left because she was full of thoughts.
“Miss Jones.”
Ben gently called, scared the pretty girl who was immersed in her own thoughts.
“Oh… Hi, Mr. Harris.”
Ben was good-looking and handsome. With a modest smile, he said, “We will be colleagues soon. You didn’t need to be too respectful. You can just call me Ben.”
“Yes, Ben.” Abby generously changed her call.
Ben nodded, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the office.”
Following Ben, Abby began to secretly look at the company.
The overall design of black, grey and white implied the leader’s efficient personality. The whole floor on the top office was clean, bright and grand, with a little luxury in low-key.
“Miss Jones, this is your desk.”
After Ben left, Abby simply tidied up her desk.
She was just a new translator and the position was not very high, so she should work in the open-plan offices with other colleagues.
When she just sat down, the opposite girl put out her head and greeted her with a smile.
“Hi.”
“Hi!” Abby raised her head and responded with a smile.
The girl was cheerful. Seeing Abby also make an enthusiastic response, she hurriedly rolled her office chair, slipping to Abby’s side.
“My name is Luka Brown. We will be colleagues from now on.”
“Abby.” Abby introduced himself happily.
“Abby, you are so excellent!”
“What do you mean?” She could tell that this girl named Luka Brown was young and big-hearted. She was an adorable dear.
“Hundreds of translators came to apply for the job, but only you are hired. And I heard just now that the president only meet you alone and kept you. It seemed that your qualifications are outstanding.”
Abby shook her head with a smile and said, “What you said is just boastful of me. I was so nervous when I was interviewed in the office by the president just now.”
Nervous? She was really nervous. But the chief executive didn’t say a word about her qualifications
“That also shows that you can excel others, if it is me…” With a smile, Luka glanced at the passers-by in front of her eyes. She immediately closed her mouth and returned to her seat as if she were busy working.
What happened?
Abby was curious and looked at the direction of Luka’s sight just now.
She saw a line of energetic people in suits coming this way. There were men and women, smiling and talking.
