Chapter 3 — Don't Wait For Someone Who Doesn't Choose You

Also good. The two of them took forever to finish ordering, without even asking me a question from start to finish. I'm too lazy to speak up, anyway, I don't have any appetite, this is probably the last meal I'll have with Pho Than. Just eat a few bites to keep your stomach from tormenting you. But each dish was served, Duong Niem Nhat ate and drank passionately and kept praising the deliciousness, while I didn't bother to move my chopsticks. There's a whole table of food, not hot spicy food, but seafood, or deliciously sweet cakes. Just looking at it made my stomach start to hurt. Duong Niem Nhat excitedly peeled a whole plate of shrimp and pushed it in front of me: "Thu Dao, I see you haven't eaten anything yet, hehe, are you too lazy to peel it? I'll peel it for you~" The salty fishy smell hit me, I frowned and covered my nose: "No need, I don't like to eat. You two just go ahead and eat, I'll go to the bathroom for a moment." Vomiting a few times, the fishy smell that lingered on the tip of my nose completely disappeared. I wiped the tears from my eyes from vomiting and walked out. Unexpectedly, Pho Than was waiting for me at the door. I tried to suppress my discomfort and forced a smile: "I'm okay, don't worry, go in with Niem Niem, she..."

“Khuong Thu Dao.”

The Deputy God called both my full name and my first name.

“I just praised you for your understanding, but now you're deliberately making things difficult for Niem Niem, showing that unpleasant face for anyone to see?”

“I have a stomachache…” I explained.

But the explanation fell on Pho Than's biased eyes, which suddenly became pale and weak. He said: "You're very good at dealing with tough CEOs at the banquet table, but when it's your turn to be gentle with a little girl, can't you do it too? Khuong Thu Dao, where did your EQ go?" I held my stomach, my voice was very light: "So what do you want me to do?"

“Eat the whole plate of shrimp.”

4 I followed Pho Than back to the guard room. He bowed his head and walked in his tall shadow. In the past, when receiving guests, no matter how big the project the other person was holding, if I said one word about stomach pain, Pho Than would stop every glass of wine for me. I looked at the opponent's slightly offended face and reminded Pho Than. At that time he said:

“A high EQ cannot change your health, you are the most important thing.”

I secretly opened my phone to see, the red stamped resignation confirmation had not yet been sent, I was still not considered a free person. To avoid any problems, in this game, I must maintain my "high EQ". Duong Niem Nhat's eyes were red, her makeup was slightly smudged, and at a glance, she knew she had just cried. I curled my lips into a standard smile. First, apologize, then explain, then say polite and pleasant words. A smooth flowing action sequence. Duong Niem Nhat's self-pitying eyebrows relaxed, and the cold aura on Pho Than's body also disappeared. Finally, I brought up the plate of shrimp. Trying to suppress the nausea, I swallowed them one by one. Soon after eating more than half of the plate, Pho Than frowned and reached out to stop him: "Okay." The atmosphere at the dining table became lively again, Pho Than and Duong Niem Nhat continued to talk and laugh happily. I hugged my stomach, which was reacting violently, and my face was as white as paper. When I looked up, I discovered that Pho Than had gone somewhere, Duong Niem Nhat was smiling and looking at me.

“Thu Dao, it's actually me I really have to thank you.”

“What?”

“If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met such a high-quality man.”

Duong Niem Nhat raised his eyebrows and gently shook his wrist. Only then did I notice that the bracelet she was wearing was the same brand as the bracelet Pho Than had just given me. To be precise, mine was a freebie. The wrist where the bracelet was worn suddenly felt like an electric shock, both hot and numb.
