Chapter 9 A Gift

It was time for work and everyone returns to work. Only Angel is still standing in front of me, indulging in a daze."Are you okay?" Angel seems shocked, she stares at me with fierce eyes and then left.I see that the earrings are still in my bag, I heave a relaxed sigh.

After a while, Andy runs over and whispers to me: "Angel just went out secretly, I followed her and see her enter the elevator, guess what she went to the monitor room."

"Go and see what she is up to." I lock the drawer, take my phone, and go out with Andy.

We dart directly to the basement. As soon as the elevator door opens, we meet Angel, and Angel is a little nervous when he sees me.I have a hunch,"Wow, manager, why are you here? Are you also coming to see who is the thief?"

Andy mocks."Your business has nothing to do with me. I lost my necklace. I'm here to see who has stalked into my office this morning!" Angel replies confidently."Then find out who stole your necklace?" It is unreasonable."Huh!Don't get in my way." Angel elbows me away and steps into the elevator."This woman is really bad!"

Andy couldn't help but complain. "No wonder Mr. Smith doesn't like her, she deserves it!""Stop talking, let's go and see!" I take Andy to the monitoring room.Sure enough, as I expected, Angle copied all the videos by watching the surveillance, and accidentally deleted the original files."Alexia, what should we do next."

Andy is worried, "What can we do, she is the granddaughter of the chairman, even if we complain, there will be no results, not to mention that I didn't lose anything, video evidence is not in our hands either." So we have to let it go. Although I am reluctant, I have to face the reality."You just gave up?" Andy also feels very unfair. "

She didn't mean that she lost her necklace. She might cause trouble for everyone. Let's see what other tricks she has." Angle doesn't let me go so easily.After returning to the department, Andy tells our colleagues what happened in the monitoring room. The colleagues are very speechless.

Everyone knows what happened, but no one dares to stand up.These days, Angle has been asking everyone to work hard over time, but apart from overtime, she has no other behaviors, but she makes me more worried because it is not like her usual behavior. We often worked overtime when the previous leader was there, so I am used to it. Anyway, there is overtime pay, but Jack Williams has called several times to invite me to dinner these days, and I don't have time.

During the lunch break on Wednesday, someone calls me out. When I go out, I see a courier delivering flowers. He is holding a large bouquet of roses. After I sign the receipt, I find a small card inserted in it. I know it is given by Jack.Soon after, my cell phone rings."Are you free now? I'm downstairs in your company. Let's have lunch together." He has come to my company, and I can't refuse it anymore. I just notice Andy by my side, so I explain to him I want to bring a friend, he agrees.Jack politely asks us what we wanted to eat, and finally, we decide to have some steak.

Andy has been observing Jack, and she quietly says to me, "This man looks pretty good and is very polite" I can't refute this."But Mr. Smith is better," I am speechless, why would she mention him now? "What do you think, Mr. Smith is such an exellent man, and he also gave you sky mermaid, that is a gift for his lover, he just likes you, and he is so handsome and rich, if not He doesn't like me, I must promise his pursuit!" Andy heaves regret.

"Do you have to discuss this with me now?". I look at Jack walking in front and don't know if he hears our conversation. I couldn't help but pinch Andy, hoping she could end this topic." Okay, then I will look for you tonight".The meal is very happy, neither Jack nor Andy make the atmosphere awkward.

"Do you like the flowers I gave you?" Jack asks with a smile. "Thank you, I like it very much." "That's good, let's go." Jack very gentlemanly pulls a chair for me.Jack sends us downstairs , "Are you free tonight?"

"Sorry, we have been working overtime these days, so we don't have time tonight." What I said is the truth.

"It's okay, let's have dinner together at noon tomorrow," Jack suggests again. "But will you work too hard?" I know his workplace is far away from mine, and it takes more than an hour to drive. "It's okay. I've been seeing customers outside these days, so I dropped in." Jack smiles, "Okay, then see you tomorrow, drive carefully,"After returning to the office, I found someone moved my desk again, and Andy's desk is also moved.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm a new employee named Bella, and I just wipe the table for everyone." This Bella is the person who helps Angle pick the lock last time."Yes, she is a new clerk, she is recruited by the manager.

" A colleague who arrives in the office earlier introduces. I feel bad when I hear that the person hired by Angle, and the person's dress is too gorgeous. At first sight, I don't like her very much, and this woman tries her best to be very genial and naive, but her eyes couldn't hide her evil thoughts.

The arrival of Bella made me feel more uneasy, so I hide the earrings in the safe at home. I know that if I let Angle know the existence of the sky mermaid, she might kill me.I receive roses at noon these days, and then I have lunch with Jack. I know more about him.And Jack is more and more satisfied with Alexia. Want to have further development.After getting off work on Friday, I come to the commercial street and look at the gorgeous jewelry.

I suddenly think about the Sky Blue I had worn. I don't know if Calvin has found it. When I fell in a daze, my phone rang suddenly. Calvin calls. I amstill thinking about him, and now he callsme, and my heart jumps wildly.His initiative makes me feel very helpless. I admit that he is a good person, but I am not the self-confident me anymore.

I don't think I can have Cinderella's dreams anymore, because Cinderella only exists in fairy tales, it is unrealistic.But my phone keeps ringing as if it would keep ringing until I pick it up. Finally, I answer the call."Why are you answering my call now?" Calvin's tone is a little angry. "I left my phone in the room just now."

I lie. I think my relationship with him is really weird now. I am not his lover or a familiar friend, but we talk It looks like communication between lovers. "Really!" Calvin's tone becomes colder, even I could detect something wrong with him.

He finds out that I had lied, but I had already lied and could only continue to make up lies."Are you okay?" "No" and the strange conversation ends.Calvin's povI am sitting in the car looking at Alexia standing in front of the jewelry store and squeeze the gift box. It was the gift he planned to give her. As soon as I get off the plane, I immediately come to her, but. She lied, does she hate me so much?Alex's povAfter I hung up the phone, I feel very guilty.

I always feel as if someone is watching me. I look back and seem to see a familiar car.After I got home, I pack my clothes and see the jacket Calvin borrowed from the first meeting. I think I'd better find the opportunity to return the jacket to him.Before I fall asleep, Warren sends me a message.

#w: Alexia, have you received a gift?

#A: What gift?

#W: Smith went to see you when he got off the plane? Has the gift arrived yet?

Warren is also surprised.I am stunned when I saw his text message. I haven't seen him today, but it suddenly occurs to me that I receive the weird call in the afternoon and the car that made me feel a little familiar. He was there! , Then I told him that I was lying at home and he found out that I was lying. No wonder he was so indifferent.

#A: I didn't see him today.

#w: That's a pity, I thought you would be very happy tonight.

#A: May I ask, why did he give me a gift?First, it was Sky mermaid, and now it is a gift brought back from abroad. I am feeling like I am going crazy.#W: You have to ask him yourself~Let me ask? I'm crazy.

#W: Go to bed early, good night.I end the chat with Warren, receive another message from Calvin.It's a photo! It's the Sky mermaid that I lost!I couldn't help calling him, "Smith, ah, Calvin, did you find the necklace!"

"Found it" Hearing his reply, I am completely relieved, and now I can sleep well." I won't tell you how I found it. You should rest early." His tone seems cold.

But recovering from the loss of the necklace made my nervous heart relax, and I couldn't take care of other things. I am really happy to find this necklace!Calvin's povI smile. I want to hide it for a while. I intend to use this necklace to date Alexia a few times, but Alexia makes him a little scared today, if, in the future. Let her find out that I was hiding the secret, the consequences may be serious, now their relationship is very ordinary, but it must not degenerate anymore, so I gave up this arrangement.
