no appointment

Tea time.

Perhaps because today is Friday, there are quite a lot of people in the coffee shop downstairs of UBS. At first glance, there are investment bank staff in suits and leather shoes. Among them, there are five or six people in formal suits sitting at a table by the window. It's just that three of them are different from the others.

Bo Jing leaned on the chair next to the window, pressing her forehead with her fingers, the exhaustion from staying up late last night until four o'clock still hasn't improved, she has maintained such a tired-looking state all day long.

Sitting on the opposite side were still acquainted rich second generations, and no newcomers joined their table.

At this time, the waitress brought up a three-tier English dessert tower, filled with muffins, strawberry fruit tarts, mini cakes, savory sandwiches and other afternoon tea snacks.

As soon as the Russian girl put down her phone, she was taken aback by this gesture, "There are already so many desserts, who ordered the dessert tower?" She looked at the cakes that could no longer be placed on the table, and added with a frown, "You guys are too Exaggeration, who wants to gain weight?"

Brian raised his finger and pointed at Bo Jing beside him, "Who else ordered it?"

Bo Jing's lazy eyes glanced around and fell on Brian's face, "It's a pity that I can't be fat," she said, her thin arms resting on the chair, and she was about to straighten up to pick it up, but saw Amy's eyes lit up, and she saw that her hands were stretched out in front of the mini cake.

Bo Jing said coldly, "Put your hands down, this is mine alone."

Amy was startled by her tone, and quickly shrank back.

"You'd better not compete with Laura, she can eat as much as two when she is extremely tired,"

Brian said strangely, seeing Bo Jing glaring at him, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, who is that Chinese girl sitting next to you today, why don't you ask her to come with you?"

Bo Jing was slightly taken aback, "You mean Shen Qin?"

That smile came into my mind, and Bo Jing remembered for some reason that she was leaning against the wall in the club and almost couldn't help kissing her. She was a little uncomfortable and replied vaguely, "I don't know her well." familiar, why did you call her?"

Bo Jing was feeling a little embarrassed, when suddenly, she noticed that Brian was looking behind her, his eyes brightened obviously.

Suddenly, she was patted on the shoulder, "..." She turned her head slowly, and saw Shen Qin standing behind her at some point, looking at herself with a smile, "Excuse me, can I sit here?" ?”

Bo Jing's face turned a little green, she looked at Shen Qin's undiminished smile, and felt a little guilty, what did she just say - I don't know her well?

"Okay." She made room for Shen Qin with a sullen face, but felt a little regretful in her heart.

It was completely different from the past, this time everyone was very tolerant of Shen Qin, no one stood up, and sent back like before: "Sorry, there are already people." Even if there is no one sitting here.

Of course Bo Jing understands why, just look at Brian and the indifferent Middle Eastern boy opposite. "Sit down, please," - the Middle Eastern boy even pulled a chair for Shen Qin.

Brian sat up straight, "Hey, I saw you this morning, but I vaguely remember seeing you sitting in another seat a few days ago," he stretched out his hand to Shen Qin, smiling like a different person.

Shen Qin smiled politely at him and put the coffee on the table, "Yes, I was in another group last week,"

"But from today, I will be transferred to Jing Han's team," she sat down gracefully on the chair, and shook hands with Brian again, "I heard Suet introduce you, are you all from Barclays?"

There was always a smile on Shen Qin's lips, "It's a pity, then I won't be able to see you next week."

Before she could put away her smile, the middle-eastern boy next to her closed the book, "That's not true, we can come out together at afternoon tea," he didn't think the answer was particularly abrupt at all, and his usual indifferent face looked like A little relieved, there was even a slight smile on the corner of his lips, "Call me ali"

Bo Jing looked at the two of them who had obviously become attentive, and her face darkened.

But what made her feel depressed the most was that when Shen Qin talked with the two of them, he always looked friendly and polite, and his voice was still so soft.

Bo Jing was a little bored, and picked up the dessert obviously unhappy, but before she touched the biscuit, she felt a thump in her heart, wait, Bo Jing suddenly thought of a question—it seemed that Shen Qin had never told She likes women, right?

She stopped, and the thought made her even more depressing.

Shen Qin obviously noticed Bo Jing's abnormality, and her bright eyes met her, "Do you mind if I eat?" She looked straight at Bo Jing, with a deeper smile in the corner of her eyes.

Bo Jing glanced at her, then avoided her eyes again, "...don't mind," she didn't think about it at all, she replied in a low voice, and pushed the knife and fork forward again.

The Russian girl on the opposite side also noticed the changes in the expressions of the other people, and joked with a smile: "You are the first one sitting here..." She didn't finish speaking.

Shen Qin didn't understand, she hooked her lips, "What's the first one?"

The Russian girl smiled, but did not answer.

At this time, machal's voice suddenly came from the next table. He seemed to have just finished his work. While talking on the phone in a low voice, he put the coffee on the seat of the next table and sat down on the stool.

"Oh dear, I didn't mean that."

He seems to have been apologizing to the woman on the other end of the phone, with a sincere and anxious tone, "I love you, of course I love you, but this has nothing to do with love, I just don't understand, I..."

But machal didn't finish his sentence at all, and the other party hung up the phone. He looked at the phone screen in surprise, "hang up?!" He put the phone on the table angrily.

Someone next to him asked him what happened.

Machal's tone was a little anxious, "My wife, isn't she my wife?"

Machal has not been married for a long time, but almost the entire department knows about his relationship with his wife. Two years ago, the two met in a bar. The other party was an Indian woman with a good figure. She almost won Machal at first sight. Heart, it didn't take long for the two of them to go from being passionately in love to getting married.

But this woman is not liked by other colleagues at all.

Everyone knows that she has a low education and earns far less than machal from her job, but she will make some material demands with machal. In a word, she is completely incompatible and cannot do well.

But this time it was—"She insisted on creating a joint account with me. It's been a week of trouble. I don't understand why."

It was not the first time that machal talked about this matter during tea time. They all heard the complaints from the next door clearly at the table, but as usual, they ignored him.

The same goes for Bo Jing, who leaned back in her chair and listened for a while, but was not interested at all.

But soon, she found that the atmosphere at her table started to become strange. At some point, Brian even leaned forward and started talking to Shen Qin, and even talked about asking her out on the weekend .

Even Ali, a boy from the Middle East, said, "Do you like Spain?"

Shen Qin was slightly taken aback, then replied with a smile, "I've been there once, in Barcelona, ​​and I like the music there."

Ali nodded in satisfaction, and then even suggested, "I wanted to say it before," he looked around, "My family has a villa in Ibiza, if you have no other arrangements for Christmas, I can invite You go and play."

When mentioning the island, everyone's emotions were a little high, but it was clear that Ali's suggestion was aimed at one person.

Of course Bo Jing could see clearly, she kept looking at Shen Qin's side face, but never put away that beautiful smile, for some reason, the fire in her heart came up immediately.

Bo Jing took a deep breath, and suddenly raised her voice and said, "She loves your money."

The whole table fell silent.

Brian raised his head when he heard Bo Jing's voice, and looked at her strangely, "Laura, what did you say?"

Not only Brian, they all looked at Bo Jing at the table and next door.

And Bo Jing turned her head to look at the machal at the next table, raised her voice and repeated, "I said, what your wife loves is your money."

Bo Jing didn't know why she suddenly meddled in her own business, but she couldn't help it, her voice became so cold, "Why are you so simple, she is not a high caste in India, let alone a slave, obviously the family doesn't even have much assets , don’t you think you’ve been used for earning so much money?”

"Why do you open a joint account? How can you ask such a question?" Bo Jing seemed to be pouring her troubles on machal.

Machal got a little angry, "What do you know, don't talk about her like that."

Bo Jing paused, as if she also realized her gaffe, and didn't want to argue with the other party, she glanced at him and turned around, and because someone at the next table was trying to persuade her, although machal wanted to argue with her, but still Picked up the coffee and left.

The farce came out of nowhere, and everyone was a little surprised.

The Russian girl on the opposite side looked at Bo Jing and kept shaking her head, "Laura, you shouldn't have said that, you know it's too hurtful even if it's the truth."

Brian also temporarily forgot the topic just now, looked at Bo Jing and said, "You surprised me again today."

Of course, it is impossible for Bo Jing to admit why she was so impulsive all of a sudden, "That's because you are all too hypocritical, don't tell me when you will wait until his money is cheated?" Her deep eyes swept around, and she He answered in a cold voice.

Her eyes met Shen Qin's inadvertently, "..." Shen Qin lowered her eyes and took a sip of her coffee, then looked at her with slightly curved eyes. In an instant, Bo Jing felt that her aura just now seemed like Gone.

"I'm going back to the office," Bo Jing said in a low voice, throwing down the knife and fork.

When she stood up, she vaguely heard Ali continuing to invite Shen Qin, or just about going to the island for vacation during Christmas, "You know there is a bubble club there..."

Bo Jing didn't want to listen anymore, but in the next second, she heard Shen Qin answering with a smile behind her, "I'll go as soon as she goes."

Bo Jing thought she had heard something wrong, so she stood still and looked back at Shen Qin, "..." Shen Qin raised her eyes and looked at herself with a smile: "Laura, are you going?"

……

The moment she heard her pronounce her name, Bo Jing felt as if she had been electrified.

But she didn't know what was going on, she paused for a while, then turned her head straight, "No, I'm going back to Italy for Christmas."
