Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 72 Someone Was Eavesdropping

"Ahem!" Hearing this, Abner was choked by the wine and coughed. Hearing that, Hugh and Barry could not help but burst into laughter. Even Malcolm raised his eyebrows. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

All the dishes on Poppi's table were served quickly. The three women chatted while eating.

"Recently, a program director came to my agent and invited me to take part in a TV program." Said Shirley as she was eating.

"What kind of show?" Wendy asked curiously.

"The show is called 'similar love'. I thought which was looking for a woman to pretend to be a couple with me. I was so scared." Shirley was still in a state of shock.

Poppi rolled her eyes, "the show has been in two season, with high ratings. It was appropriate for a couple to show off their love in public. How evil you are. But it makes sense. There is a man in your mind, and it is a suitable match to find a girl. "

"Haha..." Wendy smiled with hands covering her mouth.

"I'm afraid I would be telling the truth." Shirley shook her head and replied, "they just finished their second season. It's still early. I have to think about it." Then, she added, "besides, I heard that there will be a woman named Abby in the next season. I don't like her."

"She is more popular than you." The voice of Poppi was a little laughing.

"Don't you know how she got the position?" "I would rather not have such success if I could get promoted by selling my body," Shirley sneered.

On the other table, Barry gave a thumbs up to Hugh secretly. "Your company is thriving, everyone is so talented."

Taking a sip of the wine, Hugh replied in a low voice, "I don't care whether it is a good character or not. All I want is to earn more money."

"Let's talk about something else," Poppi waved her hand and said, "let's not talk about her. Just talk about ourselves!"

"I want to talk about what you have done at work" Said Shirley with a sneer.

"I haven't been to work for half a month, let alone chatting with you. Ah, it feels so good to be kept by someone. " Poppi stretched out her arms, but what she said made both table of them become nervous in an instant.

Malcolm held the glass, and the back of him was Poppi. He took a sip of water carelessly and waited for her to continue.

"You are kept by someone?" Shirley glared at him, "who? Why didn't I know that! An old man? "

"What are you thinking about?" "I mean hospital! I'm staying in the hospital and be cared by nurses! So I didn't need to go to work! You misunderstand me so much. You are so evil. How can I would be a mistress?"

With her lips pursed, Shirley said, "it's your language that isn't good, isn't it, Wendy?"

"Yes. I was shocked too! Poppi. " Wendy said confidently. On the other side, Hugh also patted his chest.

"Shirley just said that we can't sell our bodies." Wendy added.

"I agree with you!" "If you want to sell it, you have to sell it to the young talents. If there were a rich and handsome man to afford me, I would accept him. "

"Shirley..." Wendy looked at her in disbelief. People at the back table were all pulling a long face.

Poppi shrugged and said, "she is the most unprincipled person in the world. Do you know what she has taught me before? "

Wendy shook her head. The people sitting at the back table looked at each other, but obviously they were not averse to the topic and listened to it quietly. Since Poppi and other girls came in, the food on their table was no longer untouched, and they no longer chatted. They were tacitly eavesdropping.

"She taught me how to hook up men." Poppi said casually, while Malcolm, who sitting the table behind her, was completely angry. Poppi continued: "it is said that the best time for a woman to take a bath is to wear a bath towel and walk out of the bathroom. The bath towel can't be too tight or too loose, and the man can easily unfasten it."

"And something else." She added excitedly, "the hair can't be wet. And it also can't be dried at all. Otherwise, you won't be so attractive. When she walked out of the bathroom, she was drying her hair with a towel. She leaned her body a little and didn't look at the man. Instead, she should be a little shy and smile at the man. Perhaps the man would be very attractive if she smiled at him. "

On the other side of the table, Barry's mouth was wide open and he could not help laughing. He whispered in his ear, "awesome! It turns out that all of men were attracted by this way!"

"OK, Poppi and Shirley, how about you two… 'Did you use the same method before.' Is it useful? " Wendy blushed.

"Little Wendy, it's a secret!" The voice of Poppi became sweet and somewhat mysterious, "you are too young to understand it. I will tell you when you are a little older."

Shirley nodded in agreement. "Wendy, have you reached eighteen years old yet?"

"……" Wendy was almost crying, "sister Shirley, I told you that I'm twenty-one years old when we first met! Why do you forget it again? "

"Oh! Really? " With an apologetic smile, Shirley said, "I'm sorry. I can't remember it! Then our Wendy could use that! "

Wendy is so adorable and obedient, just like a bunny. No need for your bad idea, men will be enchanted by it." Replied Poppi.

"That's true." "I'm just worried about your marriage all day long. It's not early for you to get married. Hurry up to find someone and marry him!" Shirley said to Poppi.

"She is still very young!" Said Wendy.

"But she was selected by the leader of our magazines office, and I think she's going to be the minister of editorial office." Taking a sip of water, Shirley said, "If she becomes the section chief, she must be busy all day long. And she doesn't even have time to go to the washroom, she will be let alone have a boyfriend!"

Poppi laughed, "how can it be so cruel? I just don't want to have a boyfriend now."

"Poppi, stop it." She was exasperated at his indifference and said, "If you don't want to have boyfriend now, you will even marry with a good man! I'm so worried… I think Miss Su is great man. He is good in all aspects. He is the best one to as your boyfriend. "

Hearing that, Hugh was dazed for a moment. Then he lowered his head and chuckled all of a sudden.

Looking at each other, Barry and Abner said nothing.

Malcolm glanced at him and then looked away. He had never seen a smile like that on Hugh's face before. Some of them were expectations, some were shy and some were happiness.

'what on earth is Poppi capable of? Which make Hugh never forget her once he remembers it. Even I…' Malcolm thought in his mind.

"Stop it. I have told you not to bring Mr. Su and me together." "He and I are just friends."

The smile on Hugh's face disappeared, like a flash in the pan. Even the atmosphere of whole table was depressed.

"You are such a blockhead. How can you not understand? What's wrong with Mr. Su? His kindness to you is clearly seen... "

"We are just friends. He treats me like a friend." "What's the use of connection between Hugh and me? I see Mr. Su as my friend and Mr. Su said he would be my good friend… We have no further development in our relationship. Aren't you busy in useless? And make us embarrassed. " Poppi can't help but interrupt the words of Shirley.

"You are just friends?" Shirley twitched her mouth in disbelief, "Am I being oversensitive?"

"Of course!" Seeing this, Poppi puckered up her lips and wanted to say something more. But the phone suddenly rang and it was from Teresa. She quickly said sorry to them and stood up. She answered the phone while walking outside, "hello? Director, what happened? "

Hugh looked up and saw half of the back of Poppi. He did not intend to be in a hurry to walk into Poppi's heart step by step, but now it seemed that it would not work. Did Poppi really treat him as a friend? Did she really think that he had no other purpose for her?

After Poppi left, Wendy suddenly remembered something and asked, "sister Shirley, do you still remember Mr. Wei who drank with us in the bar last time?"

"Yes, I do." Shirley nodded, "What's wrong?"

"He… Who is he? " Wendy spoke in a low voice, forgetting that someone was eavesdropping. Not knowing that the topic would suddenly turn to him again, Barry put his arms around his chest and listened quietly, but he felt nervous in his heart somehow.

"Why do you ask him? Did you know him before? "

"I..." Wendy opened her mouth and shook her head, trying to dodge his eye contact. "No, I'm not!"

As soon as Shirley saw that Wendy was a little different from usual, She pretended that he knew nothing about it. She said, "he's from the underworld. Don't provoke him. There are too many women around him. Wendy, don't you have any bad intention? "

"No! Of course not!" Wendy shook her hand immediately. Her face was pale. "I just… I'm just curious! "

"That's good." With a smile, Shirley fixed her eyes on her as if she didn't hear anything, and said slowly, "Wendy, you are so beautiful. You were brought up under sunshine. You shouldn't see the darkness of the society and have something to do with those people."

"Thank you, Shirley!" Wendy's voice was sweet, but the shock in her heart could not be described in words. Barry Wei! That good-looking man was from the underworld unexpectedly…

On the other side of the table, Wendy shrugged and lifted up the cup to drink some water, but the blue veins exuded from the back of his hand sold out his restlessness. What Shirley said was right. He was a person in a mess. He was the dark side of the society, and he was the kind of person who could only seek shelter in the dark…

He was a man of darkness, so he had no connection with light. It had always been like this, without exception.

When Poppi had answered the phone, Wendy asked, "what happened? Do you want us to go back to the company? "

"No, it's not." Poppi shook her head, "the director said he would send me on a business trip to Pebin next weekend and asked if I have time."

"You agreed it?"

"Of course!" "It's a rare opportunity. There are only six people from the periodical office."

"What a wonderful thing! And Poppi you are so excellent"
