Vana looked at the street outside the window of the coffee shop, the bustling city with heavy traffic in the street and heavy clouds in the sky. Then a string of lightning lit up, and the people around were disturbed to look up at the sky.
In less than a second, the bean sized rain began to fall, and the pedestrians on the road fled in all directions. Soon, a lot of passers-by came into the cafe, and the originally quiet space suddenly became lively.
Vana and Julie still maintained the previous atmosphere of getting along with each other. Julie had already cried into tears. While handing her a tissue, Vana gently patted her back to calm her down.
“Vana, I lost my mind before to agree with Petty and Daisy’s request. They said that as long as you were driven out of the Magic City, they could give me a jewelry worth about one million. You know, my family condition was so poor, so I really did not have other choice but to agree to them at that time. But later I was transferred to the Civil Affairs Department and I came to my senses. I also said that I have asked Daisy to help me return it to Mr. Steve. But how it comes to this?”
Vana immediately asked, “when you were transferred to the Civil Affairs Department, Daisy had been dismissed, hadn’t she? Why did you give the jewelry to Daisy and ask her to hand it over to Mr. Steve? ”
“At that time, Daisy was still in the process of personnel management. She contacted me and said that since she left, she would not complain and she even told me that she would not speak out anything that was related to me. But I had thought it through at that time and told her that I did not want to continue to make mistakes. At that time, she did not say anything, but later she said that she was afraid that the higher authority would find the jewelry was lost from her hands, so she asked me to give the jewelry to her and she would hand over the jewelry to Mr. Steve in person, so that she will leave a good evaluation on her resume. She said that she would continue to work in the future. It’s not easy for her to have the experience of being a shop manager, and she doesn’t want to give up such a work experience.”
“So you believed her? But Julie, do you know that if she admits the bad thing she has done in person, there also would not have a good evaluation on her resume. But if this matter is not discovered, she will get about one million jewelry. She is lying to you.”
“What? No, it won’t be like this.”
Julie couldn’t believe what Vana just heard. How could Daisy do that? If so, she would be involved in this matter and had something to do with it. Moreover, why didn’t Daisy report her earlier but Vana this time? What’s more, Vana got involved in the matter that had nothing to do with her.
‘it’s all my fault to make Vana involved. It must be me.’
“I know, Vana. Daisy just want to drag you into it. In fact, the whole thing has nothing to do with you. When I was close to Petty, I overheard that she was talking to someone else on the phone, and that person’s purpose was to drive you away. Even for the thing that I was allergic to shrimp mud, it was Petty who came up with the idea. It was all their design.”
By now, Vana had completely understood that if everything was like what Julie had said, then it was Emily who was behind all this.
Emily even drugged her while setting her up to steal jewelry. She really lived a simple life.
Why did she still think it’s not enough to occupy her family? Did she have to drive her out?
Moreover, from the drugging thing, Vana felt that Emily must have sensed a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis could only come from Billy. Did it mean that her relationship with Billy had a crack?
Vana was thinking about this in silence. Soon, a car suddenly came from outside the window. The car stopped in the rain, and not long after, Vana’s mobile phone rang. She received a message from Simon, saying: [I have been here. Do you want me to go in? ]
It seemed that Terence had already told Simon her intention in the coffee shop. She thought for a while and sent out a few words.
After a while, Vana saw the black car open. James walked to the door of the back seat with a black umbrella, and then the door was opened. Simon’s long straight legs fell to the ground from the car. When he appeared under the umbrella, the crowd in the cafe began to be restless.
“Wow, look! What a handsome man! Who is this man? He looks so elegant.”
“His car is a limited edition imported car. He is so handsome and rich. Will he be a gay?”
“You are a gay-liker and everyone in your eyes is a gay. I think I have seen him on TV. Is he a TV star?”
“What is your problem of your eyes? This man is my boss. Look, he is the boss of the World Trade Mall building. His name is Simon. Haven’t you heard of the King Si of the Magic City?”
“King Si?”
“King Si!”
“Wow, it’s King Si. No wonder that he could be so handsome. The real person is one hundred times more handsome than that in an interview on TV. Wow, the World Trade Mall is his property. I heard that there is also a World Trade Mall in the J City, right? He is really handsome and rich.”
The sound of all directions was still rising, but these people suddenly stopped screaming the moment Simon pushed the door in. The whole air was frozen. Only dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the man at the door. They looked at the man who was elegantly straightening his sleeves, and then wiped some small water drops on his shoulders with his hands. Then he said to James behind him, “Let the car is parked at the door. We’ll leave as soon as I pick her up.”
James nodded, turned around and opened the door. Then he opened the umbrella and went back to the car.
The words and behaviors of the boss and the servant were all seen by everyone. They were like the communication mode that only appeared on TV, simple and very shocking. The onlookers were stunned. It was not until the person in front of Simon blocked the way that he said in a low voice, “Excuse me sir, could you please make way for me, I need to pick up an important person.”
The man in front of Simon immediately moved aside and said politely, “I’m sorry. Please go ahead!”
The man was surprised to realize that he had become more elegant, and from time to time he had full respect for Simon.
Only by talking to excellent people could people feel the meaning of confidence and existence.
When Simon walked to the table where Vana and Julie sat, Julie’s eyes were fixed on him all the time. She found Simon when the people around her screamed. Then Simon walked into the cafe and stood in front of her. She couldn’t imagine that she would have a second chance to get close to Simon, even if in his eyes, there was only… Vana alone?
Wait, why did Simon look at Vana so affectionately?
“I happened to see you here when I passed by. Do you want me to take you home?” Simon told Vana directly that he was here to pick her up.
Although the message Vana just sent was [I’m drinking coffee opposite the shopping mall. It’s so boring that I almost fall asleep. ] But she didn’t tell Simon that she lied to Julie that she was someone else’s wife. She didn’t expect that what Simon said was also very ambiguous. It seemed that they were not intimate, but they were also not unfamiliar. Instead, he was like her chaser.
So Vana climbed up the stairs given by Simon. She pointed at Julie with a smile and said, “It is bad that Julie will misunderstand us. She is your employee and knows that I’m married.”
Simon said, “But you still have the right to give others a chance even after you get married. Otherwise, how can I have the chance to send you home?”
Vana was a little happy. She could tell that Simon replied like this because he was a little happy after he heard that she said she was married. Moreover, she also liked the possessiveness of a mean man like Simon, so her expression was lively.
Then, Vana raised her phone to Julie, who was still in a daze, and said, “Julie, thank you very much for what you said today. I’ve recorded it, but you can rest assured that I will deal with these things well and not let those people know that you told me the truth, and I can promise you that Simon will never fire you again” With these words, Vana patted Simon on his shoulder and asked, “what do you think, Simon?”
With a charming smile, Simon was about to kiss Vana face to face. He replied loyally, “yes, I can guarantee it!”
Vana immediately smiled at Julie and said, “look, I’m telling the truth. So Julie, I will keep my promise. You just need to continue to work and be good to yourself. Don’t trust others easily in the future, okay? Then we’re leaving now. I need to go home with Simon.”
So she held on to Simon’s arm and left the cafe with Simon’s arms around her waist. Before everyone and Julie came to their senses, Billy, who was closing an umbrella across the road and about to enter the mall, was suddenly stunned.
He saw Vana in the arms of a man, talking happily with him, and that man looked at her from beginning to end, not letting Billy see his appearance.
