Chapter 1263 - Heart Skipped a Beat (1/2)

Although the man was wearing sungla.s.ses and Cen Xi could not see his eyes, she could feel that he was looking at her.

His gaze was sharp, cold and oppressive.

Cen Xi pretended that his gaze was not on her. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her arm. Linda, who was beside Cen Xi, had grabbed her arm, an uncontrollable excitement in her voice. “Cen Xi, look, that person is so handsome. He seems to be looking at me.”

Cen Xi’s mouth twitched.

Linda was so excited that Cen Xi’s arm was starting to hurt from Linda’s firm hold. “Sister Linda, he’s handsome but it looks like he’s the kind that is difficult to approach. We’d better wait for Mr Qiao to come!”

As Linda released her grip on Cen Xi’s arm, she looked at the man in sungla.s.ses with a blush on her face. Seeing that he was still looking over at them, she brushed back her hair and gave a charming and flirtatious smile.

“Cen Xi, do you think he’s interested in me?”

Linda was a recognized beauty in the translation department and that was before Cen Xi came to the department. After Cen Xi came, although she attracted the attention of many male colleagues, she kept a low profile and was modest and somewhat reserved. She did not compete with Linda in beauty or strive for favor, or dress up to attract people’s attention. So Linda was quite satisfied.

Cen Xi looked over at the man again and found that his gaze was still on them. She thought of how he had pushed her against the wall during the compet.i.tion the other day and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, her eyes darting around.

Just then, the man’s indifferent and slightly irritated voice sounded. “How long are you going to stand there? Get in the car!”

Cen Xi and Linda looked at each other.

W-Was he the Mr Qiao the director was talking about?

Qiao Yanze looked at Cen Xi, who was standing outside the office building. It was his first time seeing her in a professional attire.

The tailored cloth almost perfectly outlined the shape of her body, moulding to her every curve. She was wearing a pair of high heels and her legs that were under her short skirt was long and straight.

Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes. Why was the skirt length of the translation department attire so short?

After hearing Qiao Yanze asking them to get into the car, Cen Xi and Linda walked towards the car with weird expressions.

Linda walked in front of Cen Xi, greeting Qiao Yanze with a bright smile. “Are you Mr Qiao?”

Qiao Yanze nodded with no expression on his face.

“You’re so young. I’m Linda, nice to meet you,” Linda said as she opened the front pa.s.senger seat’s door.

She pulled at it but it did not open.

Qiao Yanze said, “Sit at the back.”

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air suddenly. Cen Xi looked at Linda’s whose expression was changing and she felt awkward for her.

Don’t be infatuated with Young Master Qiao’s glorious beauty. She was the perfect example of a painful lesson learned. That man could not be controlled by any woman.

Feeling humiliated, Linda felt indignant. This Mr Qiao was not giving her any respect. Hmph! She was beautiful, which man was not nice to her when they saw her?

But Linda restrained her anger and went into the back of the car. She gave a warning look to Cen Xi, signalling to her not to say anything about her embarra.s.sing moment.

Cen Xi got into the car after Linda.
