Chapter 448 - GLOOMY ATMOSTPHERE (1/2)
On Monday, John Lu went to the company early in the morning. He had a good rest on Saturday and Sunday. That's why his mind was fresh.
He saw some employees entering the elevator. He strode forward to catch the elevator. ”Hello, good morning everyone,” he greeted everyone whom he faced.
”…Good morning… sigh…” Lisa replied in a depressed tone.
Her dejected expression made John Lu blink in confusion. ”Huh? What's wrong?” He was worried something bad happened with the project.
Diana answered in Lisa's stead, ”Our Managing Director is engaged.” Her downcast expression made John Lu think that her husband had just died.
Looking at those two unmarried women, John Lu c.o.c.ked his head on the side. ”Managing Director… Yuan Mo? Is he engaged? Where did you hear it from?”
Lisa stated, ”Everyone in the company knew. President Mo himself announced it in the forum. It is said that his wife, Madam Mo, declared it in front of our Managing Director's friends and schoolmates.”
Diana shared her opinion, ”I think madam Mo did it because she didn't want her son to be taken by a western girl.”
”Is that so?” Arthur finally opened his mouth. He commented, ”I heard that the Managing Director had his eyes set on the girl he got engaged to.”
Lisa retorted, ”Are you for real? He was single just before he got engaged.”
Arthur raised her hands showing that he surrendered. ”Easy! I know you are upset but I'm telling the truth. I've seen two videos of their engagement. Apparently, our Managing Director had no clue about his engagement. However, when Madam Mo announced the engagement, he carried his fiancée to the stage and put on the ring. He even kissed her passionately.”
”Aww! Isn't he romantic?” Diana cupped her face and put on a dreamy expression.
John Lu scratched his cheek and stated, ”I think he is younger than you people. Why are you so obsessed with him?”
Lisa responded, ”Why can't we have a crush on someone younger than us? Although he is young, he is handsome, smart, and intelligent. And, his attitude, oh… where will I get a man like him?”
John Lu's eyebrow twitched. He didn't say another word. He felt someone patting his shoulder. He looked at the person and saw Arthur.
Arthur said, ”John, don't you feel offended? Are we any less than the Managing Director? We got looks, brains, and whatnot?”
John Lu pondered about it and then said, ”I think the problem is with our age. Women these days like younger men.”
”That's utter nonsense!” Arthur would never admit that even if it's true.
” As if you are anything close to our Managing Director.” Diana stomped on his foot.
”Oww!” Arthur quickly moved away from her. In the narrow elevator, he couldn't possibly go that far. He brushed his blonde hair with his long fingers and challenged Diana, ”Fine, you think your so-called handsome Managing Director is the best among the best? I will prove you wrong. Starting from today, John and I will capture the hearts of as many women as possible.”
