Chapter 22
Due to their performance at the front desk of the company, the gossip groups all over Azel Group exploded.
[Who gave the false information yesterday that the office lady fell out of favor? They have showed off in public!]
[I have worked in Azel Group for three years and see for the first time that the boss had a woman hold him by his side.]
[And he's so calm. He didn't avoid but indulge her so much.]
[I've bet on Sandra. Did I lose? What happened to Sandra? She just jumped up, why she fell so quickly? Sandra, stand up!]
[What the hell is this office lady?]
[It's a mystery. Probably only the closest person to the boss knows.]
When Sandra heard about the mystery woman in the group before, she secretly applied for another account and asked staff to add her to the group.
Seeing all the conversations then, she bit her lips in a complex mood.
She didn't know if she was unreconciled or jealous, but there's a strong emotion driving her to figure out why she lost.
Yolanda went in the office happily, and when she was about to sit on the sofa as usual, Aaron called her: "Come here."
Yolanda:?
He pulled out a chair and placed it next to him, then tapped the table: "Sit down."
Yolanda: "Huh?"
Work with the president on the same desk?
This was really a golden seat...
When Yolanda just sat down, Blair came in and put two documents in front of Aaron: "Mr. Jensen, these are the documents you want."
Mr. Jensen nodded and handed them to Yolanda.
"These are two failed investments this year made by Azor Group which was acquired by Azel Group. Take a look and analyze the reasons for those failures."
Yolanda looked down and opened them, looking a little nervous:" But I know little about entertainment industry."
"I'll teach you."
"..."
Aaron looked at her clearly but softly, "Ask me where you don't know."
These two short sentences inexplicably infused warm and powerful force into Yolanda's heart.
When Yolanda graduated, she had never expected to be a rich but weak lady. She also studied many projects and had many ambitions, but before she could even begin, so many things happened in her family.
Just like the perfume that had been treasured up, Yolanda had long hidden her enthusiasm in the past.
But now, the man who once pulled her out of the gloom and gave her the second warm was going to teach her how to come back to the world she was supposed to be and help her become the person she wanted to be.
He was a brother and a good teacher.
Yolanda was moved and said: "...Thanks, brother."
Aaron reached out and gently rubbed her head without a word.
The sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The two figures stood gently side by side, silent and beautiful.
Such a morning was the most stable time after Yolanda's accident. Even when she looked up at Aaron secretly, she would think in heart--
If James caused ninety-nine points of harm to her, she also wanted to thank him that the last point brought Aaron to her.
Yolanda gently pursed her lips.
Aaron turned around to see her sometimes:" I asked you to read the documents. Why you look at me at times?"
...she thought he was concentrating on his work.
As if got caught distracted in class, Yolanda spit out her tongue," Some sentences are too complicated for me to understand."
"Which sentence?"
Aaron slid his seat naturally.
He had the smell of sunshine, vegetation and incense. When he leaned over, his whole body covered the light in front of Yolanda.
He made people feel safe.
Yolanda said it casually but didn't expect him to come over.
"Here."
Aaron leaned slightly. "The project's investment income was lower than expected. With a loss of 200 million dollars, the fund was still invested in self-made drama, and the publicity didn't follow up in time..."
His voice was light. When he spoke, she could smell a faint scent of tobacco mixed with male hormone.
Yolanda indulged in this smell and was mind-absent for several times.
"Got it?" The clear voice sounded again.
"... " Yolanda sat up straight suddenly. She hadn't listened to him at all but tried to pretend to be an excellent student," Yes."
"Got it?"
"Hmm."
Looking at her, Mr. Jensen squinted and then leaned back, "Then repeat the meaning of rate of return again."
Yolanda paused for a few seconds," I forget."
"..."
Aaron was speechless and stretched out to poke her forehead," Have you ever been to college? Why can't you understand such a little knowledge?"
Despite being laughed at, Yolanda didn't become angry but even feel happy after being poked.
Well, she was sure that the feeling in her heart was happiness.
Yolanda pursed her lips and took out the snacks she had not finished from her bag. She took out a plum and handed it to Aaron," Teachers are not as fierce as you. Eat a plum and speak it again, OK?"
After she just finished speaking, Blair knocked on the door and said: "Boss, Sandra wants to see you."
Sandra?
Yolanda remembered her.
The woman who lit up a cigarette for Aaron to provoke her.
She later searched the Internet for the information of the actress. There were a lot of gossip rumors, among which the most widespread one was that she was Aaron's new favorite, and the person he supported most.
Yolanda did not forget the eyes, and every time she remembered it, she still felt bad. But now the relationship between her and Aaron become better, she didn't want to talk about that anymore.
Her hand holding the plum consciously quietly withdraw.
Aaron saw the gesture but did not speak.
He nodded," Come in."
Blair turned around a little. Sandra had already stood behind him.
She had a good figure and a delicate and three-dimensional face, showing an exotic charm.
She was a born actress and men's favorite type.
"Mr. Jensen." Sandra walked in," Am I interrupting your work?"
By this time, Sandra was sizing up Yolanda unintentionally.
Yolanda also looked up at her.
Through one second of the eye contact, Sandra knew she couldn't beat her.
But she didn't even know why.
"What's the matter?" Aaron asked lightly.
Despite the fact that her bad emotions were magnified a great many times after seeing Yolanda, Sandra still put down all of them:
"Mr. Jensen, some negative news related to James was exposed last night. Are you sure you want him to act with me? I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on the reputation of Dragon Hunt."
Yolanda was stunned," James was exposed??"
Great!
Who are you? I almost want to give you a banner.
Aaron didn't react much to Sandra's words.
"OK. I'll handle it."
Then he asked Yolanda: "Where is the thing you just want to give me?"
Yolanda:?
What?
She stared blankly at Aaron, but he pointed to her palm.
Plum?
Oh, no. There're still other people.
"Give me." Aaron urged.
Yolanda was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Sandra and then Aaron. After a few seconds, she handed out the plum in her hand.
She didn't want to feed him, but she turned her hand to his mouth somehow.
But he opened his mouth and ate it unexpectedly.
Yolanda:?
He took a small taste, "It's kind of sour, not as delicious as the dried strawberry before."
His tone made people feel as if Yolanda often fed him.
The atmosphere in the office was weird.
Seeing that Sandra didn't move, Aaron suddenly turned to look at her: "What else?"
After seeing their interaction, Sandra was too surprised to speak.
Aaron raised his chin to the door.
Sandra understood what he meant by that action.
She even knew what he meant by what he had just done.
His eyes were cold, which was warning her of inappropriate behaviors and minds at that night.
He was also telling her that this woman was inviolable.
Sandra finally understood why she had such an instinct that she couldn't beat her.
It was a kind of confidence from Aaron.
But she didn't have it. Even a little.
After knowing it clearly, Sandra bowed her head and left the office in a panic and embarrassment.
Yolanda knew that Sandra deliberately lit up a cigarette to provoke her, so she was glad to see her get out of the office in front of her.
She couldn't help but said deliberately: "Brother, she looks a little unhappy."
Looking at her, Aaron was speechless.
She couldn't even hide the complacence in her eyes, but still pretended to feel nothing wrong.
He wanted to criticize her bad acting skill, but decided not to expose her in the end: "How do you know she's unhappy?"
Yolanda: "Netizens say you like women with long legs, and the reason that you support her is that you love her. Will she misunderstand when she saw me with you?"
Aaron: "..."
His eyes fell unconsciously onto Yolanda's legs, which were even more beautiful than Sandra's.
Sandra's legs were so thin that only suitable for being photographed and appeared in magazines.
But Yolanda's were similarly long, but very beautiful. Her legs were between thin and fat, straight and even.
For such legs, people would like to--
Aaron suddenly realized what he was thinking and then closed his eyes.
What are you thinking?
She regards you as a brother. What are you thinking? ?
Aaron drank a lot of water in silence, loosened his tie, and then asked Blair: "Ask Mr. Lenard to come immediately."
He had to work.
He had to work immediately.
"Brother, are you alright?" Yolanda wondered if her overreaction caused her brother feel discomfort." I'm just kidding."
"Read your documents. Don't talk to me."
"..."
The office was quiet for a few minutes, and Mr. Lenard of the Entertainment Department arrived.
He had gone to Darlington with him before, so he was not surprised that Yolanda appeared in the office. He nodded to Yolanda to greet her, and then sat down:
"Boss, I'm also looking for you."
Aaron: "What happened to James?"
Mr. Lenard turned on his tablet:
"Around 1:00 a.m. this morning, an ID posted that James has stinky feet and that he is a bastard."
Yolanda: "...?"
Wait a minute.
Why "stinky feet" sounds like my words?
Yolanda suddenly remembered what Phoebe said to her and understood something. When Aaron didn't notice her, she secretly opened her another Weibo account.
She glanced and found over ninety thousand comments and forwards.
Yolanda's back suddenly felt cold. She felt that something terrible were going to happen.
Sure enough--
[James has stinky feet. Does anyone else not know? He blushes when he sees beautiful girls? What are you thinking? The bad star just wants to sleep with you.]
Yolanda: "..."
！！！
When did she post it?
Oh, God. Am I so crazy after drunk?
Yolanda was nervous suddenly, but she didn't expect to hear Mr. Lenard's following words:
"By 6:00 a.m., more than 30,000 comments had been posted on the original post. James' brokerage company made a statement at 8:00 a.m."
"But at 9 a.m., a suspected involved fan came out to support the first blogger."
"So far, two fans have come out and the thing has gone viral."
After listening, Yolanda couldn't even believe it:
Really?
She just posted it randomly. Would she really make it by accident?
While they were talking, Yolanda immediately searched Weibo, and found that James had already been on the hot search. Many fans couldn't believe it.
Her two supporters had no evidence, so some loyal fans believed that they were tarnishing James' image on purpose. At that moment, they were fighting against each other.
The unexpected success almost caused Yolanda to laugh.
So even God couldn't bear the bastard and decided to assist her?
Mr. Lenard said then: "Mr. Jensen, I just want to ask you, should we get involved in this matter? If the matter continues to ferment, I am afraid that there will be more powerful evidence. If we don't handle it perfectly, our movie will also be affected."
According to Aaron's past style, Yolanda thought he would refuse directly.
But he thought for a while and said:" Danis Todd only wants him to act the character. It's not easy to get Danis to direct the movie. Unless James' reputation becomes very terrible, we have to take him into consideration. After all, it is complex behind it."
He paused:" Ask the PR department to intervene and get the news down as soon as possible. Try to handle the thing perfectly."
"OK."
Yolanda couldn't believe it: "??"
I made great efforts to push him to the hot search, but now you want to get it down?
Feeling the different eyes from Yolanda, Mr. Jensen turned to her," Why are you looking at me?"
Yolanda didn't answer. She complained a lot in her heart before squeezing a grin: "Nothing. I just can't understand. If this person is really a bastard, why don't you tell everyone what he's done?"
Aaron smiled disdainfully: "I am a businessman, not a judge."
Yolanda was speechless: "...You have no compassion."
"It's true." His voice was cold. He paused, closed the document and turned to look at her: "I've given my only compassion in my life..."
Looking in the eyes for a long time, he said indifferently: "To you."
"..."
It was a fatal blow to Yolanda.
Those misunderstandings that had just gathered in her heart vanished in a flash.
Yeah, he had given me so much. Why did I require more to him?
He doesn't know anything. He's been kept in the dark.
From his perspective, he did nothing wrong. Interests first.
Yolanda was caught in a contradiction.
If Aaron had an agreement with the director, and if she continued to make trouble on James, Aaron's interests would be affected.
Give up then? Well, what's the point of her efforts?
A sudden bell rang, interrupting their conversations.
It was from Aaron's phone.
The call was from an unknown landline number.
He did not think much of it and picked it up as usual: "Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Jensen? This is Capital Cliton Police Station. One and a half months ago, your car was involved in a traffic accident. You had taken over the injured victim in the end. Is she still with you?"
Aaron calmly glanced at Yolanda beside him," Yes."
"That's great." The police said: "Our staff found the missing items during a survey on the scene on the night of the accident. I have to say sorry first. The police, who was in charge of the incident, made a mistake and divided the missing items into the evidence boxes of another case. We found the mistake when we organize items today. So, I want to ask you to pick up the lost item when you are free."
Aaron frowned. He subconsciously walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and stood away from Yolanda.
"What's that?"
All the sunlight falling on the office suddenly seemed to be cut in half when he heard the sound on the phone.
Just like where Aaron and Yolanda stood then.
One on the left, one on the right.
They were slowly pulled apart.
They were pulled back to the night of the accident, the two worlds they used to have no overlap.
The other end of the phone told Aaron calmly --
"The victim's phone."
