Chapter 8: The person who gave me the bracelet is very important.
He put the dresses from the other shopping bags on the bed into the closet, and at the very bottom of the bags he saw a bracelet with star pendants.
Is it hers?
He didn't give me this bracelet.
It looks like it's made of platinum, but the clasp seems to be broken.
Xu Si'an casually put it into his suit pocket.
Qiao Xu returned to her office, packed her bag, and while reapplying her lipstick, she discovered that her left wrist was completely bare.
Where is my bracelet?
Qiao Xu frantically searched the office, dumping her neatly packed bag onto the table.
It was still there when I left this morning.
"Where is it? Where did it fall?"
There was none under the desk, on the carpet, or in the corner.
Qiao Xu's eyes were a little red, and she nervously clasped her hands together.
When Xu Si'an walked over, he found that Qiao Xu's office door was open and she was squatting on the floor...
They were looking for a bracelet.
He patted his pocket: "What are you doing?"
Qiao Xu looked up, her reddened eyes stinging Xu Si'an.
"Looking for something."
"Mr. Xu, I've lost my bracelet. May I ask if you can find my lounge?"
Xu Si paused for two seconds, then turned to the side and said, "Okay."
Qiao Xu stood up and jogged to the office next door.
“A bracelet is more important than me.”
He gathered the things from his desk into her bag and carried them out of the office.
Only after a moment did I realize what I had done.
Go back again?
"Damn it, Xu Si'an, you're fucking insane."
Some things just become habits, and habits can be terrifying.
He was carrying a bag that was getting a little hot, and he didn't know whether to throw it away or not, but it was really damn awkward.
When Xu Si'an returned to the office, he saw Qiao Xu with her head down: "Why isn't it there? It was clearly there this morning."
"you······"
Qiao Xu saw him come in, still holding her bag in her hand.
Taken aback and surprised, she reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you."
"Mr. Xu, when you were changing clothes just now, did you see a platinum bracelet with a star pendant on it?"
Xu Si'an replied calmly, "No."
Seeing the redness in her eyes, he felt a little reluctant: "Is that bracelet very expensive?"
"Not expensive."
"That······"
Qiao Xu tidied her hair: "The person who gave me the bracelet is very important."
Xu Si's hand, which was in his pocket, tightened its grip on the bracelet, and he suddenly became a little impatient: "How important is it?"
Qiao Xu paused for a few seconds, then answered without any emotion, "I love you very much."
like?
She said she loved the person who gave her the bracelet.
Then he's nothing.
"A man?" he insisted on asking.
"Um."
Qiao Xu didn't have the mind to take care of his feelings at this moment, but having dinner with her boss and business partners was her job.
"Mr. Xu, we're almost late for the dinner."
Xu Si'an glanced at her coldly and walked out, with Qiao Xu following behind him carrying her bag.
He originally thought that going out to eat would require her to drive his luxury car.
After all, he's her boss; she can't expect her boss to drive her around.
When the elevator reached the underground parking lot, Qiao Xu noticed a black Mercedes-Benz van parked closest to the elevator entrance.
The driver's door was open from the back seat; the driver wasn't the one who was in the accident yesterday.
Xu Si'an got into the car, while Qiao Xu stood still.
Which seat should she sit in?
Logically, she should have sat in the back seat with her boss for easier work communication.
However, she didn't want to get so close to him.
"What are you standing there for? Do you want me to invite you into the car?"
Qiao Xu opened the passenger door, got into the car, and fastened her seatbelt.
"Hello, I'm Qiao Xu, Mr. Xu's new assistant."
The driver glanced at the man in the back seat.
"Why are you looking at me? Assistant Qiao is greeting you, not me."
The new assistant has a clear understanding of her role and is very adaptable to her new identity.
Driver: ...Are you on drugs?
"Hello, Assistant Qiao. I'm Mr. Xu's driver. My name is Song Jia. You can just call me Xiao Song."
"You're Mr. Xu's driver, so what about that uncle from yesterday?"
Xu Si'an: ? ? ?
Have you started chatting?
Or he could drive them around and let them sit in the back and have a good chat.
"That's my uncle. He went to fix Mr. Xu's car."
A slightly cold male voice sounded from inside the car: "Are you going to drive or not?"
Xiao Song quickly pressed the close button: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu."
On the bus, Qiao Xu kept trying to remember where she had lost her bracelet.
It was still there when I left home in the morning, and it was still there when I arrived at the company.
During lunchtime...
In her three-person secretary group chat, she asked the other two people she was having lunch with: "Xin Xin, Xiao Rou, did you see me wearing a bracelet during lunch?"
Ye Yurou: [We were all wearing long sleeves, so we didn't notice.]
Fang Kexin: [You lost your bracelet? Have you checked the office?]
[We've looked, but it's not there.]
Xu Si'an's gaze was directly on Qiao Xu's position, and he could see the phone screen.
He made a point of sitting in an inside seat when he got on the bus, but he didn't expect someone to be so inconsiderate.
"Assistant Qiao, did you use your phone on the way to meet clients with your boss?"
Qiao Xu paused for a moment, then put away her phone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu."
“I rarely accompanied Mr. Zhou to meet clients before.”
The car stopped at the hotel, and Xiao Song asked, "Mr. Xu, would you like me to accompany you inside?"
Song Jia is not only Xu Si'an's driver, but also Xu Si'an's personal assistant. He used to accompany Xu Si'an to dinner parties.
"No need, go eat, and come back in two hours."
Qiao Xu got off the bus with her bag, and before leaving, she and Song Jia added each other as WeChat friends.
Seeing this, Xu Si'an became jealous again.
When he, her direct supervisor, added her on WeChat, she was slow to reply, but she was very proactive in adding other people on WeChat.
Inside the private room, six business partners arrived, two of whom brought female companions.
When Xu Si'an stopped, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Sorry, I'm late."
One of the business partners, who was accompanied by a female companion, said, "It's not late, it's not late. We're just too early."
"Go quickly and pour Mr. Xu a glass of wine."
The woman next to him stood up, but Xu Si'an raised his hand to stop her: "No need, Mr. Liu, I have a female companion."
Qiao Xu understood, picked up the wine decanter on the table, and poured half a glass for Xu Si'an and herself.
Qiao Xu ordered all the food in advance.
The topic of discussion at the dinner table was this collaborative project.
Qiao Xu felt disgusted when she saw her business partner making unwanted advances towards her female companion.
Plus, I was in a bad mood because I lost my bracelet.
During the meal, Qiao Xu also drank four and a half glasses of red wine.
I've attended many dinners and drinking parties in recent years, and I also often go to bars and lounges for a few drinks, so my alcohol tolerance is pretty good.
Moreover, Xu Si'an, as the boss, had to drink when the business partners offered toasts, let alone her, a lowly assistant.
Qiao Xu disapproved of these groping incidents, but the other party was a business partner.
She whispered to Xu Si'an, "Mr. Xu, I'm going to the restroom."
Xu Si'an gave a light "hmm" with no expression.
As Qiao Xu turned to leave with her phone in hand, one of the slightly overweight men kept staring at her buttocks.
Xu Si'an caught the greedy and lewd gaze.
His aura grew even colder.
"Mr. Xu, your female companion is very beautiful. May I ask who she is?"
Xu Si'an stood up with a cold face: "My girlfriend."
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
