Chapter 8 William
"Hey, Alexia, this is Jack Williams, do you have time?"
"Yes, I just wanted to reply to you." I didn't expect him to call, and I am a little embarrassed.
"I'll pick you up this afternoon." Jack Williams eagerly wants to have a further relationship with me, "No need, I take the subway to go faster, so I won't bother you."
Jack William's pov
Although Alex rejects me,I am even happier. Because I saw something real nature in her, she doesn't worship money, a good choice for my wife.
"Then we'll see you at 2 in the afternoon." Jack Williams hangs up in satisfaction.
Alex'a Pov
After searching again and not finding the necklace, I dress up casually and go to the appointment.
The mall,
"I bought the 2:50 Titanic. It's still early. Let's go shopping." I nod and go shopping with him. But I am still worried about the necklace. I ignore other people's gaze. ..
But these gazes greatly increase Jack Williams' self-esteem, because the beautiful Alexia is standing by his side as if telling everyone that he is a successful person, and he doesn't expect to meet such an elegant lady.
To show everyone his success, Jack Williams takes me to the coffee shop with the most people.
"What do you want to drink?" Jack Williams shows himself as a gentleman."Ah, anything is okay." I don't like coffee at all, it's bitter, I prefer milk.
After getting the coffee, we sit by the window, and I find him staring at me. "what happened?"
"Your earrings?" He wants to get close to my ears and I quickly escape. Then I discover that the SKY Mermaid earrings are still on my ears,
"Diamonds." His tone is strange. "
No, it's fake, I bought it because it looks good." In order not to misunderstand him, I lied.
Jack Williams hears the answer and is more satisfied with Alexia, what a diligent and thrifty lady.
"The movie is about to begin, let's go." I change the subject.
Although it is the classic Titanic, I can't calm down and appreciate it. I have been thinking about the lost necklace and its meaning. This necklace is so famous that it can be found on the Internet. Sky mermaid means loyalty. It's for lovers. Why did Calvin give this to me? Does he want to pursue me? If it is true, do I have to agree? No, no, I won't agree. My life has finally stabilized. I don't want to get caught up in some unrealistic things. He is so young, handsome, and rich, how could he like such an ordinary me? But now I have lost his necklace. If we two stay together in the future, I will be even more sorry for him. His lover will hate me.
I watch the movie absently, completely unaware of what Jack Williams is talking about.
"Hey, alexia, are you ok?" Jack Williams is a little unhappy.
Jack Williams pov
After the whole movie, Alexia didn't interact with me. In the film, after seeing the kiss scene, many couples couldn't help but kiss, but I didn't get anything.
Alexia's Pov
"Ah, I'm fine, but I was drunk yesterday and I didn't have a good rest." I also know it's a bit rude, but. .
"Well, it's uncomfortable to get drunk. Let's go to dinner, and then you will go back to rest early." Jack Williams seems very sweet.
We say goodbye after dinner. He wants to drop me home, but I still have part-time work to do at night, so I lie to him that I will go to a friend's house and refuse him.
My part-time job is to teach children to draw. I have been drawing since I was a kid. Although I am not as good as a drawer, I am a professional, so it is very easy to teach children . Moreover, this job is well paid and the parents are polite. The children are also cute, so I am very happy to work here.
In the middle of the night, I return home and put the earrings in the box, planning to return them to Calvin tomorrow. I already lost the necklace, but I can't lose the earrings.
But lying on the bed, I couldn't help taking out the earrings and touching them gently. Suddenly, I had a very absurd idea. If I sell these earrings, then I don't have to save money for my mother's surgery. The money is enough for us to spend a few lifetimes. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hit myself on the head. Oh my God, how could I have such a bad idea? These earrings are so expensive and have such special meaning, I can't even ask for them! I must return it to him tomorrow, and pray that the necklace can be retrieved soon.
The next morning, when I arrive at the company, Andy mysteriously approaches my earlobe, "Alexia, what's the difference between me today?" I look at her carefully, but didn't find any difference, "No ."
Andy turns around in front of me, "Don't you think I'm beautiful and different?"
I honestly answer: "No!" "Annoying!" Andy is very frustrated, but she is still very excited, "I met a college classmate who works at showbiz and asked if I am interested in becoming a star Of course I am interested. He asked me to go for an interview in a few days."
"So, are you going to be a star?" I doubt Andy's classmates, he might be a liar.
"No, start with a model first, then slowly play TV series, accumulate experience, Alexia, you are more beautiful than me, let's go together, and it is very easy to make money as a star, you are short of money now, maybe not in the future." Andy Has begun to plan the future of both of us,
"No, I'm not interested in being a star." I shake my head and rejected her, not only because I am not interested in being a star, but also because being a star is not so easy, and her classmates may not A good person.
"Don't be too simple, don't sign contracts at will." Andy immediately understands what I am trying to say. "Don't worry, I am not a kid anymore, I will be careful, and I will also go to his company, I have known him for many years, he will not harm me"
Today is Monday, and there must be a weekly meeting in the past, but Angel Johnson does not show up in the office until 9:30, and her secretary asked everyone to stand up and listen to her.
Angel Johnson is still rude. She has only been here for a few days, and the whole department is very dissatisfied with her. Andy told me that if it weren't for her family background, it would be impossible for her to become Manager, can't even enter the door of Sky Group.
These days, to prove her presence, Angel Johnson keeps making trouble for all employees, and she would never admit it. Although the previous Tom Jackson manager is not very good, his workability is still recognized by everyone.
Then everyone returns to their positions unhappily. Although Angel glares at me after the meeting, I also pretend not to see. I didn't want to care about this lunatic.At the end of working hours in the morning, I called Warren, hoping that he could help me hand over the earrings, "But I'm on a business trip these days." Warren is not in the country, it seems that I have to return it to him."Alexia, let's go, let's have lunch." Andy urges me to eat. I put the earrings in the bag and locked them in the cabinet."Angel, is this the bitch you are talking about?" Soon after Alexia left, Angel and an employee who is not Sky Group appeared in Alexia's position."Bella, you heard it too, just now she calls Warren and says about earrings!" Angel is very angry."Well, I heard it, and I said it was too expensive." Bella askes cautiously, "Angel, what she meant, did Mr. Smith give her an expensive gift?"Angel's face worsened. "Bella, go and see what it is!" Bella wants to open the drawer but finds that it was locked. "There must be something wrong. Pry it!" Angel instructs Bella, but Bella doesn't want to move. , She knows it was an illegal act, "Listen to my orders, I am the future heir, and I will take care of anything!" Angel is so angry that she is about to hit someone "It's because of this bitch that Smith ignored me!""Angel, don't do this kind of behavior. It will have a bad influence on you." Bella kindly reminds her. Angel also knows that the lunch break will be over soon. When they saw her prying the lock on the staff desk, it would affect her. So she turns and goes to the office.After eating, I return to the office and find traces of movement on my desk, "Who moved my belongings!" My words attracted all my colleagues. Everyone panics to see if they miss anything."Alexia, do you have anything missing?" Andy's words remind me that my earrings must not be lost again. When I open the lock and takes out the bag, Angel suddenly snatches the bag from me." What are you doing!" Is this woman crazy! She snatched my bag, "Didn't you say you lost something, just let me help you see if you have anything missing." Angel smiles strangely, and wants to open my bag, "You have a mental illness!" Andy beside me helped me snatch the bag while Angel didn't pay attention."Alexia, check the surveillance, don't let some thieves run away!" The colleagues around also agree with Andy's suggestion. I see Angel's expression changed and becomes very panicked. Then, I just Know that she must be bothering me, so I accept Andy's suggestion."Well, I'll check it out later. If I lose something, I must give feedback to Mr. Smith. The security of our company is unsafe."I stared at Angel, and when she heard me say, Calvin, her expression becomes unnatural. Oh, she can only do these naive actions. I stare at Angel and smile disdainfully.
