Chapter 6 — My Ex-Fiance and My Secret Lover

After lending it to him, I realized that he was a great student and took more complete notes than me. He shyly said:

“I'm afraid I missed something.”

Every Monday meeting, Luc Ngon comes down from upstairs to chair the meeting. He wore a well-tailored shirt, spoke slowly, concisely and strongly, carrying authority and a sense of control. I looked at him, a bit lost. Is this really the introverted guy that year who wore glasses, was white, and didn't like to talk? The image of the teenager in his memory and the elegant and strong man in front of him gradually overlapped, then separated again. Very quickly, rumors arose. In the tea room, I heard someone say sourly:

"What kind of talented woman? An ordinary college degree, no work experience, isn't that the kind of relationship that General Manager Luc brought in?"

I immediately ran away, feeling very uncomfortable, secretly wiping my tears. That night, I couldn't help but text Luc Ngon:

“Luc Ngon, am I causing trouble for you?”

He answered very quickly:

“No. You are the only one who can help me. This position has actually changed to many people, but only you can do this. I can feel it!”

I was encouraged so much that I immediately jumped up from bed and opened the computer again. I deleted all the content in the document that had been rejected countless times. Then, type down a new line of text.

Luc Ngon invited me to eat Japanese food. He was very worried and said he was afraid I was in a bad mood. It turned out that Tran Hang posted a photo of him and Luu Vi Vi going on their honeymoon to his friends circle. Luc Ngon thought I knew about this, so he always observed my emotions.

“Are you… okay?”

I said I've been too busy lately, my mind is full of work, and I don't even look at my friends circle. He quickly said:

“If I knew that, I wouldn't have told you.”

“Are they going to Bali?”

I asked.

“It seems so!”

I remember the pair of discounted first class tickets that I had to wait for half a month to get, the ocean view suite on the cliff that I booked a month in advance, and even the sunset dinner and double SPA each afternoon that I booked carefully one by one. The romantic trip I meticulously planned for two months, ended up with my "good friend" going with my ex-fiance, laughing and watching the clouds drift by. I quickly changed the topic, saying a new idea about the "Tieu Khong" project that I had just thought of. That was the thought I pondered all night. I said, before when Tran Hang and I first met, we used to talk on the phone every day, useless sentences could be said until midnight. At that time, I felt extremely attractive, no matter what I said the other person could remember, every sentence and every word was full of charm.

"The thing people miss most is actually the feeling of believing that they are shining in the other person's eyes. No matter what they say, it will make the other person find it interesting. The positioning of 'Tieu Khong' is to make users feel 'personal charm' when being loved by the other person. This is its appeal."

Luc Ngon always smiled at me:

"Are you planning on turning pain into productivity? This approach is really great!"

When I got home, I took a shower and sat in front of the computer to start writing the plan. The flow of thoughts, the sound of tapping The keyboard clicks non-stop. While writing to an important point, the phone screen lit up. The three words "Liu Vi Vi" are displayed on it. I stared at that name, let it ring for half a minute before answering the phone.

"Tieu Y, thank you for still answering my phone call. I want to explain to you, Tran Hang and I have nothing."

Liu Vi Vi said she didn't receive much love since she was young. Later, although there were many suitors, they all met people who were no good, and were cheated with money and love, and felt discouraged.

"This time back, I truly admire you, Tieu Y. So, when Tran Hang suddenly said those words to me, I was really shocked. I was suddenly confused by his appearance. Actually, he was just drinking too much and talking nonsense, he loves you..."

"My wedding photo with him is fake. He just wants to annoy you, wants you to come back! I thought he only sent the photo to you, but I didn't expect he posted it to his friends circle..."

"On this trip, he said the pre-booked tickets cannot be refunded. He asked me to go with him. I just saw that his condition was not good, so I agreed to go with him to relieve himself. The two of us are just friends, nothing happened, we all live in separate rooms. You trust me!"

“Oh, it's okay. You two have fun!”

I replied lightly and then hung up.

When inspiration comes, nothing can stop it. I grabbed my laptop and ran to knock on Luc Ngon's door. As soon as the door opened, a smell of wet shower gel wafted in. Luc Ngon seemed to hastily put on a bathrobe and opened the door, his hair was still wet.

"Quickly see, I've written a new version!"

He was stunned for a moment, his expression a bit unnatural.

“This late…”

I ignored him, rushed in like a gust of wind, opened the document directly, and then explained a bunch of things. After talking for half a day, I discovered that there was no movement nearby. Only then did I feel that Luc Ngon wasn't looking at the screen at all, it seemed like he was always staring at me. I turned my head to look at him.
