Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Poppi noticed the panic in his eyes and the eagerness he tried to hide. Strangely enough, she said

slowly, "Mr. Ji is right. But Mr. Ji doesn't allow me to leave. Is there really any other reason? "

"You..." With Benson's Adam's apple bobbing in his throat, he looked at Poppi in some bewilderment,

and even his eyes were covered with a layer of dodging light.

The clock was ticking. Poppi licked her lips and suddenly realized that she had been really crazy to ask

that question.

"Shut up! I believe that you didn't mean anything else! I... I didn't mean anything else! I, I take back my

question. " Poppi said quickly. She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she planned to run away as

fast as she could. "I have to go!"

"Poppi!" All of a sudden, Benson reached out his hands and grabbed Poppi's arms. He put forth a lot of

strength on his hands which successfully stopped her from walking further. He hung his head slightly

and his voice was vague but extremely clear, "what if I tell you that I don't allow you to leave just for

personal reasons?" After that, he finally had the courage to see what Poppi looked like. Poppi's

appearance was so clear in the dream of four years, but when he woke up, he was so far away from

her. He could not help but repeat it, pressing his missing over the past four years into a sentence. His

voice was so heavy that it was hard to melt away. "It's all private..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Poppi's heart beat was deafening in the quiet office and she was too shocked to say a word. She had

also thought about the reason why he left and heard that he was helpless. But now that he admitted his

selfishness in public, how could she isn't shocked?

"So what? Even though it's all for myself, it won't change anything. " He spoke a lot today and felt

helpless. His smile was even more faint. "I won't cause you trouble. I have promised from the beginning

that I won't disturb your life, but I have to see you happy with my own eyes. Only in this way can I feel

relieved."

Poppi swallowed and said, "you don't have to do this. I don't want Miss Pei to misunderstand us.

What's more, I don't want Malcolm to misunderstand anything. "

"…… I understand. It's good that you have forgotten what I said just now. I also have forgotten it. " As if

he had been stabbed for no reason, he felt a dull pain in his heart, but he said fatally, "now that in this

the case, will you make it public with Mr. Malcolm?"

"Maybe. I don't know."

"Okay," Benson nodded awkwardly. "It may not be a bad idea to make it public. As if Mr. Malcolm… He

is a reliable person. Since it is public, no one will gossip about it. It's good for you to be harmless. "

After being stunned for a long time, Poppi said, "you can't go on like this. I can see that Miss Pei likes

you very much. Since she has been engaged to you, will you… You should try to accept her. After all,

it's time for you to consider the future. "

"Yes." "Go out to work! Don't care about what other people think. I'll take care of it. "

"Okay," Poppi nodded.

"But promise me this will be your last time to resign." Benson pursed his lips and pleaded, "Maybe… I

won't take a few years to leave here. You just need to bear with me for a few more years. Besides, I

won't come to the periodical office very often, so I won't disturb you. Don't mention the resignation any

more, okay? "

"Where are you going?" Poppi asked with doubt, and after that, she nodded understandingly, "maybe it

is in foreign countries? Going abroad is good. You can stay with Miss Pei. "

With a bitter smile, Benson didn't answer her question. He quietly released his grip on Poppi's arm and

said, "go to work. If you're tried, have more rest."

He often said such words before. When Poppi was studying, she was not concentrated at all, which

was found by Benson. He did not blame her at all and just said, "if you are tired of learning, just take a

sleep and have more rest."

It reminded her of the old days, which made her heart sink. She said goodbye to him and left his office

in a hurry.

Standing in the same place and looking out of the window at the direction where Poppi left, with the sun

shining brightly, he seemed to be hollowed out. After quite a long time, he was still in a daze.

Future? Where is his future? What if he left… 'Poppi, will you miss me?

When she returned to her office, the desk was already full of documents. She smiled and forgot that

she had been promoted to a director of the department. It was her turn to check the document!

After working for half a morning and taking a break in the middle, she went to the tea room with Wendy

and others.

"What happened in Mr. Ji's office just now, Poppi?" Wendy asked.

"No, nothing." Poppi took a sip of coffee.

"When Mr. Ji's fiancee came out, she was domineering and looked fierce. She is not a good person.

Compared with our gentle and refined Mr. Ji, she is inferior." "Mr. Ji is such a good man..." Aileen

continued, shaking her head.

"Wow, Poppi, your hairpin is so beautiful." Jenny shifted the topic away. She stared at Poppi's hairpin

and asked, "is this the one Mr. Su gave you on your birthday?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy also tiptoed to look at her and shook her head. "No! The one given by Mr. Su

was a branch and a pink diamond, different from this one! This is a huge flower! "

"Right!" Aileen nodded in agreement. Then she said with a smirk, "this seems to be very expensive too.

Is this another one from Mr. Su?"

"No, no, definitely not. No one sent the same gift!" Jenny simply put down her cup and touched her

hairpin. "Wow, it looked more beautiful! 'Poppi, who sent it to you? Isn't that Miss Su? Which rich man?

"

Hearing what they said, Poppi's face turned red. Though she really wanted to put on the airs of

"director of the Department", the three women didn't care it. So she could do nothing but was threaten

by them, "It was… From someone else! "

After her words, the three hooligans kicked up a fuss.

Poppi's face became redder and shifted the topic, "Hey, hey! Go to work! "

"Mr. Poppi's face flushed. It seems that something is really happening! Who is he? " Jenny smiled.

"Exactly! I'm so curious about it! I thought you were comforting us when you said you fell in love with

someone else, but it turned out to be true! That's quick! " "Is he better than Mr. Su?" Aileen asked

excitedly.

However, Poppi didn't make any response but actually she remembered what Malcolm looked like in

her mind. Of course, Malcolm was the best. No matter who was compared with him, he was the best in

her heart.

"Sister Poppi, you look so happy now!" Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. She shook Poppi's arm and

said sadly, "but why didn't you tell me? I'm so sad!"

"I've been very busy recently. I'll tell you in a couple of days." Poppi pinched Wendy's face and turned

to the two women, "I'll tell you the whole thing to you! Don't leak it out! "

The three of them nodded their heads as if they were chicken pecking rice, then they made fun of

Celine. She laughed, "all right, all right, go back to work now! If the leaders find out about this, we'll all

be in trouble. "

"Come on! Let's go!"

"Bye!"

They walked out of the tea room, talking and laughing. When they arrived at the door, they met Tina.

The corners of Poppi's mouth twitched and she really wanted to slap herself. 'damn it!

The three girls cast a glance at Tina and nodded. Without saying anything, they continued to walk

forward.

Poppi was the last one to leave the room. When she passed by Tina, Tina snorted and said in a low

voice, "don't be complacent, Poppi."

Poppi looked at Tina, confused. "Why should I feel complacent?"

"You know what you have done." All of a sudden, Tina smiled mysteriously. "I know all things of you."

Then she turned her head away and walked to the tea room with her buttocks wiggled.

Poppi's frown deepened. She turned around and looked at her for a long time, shaking her head. Poppi

felt like she was guessing a riddle. It was a waste of time. She decided not to guess it.

After working for a whole morning, Poppi could not help but twist her neck. It turned out that being a

leader was so troublesome that she had a huge headache because of reading documents. She even

preferred to be an invisible person!

"Poppi, are you going to have lunch?" Wendy leaned over.

"It's time for eating!" Poppi looked at her watch, straightened up and stretched. "Okay, let's go to have

lunch together."

At this moment, her phone rang

The phone just rang when Poppi got up. Seeing the call, she hurriedly signaled Wendy not to speak.

She answered the phone, "hello? What's wrong? "

"Go downstairs."

The man on the phone was still domineering. Without any nonsense, he ordered directly.

"Why should I going downstairs? It's time for lunch. I'm going to have dinner with Wendy. " Poppi

pouted and said.

"I'm downstairs."

"Ahem!" "What?" Poppi choked on her saliva.

"I'm waiting for you downstairs. I'll go upstairs if I don't see you for five minutes." After threatening her,

he added, "good girl." Then she hung up the phone.

Speechless, Poppi listened to the busy tone on the phone and took a few deep breaths. Then she

apologized to Wendy, "Wendy, I may not be able to have lunch with you this noon."

"Haha..." Wendy Yu covered her mouth and smiled, "I heard it, Poppi. It was a boy's voice! Go and find

him! Introduce him to me some other day! "

"Ha-ha… Okay, okay. " 'Will she pass out if she knows? Poppi waved goodbye to Wendy and ran

downstairs quickly.

Poppi trotted downstairs. On the one hand, she was afraid of being seen. On the other hand, she

rushed out of the building and looked around. However, she still couldn't find her car. Just then, she

heard several whistles. When she heard the sound of the car rushing towards her, she saw the

dazzling luxury car in a row of cars. With a guilty conscience, she ran over.

Crack…

The door was opened all of a sudden, and Poppi got into the car in a blink of an eye. She was a little

out of breath and said, "but Malcolm … Well... "

But before she could finish her words, a figure came into her sight. Malcolm leaned over and kissed her

forcefully and tenderly.
