He actually took me to the Employee Cafeteria for lunch.
In the middle, I ran into someone who greeted him, someone unaware of the situation, and he expressionlessly introduced me: "This is my wife, Qiu Yuhan."
My jaw nearly dropped, and my eyes were on the verge of popping out.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the man walking beside me deliberately slow down his pace; I really wanted to pinch my own thigh.
He, however, showed no discomfort. After entering the Management Team's restaurant, he glanced at me and explained nonchalantly, "I need to have a legitimate reason; I don't want the company's employees to think I'm a casual man."
What happened to his face?
He openly brought women home and did those things; it was even more so outside. I've heard about him bringing female companions more than once or twice. Why today, in his own company, is he suddenly concerned about his image? His hypocrisy almost made me believe him.
But regardless, this wasn't a good place to argue with him. If I dared to expose his "glorious deeds," I could bet I'd immediately see myself in a miserable state.
I lowered my head and ate, using food to silence myself. However, by the afternoon, I could no longer stay at his company. I made an excuse that I needed to go to the mall to pick out a holiday gift for Mina.
He smugly asked, "Do you have money?"
It hurt; he poked right where it hurt. He truly had a lot of bad intentions.
I stood there holding my breath and said nothing.
A card slid across the table and came to a steady stop right in front of me.
Xiao Minxing said, "Buy two, just like Mina's. I want to give it to my female companion."
I rolled my eyes in frustration. What did I say? This is a wolf in sheep's clothing, putting on one act in front of people and another behind their backs. Does he think his employees are blind and can't see what he's doing outside?
He wants it to be just like Mina's? Can his so-called female companions even compare to Mina?
Now that the money is in my hands, he can't blame me for being rude.
Feeling resentful, I decided to browse through those extremely low-quality stalls first, trying to pick items that were tasteless and had an incredibly low vibe. I successfully made a purchase for fifty-eight dollars.
As for Mina's gift, that needed to be chosen with care.
Since it's a traditional Valentine's Day, the gift must be romantic and valuable.
In the years I've known Mina, initially neither of us had any men around. Every holiday, seeing couples together, we would laugh and go out together, exchanging gifts.
Many people thought there was something off about our orientation, but only we knew that we were just two friends finding solace in this lonely city.
She doesn't lack for jewelry; she's an extremely independent woman who never relies on others to buy what she likes.
Moreover, I really couldn't afford to spend extravagantly with Xiao Minxing's money. Aside from the one hundred dollars he gave me as a tip last time, this was the first time he handed me money. When I secretly checked how much was inside when buying the first gift, I found there were actually over several hundred thousand.
It was indeed shocking, but I also had self-awareness. Receiving this card did not mean that I could spend all the money inside.
I browsed through layer after layer, having checked every counter, yet I couldn't find a suitable gift. In the end, I could only buy a crystal-studded bracelet. I thought, just like every year, I would bring a bouquet of flowers to her downstairs. Amidst the curious gazes of others, she would smile and invite me into her home.
