Chapter 2 — Going on a blind date and bumping into the General Boss
I glanced at my watch a third time, and he finally stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you home." I was so touched that I almost burst into tears: “That's so embarrassing, I'm so sorry—” “Aren't you in a hurry?” Diem Thoi spoke in a monotone voice, but no matter what I heard, I didn't see much goodwill. I immediately closed my mouth and carefully got into the passenger seat of his Bentley. Although the atmosphere was somewhat magical and forced, in my heart joy still prevailed. Think about it, how many people have their boss drive them home? The opportunity is as rare as winning the jackpot! The car stopped below the apartment complex, I thanked him profusely and happily jumped down. Diem Thoi looked at me and seemed to laugh: "It's a small matter, no need to thank me." "Of course I have to thank you! Don't you know, my Phat Tai's sulking is very troublesome, if I come back even a little late, he'll be angry—"Immediately seeing Diem Thoi's cold eyes, I wanted to jump out of the car myself. A moment later, he asked calmly: "Phat Tai?" His eyes clearly said - I'll drive your Bentley home, just let you walk the dog around town? 3 I was a bit awkward: "Or... Director Diem, will you come along too?" Diem Thoi's eyes looked at me a few degrees colder. This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, didn't it just cost you a little gas money, why do you need to react so badly? I finally understood: "So... let me invite you to dinner later?" Diem Thoi then nodded, turned the steering wheel and left. Even though inviting Diem Thoi to dinner would make me unable to swallow and my wallet would shed tears, but thinking about it another way, consider it like paying for a private driver! Anyway, going to Bentley is not an everyday thing. But I have to say it again, just for Diem Thoi's face, it really should be charged by the hour. After thinking that, my mood improved. As soon as he got home, Phat Tai rushed out like the wind. Phat Tai is a Samoyed, one year old and two months old, with a muscular body. Even though she's a bit cheeky sometimes, she's so pretty that it's easy to forgive her. I took him down to the playground for half an hour, but he didn't come back, so in the end he took me for another half hour. When I got home, I collapsed on the sofa exhausted, opened my phone and posted a status: "I admit defeat, top beauty always has the right to be arbitrary." A minute later, Tan Dao immediately called: "Wow! Are you two progressing so quickly?" ??? I was confused: "I said Phat Tai." Tan Dao: “…Troublesome.” I woke up and quickly looked at that post again. Diem Thoi was relieved. Diem Thoi has lost his heart!?! Damned! I'm praising the dog, not you, and not even a confession! But how can this statement be explained to Diem Thoi? Unless I don't want to work at this company anymore. So I chose the quickest way: immediately delete the post. That night I dreamed that Diem Thoi was driving a Bentley, and I was chasing after him, almost dead tired. It felt exactly like when being led away by Phat Tai. The next morning, I with panda eyes and a bored heart dragged myself to the company. My colleague Duong Duong gave me a cup of coffee: "Tu Tu, didn't sleep well last night? Let's drink a cup of coffee to wake up." I hesitated. Duong Duong joined the company at the same time as me, and was quite close before, but since I felt that he intended to pursue me, I proactively kept my distance. Not my style, but this type of person... what, a bit of a "central air conditioner". "I only drink latte, but thank you." Duong Duong did not give up, still smiling and approaching: "That's even better, a new coffee shop has opened near the company, I heard it's quite good, there's also a grill next door, let's try it tonight?" I started to feel annoyed and was about to refuse when a low, cold voice rang out from behind: "Miss
Do you have an appointment today?" I turned around: "Director Diem?" Diem Thoi glanced faintly at Duong Duong, then looked at me: "Didn't you say you would invite me to eat?" Of course, if you have an urgent matter, you can reschedule." 4What are you kidding, who would be so bold as to dare to compete with Diem Thoi? Duong Duong awkwardly took a step back: "Tu Tu, so you already have an appointment with Director Diem." I just wish I couldn't hold Diem Thoi's hand and scream: "Thank you, comrade, for saving my life!" Although yesterday I just said it out loud, but now that my boss is helping me, there's no reason not to cooperate fully! I turned to Diem Thoi and offered a sincere smile that was a bit... flattering: "It's not like that, I don't have any other appointments, and even if I did, how could it be as important as you?" I held up the phone: "What do you want to eat?" I'll choose a few places to try.” “You can choose.” Diem Thoi replied. That's right, the capital's time is as precious as gold, how can it be wasted on these trivial matters? I patted my chest assuringly: “Don't worry! I will definitely choose a place that makes you satisfied!” Diem Thoi just said "yes" faintly. In the afternoon in the pantry, I heard a few colleagues gathering and chatting, their voices full of excitement: "Director Diem seems to be in a very good mood today!" "I think so too! Just now someone sent the wrong text. If he were a normal person, he would have been screwed, but now he's not angry at all!” “Oh my god! That face is already beautiful enough, but now it's even a little gentler, it's just—it's killing people!”
