Chapter 156 The Playboy
Chapter 156 The Playboy
Melinda was never so calm in the past few years. She used to go after Jonas.
This time, she was going to live for herself.
Melinda looked around her small home, with a soft smile on her face and a touch of relaxation.
She hadn't planned for the future, but now she began to think carefully about what she should do next.
First of all, she needed to have a job as a mature urban woman.
After browsing the recruitment, Melinda found that she had no resume. The resume in the USB flash
drive was used during her university years as a part-time job. But it was useless now.
"It seems that I need to make a resume first," Melinda sighed with emotion. It was not easy to be a rich
lady. Now she was unfamiliar with these, so she finally made a fairly perfect resume with the help of
Kent.
That was because she was once a graduate and had no experience in business.
"What do you want to do?"
It had been a long time since Melinda graduated, but she was just like a girl who was just out of
college, except for that she looked more mature now for the experience in the past few years.
"I'm watching it. Full time job, but... But it might be a little difficult for me to find a suitable one. Just do it
step by step. A bite can't make me fat."
Melinda had read many company's requests today. Most of them want experienced people first. She
just had taken part-time jobs several years ago.
As the society was developing, the working content of each profession naturally changed.
Her hesitation just now was because she thought that she had been isolated from the society all these
years, but it didn't matter, because she had much time to adapt to it now.
"Full time job is pretty good. You can support yourself here, but you don't need to live a single-time life,"
Kent replied.
Now what worried Kent most was that Melinda was always alone. The life in Gu family had made her
almost disappear in her circle of friends. It was not easy to get rid of it, but he didn't want her to be
trapped in it.
"How about I recommend you some companies?" Kent has accumulated a lot of connections over the
years, and he can help a lot to find a job in the industry for Melinda.
"Am I using a back door?" Melinda joked. She certainly knew that Kent's recommendation was not
simple. But she knew a lot about various rules in the past years, so she would not refuse.
"Yes, don't embarrass me." Kent did not hide anything from her, and then sent a document to Melinda.
It contained the information of several companies and he marked the key points to her carefully.
With the help of Kent, it was easy for Melinda to find a job. She chose a position she was interested in
and sent her resume.
The interview was quickly arranged for her. Melinda was a little nervous before the interview and her
indifferent attitude at the time overshadowed other interviewers.
At last, Melinda entered the company. She felt happy simply that she could work as an employee.
Perhaps, she didn't get high salary than writing, but such a life would not be monotonous, even if there
were struggles in the dark.
"Melinda, do you want a takeout?"
"As usual, please order for me. I have a file to deliver first." Melinda was in the planning department
with the proposal of a wine party in her hand.
"Okay." The colleague then began to ask other colleagues. Melinda had to send the proposal to the
general manager's office. As no more than three floors, she walked down the stairs.
The light in the stairwell was somewhat dim, and Melinda suddenly heard a strange voice. She looked
ahead and saw a couple kissing passionately not far away. They seemed to have forgotten everything
else.
At this time, Melinda felt that it was not a good thing to have a good eyesight. The man in front of her
was her boss, Victor Cheng, and the woman was not a stranger. She was a model who often had
cooperation with this company.
'I didn't anything, I didn't see anything.' With this in mind, Melinda concealed her astonishment and
sped up in silence, wishing that the document could cover her face.
Victor pushed the female model away as soon as he heard the footsteps. Now he was amused to see
Melinda lowering her head and running away.
The female model leaned against the door of the stairwell, her fingers moving around Victor's chest in
circles.
"Let's go." Victor grabbed her hand, opened the door and rushed out.
Hearing the noise down there, Melinda paused for a second. She tried her best to control herself not to
turn around out of curiosity.
A variety of plots rushed into her mind. According to the normal development of the novel, she would
be forced out of the company in the future by her boss, would she?
Lost in wild thoughts, Melinda walked to the general manager's office, handed over the documents, and
left in a hurry. At this time, she went to the elevator tamely.
The stairwell was an evil thing and so many stories started from here. It was better to walk less in the
future.
After thinking for a long time after Victor went back to his office, he finally remembered the person
named Melinda.
The woman recommended by Kent? Interesting. A mischievous smile flitted across Victor's eyes.
"Melinda, are you going to pick up a dress for the party after work?" Maggie, who was the girl who had
helped Melinda to order takeout before, asked when she saw her.
"A company party?" As soon as Melinda returned to her seat, she took a gulp of water. Thinking of
what had happened just now, she regretted again for not taking the elevator.
"Yeah, you took part in the plan, didn't you? Don't you know the employees are coming?" Maggie
asked. After working with Melinda for some time, she had learnt that she was not a competitive person.
"I didn't notice. Tonight? Okay." Melinda was still thinking about whether she would be resigned before
getting off work, but she suddenly forgot about it. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
The planning of the cocktail party of the company had been revised twice before it was finally agreed
by the top authority. The rest of the matter was not their concern. In Maggie's words, they had been
stewing in brain for a month. When they finished, they would just need to show up as beautiful as they
can.
In Melinda's opinion, the beauty in winter was always unbearable. Wearing a dress on such a cold day
was really a kind of torture.
The fishtail long dress Melinda chose was simple, showing her curvy body. The black color
demonstrated her noble temperament.
"Melinda, you are absolutely stunning. You deserve to be the leading woman of the planning
department." Maggie was wearing a short white dress, which made her look pretty. But she looked a
little bit childish in this dress.
"You are the most beautiful girl in our department," Melinda said with a smile. They went to the cocktail
party together, with central heating on. As they handed the coats to the waiter, Melinda and Maggie
went to find food.
"I am so happy. There is macaroon." Maggie stared at the colorful macaroon with her eyes wide open.
It was she who added the macaroon on the list.
Melinda was not interested in these things. What she liked most in attending the party was to find a
seat in the corner and watch others dance.
But it was a little different this time. Maggie, who was fond of boisterousness, stood beside her.
A girl who wanted to take her to run around the whole hall.
They were so focused on the food that they didn't notice that many people were fixing their eyes on
Melinda, and some even looked at her with ill intentions.
Or perhaps, they had another lewd and dirty idea.
"Is it enough? If you eat too much, the dress will be tore." Seeing that Maggie was eating all the time,
Melinda couldn't help stopping her. It was a slim dress, and if she ate too much, her belly would bulge
out.
"Yes, you are right." Maggie nodded seriously and was about to leave with her, while Melinda's another
arm was held by someone.
The two women turned their heads and looked at the man, who stared at Melinda with fixed eyes and
even rubbed his hand against her arm.
A feeling of nausea came to Melinda. She put the thing on the table, reached out and pushed his hand
away, and the man acted greedily and held her.
Maggie stood aside, at a loss. Seeing this, the smile on Melinda's face faded. Her face darkened and
she said, "Mr. Li, please behave yourself."
"Isn't this Miss Mo? You look so beautiful today that anyone who sees you will be impulsive. Don't get
me wrong. I mean I am impulsive to praise you,"
Mr. Li said and looked at Melinda with his small eyes. The extra explanation was more a kind of
flirtation.
Melinda knew the man in front of her was an important partner of the company, and also one of the
most important customers in the planning department. She had to come up with a good idea.
In fact, what she wanted to do most was to beat the man up.
"Mr. Li, you have keen eyes. Melinda is the face of our planning department. We always support her. If
anyone dares to bully her, the whole planning department will not let the bully go."
Just as Melinda was in a dilemma, the voice of Victor came. His tall stature instantly overwhelmed that
of the other side in an imposing manner. Mr. Li finally let go of Melinda and spoke to Victor.
At this moment, he looked at Melinda from time to time.
Then Victor sent Mr. Li away with a few words. Just then, Melinda wiped her arm with a wet tissue,
feeling disgusting. When she saw Victor looking at her, she sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Mr.
Cheng."
"I get to know Mr. Li a little bit now. You are really a fascinating... A voluptuous woman." Victor thought
for a long time and came up with the adjective.
The gratefulness on Melinda's face was replaced by coldness at once. The favor that had just come to
her mind was all gone thanks to the tricks of this playboy.
She could not help but recall what she saw in the stairwell that day.
Instead of feeling anything wrong, Victor thought that he had described her properly.
