A pleasingly plump secretary vs. a cold, abstinent boss.
This is a story where the seemingly dominant person in control of the entire situation ultimately gets pulled down from their pedestal...
Chapter 159 Cocktail Party
He Xiaowei observed for a few days and found that Yu Huan still went to work and came home every day as usual, with a stable mood and no ups and downs.
There was no movement from Meng Han, as if nothing had happened.
This made him a little puzzled. Could it be that the medicine was not enough?
It seems he needs to take drastic measures.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the intercom.
Yu Huan heard the phone ringing outside the door. He picked up the phone and heard He Xiaowei's voice from inside.
"I'm going to a cocktail party tonight, you come with me."
"good."
In the afternoon, He Xiaowei came out of the office and looked Yu Huan up and down when he passed by her.
Yu Huan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, "Why are you looking at me like a pig during Chinese New Year?"
He Xiaowei blinked and said, "Your analogy is very appropriate. Pack up and come with me."
Yu Huan didn't understand why, but since her boss had spoken, she had no choice but to do as she was told.
After following He Xiaowei out of the company and getting into his car, she finally remembered to ask, "Where are we going?"
He Xiaowei didn't answer her and took her directly to his home.
Yu Huan looked at Li Xiaoman, who was already waiting in the living room and smiled warmly when she saw her enter the room. She had a bad feeling.
"What do you two want to do?"
He Xiaowei sighed, "Don't worry, I won't sell you out. Today's cocktail party is quite formal, and you're my female companion. You can't just go there dressed like this. Let Sister Xiaoman clean you up."
Yu Huan looked at the dresses spread out on the sofa, feeling a bit speechless. "You're too stingy! People who attend cocktail parties always take their female companions to high-end spas for hairstyling, and you really don't want to spend a dime."
Li Xiaoman slapped her, "Don't you like me?"
Yu Huan immediately laughed: "I wouldn't dare."
It must be said that Li Xiaoman's craftsmanship was quite good, at least not worse than the makeup shops she had been to. Her figure was similar to Yu Huan's, and her clothes fit Yu Huan perfectly.
Two hours later, Yu Huan looked at himself in the dressing mirror and sucked in his stomach.
She was wearing a black halter dress with a slim fit and a slightly fishtail-like shape on her legs, which highlighted her curvy figure.
It looks good, but you have to keep your stomach in all the time.
"Your hair is so nice." Li Xiaoman touched Yu Huan's hair and sighed.
Yu Huan's hair was indeed very good. She had never dyed or permed it before. It was the purest black, shiny and thick. Now it was permed into a big wave and draped behind her, adding a bit of charm to her that she didn't usually have.
"It seems like something is missing." Li Xiaoman glanced at her and her eye fell on her earlobe.
"By the way, you have pierced ears, so you can wear earrings." As she said that, she took out a pair of earrings from the jewelry box and put them on Yu Huan.
The earrings are gorgeous, with tassel pendants full of diamonds, but they don’t look out of place in her dark hair at all, and they make her look even more charming.
"It looks good!" Li Xiaoman clapped her hands, very satisfied with her results.
He Xiaowei took a look and nodded in praise, "Not bad!"
Yu Huan also thought she was pretty, but also felt a little strange. Normally, when there were cocktail parties like this where a female companion was required, He Xiaowei would always call Li Xiaoman. Why did he call her today?
"Why don't you let Sister Xiaoman go?"
Li Xiaoman exchanged glances with He Xiaowei, then raised her hand to pick her nose. "Well... I've been straining my lumbar muscles lately, so I can't stand for long periods of time."
Yu Huan nodded in understanding, "That's true. You need to get some rest and do less housework."
Li Xiaoman nodded quickly, "That's right."
When I came out of He Xiaowei's house, it was already half past six, and there was still an hour and a half before the cocktail party.
It is autumn now and it gets dark quickly outside. At this time, lights are on in thousands of houses and the lights of cars on the road are flashing alternately.
Yu Huan looked at the vehicles passing by outside the window from time to time, and suddenly saw a car of the same model as the one he saw at the entrance of the community a few days ago, and his heart trembled.
Before I could even breathe, I had overtaken the car. The driver's window was down, and a strange man was sitting inside.
Yu Huan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was just a similar car, but it could cause such a big reaction in her. If she really saw him, could she still stand calmly in front of him?
An hour later, Yu Huan stood at the entrance of the cocktail party and saw a figure standing in the crowd and chatting with someone from afar. His foot froze in place and he was unable to move.
It took her a while to catch her breath and she turned to look at He Xiaowei beside her.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
He Xiaowei pretended not to know, "What do you mean by intentional?"
Yu Huan took a deep breath and retracted her questioning. Even if he did it on purpose, so what? She had already come here, she couldn't just run away now.
When I'm not seeing someone, I miss them so much in my heart, and these are memories and images that I can't suppress no matter what.
But when she saw people, she suddenly became timid again, and didn't even dare to look at him for fear of bumping into him.
She wanted to see him because she missed him.
She didn't want to see him because she was afraid to see any emotion in his eyes, whether happy or unhappy, she couldn't bear it.
She avoided Meng Han the whole time, but fortunately the party was big enough with many people, so she could hide for a while.
However, the new company and the old company had many common clients, so it was inevitable that they would meet each other, and finally they met face to face in a corner of the cocktail party.
Meng Han was alone, without a female companion or assistant, and was chatting and laughing with a client while holding a glass of wine.
The customer turned around and saw He Xiaowei, and waved at him, "Mr. He, come quickly, your old boss is here, you have to come and say hello."
The customer thought the two had a falling out and was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.
Meng Han looked over in the direction of his voice, glanced at He Xiaowei, and was stunned.
Yu Huan and He Xiaowei originally had their backs to the two of them. There were many people at the party, and everyone was walking around, so she didn't notice that Meng Han had come behind her without her knowing.
When he heard the voice and turned around, he met those eyes and his mind was suddenly confused.
Unable to think, unable to breathe, unable to move, she didn't even know what expression she should make.
It was only when He Xiaowei quietly pushed her that she reacted.
She suppressed her frantic heartbeat, tried to keep a natural expression, and followed He Xiaowei forward.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Meng." She took the initiative to greet them.
Mr. Yang seemed to have just recognized her, with a look of surprise on his face, "This is Secretary Yu. You look so beautiful today."
Yu Huan nodded, smiled at him, and then lowered his head.
She could feel that Meng Han's eyes were on her. Since he saw her, his eyes had never left her.
Yu Huan was nervous and a little angry.
If you don't accept her, why bother looking at her!
