It was really the first time that someone had asked such a straightforward question. More importantly, the person who asked me was standing right beside me and would not leave.
"We haven't been in love for long. How could we know about this kind of thing?" I smiled awkwardly, trying to muddle through.
"It can't be?" The colleague looked back at me and finally asked in disbelief.
Hearing this, I simply pretended not to hear it. I flipped through the documents on the table and said to myself, "Where was the report yesterday? I remember that it was done. Where was it put?"
As I spoke, I deliberately looked up from the bottom of my eyes at my colleagues. I was depressed that she didn't know how to leave. Was she going to stay here for a day?
It was all Harrison's fault that things had developed to such an extent. Who asked him to tell a lot of things honestly? Did he think that the company that completely belonged to him would not gossip?
No one will gossip about him. It's just that I'm in charge of everything.
Just as my colleagues were standing there and about to leave, a familiar voice broke my fantasy...
"It's useless to talk to Sister Chelsea in this way. You have to ask straightforwardly if you have slept together. We are all adults, and everyone knows a trace of it." Liu Qian came over with a smile and looked down at me.
I looked back at her as soon as I saw her. I didn't give her any more look.
A woman like Liu Qian didn't have to be provoked at all, otherwise, she would be like a dogskin plaster and no one could get rid of her. After such a long time, she still didn't change.
The reason why my colleagues analyzed how far the relationship between Harrison and me was mostly because of curiosity, but things were completely different when it came to Liu Qian. Every thing that she said would always give people a bad feeling.
His colleague scolded Liu Qian, "How can you talk like this? Be more restrained."
"What are you holding back?" Liu Qian looked like she didn't understand. On the contrary, she asked curiously, "Sister Jian'an has been divorced. Do you care about these things?"
As soon as her words came out, the surroundings quieted down. The colleague who joked with me just now also found an excuse to leave, leaving Liu Qian standing next to my desk.
Liu Qian stood still and didn't leave. She pretended to be confused and said, "It's strange. I wanted to know about you just now, but now it's you who have left."
Hearing her words, I felt very uncomfortable. My hand, which was holding the mouse, slowly tightened. Although I looked at the computer screen in front of me, I was lost in thought. Until Liu Qian began to call me again, "Sister Chelsea, are you angry?" "If I'm angry, I'll apologize. But I don't think it's worth it. It's a fact, isn't it?"
Her laughter echoed in my ears, but I could hear the irony in her voice.
I lowered my head and chuckled. I relaxed my hand and looked up at him. "But your words are obviously worth my anger."
The sudden attack made Liu Qian stunned, but she soon came to her senses and said to me with grievance, "Sister Chelsea, don't be angry. I won't say it again, okay?"
"What if I can't?" I asked her with a smile.
