Chapter 1776: We’ve Already Broken Up
Ye Qianqian, who did not manage to evade in time, instantly froze on the spot.
Why… Why would I bump into the editor here?
Could it be that the editor specially came to catch me at the entrance to give me a dressing-down since I’ve been late and on leave too frequently lately?
When this possibility crossed Ye Qianqian’s mind, the sense of uneasiness increased in her heart.
Ye Qianqian held her editor’s gaze and flashed an awkward smile like a loser.
When the editor saw Ye Qianqian, she immediately forgot about her call and glared at Ye Qianqian with a dark expression.
When Ye Qianqian saw the situation, she knew that trouble was brewing.
Since the editor was her superior, Ye Qianqian was forced to bite the bullet and walk over to her.
“Ye Qianqian!” The editor’s teeth gnashed as she spoke and glared at Ye Qianqian. “You’re finally here!”
Ye Qianqian shrunk her neck back like a loser and pouted her lips pitifully as she shrieked out loud, “Boss!”
Amidst her shouts, Ye Qianqian made a lunge for her editor.
The editor took a step back and evaded her. She replied with a look of disgust on her face, “You reek of alcohol!”
“Boohoohoo…” Ye Qianqian half feigned a wail as she said, “Boss, I did not mean to be late. I was unlucky in love. Wahhhhh! I accidentally woke up late and so…”
The editor’s expression darkened even further. She said, “It was just a fight, and you lost your phone. Your future is really promising, isn’t it?”
Ye Qianqian was completely caught by surprise when she heard that. “How did you know I lost my phone?”
“How could I not know? Your boyfriend already paid a visit just now, but he did not manage to catch hold of you. I told him to grab something to eat and come back later,” the editor replied in an ill-tempered manner. “Thanks to your boyfriend, everyone is now aware of the fact that you’re late. I can’t even open the back door for you. Write a report and submit it to me today before you knock off from work. Your salary will still be deducted!”
Ye Qianqian wore a blank expression on her face and asked, “Shen Zhilie was here?”
“Damn, he sure was. He was here in the morning. He even caught me when I came to work and asked if I knew where you are. How the hell would I know where you were?” Envy, jealousy, and hate were all written on the editor’s face. She jabbed her fingers at the spot behind Ye Qianqian. “See? He’s here.”
Ye Qianqian’s back stiffened. She turned to look.
Shen Zhilie’s hand was bandaged and hung from his neck
The bandage was thick. It was obvious that his injury was not one to be brushed off.
Shen Zhilie straightened his body the moment he saw Ye Qianqian and quickly bolted toward her.
When Ye Qianqian caught sight of him, she made a dash for the office with her purse in her hands.
Shen Zhilie could see what she was doing from afar and yelled out, “Ye Qianqian!”
Ye Qianqian tugged her editor as if she was avoiding a viper and said, “Let’s go, I don’t want to see him.”
Her editor was completely caught off guard and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Ye Qianqian paused and could not seem to figure out how she should explain the situation.
Ye Qianqian was the Queen of Outstanding Performance in her company. She couldn’t possibly tell her colleagues that while she was successful in her career, she failed in romance and allowed her best friend to steal her boyfriend.
She hotly replied, “Well, I just don’t want to see him. We’ve broken up!”
“I don’t care about the affairs between the two of you, but judging from your boyfriend’s attitude, if you don’t make things clear with him today, it is unlikely that he will leave. You better settle this quickly and hurry back to work. You still have a ton of things to do, yet you had the cheek to take a day off yesterday!”
The editor pulled her arm away and gave Ye Qianqian a push before she hurried back into the office.
The shove caused Ye Qian to stagger backward. When she turned around, Shen Zhilie was standing in front of her.
Shen Zhilie grabbed hold of Ye Qianqian’s arm and yelled out amidst his pants, “Qianqian!”
Ye Qianqian felt as if someone had mercilessly shot a bullet through her heart. She instantly began to quiver violently.
