Looking into Seth's eyes, I couldn't help blushing.
I spent the whole new year in the town.
In the past few days, Seth had been very concerned about me. And his parents were also very kind to me.
For the first time, I felt the warmth of a family and the concern from the seniors.
This kind of warmth was different from what I got from Jeremy and Gina as well as a few perfunctory words I got from them after trying my best to please them.
I could feel that Seth's parents were both good people. And they might like me because of Seth.
Although Seth and I weren't in an official relationship, it would be just a matter of time before we become a couple.
As long as one of us said it, we would become a couple.
I thought that I probably would become his official girlfriend once a turning point came.
The New Year holiday was over. By the time I arrived at the company, many colleagues had been there.
Everyone was talking about the New Year holiday in groups.
When I went in alone, someone said hello to me and asked me how I was doing over the holiday.
I had gone through an unprecendented New Year holiday.
I recalled it for a moment and put on a smile as I replied, "I enjoyed it."
My colleague seemed to sense something fishy. And her eyes lit up. Then she asked me, "Ouch, you are smiling so brightly. Did you enjoy the New Year holiday with Vice President Hyde?"
"What? Did you meet Vice President Hyde's parents?"
As soon as other colleagues heard our conversation, they gathered around me as well.
Because everyone knew that Seth had said that he liked me before. They weren't surprised about what had happened between Seth and me.
When I was hesitating about how to respond, a voice came from behind the crowd, "What are you talking about?"
It was Seth.
As soon as he came, all my colleagues immediately changed their target and gathered around to say hello to him, wishing him Happy New Year.
Then they immediately changed the subject and asked him who he had spent the New Year holiday with.
At this time, Seth looked up and glanced at me with his clear eyes. Then he curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.
His action enlightened everyone.
Someone complained, "Alas. It seems that I won't have a chance."
"Yeah. He has taken her to see his parents. I'm going to change my target."
After everyone was done with their complaint, they left.
Seth walked to me and asked me in a gentle voice, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"Do I have to think about what to have for dinner now?" I looked up and blinked at him.
"if you want to say something else, it is also okay." Seth, who had been looking down at me, squatted down and looked up at me, "In fact, I just want to talk to you. You can say whatever you want."
His words made me a little embarrassed.
When the two of us were chatting, we heard a noise outside the office. It seemed that Wendy was coming.
Our colleagues were busy greeting Wendy, wishing her Happy New Year.
Originally, I didn't care about it at first. But Wendy suddenly stood at the door of my office and looked at Seth, who was halfsquatting. And she said, "Stop hitting on her. Come to the meeting room."
After that, she left in a hurry.
But I could tell that her tone was very serious.
After Seth left, my colleagues came back from outside and gathered around to have a discussion.
It seemed that all the leaders above the middle-level had been summoned to attend the meeting. And judging from Wendy's expression, it seemed that something serious had happened.
After that, everyone was discussing what the big deal was.
Someone asked, "Is our company going bankrupt?"
Someone among the crowd said mysteriously, "My uncle knows the shareholders of our company. During the New Year holiday, he said that someone had bought the shares from a certain shareholder at a high price in those days. I'm afraid that we are going to have a new boss."
As soon as he revealed this piece of shocking news, everyone was discussing more and more intensely.
Everyone began to think of a way out for themselves one after another.
