Chapter 37 Pretending To Be Weak
Andy was so angry that she was in a low mood the whole afternoon.
It was not until it was about to get off work that Susan plucked up the courage to talk to her. “Amy, do we have to work overtime tonight?”
Andy stopped what she was doing and looked up at other colleagues who were ready to move. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “it’s okay. I can make it by myself. You can go off work with your colleagues.”
It was already good to help under pressure, and there was no reason to squeeze the time after work.
“Thank you, Amy!”
After getting the pardon from Andy, Susan began to pack up at 6pm and was ready to go home to accompany her parents and spend the Friday night well.
As soon as she stood up and walked out, she saw that Helen was standing at the door with several colleagues, carrying bags of food.
“Susan” greeted warmly, as if she had never made a mistake.
“Miss Mo.” Susan pulled the straps on her shoulder and smiled unnaturally.
She was the daughter of the bank president and half boss of the company. Everyone had to be careful when facing their boss, and she was no exception.
However, Helen walked up to her and held her arm naturally. She complained, “Why are you so alienated? We will be colleagues from now on. Just call me Helen!”
“We are the same. You can’t treat me differently because of my father. I’m here to learn something and make friends. Nice to meet you!”
Susan twitched her mouth stiffly and didn’t know what to say. She just felt uncomfortable being held by her arms.
Other colleagues quickly adapted to it and greeted each other with a smile.
“You’re welcome. Let’s learn from each other!”
“That’s right. With your education background, it’s not sure who will teach you, right?”
“Yes, welcome!”
The smile on Helen seemingly innocent but deep, and she looked easy to get along with.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something and quickly introduced the logistics personnel behind her, “Oh, I almost forget that these are colleagues of the logistics group. Now Amy has resumed her original position, and the time for the exhibition is tight. Amy is a workaholic. I don’t think she will let you go back on weekend. I just want to send some food and drinks, in case you don’t get used to staying up all night!”
When Andy was about to say something to show that she didn’t mean it, her colleagues acquiesced first.
“Wow, you are so considerate, aren’t you?”
“I know that in the special period, there is no weekend for the workers!”
“Be satisfied! Every white-collar worker work overtime now. We are good. With such a good colleague as Helen, everything has been arranged well. There is no worries, just do it with our life!”
“Well, that’s true. I’m still very sad at the thought of working overtime. My dear weekend, goodbye!”
Andy opened her mouth but didn’t say anything in the end. She saw that under the crowd, Helen distributed living goods like a kind person.
She shook her head with self mockery and turned her attention to the painting again.
When they were almost gone, she walked towards Andy with a set of living goods.
“Amy, this is yours.”
“Thank you. Just put it on the table.” Without raising her head, she didn’t go on.
“Amy, are you still angry with me?”
Andy paused and smiled.
From beginning to end, it was all Susan’s trick. They had known each other well and tacitly didn’t mention it, and they could maintain the seemingly safe.
But she insisted that there was a very poor lie which reveals the truth and pretended to be innocent. She really didn’t want to cooperate.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Why angry?” Andy turned around and looked at her expressionlessly. “I am angry that I have no enmity with you, but I almost lose my reputation because of you. Or I am angry that you came to the design department to help me as soon as you became the president’s assistant and let everyone think that I am an inhuman boss? It’s good to pretend to be weak and act as a hero.”
With a gentle smile on her face and clear eyes, she looked like a doll that didn’t hide anything. “Amy, what are you talking about? You are the first friend I made when I entered the workplace. How can I hurt you?”
With a sneer, she turned around and said sarcastically, “such an excellent acting skill. It’s a pity that I don’t work in the entertainment circle.”
The joy of success flashed through Helen’s eyes, but she quickly hid it and said in a good temper, “then I’ll take it as Amy praising me for being beautiful. Thank you!”
“I won’t bother you anymore. I have something to deal with in the CEO’s office. I’m leaving now. Call me if you need anything…”
“Bye.” Said Andy irritably.
As soon as Helen got what she wanted, she turned around and walked out in her high heels.
Susan had seen all this with her own eyes. She stared at the figure of Helen for a long time. When she came to her senses, she suddenly looked at Andy and shouted in righteous indignation, “Amy, I believe you. I know you are a good person!”
After a short pause, she looked at the young girl in front of her and was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she smiled and nodded, “thank you.”
1am.
At the most difficult moment of the whole night, all the people in the design department stopped and had a simple rest.
Jane remembered that Andy had lost a lot of weight after working overtime before, so she sent the midnight snack here at this time. It happened that Andy also wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she went downstairs to get it.
When she went downstairs, she found that the first child was also here.
They chatted for a while. Afraid that they couldn’t call her later, Andy asked them to go back first.
She stood at the entrance of the company and watched them walk to the roadside to take a taxi.
At this time, a black Benz slowly stopped beside them.
After the car stopped, Bill and Bob got off one after another.
When Bill walked straight to the company, Bob took a casual glance at Jane and the child on the roadside. When he saw him, he frowned in confusion. Then he turned around and found that they had already been in a taxi.
“It’s so weird. How could they look like each other so much…” Bob muttered to himself in a low voice. He didn’t notice that Bill stopped and almost bumped into him.
“How did you make it? No matter when I came back, you could always run into me successfully?” Standing in front of Andy, he said in a voice with sarcasm.
Andy rolled her eyes. “Mr. Huo, don’t you want to be so confident? It’s you who asked the design department to work overnight. It’s you who don’t want to see me in the company. Don’t you think you are contradictory?”
Without waiting for his reply, she walked into the company.
With a mad face, he stood still. His face darkened.
Bob couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Hahaha, Bill, sometimes you are also speechless because of being scolded?”
