Love Envelope In Lies, chapter two

At dinner, mother and daughter sat around the table. “Mom, even the five-star chefs out there can’t beat your cooking!”

Michelle praised as she ate. Then he took a few more bites and chewed them. Seeing her daughter eating with good appetite, Olivia felt sorry for her.

She knew that, in fact, her daughter didn’t want to worry her, so she deliberately disguised it. She didn’t know the young man’s mind, so she couldn’t say anything. But she’d also experienced something like this, which was even more painful and terrible than her daughter’s.

“Mom, what are you thinking?”

Seeing that her mother was stunned, Michelle couldn’t help but wake her up. “Oh, I was thinking about what kind of food I should prepare for you tomorrow. After all, it’s not easy to get home once you’re there. I must make you a good meal. The food outside isn’t good. You should eat more now. “ She put the chicken wings in Michelle’s bowl with a friendly smile. However, when she heard what her mother said, Michelle suddenly lowered her chopsticks. He looked at his mother seriously and said, “Mother, when I come back this time, I don’t want to go abroad anymore. After all, there’s nothing important at school. “ However, what he said didn’t provoke Olivia’s surprise, which baffled her a little. “Mom, aren’t you glad I’m back?” After a long silence, Olivia said, “No matter what you do, I’ll always support you. It’s good to have you back. You can stay close to home and eat more delicious food cooked by me in the future. “ “Yeah!” After hearing what her mother said, Susan smiled again. After dinner, Michelle insisted on doing the dishes with her mom. “Well Mom, you can go in the living room and watch TV.” Finally, Olivia was evicted by her daughter. He had no choice but to enjoy his life. Before going to bed, he discovered that the light in Michelle’s room was still on. Then she walked over and knocked on the door. “Michelle, are you still awake?” “Well, Mom, I’m looking for a job on the Internet. I finished school, I can’t stay home all day. “ The inner door wasn’t closed. Anyway, there were only two women in the house. There was nothing to hide. However, Olivia didn’t open the door. When Michelle was absorbed in searching for a job on the computer, she didn’t notice the movement outside either. She had been concentrating on the job search, but was drawn to the news window that suddenly appeared. It was about their wedding. Just looking at the photo of his intimacy made her feel angry. He hurriedly closed the window after the door opened. However, Olivia entered and saw the scene. So as not to embarrass his daughter, he pretended not to know. He put the warm milk on Michelle’s table and said, “It’s not good for your health to stay up late. Mom made the milk for you. Drink it while it’s hot.” “Good.” Michelle pouted and stuck out her tongue mischievously. Olivia was amused by his expression, but before leaving, he hadn’t forgotten to ask her to go to bed early. Olivia didn’t leave until Michelle thanked her again and again. Apparently, at that time, Michelle had no interest in finding a job. She just sent several resumes to each company. After drinking the warm milk prepared by her mother, she lay down on the bed and covered her head with a quilt. This was her usual way of sleeping. The house was warm in winter and cool in summer, so it wasn’t stuffy at home. In another room, Olivia didn’t close her eyes until she saw the light go out from the room opposite. Of course, she knew why her daughter didn’t want to go abroad. There were too many memories there. Quartier du bonheur. It was half past nine in the morning. Olivia was a housekeeper, so she went to work before dawn. When Michelle heard the bell, she lowered things to open the door. “Emily?” The woman in front of the door wore a white casual dress, white canvas and a pink bag in her hand, beautiful and fashionable. She had an attractive figure and a sweet, charming look. “Michelle, do I miss you?” The woman outside opened her arms and gave Michelle a big hug. Michelle leaned her head against Emily’s shoulder with a big smile on her face. She met Emily when she was studying abroad and was drawn to her beauty and grace. Emily called her Snow. In Emily’s eyes, Michelle was as beautiful as winter snow, but her behavior made people cold. Holding Emily’s hand, Michelle was ready to take her home, but the person outside had no intention of entering. When she turned around, she discovered there were several large boxes behind Emily. Emily said nothing, but gave her eyes a clue about the luggage in front of the door. Michelle just smiled, helpless. She went out to carry those heavy suitcases. As he moved, he complained, “What’s so heavy inside?” Emily said nothing, but sat down on the living room sofa and looked around. From Michelle’s point of view, it was no longer surprising that she should behave this way. After all, the minds of strangers were always so unpredictable. “These things are yours.” Finally, after a long silence, Emily explained. The next second, Michelle’s eyes widened, “What?” He remembered he didn’t have that many things that held several large boxes. “Let me take care of school business after you get back. Do you know how tired I was for you? I don’t know what you need and there’s so much stuff in your room, so I’ll bring it to you. OMG, you don’t know how exhausting this is! ” Emily yelled at the end. “Well, I know you’re tired. This is your first time here. In return, I’m taking you out for a good time! “ When Emily heard the word “play,” she couldn’t help but stand up and applaud. Emily was very easy to please, but she also proved to be an innocent woman. For this international friend, when Olivia went home, she lost her sense of belonging. When Emily didn’t notice, she pulled Michelle aside and said, “Michelle, what does your friend like to eat? Would you like to buy some steaks? Why don’t you take it out and have some? “ Seeing her mother’s panic, Michelle couldn’t help but laugh. She put her arm around Olivia’s shoulder and said, “Mother, don’t worry about it. Although Emily is a foreigner, she loves Chinese food. “ “Okay, I’ll cook now.” As Olivia spoke, she grabbed the belt behind the kitchen door and tried to panic. “Mother, I’m going to take it off for fun. I’m afraid we can’t have dinner here. ” Michelle hugged her mother from behind and said. Actually, she didn’t want to go out to dinner, but she only had one day. After all, Emily had just moved here, so she had to familiarize herself with the surroundings. “Well, you can go out now. Come back early. ” Olivia was a little upset when she heard they’d dined out. No matter how sumptuous the food was, it had no flavor for just one person. At lunchtime, the two girls settled into a roadside stall, which was obviously Michelle’s style. He loved the food at the roadside stalls, not only because it was delicious, but also because the atmosphere here was so good. They walked hand in hand down the road to C City and attracted the attention of passers-by, especially men. Michelle knew this had been caused by her friend. Was her skin so white after all? Her skin was even whiter than milk, which dazzled her eyes directly. But Emily didn’t seem to know anything. She kept asking, “Why are you looking at us?” Michelle gave her a disdainful look and replied nonchalantly, “They’re looking at you.” “I?” Emily unconsciously pointed a finger at herself, and her blue eyes grew brighter and brighter. Not wanting to talk to her, Michelle just walked under the tree. At that moment, he saw two people not far away. Even if they turned to ash, she could still recognize them. Realizing Michelle was there as the attacked, Emily reached out and grabbed her arm, urging her to leave. However, Emily simply couldn’t do anything to her. When he looked in the direction of Michelle’s gaze, he saw someone! “Is it the heartbreaker? Michelle, let’s get it out of him. “ When they were abroad, there were no secrets between them. Emily knew Wyn from college. Back then, he often complained that Michelle preferred her lover to her friends. Apparently, the news of Wyn’s marriage had caused a worldwide sensation! Emily knew why Michelle had returned. But if it had been her, she’d have punched someone like Wyn. “No, Emily, let’s hurry up and get out of here.” She didn’t have the courage to face him. She wasn’t afraid of him. She simply couldn’t accept the fact. It wasn’t until Michelle left that Emily followed with her. He knew Michelle wasn’t in a good mood, so he tried to comfort her all the time. Finally, she suggested, “Let’s go to the bar!” For Michelle, bar wasn’t a strange word. But she’d never been to a bar before. It was my first time here. Emily was a bold girl. I knew Michelle didn’t like this place, but today was a special day for her. Bar. The loud music was deafening and the lights on the dance floor were blurry. Young men and women shook their heads. They were having a good time. Led by Emily, they sat down at the reception and Emily ordered two glasses of champagne. The atmosphere there put Michelle in a tense state. She was very scared. Emily took the champagne and put a glass in front of Michelle. “Relax, you’ve got me, right?” However, despite saying it, Michelle still couldn’t wake up from the tension. After college, Michelle found she had to go through a lot. He thought he’d soon be able to adjust to the bar’s atmosphere, but didn’t expect that he still couldn’t enjoy the bar’s beauty. Emily, who was drinking champagne with great interest, quickly became part of the romantic world. He stood up, took Michelle’s hand and headed for the center of the dance floor. Michelle shook her head. It was so loud inside that I couldn’t hear clearly what they were talking about. The sound of music, as if every beat of her heart was pounding. “Would you like to have a drink with me, miss?” Dressed in a suit, a strange man didn’t look bad. Michelle shook her head and smiled apologetically, “Sorry, I can’t drink.” Disdain was written all over the man’s face. “Do you think there’s anyone here who can drink? Women like you are pure on the surface, but you don’t know how dirty it is. “ “Sir, I’m coming with my friend.” After saying that, Michelle got up and was about to leave. But the next second, someone grabbed her wrist. She frowned in pain at the man’s strength. “You have to drink tonight, no matter what!” The man handed her the glass and his voice was clear without any disguise. His words managed to attract the attention of the people in the bar. This situation happened every day, and they were already used to it. The people here were all indifferent. Emily’s silhouette had disappeared early in the middle of the dance floor. By now, Michelle didn’t know where she was. “Clap,” there was a sharp sound, and a trace of disgust shone in her dark eyes. After being hit, the man became more energetic and the strength of his hand was stronger than before. Michelle struggled against the pain, but to no avail. “Let her go.” A cold voice came suddenly from behind the man. It sounded like he was in a cold South Pole, even in summer. The man didn’t stop what he was doing. He simply turned and looked at the person. Because he drank so much, he couldn’t even stop constantly. He started to wobble and couldn’t even stand up. The pub was ablaze with lights. Although unable to see his face, Michelle could feel it. He gave off a real aura. Michelle tried to escape several times, but failed. At that moment, the man next to him spoke: “What’s wrong with you? I’m teaching my wife a lesson. Do you want to get involved in this? “ Scott looked coldly at Michelle and said to the man, “Get out!” He said it lightly, but still made people feel his prestige. Even Michelle was scared. Until now, her heart had been beating wildly. “Say it one last time, get out!””Said Scott coldly and gave the man no chance to speak. At that moment, Emily also left the dance floor and saw a strange man grab Michelle. She was immediately furious. When he was close to them, he shouted, “How dare you intimidate my friend! You want to die! The man looked angrily at Emily in the crowd, then at Scott’s icy soapy face. He knew the situation wasn’t good, so he shook Michelle hard and ran. Michelle didn’t hold her feet for a moment and fell to the floor in a mess. There was a layer of sore skin on her elbow. It was so painful that he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. When Scott saw this, his heart missed a beat. He wanted to lift her off the floor, but someone had already left. Emily crouched down in front of Michelle. After looking at her injured elbow, he slowly lifted her and said, “Are you okay? Can you walk? “ Michelle didn’t speak, simply shook her head. When Emily was removed from the bar by Emily, she didn’t forget to look at Scott behind them as if to say, “Thank you.” After leaving the bar, Emily hailed a cab on the spot. Sitting in the car, Emily looked at the cuts on Michelle and apologized, “It’s my fault. I didn’t protect you properly. I shouldn’t have danced. Shit! “ Michelle grabbed Emily’s wrist and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Emily. It’s no big deal. I’m fine after getting a band-aid at home. “ Michelle smiled as relaxed as if the wound on her arm didn’t hurt at all. Although she said it, Emily was still worried. After she returned home, Olivia got out the alcohol and simply disinfected it before putting the bandage on the wound. Emily stayed in China for only two days, then left. When she left, they were so reluctant to leave that all they could do was wave and say goodbye. Someone said the separation was the most painful thing. After sending Emily away, Michelle’s life returned to its former calm. She repeated the same action every day. The next day, the sharp ringing broke the silence here. Michelle awoke from her slumber. He stared at his cell phone, which was still vibrating on the nightstand. He pressed his aching temple and reached for the phone. “Hello?” “Is this Michelle?. This is the Jiang Group. We received your resume on the Internet. Since you’re excellent in every way, come to my company for an interview at 9:30 this morning. “ Oh my God! Did I hear that right? The Jiang Group! There are some well-known companies in the world. Are there lots of people lining up? She was lucky. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the next to receive the interview invitation. “Michelle, are you there?” Seeing that no one was on the phone, the other party couldn’t help but interrupt her thoughts. After Michelle recovered, she replied, “Okay!” After simply washing her face, she pulled out the outfit she’d bought at her internship. It was a little dated, but it fit her well. She ran off without breakfast. She didn’t even make peace, but for a natural beauty like her, that was all about appearance. In a small meeting room. “Congratulations Michelle! You’ve been accepted by our company! “ Michelle put a slight smile on her face and shook hands with the other party. Then followed her colleagues to the designated office. Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe when she saw that closed door. “Boss, the new guy’s here.” “Let her in.” The office door slammed open. The woman standing next to Michelle left quickly. This was Michelle’s first job, so I was a little nervous. I’d worked part-time in small restaurants, but I’d never been in such a big company. The people sitting in the office seemed a little impatient. He said coldly, “Why are you still standing outside? If you don’t want this job, there are a lot of people behind you. “ Without daring when Michelle heard this, she rushed into the room. The office was very large. There was a desk lying in front of Michelle. Michelle couldn’t meet the man’s gaze. When she saw the flashy words on the table, she was immediately stunned! “CEO Scott!” He remembered she was just an assistant in the city’s finance department. Why did you come to such a high place? “Princeton University. Financial management. I’m 22.” The man in the chair turned around at the same time. Scott’s eyes were cold, making people not dare look directly at him. He studied Michelle from head to toe. He’d thought she’d be a beautiful girl after studying abroad. But she wasn’t. Especially the outfit she wore, which was so alluring. “You have good living conditions but bad taste.” Finally, the phrase came out of Scott’s mouth, but then it seemed that something had suddenly occurred to him, so he added: “From now on, you’re my private secretary.” You’re on a three-month trial period. If you can’t handle it well, I have the right to fire you at any time. “ “Good.” Michelle replied shyly.
