"What happened to you at Howard Group! Why do you look like this! Are you dumb?"

At last the boss raps angrily on the desk. The audacious colleague in the sales department starts to narrate what happened in Howard Group this morning.

It turns out that when they got there, they were treated ceremoniously. When the receptionist heard that they were from the design company, they were greeted upstairs. Their attitude was very respectful.

Later Alice was called into an office as the only woman. The sales colleague thought they were going to negotiate the cooperation project, so he wanted to go in, but he was stopped outside.

The colleague was surprised at first. Later he thought that maybe they just want to listen to the design concept, so he didn't care and stood outside and waited.

But strange things began to happen at that time.

The male colleague stops and doesn't go on.

The boss says unhappily, "go on. Why don't you say that?"

The male colleague glances at Alice and says to the boss hesitantly, "Alice will tell you what happened later."

Alice shivers a little when she hears him mention her name. She looks uneasily at the boss and then Claire. When the boss is about to lose his temper, she falters, "when I got into the office..."

Alice's experience is more colorful.

When Alice entered the office, she found that there was only one man in the office and that man's expression was terrible. He seemed to want to eat her. As soon as he saw Alice, he asked aloud who she was. Alice was pale with fear. She stammered out her purpose.

As a result, the man was more terrible when he heard her name and company. He angrily told Alice to get out and let her...

"What? Go on!" The boss is a little dissatisfied with Alice's timidity, and his tone is not good.

Alice trembles at the boss's words. Claire stands by and worries. She can't help but reach out and pat her on the shoulder and let her relax.

Alice gives Claire a grateful look. His eyes are still strange. Alice turns her head to look at the boss. After a long time she plucks up her courage and says, "that man asked me to let Claire come to him in person!"

"..."

Alice's words quiet the whole office. Not only Claire is shocked, but also the boss.

The most important thing is said, and there is nothing terrible behind it, but Alice is still embarrassed.

The man yelled and told Alice to get out. Alice was scared. She came out of the office pale. Later, Alice tells Claire in private that the man's eyes were like killing her. The air pressure and temperature in the office were too low. She felt creepy on this hot day.

The male colleague felt strange, but before he asked, someone immediately asked them to leave. Their attitude was totally different from the previous respect.

They seemed to drive them away deliberately.

On the way back, the male colleague asked Alice what happened. When he heard Alice's description, he was also shocked.

Even the boss and Claire are shocked after hearing Alice's story. No one expected that things will develop in such a dramatic way.

Now there are a few questions. Who is the man Alice saw? According to Alice, he is definitely not a manager or leader. He is a man none of them can imagine.

The second question is why he asked Claire to come to him in person. Does he want to discuss business or personal matters with her? What is his relationship with Claire?

All kinds of questions come to everyone's mind. The boss, Alice and the male colleague can't help looking at Claire. They all seem to want to find out from Claire.

But no one asks her.

Only Claire knows all the answers. She knows who the man is and why he is looking for her.

But she is in a very complicated mood at the moment. She didn't expect Leo to find out that she is working in this company.

Meanwhile Claire is thinking. She is guessing how he knows she works in this company. If Leo finds her, how does he find her? He shouldn't know it by right!

Claire panics. Let alone the three of them. Even she has a bunch of questions waiting for others to answer for her!

Finally, the boss is the first to respond. He coughs and signals Alice and the male colleague to go out first.

Although Alice and the male colleague have many questions and doubts about Claire's relationship with the seemingly powerful man, they can only restrain themselves in front of their boss.

After they leave, only Claire and the boss are left in the office.

After a long silence, the boss says, "Claire, sit down first."

With that, he stands up and walks to Claire. He pushes Claire, who is meditating, onto the sofa.

Claire's back to consciousness. She sits on the sofa and gives the boss an awkward look. She says awkwardly, "boss..."

The boss raises his hand and interrupts Claire. He sits down across from Claire and says, "I know everyone has their own past. It's not appropriate to discuss personal matters at work, but Claire, have you offended someone in their company?"

She does offend someone, but he is not a person.

Claire scolds him in her heart. She looks up at the boss and thinks for a while before she says, "I do have a dispute with someone in Howard Group, but it's not a big deal. There's just some misunderstanding between us."

Compared with these, the boss is more worried about the success of his cooperation project.
