Chapter 3 — Online Lover Is Your Best Friend's Brother

After packing up, saying good night to my online lover, then lying down on the bed to prepare for sleep, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind. Incorrect. Why is the background in the online lover's video exactly like the bathroom here? Immediately after that, I shook my head, hastily banishing that scary thought. No way. Pho Chi Hanh is cold and distant, making people scared just by looking at him. And my online lover is a cute, clingy puppy. I would rather believe that the world is square than believe that they are the same person.

Because of what happened yesterday, I tossed and turned most of the night and couldn't sleep well. I intentionally woke up early, preparing to take advantage of the time Pho Chi Hanh hadn't woken up to leave. But it's true that the more you fear something, the more you encounter it. Just this morning, I saw the message from the eldest lady. 【Tay Tay, I have seriously explained and criticized my brother. To express my apology, today is your first day at work, I asked him to take you to the company. The boss of your internship company is your brother's buddy, go there so he can say hello.】 What? Absolutely no need! I typed a bunch of words to explain, but the eldest lady was still sleeping, completely invisible. I quickly washed my face, changed clothes, and ran downstairs. The man was already waiting. I ran out of breath to the window of the Rolls-Royce, tried to muster up my courage, and carefully explained to the man sitting in the car:

"General Director Pho, just go do your job, you don't need to take me there. I will explain carefully to Tieu Tieu, don't worry."

The man slightly raised his eyelids. He was about to say something when a child riding a toy car suddenly rushed towards him. I couldn't avoid it in time. The cup of coffee in his hand accidentally spilled onto the car, some of it even shot through the window, staining the man's smooth, wrinkle-free suit. I was so scared that I wanted to die. My life is over. Originally, the eldest lady's brother had a bad impression of me. This time it's even worse. Thinking about how the eldest lady always treated me well, I quickly took out a tissue and was about to give it to him. But he stopped me, only leaving me with a cold face.

"No need. Get in the car."

The voice does not allow objections. I had to swallow the next explanations back. Obediently open the car door.

"Sit in the back. Don't you know the passenger seat is for girlfriends?"

He looked at me without emotion. If it wasn't for my sister asking for help, he probably would have wanted to throw me under the bus right now. My face is hot.

“Sorry, Deputy General Director.”

I quickly sat in the back seat, my arms and legs were tight, sitting upright. While thinking about whether I should find something to talk about or not, the phone ringing suddenly interrupted my thoughts. The academic advisor called to ask if I had filled out the academy's statistical information. Waiting for me to finish talking, hanging up the phone and raising my head, I discovered the man looking at me without blinking through the rearview mirror. His eyes were still dark and cold. But if you look closely, you will discover that there is still some hidden interest in learning. My heart immediately sank. I unconsciously tightened my bag strap, nervously wondering if he wasn't allowed to make calls in his car or not. He suddenly coughed softly and turned his head.

“She studied at the Academy of Architecture, University Bac Thanh?”

“Sorry… Huh? Oh yes, that's right.”

His voice was light:

“What year is it?”

My heart is still nervous, I honestly answer:

“Third year.”

His hand on the steering wheel suddenly tightened. Although Pho Tieu and I lived in the same dormitory, we studied at two different academies. I don't know if it was an illusion or not, after asking these questions, his attitude towards me seemed a lot better.
