Chapter 288: Could it be him?

“Cover your clothes up with this lest people say that I abuse my employees.”

A low voice echoed inside the car while her head was suddenly covered with a suit jacket. Chu Jiao immediately felt that her hair seemed to be soaked, so she pulled the piece of clothing down, sticking her head out through the opening of the coat before secretly looking at the man sitting next to her.

If she remembered correctly, the person sitting next to her should have nothing to do with her right now, sharing not the slightest hint of a relationship with each other. But, he was also the original object of her drawn out secret longing, the company director, Xiao Qi.

That’s right. She had already returned, back to her original world.

In the last world, she had stayed with Jing Chen until he ascended the throne. However, in the end, she couldn’t stop the progress rate from increasing and was forced to start the countdown by the system.

Before the countdown ended, she wanted to say something but promptly stopped herself from doing so. However, Jing Chen seemed to notice the helplessness and reluctance in her, and gently pressed a kiss on her tear-shaped mole, promising her, “Wait for me.”

Wait for you?

How do I wait for you?

If she were replaced by another female employee of the company, she would probably be dying of happiness from being sent to the doors of her home by the president at this moment. However, Chu Jiao was extremely calm and collected when she bade goodbye to Xiao Qi, returning to her small apartment. Right now, she was still in a muddle-headed state, unable to notice that in the car behind her, the man looked at her with his deep eyes, making anyone feel a familiar tenderness.

“Ah, Chu Jiao, did you go get plastic surgery?”

“Wow, you look completely different without the birthmark!”

“Hey, hey, hey, which beauty salon did you get it done at? Please tell me, tell me!”

Chu Jiao stayed inside her apartment for an entire week, and when she finally sorted out her emotions, she returned to her post. How could she have expected that once she arrived at the company, she would be immediately surrounded by a gaggle of gossiping colleagues.

Moreover, there was no other reason for it, she didn’t know if it was an additional reward for completing the task, but her large birthmark had disappeared without a trace upon her return, only replaced by a small teardrop mole on the corner of her eye. The face that looked so unsightly before had now gotten rid of the birthmark, exposing her original countenance. Even though she didn’t have a beautiful face, it was still considered pretty, making it hard for people to come to dislike her.

More importantly, her whole mental state had been completely renewed. Despite being physically dainty, she was quite confident and generous, a complete contrast to how downcast and depressing she was before. When her character changed, every expression she made contained a fierce and powerful attitude in them, making others not dare to bully her easily.

Chu Jiao dismissed everyone with a few words, turning a deaf ear to the envy and sour tones in their words, returning to her desk and familiarly starting her work. In the past, she might have minded the words they spoke, but now, she no longer cared about these insignificant people, nor took their words to heart.

“Oh, I was wondering who it was?” Accompanied with the loud clacking sound of heels, Chu Jiao frowned when she heard the following voice ring in her ears, “Some people should have a little self-awareness. Even if they have plastic surgery, they are nothing more than ugly toads. Or, could you still be trying to climb to the president’s thigh?”
