Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 103

At 9 o’clock in the morning, Scott arrived on time at the 23rd floor.

His clear footsteps echoed down the corridor. Finally, they stopped at the office door. He hesitated a long time before opening the door.

“I’ve sent you some files and you’re summarising a report to my requirements. Give it to me before you leave work. “

“Right.” Michelle flicked through the mailbox and finally found the information Scott had sent. She downloaded the file and watched as the large file slowly opened. Suddenly he felt under a great deal of pressure.

Noon.

“You can order takeaway if you’re hungry.” When she heard Scott’s voice coming from behind, Michelle stopped what she was doing, got to her feet and replied cautiously, “I’m not hungry, you don’t have to order takeaway.”

“No, you don’t. If you haven’t eaten, how could you possibly have the strength to work? You’re my employee now. As your boss, I can’t let you starve. This is my gift to you. “After saying this, Scott left without looking back.

Watching his retreating figure, Michelle couldn’t help but ask, “When did you come here?”

Maybe it was because she was too focused on work that she didn’t know when Scott walked in.

After lunch, he returned to his office and began to focus on his work. She was so busy that she kept typing on the keyboard.

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the desk vibrated, startling people at work.

Michelle had to stop what she was doing. He put the phone to his ear and answered, “Hello?”

“Michelle, don’t you have time to work today?” Walter’s deep voice came from the other end of the phone. Michelle could hear that someone was talking in the shop.

I knew they were going to the shop to take pictures, but I didn’t have time to go right now.

“Sorry, Walter. I forgot to tell you. The previous company invited me to work. Maybe… Before finishing his sentence, Walter added: “It looks like I’ll have to find another one. By the way, tell me the address of your company. I’ll pick you up after work and treat you to a meal. To celebrate your recovery, right? “

After hesitating for a moment, Michelle nodded and agreed.

If she didn’t know that Walter was expecting a girl, her behaviour would be really misunderstood. But fortunately, he wasn’t interested in her.

At six in the afternoon, Michelle took the report to Scott’s office.

“Come on, let’s have dinner.” Without looking at the documents on the table, Scott stood up and was ready to leave.

Michelle widened her eyes as if she wanted to cry.

Scott discovered there was something wrong with her and thought she must be too busy to pay attention to work. Then he asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

He frowned and walked over to her.

“Sorry, boss. I’ve already got an appointment. “Michelle refused directly, but didn’t notice the unhappy expression on Scott’s face.

Do you really think you can reject me just because I stayed with you for a few days?

‘You’ve got a date with someone. Just cancel it. “He didn’t know who the other party was, but when Scott found out he had a date, he was very upset.

“But boss, I’ve already promised another one.” Raising her head, Michelle looked innocent and tried to defend herself.

Scott ignored her and tugged on her wrist to leave. As the assistant looked on, the two entered the lift. It was only then that Michelle realised she wasn’t carrying her bag with her.

“Boss, my bag.” With an imploring tone, Michelle watched Scott wait.

“We’ll get it later. We’ll have dinner first. ” Scott looked straight ahead with a serious face.

Now that things had come to this, Michelle had no choice but to reluctantly accept his invitation. She followed Scott into the car park and climbed into the black Porsche.

The two didn’t speak on the way. Michelle always looked out of the window as if she had something on her mind.

After driving in a straight line, the car stopped in front of a fancy restaurant. Michelle stopped in front of the car. Scott walked up to her and said lightly, “Let’s go.”

As soon as they entered the restaurant, a waiter rushed up to them as if they knew Scott. “Sir. Scott here please. ” he said.

It was obvious that he was a frequent visitor to this restaurant. She didn’t know how many girls he had brought with him before. A twinge of sadness sprang up in her heart at the thought. She was so jealous she didn’t even notice.

Scott wasn’t a regular customer at this restaurant, but he was a famous person. They were like shining diamonds, catching people’s attention wherever they were. And others couldn’t forget him after meeting him once.

Every woman was like that. Once someone attracted them, they’d do their best to catch them.

Walking to a quiet corner, Scott suggested the window seat because Michelle liked the window seat and wanted to avoid attention. But before they could sit down, a man’s voice suddenly reached their ears.

Scott!

At the same time they looked in the direction of the voice and saw Scott’s old classmate Adrian Li standing next to them.

“Adrian LI, I haven’t seen you in years. You’re getting so strong. ” With a passionate smile on his face, Scott walked over to him and pushed him away.

“I didn’t expect you to change your taste.” Adrian Li turned and asked Scott as he looked at Michelle.

Although his voice wasn’t high, Michelle could still hear every word from the quiet restaurant. She expected Scott to defend her, but he didn’t.

“You’re not bad. You picked up a foreign girl. ” Scott changed the subject. It was hard to tell if he’d done it on purpose or without intent.

“Ha ha, do you want me to introduce you to her?” Adrian raised his eyebrows and smiled knowingly at Scott.

Scott declined without hesitation, which surprised Adrian Li.

“Allow me to introduce you. This is Michelle Wang. This is my classmate, Adrian Li. ” Scott called Michelle to his seat and introduced himself.

“Hi.”

After shaking Michelle’s hand and looking at her out of the corner of his eye, Adrian Li turned and said to Scott, “This is a rare opportunity to see each other. How about having some food together today? “

“Good.” Scott didn’t turn him down, as he knew that more people, more delicious food.

However, Michelle still felt very uncomfortable. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the clothes she was wearing. Wearing a set of cheap business suits, she was inevitably seen there.

At the meal, Michelle could also feel the comments of others.

All along, Adrian Li had kept his eyes on Michelle. I was interested in this woman.

In fact, he was the same as Scott. He was also a playboy, but he was much more skilled than Scott. Different women didn’t bring extra work every day.

And the foreign woman brought by Adrian Li looked at Scott. It was the first time I’d seen a Chinese man with a real aura. Compared to Adrian LI at his side, the man was perfect.

Would every woman be obsessed with such a man?

The atmosphere was harmonious during the meal. But it was like a long, hellish journey for Michelle. She had no taste for food. It wasn’t easy to finish, I just felt heat everywhere.

The restaurant’s air conditioning was on. But she was sweating the whole time.

“How hot it is, take off your coat. We’re only here. You have nothing to be ashamed of. “

Scott looked at her and was about to speak when Adrian Li cut him off.

“It’s not right.” He was wearing a white shirt on the inside. The shirt was wet because he was sweating. If he had to take his coat off in front of so many people, he would immediately become the focus of the crowd.

What’s more, it was humiliating.

Seeing this, Adrian Li was visibly displeased. He was about to say something, but Scott stopped him, “I’ll send you back after lunch.”

Now she was very grateful to him.

But Adrian Li wouldn’t let them go so easily, so he pretended he hadn’t seen her for a long time and asked Scott to stay here. Michelle wasn’t the sort of person who would reject others easily, so she had to agree.

This time she’d come out with nothing, so she feared her mother would call.

The company door would be closed at ten o’clock at night, so those who were working overtime were locked in.

After dinner, everyone came to KTV.

The KTV room was quiet, completely different from the design outside. What stayed in Michelle’s mind was the music coming from the corridor and the shaking heads of young men and women on the dance floor.

He didn’t like coming to a place like this. After their two previous encounters, she even felt a little disgusted.

Sitting on the sofa in the room, Adrian Li held this stranger in his arms and put his big hand on her chest in an unbridled way. The box was so small that Michelle could see. Even if he didn’t want to, this scene was either going to enter her view intentionally or unintentionally.

“Come on, miss. Michelle, here it is for you. ” Neglecting Scott, Adrian Li released the woman into his arms and headed over to Michelle with a glass of wine.

On the other hand, Scott was grabbed by the foreign woman. She rested her head on his shoulder and smiled, “Handsome, let’s have a drink too.”

For Adrian LI’s sake, Scott didn’t reject the foreign woman’s kindness. But he drove here alone. Considering he had to take Michelle home, he replaced the wine with water.

The foreign woman was visibly unhappy. She moved her head to her neck and said, “Hey, can’t you give me a face?”

There wasn’t much expression on Scott’s face. All his attention was on Michelle. I was afraid she was being bullied. But this was a man of great power. How could I hear anyone’s words?

How ridiculous.

Seeing that he wouldn’t talk to her, the woman became more excited. However, Scott pushed her down onto the sofa with all his might. In the next second, she saw Scott get up and walk over to Michelle.
