Remedy For Love novel Chapter 3

Seeing this, Tina squinted and threw the manuscript on the desk with the ruffling sound of paper. "It's not good enough. If you redo it, I will consider using it. Also, send me an electronic copy." Then she clicked away in her high heels.

Wendy stuck out her tongue and pulled a face behind Tina's back. She grumbled in a low voice, "You aren't half as good, so you're green with envy. You always make trouble for Poppi. Do you think you're the measure of success?"-

Looking at Wendy, Poppi smiled and cautioned, "If she hears you, she will fire you."

"If she fires me, I'll work for you, Poppi." Wendy held on to Poppi's arm and shook her around. She said enviously, "I couldn't be more envious, Poppi. I really want to work for you. You are carrying a new, limitededition bag every week, and you have such a noble temperament. Poppi, why are you so rich?"

"Try to marry with a wealthy man."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Poppi, you..." Pausing midsentence, she felt something wrong and continued, "Poppi, you played a trick on me again. You don't have a husband. Why did you ask me to find one?"

"I have a husband!" Poppi grinned wickedly at Wendy.

"Humph! What a liar you are! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Returning to her desk with a pout, Wendy was followed by Poppi's laughter. Wendy and Celine were quite alike. It seemed that the way Poppi looked at Wendy was the same as when she looked at her sister.

With a sigh, Poppi resumed her seat in front of her desk. Considering the topic of a "husband," she sighed mentally, knowing that she and Malcolm were really married, but no one would believe her if she told the truth about it. They had to keep it as a secret!

Stretching herself, Poppi was about to pick up a pen to modify the draft, but remembering what Tina had said, she turned on the computer. She liked to write manuscripts by hand. Although it could be a little tiring, it had become her habit. This was so like the behavior of staying with Malcolm. Feeling fear at the thought of losing him or breaking up with him surfaced again, annoying her.

It took half the morning to revise the draft, and they were informed they would be having a meeting before their off-duty time. Poppi took her notebook with her and followed everyone to the conference room.

In the meeting room, there was only one light turned on near the big screen, and Poppi selected a seat in the dimmest corner, almost falling asleep. She hadn't slept most of last night because of the heavy rain and nightmares that plagued her, and she was now so tired.

"Our Mr. Fashion magazine is going to conduct the annual business interview. We have confirmed a few candidates." Standing in front of the screen where slides changed, Tina wore a confident smile on her face. At the same time, she said, "The first candidate is Malcolm Quan, the CEO of SG."

Bang!

The pen in Poppi's hand crashed to the ground, making a soft thud, which attracted everyone's attention. Tina glanced dismissively at Poppi and then looked away with a sneer. She continued, "If Mr. Malcolm's picture is on the cover page, the sales of our magazine will skyrocket..."

Poppi no longer listened to what Tina was talking about, but she couldn't move her eyes from the picture of Malcolm on the screen. Suddenly, she no longer felt tired. Interview Malcolm? It would be impossible to do that.

"If the magazine was to invite Malcolm, I would be the first one to sign up for an interview!"

"Fuck off! Who do you think you are! I'm the first to sign up for the task!"

"Mr. Malcolm is so handsome. I wonder what he's like in real life."

At lunch time, Poppi was dining with some colleagues of the Editing Department. They were talking about the morning's meeting. She couldn't help but flash a smile and said, "Maybe in real life, Mr. Malcolm is not that handsome. After all, photo editing has become so advanced, right? What if your dream is shattered?"

"What?" Wendy bit on her chopsticks and frowned. She looked disgusted. "Really? It is said that Mr. Malcolm is the most eligible bachelor in Ye City. It is said that he is in some form of relationship with the mayor's daughter. His face can't be too ugly."
