62.5% Becoming A Real Bigshot After Abandoned / Chapter 25: 025 Lighter

章節 25: 025 Lighter

編輯: Dragon Boat Translation

Xia Jin's pupils contracted slightly when she saw the booklet that Huo Jue had thrown out.

She suddenly understood the reason for Huo Jue's anger.

As the saying goes, accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. Most men in high positions, who were arrogant and conceited, did not like to be seen through.

Xia Jin got hold of some of Huo Jue's habits. Huo Jue must have felt offended after she told Annie about it.

How childish.

Xia Jin's eyes were tinged with a touch of mockery.

However, she was not flustered, and her tone remained calm. "Sister Lan said that she was afraid that the new secretary would not know about your habits, so I gave her this booklet. I was also worried that you would not be used to having a new secretary. This has nothing to do with Annie."

Huo Jue looked at her with a half-smile. His eyes seemed to be icy-cold. "Oh, so you are quite concerned about me? Should I thank you?"

Xia Jin stood up straight. "I wouldn't dare. You've taken care of me for the past few years. This is what I should do."

Xia Jin's answer was watertight. Huo Jue looked at the woman's perfect mask-like expression and did not know how to continue his outburst.

Seeing that Annie was still in the room, Huo Jue waved his hand impatiently. "You, get out."

Annie was like a frightened bunny. She looked at Xia Jin worriedly and left the office.

With Xia Jin and Huo Jue left alone face to face, not only did the atmosphere not ease up, but it also became more oppressive.

Huo Jue lifted his eyelids lazily and sized Xia Jin up. "Do you think that I can't do without you?"

Xia Jin froze for a second before becoming somewhat speechless in her heart.

Was this man just bad-tempered, or was he narcissistic?

She had spent two nights writing this booklet so that she could get her new secretary to serve him properly, and in Xia Jin's opinion, Huo Jue should be thanking her for it.

She did not expect that Huo Jue would misunderstand her so much.

She deeply wished to cut off all contact with Huo Jue for the rest of her life. How could she deliberately let the new secretary remind Huo Jue of her?

Xia Jin suppressed her emotions and shook her head slowly. "I'm just an insignificant existence by your side. You can easily find any kind of subordinate you want. I'm not that presumptuous."

Huo Jue had taken a lighter out at some point. Xia Jin's pupils constricted slightly by the sight of it. She had bought this lighter for Huo Jue four years ago. As it was a limited edition, she had waited in line for a long time to get it.

The quality of this lighter was very good. It hadn't broken in the four years Huo had used it.

Huo Jue tossed the lighter up and caught it slowly.

Then, he flickered gently it, and the lighter fell into the trash can with a dull sound.

Xia Jin's heart sank abruptly.

Her heart, which was already numb, began to feel a trace of undetectable bitterness.

Perhaps in Huo Jue's eyes, the four years she had been by his side were just like this lighter, and it wouldn't be a pity to throw it away.

Xia Jin retracted her gaze quickly. There was not a single fluctuation on her face.

Huo Jue had originally taken out this lighter to light his cigarette. However, he remembered that this lighter was bought by the woman in front of him.

Just like her, it had accompanied him for countless days and nights.

And now, Xia Jin had left.

Huo Jue did not know why, but a surge of anger and gloom welled up in his heart. Then, he threw the lighter away without thinking.

When he threw it away, the pressure in his heart eased, and he felt a little refreshed. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Jin.

But to his surprise, Xia Jin's eyes did not change in the slightest.

Was she not angry?

The easiness that Huo Jue had just felt was suddenly gone, and his entire face sank again.

"Since you're so fond of meddling in my affairs, I'll give you a chance to go to a banquet with me tomorrow." Huo Jue's tone could not be described as bad, it could be considered overbearing.

Xia Jin frowned. She still had to work tomorrow. Besides, she had already resigned. Why was she still at Huo Jue's beck and call?

Xia Jin was about to refuse when Huo Jue seemed to have read her mind. "Whether you have time or not is your business. I want to see you appear in front of me tomorrow."

Xia Jin knew that she could not oppose Huo Jue.

She let out a long sigh, as she walked out of Huo Jue's office,

Annie was still waiting outside the door for her, cautiously. When she saw Xia Jin, Annie looked at her apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Sister Xia Jin. I messed up."

Xia Jin shook her head. "It's none of your business."

The two of them walked to the elevator. Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Jin advised, "You have high qualifications, and there are plenty of good jobs available for you."

After reassuring Annie, Xia Jin called Gao Lan and told her that Huo Jue might be changing his secretary again.

Gao Lan wailed immediately, "It can't be?!"

Xia Jin hung up the phone after comforting Gao Lan.

Back at the jewelry store, Xia Jin had to ask the store manager for a leave of absence shamelessly. The next day, she changed her clothes and called Huo Jue before going to the banquet.

Not long after, the driver, Old Liang's car, drove up to her door.
