028 Scum

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"Your junior?" Huo Jue's gaze fell on Dong Yue. Dong Yue, who felt the man's gaze, blushed instantly.

"Yes." Xia Jin weighed her tone and replied nonchalantly.

"What major?" Huo Jue asked with interest.

"I studied accountancy. I'm still looking for a job." Seeing that Xia Jin was about to speak, Dong Yue answered in advance immediately.

Xia Jin's eyes moved, but she didn't jack into the conversation between them.

"Our company is short of a secretary. You can come and try it out." A vague light flashed in Huo Jue's eyes, and his tone was somewhat profound.

"Really?!" Dong Yue widened her eyes in disbelief. That naive look of hers appeared extremely adorable. "Thank you, Boss!"

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your senior." After Huo Jue said that, he let the chauffeur drive away to not bother Xia Jin and Dong Yue from catching up.

Xia Jin managed to dodge a bullet, just as she wished.

But she wasn't very overjoyed.

Huo Jue's attitude towards those women at the banquet was extremely cold, yet he had just spoken so much to Dong Yue.

His intentions were clear as day.

Dong Yue watched Huo Jue's car drive off into the distance, and her little face was flushed red. The expression on her face became less forceful when she turned back to look at Xia Jin. She even looked at Xia Jin somewhat cautiously and uttered, "Senior…"

Although the wariness and uneasiness in her eyes were well hidden, Xia Jin still caught it.

Xia Jin laughed in her heart coldly.

Did Dong Yue think that she was going to stop her from entering Huo Jue's company?

No, in fact, she was very happy.

Xia Jin told her about Huo Jue's recruitment for a secretary and added sincerely, "I also have some friends I know in there, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to give you a position inside."

Dong Yue was pleasantly surprised and looked at Xia Jin with some disbelief in her eyes.

Xia Jin pursed her lips and did not say anything.

Huo Jue's secretary was not only responsible for work matters, but also for some of his private "needs."

What kind of person did a man like Huo Jue like?

Xia Jin had done some research on psychology. Generally speaking, people either liked people of the opposite sex that were similar to themselves, or that were complementary to themselves.

Xia Jin vaguely felt that the latter should apply to Huo Jue.

All these years, she had thought carefully about why Huo Jue had chosen her out of so many interviewees.

At that time, there were several beautiful women among the interviewees, although she was good-looking, she was not the most outstanding.

She later figured out that it was because there was something in her younger self from five years ago that was lacking in Huo Jue's personality.

After chatting with Dong Yue for a couple of minutes and introducing some of the situations in Huo Corporation to her, Xia Jin's taxi arrived.

Before parting ways, Xia Jin shot a glance at the girl in front of her.

Simple, innocent, and youthful… just like a flower that grew up bathed in sunlight.

Dong Yue was like a copy of herself.

Although compared to her original self, Dong Yue was more cautious.

However, she did not expect Dong Yue to swoop in by accident, but it just happened to be to Huo Jue's liking.

Looking at Dong Yue, Xia Jin vaguely recalled the time when she had just joined the Huo Corporation.

 At that time, she had only just graduated. Although she had excellent academic qualifications, she had just entered society, was more or less inconsiderate with her work. In addition, there were many people in the Huo Corporation who looked at her unfavorably. Many said that she had entered the company by relying on her face.

The pressure of work and the indifference of her colleagues made Xia Jin feel suffocated, causing her mental state to not be good. Once, when she was serving coffee to Huo Jue, she accidentally spilled it on his shirt.

At that time, Xia Jin was so frightened that her face turned white. She desperately apologized to Huo Jue, and her heart was in her throat. She was afraid that Huo Jue would severely reprimand her.

Huo Jue, who was usually stern and cold as an iceberg, did not reprimand her. He only asked her to bring him a new shirt.

Xia Jin went into the changing room with the new shirt, but to her surprise, Huo Jue had already stripped naked. She blushed immediately and was prepared to leave.

However, Huo Jue slammed the door shut. His tall body enveloped her in his shadow, and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Are you unhappy these days?"

Xia Jin was completely stunned by the sudden concern of her boss, and her face burned red from the sight of Huo Jue's sexy and attractive abs. She shook her head desperately. "No…"

"It's normal to be stressed." Huo Jue's hand covered her cheek bit by bit before slowly lowering his head. "You have to learn to adapt to your environment and find a way to relax…"

What Huo Jue said had nothing to do with what he was going to do to Xia Jin next. Before she could react, her first kiss, which she treasured for more than over twenty years, was taken away by her boss.

Huo Jue's kissing skills were excellent. It was gentle with a touch of dominance. As their breaths intertwined, Xia Jin's heart slowly sank.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xia Jin snapped back to her sense.

Her eyes were terrifyingly cold from thinking about the past.

Scum.

Xia Jin's eyes were filled with hatred.

The current Dong Yue was nothing more than a second version of herself.
