Woman In Irish Linen Shirt

Miss Pan De unexpectedly behaved calmly after I finished speaking. The complexity in her eyes was removed bit by bit. At first I thought it was a cover up, but the content is becoming simpler and simpler.

In the end, it was obvious.

There was only warmth in her eyes.

"Are these all your concerns?" Miss Pan De's confidence returned, as if reality is not worth mentioning in front of her, just a dust-like difficulty that can be easily wiped away by dusting the dust. "Conflict of interest?"

I was stunned for a while before saying: "I thought it was enough. You obviously value this project, and I also care about my professional reputation. It is difficult for us to develop a healthy romantic relationship."

"A healthy romantic relationship requires mutual respect, understanding, and mutual liking for two people, not anything else." She looked at me, seemingly pointed, "Don't you like me?"

I'm speechless, don't look around, Yu Guang noticed her smiling.

This woman...

But in order not to make her feel uncomfortable, such an important matter, I must make it clear. I quickly forced myself to hold back and said, "This is not a question of liking or disliking, Sania. Avoidance of conflict of interest is something that is clearly written in the employment contract. You know that I value this job very much. Now apply for avoidance... it is even more difficult for you. The project you talked about has to be handed over to others. I can't see you do such a thing."

She put her chin in one hand and narrowed her eyes: "Some people really have a lot of rules in their hearts."

I don't want to make a joke, and emphasized: "This is the most basic office rule."

Miss Pande glanced at me and picked up the spoon: "So you don't want to date me?"

My ears are about to burn red, and I have difficulty maintaining my calm: "As I just said, my will has nothing to do with this. Such things will seriously affect our career development, even if we include other consulting companies. , How many partners are there in the world who are as young as you?"

"How many of you are there in the world?" Her eyes suddenly became serious, and she asked me back.

My cheeks were suddenly hot and I didn't dare to look at her. I buried my head and mechanically sent a mushroom into my mouth, chewing and swallowing it.

Miss Pan De did not urge me, but sighed gently when I finally raised my head again, and said: "Do you think you have told me all your concerns?"

I pursed my lips: "I think there is nothing missing."

"Let me summarize, your concern is that under the current cooperative relationship, the conflict of interest between us avoids the problem, right?" She always stared at me, not allowing me to escape, "You neither dislike me, It’s not that you don’t want to date me. It’s just because of work, right?"

I was a little hot, but still said: "Your summary is in place."

"I still like when you speak more directly." Her eyebrows finally relaxed and she laughed, "But it's not bad, I will say it is the kind of cuteness that I just know how to appreciate. Yao, can you please? Listen to my thoughts?"

I felt soft and nodded: "Okay."

She looked at me very tenderly, and there was no intimate movement, but I was stupefied and felt that she gently stroked my cheek, as if she could do such an incredible thing just by looking in her eyes.

Miss Pan De spoke after a long gaze: "I like you. I enjoy the time I spend with you, and hope that I will often get opportunities like this in the future. For a momentary infatuation, people's personal affairs affect work, of course. Not professional enough...but just because of this makes me pretend that I don't feel anything. I don't want to give up the opportunity to try.

"I want to date you. I want to see you on weekends, share with you delicious, fresh, and everything around me, to understand your hobbies, your tastes, and you as a person." Miss De's brows moved, her eyes deep, "And when everything goes well, if we are willing to start a romantic adventure together, the conflict of interest will be formally established. At that time, I will apply to avoid suspicion."

I can't speak, and don't open my eyes. After a while, I said: "This will be a too great sacrifice."

"That's my business." She tilted her head. "You only need to tell me your wishes."

"There are still a lot of details we need to discuss..." I looked back at her, considering the words.

Who can reject this woman?

I moved my throat: "First of all I hope to make one thing clear: Is our cooperation still established?"

Miss Pan De frowned slightly: "You are still very important to us. From the perspective of BCG Singapore’s employees, I still don’t want to lose a key partner like you-but as myself, honestly Say I don’t care. We can listen to you."

"Okay." I looked at her. "What about general project work?"

There was a sly in her eyes: "Of course, I won't let my private life affect my work in general."

"When we meet in personal capacity," I said, "can't directly or indirectly extract information from each other."

"I agree."

"Neither consciously nor unconsciously."

"Wow." She looked at me and thought for a moment, "I can't promise something that I can't control, but I think I can promise you that I will be more vigilant in this regard and do my best to make you upright. To lose."

I squinted: "I thought we were on the same side."

Miss Pan De's expression is a bit playful: "It is difficult for us to know the truth until the last minute."

I couldn't help laughing. She didn't really believe me.

But it's amazing. At this moment, I was neither trembling nor feeling a bit exhausted. There is an unprecedented sense of lightness that I don’t know where it comes from. It relaxes and becomes soft, like washing up and having fun by a campfire after dark. Today’s wind and frost have been washed away, and I know that there is still tomorrow.

I didn't ask where it came from, but I saw where it was going.

"Can I treat you to dinner?" I looked at Miss Pande and said.

She was startled, a little shy, but still smiled and said, "I thought you would have paid for this meal."

"So," I paused, "Is this our first date?"

"No." She immediately rejected the idea. "There is a whole set of precautions for the first date. I hope it will be carried out with a plan."

I seem to be unable to help smiling since just now: "Well, I will pick the restaurant well and dress me up."

"No, no." Miss Pande refused me again, "You dress up, I drive, I pay for dinner."

Her sudden strength made me a little confused as to why, but I was taken aback for a moment, and still nodded and said, "If you want that?"

"That's my wish." She blinked, "let it come true."

I looked at her and smiled deeper unconsciously: "Okay."

We made an appointment for the first date next Saturday. She came to pick me up at five and asked me to wear shoes that are more convenient for walking. I naturally have no reason to disagree, just to be as complete as possible on the weekend, and the following work week will be busy.

When I got home and turned on the computer, I let out a long sigh.

Confused--

Why did I promise her?

Today I took a roller coaster in my mood. There is a huge difference between the situation before dawn and after dark. For a while, I don't know whether to be happy or worry first: but my enthusiasm cannot be cooled, and my brain cannot settle down. It felt like you were wandering in the tropics, eager to find a snowflake, and then a snowflake really collided with you head-on.

But snowflakes are shorter than fireworks. There is no sign in my mind. Is there any better analogy?

It doesn't seem to be true.

Because I never thought that this could happen.

Miss Pan De likes me. Miss Pan De said that she wanted to take an adventure with me... I was hit by the enthusiasm hidden in her words once again. I couldn't read half a word of the email. I covered my face and held my breath for a while. In the end, I regained my composure, took a deep breath, and patted my face with both hands.

Tomorrow I have to report to the big boss. He hates video conferences. I have to go to the company anyway.

It is possible to see her when I go to the company, no matter what is to protect or hide, I have to be worthy of my job.

In a short period of time, Jocelyn will probably urge a second time about Miss Pende's situation. I have to deal with this as soon as possible. In addition, for the "many jobs" that the big boss has given me, I still hope to be able to resign. If the work on the company side can be as simple as possible, of course the lack of close cooperation between me and BCG can be declared broken.

In this way, not only do I not have to be so restrained in doing things, but I can let go of gambling with them; the relationship between us will also be much cleaner.

I mean Miss Pande and I.

We actually had personal contact other than the project cooperation. Although she was very close to me yesterday, her fragrance and her temperature are still fresh in my memory, but as soon as I returned to my own home, when I returned Day after day, my life with nothing but work, I feel like a dream. As if it can only be a dream.

It's different now.

My life seems to finally have content.

The delicate water column of the shower washed away my whole day's rush. My nerves are unbelievably active, as if they are perceptually dissonant. I can only replay the memorable pictures over and over again, like an old-fashioned CD player wrongly working because of scratches on the surface of the disc; and like me, as holding The person with the remote control repeatedly turned it upside down, as if he was possessed.

I hurriedly passed out in a very vague feeling, until I lost consciousness, I was uncharacteristically excited. A voice I have never heard before whispered in my heart:

Wow, I actually want to date her.
