Monica's ovulation period is conning soon. She started to look forward to Quarmy's call, but things went contrary to her wishes. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared and never called her again.
Instead, she received a strange call. It was from a company and the caller said she was hired.
The company was YZ Group. It was quite famous in Jiang City. Monica was not very hopeful when she submitted her resume, so she was really surprised.
The unexpected job made Monica very happy. She called Summer and told her about this matter. Summer happily said that she'd take her to dinner to celebrate. Monica refused because it should be her treat. After Summer got off work, she went to the restaurant with Monica.
During the dinner, Summer had been reminding Monica of what she should pay attention to when she was in a new company. Generally, big companies would bully newcomers. If she wanted to get a foothold in the company, she had to endure humiliation. In addition, big companies were full of intrigue. She asked Monica to be careful and not to trust others easily. Monica had learned a lot.
Monica went to the new company. She studied marketing management and was assigned to the marketing department. She had just taken up the job, so she didn't know a lot about it. She couldn't help but be a little cautious, because she was afraid of mistakes. Fortunately, the manager treated her well and taught her in person. Other colleagues were also very friendly to her. What Summer said didn't happen. The good working atmosphere made Monica very surprised and she gradually adapted to it.
One day, the manager asked her to meet the customers with him. He said that Monica should familiarize herself with the company's business. The manager had been in touch with these customers in advance, so things went great.
After signing the contract, the manager asked Monica to go back first. Monica took the elevator downstairs, but she then received a phone call from the manager, who asked her to have dinner with the customers.
Monica had to go back to the hall. She sat on the sofa to watch TV and wait for the manager. "Miss Mo?" A voice sounded. She looked up and saw Noah.
"Why are you here?" Noah asked her.
"I'm waiting for someone!" Monica answered. Quarmy should be here too. She subconsciously looked around but did not see him. Noah was Quarmy's confidant. Last time, he must have had a hand in setting her up. Although she knew that it was his duty, she could not forgive him. She continued to watch TV with a cold face without even looking at Noah.
Noah didn't care about her coldness. "Mr. Huo is here today." Monica did not speak. It had nothing to do with her. At the same time, the manager walked out with several men. Seeing Noah and Monica, they were obviously surprised. "Mr. Noah!" One of them came quickly and greeted Noah very politely.
He was the manager of another company. At this time, the others all came over, including Monica's manager.
Everyone greeted Noah. As Quarmy's confidant, Noah was indeed popular. Monica sneered in her heart.
After greeting Noah, Monica's manager secretly asked her, "Are you familiar with Noah?"
"I just know him," Monica answered. The manager was surprised. It was a good thing to know Quarmy's subordinate. In the future, they would have a lot of contact with Quarmy's company. When he was about to speak, the elevator door opened again. A tall man walked out of the elevator. "Mr. Huo!"
Hearing that, Monica looked over and saw Quarmy standing in front of the elevator. She subconsciously wanted to run away. Suddenly, she saw a woman in yellow. Then, Mary came out from behind Quarmy.
Quarmy looked over. Although there were many people, Monica had a feeling that he was looking at her. Quarmy strode over to them, and the people around Noah immediately went to greet him.
It was their honor to be so close to Quarmy and talk wit him. After all, Quarmy was rich and powerful.
They kept greeting Quarmy intimately. Quarmy gently shook hands with them one by one, but his eyes were still on Monica. Seeing that, Monica looked away indifferently. This man was really disgusting. No wonder he didn't call her these days. He was too busy!
Mary, who was by Quarmy's side, also noticed Monica. She walked over quickly with a smile on her face. "Miss Mo!" She greeted Monica warmly.
"Tina." Monica reached out her hand and smiled faintly.
"I am working in VSUS now," Mary said. She was explaining to Monica why she and Quarmy were here. Monica sneered in her heart. Quarmy was really smart. In order to stay with his mistress every day, he actually let his mistress work for him. She hated him a little more.
She looked coldly at those people who were flattering Quarmy. There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.
YZ Group's manager was secretly observing Monica. Miss Mo must have a strong background. Otherwise, why would the headquarters call him to deliberately take care of her? However, she was humble and had no temper. He had always felt that he was wrong because she seemed to have no backers. But since she knew Noah, he was sure that she was not an ordinary woman. It seemed that he had to treat her better in the future...
"Now that we're here, I'll buy you all dinner today!" After greetings, Quarmy said lightly. His words surprised everyone except Monica. It was really an honor to be treated by Quarmy.
With that said, Quarmy looked at Monica faintly. Then, he took the lead in walking to the door. Other people immediately followed him. Monica wanted to leave, so she pulled the manager's clothes and said, "I have plans tonight. I'm not going."
"No." The manager shook his head and lowered his voice. "It's an honor to have dinner with Quarmy. You are lucky."
Monica laughed in her heart. When did Quarmy become so powerful? The manager added, "Doesn't Mr. Huo have a female companion? All of of us are men. Don't you know his female companion? It's an opportunity to make friends with her."
Monica couldn't refuse anymore. She felt uncomfortable. If the manager knew that she and Mary were Quarmy's mistresses, he wouldn't have said that. However, she couldn't tell him the truth. She was unhappy, but she still followed them to the hotel.
They went to the best private room at Jiang City Hotel. There was no doubt that Quarmy had the highest status here. He sat in the main seat while Mary sat on his left. Monica was pushed to sit beside Mary, and the manager was next to her.
Since it was Quarmy's treat, of course, there were a lot of delicacies. Monica suppressed her unhappiness and started to enjoy it!
Quarmy was the king in Jiang City's business world. Being admired by Quarmy would definitely benefit their future development. Except for Monica and Mary, all the people present flattered Quarmy.
Quarmy was calm and composed. In the face of all kinds of compliments, he kept smiling faintly. Monica sneered. A man who was morally corrupt was destined to be a loser no matter how successful his career was.
The dishes were served one by one, and people kept flattering Quarmy. Monica just lowered her head to eat and ignored those compliments.
At a dinner party, there were always toasting. Quarmy hardly drank, but strangely, he didn't refuse others' toasts. Everyone knew that he had a bad stomach, so they didn't ask him to drink much. Quarmy just took a sip, while others would drink it up.
Everyone had toasted Quarmy, except Monica. She ignored Mary and did not care about what others were talking about. The manager secretly complained. Monica was not an idiot, but why was she so dull at this moment?
He thought that she would take the initiative to talk with Quarmy's female companion, but all she did was eat.
When the manager saw the way Monica was eating, he shook his head. It seemed that she had never eaten delicious food before. It was impossible for her to take the initiative to toast Quarmy. Therefore, he reached out his hand to poke Monica and motioned her to toast to Quarmy.
Since the manager had asked, Monica couldn't pretend to be confused. Although she was busy eating, she heard others' compliments to Quarmy. This man was so disgusting that he could keep still calm. What a hypocrite!
She didn't know why, but there was a fire of anger in her heart. Didn't you like to be complimented? Weren't you calm? I had to teach you a lesson.
Monica put down her chopsticks, picked up a wine glass and walked toward Quarmy with a smile. "Mr. Huo, I've heard a lot about you and I admire you very much. I'd like to propose a toast!"
Quarmy narrowed his eyes slightly. This woman had been eating since she came in, but he could still see the sarcasm in her eyes.
He knew her well, so he naturally knew what she really meant. She was such a proud person, so it was no wonder that she would dislike compliments.
He also saw what her manager did. He thought she would refuse, but he was wrong. She said so many compliments to him and went to propose a toast to him in person. He was a bit surprised. Then, he smiled faintly and said in a extremely gentle tone, "Miss Mo, thank you! I'm empty it. Be my guest!"
The manager was slightly stunned. He didn't mention Monica when he was chatting with Quarmy. How did Quarmy know her surname?
While he was thinking, Quarmy raised his glass and drank it up. He also showed Monica the bottom of the glass. Monica did not say much and drank up the wine in her glass.
There was a round of applause. "Miss Mo, you are really great!" Quarmy actually drank up his wine for Monica. It was really surprising.
Everyone looked at Monica. Just now, they were all flattering Quarmy so they didn't pay much attention to her. Now that they suddenly found out that this woman was really beautiful. No wonder that Quarmy would admire her. But didn't others say that Quarmy was cold to women? What was going on?
"Mr. Huo, let me fill your glass!" Monica slowly picked up the bottle and poured wine for Quarmy. Quarmy did not refuse. He just smiled and watched her pouring wine for him. It reminded him of the past. At that time, she was also pouring wine for him with a smile. Suddenly, he was a little sad.
"Mr. Huo, how about I toast you again?" Monica raised her glass to Quarmy again. Quarmy smiled. "Great!"
The two of them had another drink. Monica picked up the bottle again and filled Quarmy's glass. "It's my great honor to know a big shot like Mr. Huo."
Quarmy's face was a little pale. Monica was satirizing him. He didn't say anything and continued to drink it up. Monica continued to fill his glass. "I wish Mr. Huo more and more money!"
Quarmy did not refuse. He drank another glass of wine. Monica continued to pour wine with a smile. Seeing Quarmy drink four glasses of wine in a row, Mary began to worry.
She didn't know how much Monica could drink, but she was very clear about Quarmy's stomach disease. She didn't forget what Quarmy suffered last time.
Would it happen again? While Mary was thinking, Monica raised her glass again and smiled at Quarmy, "Mr. Huo, I'm so glad to see you. I wish you ten times the success you're having now!"
This meant that she wanted Quarmy to drink ten glasses of wine. Quarmy's face changed. Where did she learn those toasts? He felt a little guilty. She used to be an innocent and simple girl. It could be imagined how difficult her life had been.
He did not hesitate to pick up the wine glass again. Seeing that, Mary was a little anxious. "Miss Mo!" Her voice inevitably sounded a little loud.
In fact, Monica couldn't drink. But she was so angry that she wanted to gamble with Quarmy. She thought that he would refuse, but he actually drank four glasses of wine in a row. Then, she directly asked him to drink more without hesitation. She wanted to see if he would refuse.
Quarmy didn't refuse, but his lover was distressed and even tried to stop him. Seeing Mary's anxious look, Monica sneered in her heart. Then, she trembled slightly and the wine in her hand was about to be sprinkled on Quarmy's head.
Mary's voice was so loud that Quarmy frowned and turned his head to look at her. Therefore, he happened to avoid Monica's wine. But his his brand-new suit was full of wine stains. Everyone present gasped.
Monica's face showed fear. She grabbed the tissues on the table and wiped Quarmy's clothes in a hurry. She repeatedly apologized, "I was scared by Tina. My hand trembled. Sorry, Mr. Huo."
With her wiping, Quarmy's fancy suit was covered with tissues, which made him look even more embarrassed. The people around all widened their eyes, and the manager of almost came over to chop her hands.
There was no sign of joy or anger on Quarmy's face, but his hands held Monica's hands accurately. "It doesn't matter. Let's continue drinking!"
Everyone thought that Quarmy would be angry, but he didn't. When they saw him holding Monica's hands, they finally knew that he had a crush on her.
Monica originally wanted to tease Quarmy, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.
The person sitting next to Quarmy immediately got up. Quarmy pulled Monica to sit next to him. "Everyone knows that I can't drink, but I'm really happy to see Miss Mo today, so I'd like to drink more!"
As he spoke, he picked up the bottle and filled Monica's glass. "Miss Mo, please!"
Monica drank her wine up, so did Quarmy. "Miss Mo is really good at drinking. Why don't we drink cross-cupped wine?"
