?Chapter 556: Chapter 557: Strangers (6) _1 Chapter 556: Chapter 557: Strangers (6) _1 Mr. Chen raised his glass humorously and then put his hand down.
Mr. Lin raises his glass to Jing Haohao: “Miss Jing, a toast to you.”
Jing Haohao avoids Mr. Lin’s naked gaze, casually raises her glass, and clinks it with Mr. Lin, “Mr. Lin, to you.”
After the drink, Jing Haohao still maintains the same posture as before, focusing on the delicious food in front of her.
Mr. Lin occasionally turns his head to ask Jing Haohao some questions, every time he speaks, he leans very close to her, making Jing Haohao feel uncomfortable.
Fearing that she might offend Mr. Lin and lose her job, Jing Haohao has no choice but to keep her distance and cope with him.
“Miss Jing, how long have you been working under Mr. Chen?” After toasting with a president next to him, Mr. Lin turns his head and with a lingering gaze at Jing Haohao’s fair and delicate neck.
Jing Haohao smiled politely and slightly moved to the side to avoid Mr. Lin’s gaze: “A little over a month.”
“So, not for long then.” Mr. Lin said, while his hand sneakily reached under the table towards the Jing Haohao’s waist.
Jing Haohao jerked aside as if shocked, forced a smile at Mr. Lin and squeezed out a laugh.
Mr. Lin’s hand rested on the back of Jing Haohao’s chair, his eyes showed a hint of regret. After a while, he asked Jing Haohao, “Miss Jing, how much salary did Mr. Chen offer you?”
Jing Haohao saw that Mr. Lin was once again extending his hand sneakily towards her thigh, she felt a surge of nausea in her heart. Somewhat disinterested in dealing with Mr. Lin, she casually replied as she sidestepped: “I’m sorry, Mr. Lin, salary matters shouldn’t be disclosed.”
Mr. Lin’s second attempt failed, unhappiness flashed in his eyes, he quickly came up with another idea, saying: “Miss Jing, I can read palms, let me predict your marriage prospects.”
As he spoke, Mr. Lin stretched out his hand, grabbed Jing Haohao’s hand, and looked at her palm.
Jing Haohao subconsciously pulled her hand away, accidentally knocking over a cup of wine on the table, causing a noisy commotion which attracted the attention of those around.
“What’s the matter?” Mr. Chen asked.
She awkwardly glanced at Mr. Chen, before she could reply, Mr. Lin said, “Secretary Jing didn’t do it on purpose.”
Jing Haohao did not even look at Mr. Lin next to her. She simply stood up and hastily said, “I need to use the restroom.”
Then she slightly bowed to the people at the table, turned and left.
…
Such small incidents with Jing Haohao and Mr. Lin went unnoticed by anyone at the table. Besides, it’s not unusual for these big bosses to take liberties with their secretaries. Even if they were discovered, everyone would think it was not a big deal.
However, only Liang Chen was the exception.
He had kept his attention on Jing Haohao all the time.
He clearly saw the scene where the boss of Wanda, who was sitting next to Jing Haohao, frequently talked to her. At that time, he had already seen enough to fume inside. When Lin reached out to take Jing Haohao’s hand, he subconsciously raised his glass, looking like he wanted to hurl it at Lin’s head. But who knew Jing Haohao would rapidly withdraw her hand.
Liang Chen watched Jing Haohao disappear through the doorway before slowly moving his gaze back and landing it on the slightly overweight figure of Mr. Lin.
