Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

[47]



“You’re so slow, Victor,” Giselle grumbled as the car Victor was driving entered the lobby area of the SEO building. The beautiful model did not have to wait for someone to open the door for her. She couldn’t wait any longer. She wasn’t content to just talk on the phone even though the news, which had only come the day before, had already excited her.

“What’s she so impatient about?” asked Victor in surprise. He was ready to get out of the car just to make sure Giselle didn’t do anything strange, including not noticing him.

Brina followed down later, letting out a long sigh as she took out Giselle’s bag that she had left behind. “She’s looking forward to meeting her new friend.”

“Oh,” Victor frowned slightly. “The one who said he only joined today?”

“I see.” Brina exhaled tiredly again.

“Looking at your suddenly depressed look, I’m sure you must have gotten a much tougher assignment.” Victor chuckled.

“And I assure you that you were splashed with that heavy duty.”

Brina’s words received a very excited laugh from Victor. Even so, the man’s hand swiftly helped Brina carry quite a lot of luggage.

Meanwhile, Giselle, who was already in the elevator, was a little impatient to get down the hallway to Justin’s room. She stares boredly at the numbers on the elevator’s display. Tapping her feet wrapped in red heels that matched the bandana she wore this afternoon, her return from New Castle was not to her apartment but to her office. For quite a lot of luggage, he had handed it over to Victor.

She only needed to see with her own eyes the news that Giselle had been waiting for come true; Harvey joining her under the same banner.

“Well, you’re back already Giselle?”

“How are you?”

As Giselle exited the elevator, walking down the corridor before turning into Justin’s office, she passed several other junior models. It was impossible not to return their greetings, even if they stopped for a moment to slow down, but Giselle understood that returning their greetings had brought out the spirit in them. Brina once said that Giselle became a model who had a lot of influence on the SEO body. Including the spirit of the juniors to pursue their position.

“Would you like to watch us train, Giselle?” asked one of her juniors. According to Giselle, she has a slim figure and is suitable to be a professional model in the future.

“I think so,” Giselle smiled kindly at the crowd of juniors, which was immediately greeted with laughter and a few whispers about how her training hours should be increased. Don’t let Giselle get embarrassed watching them practice. When else could a senior model like Giselle be noticed. Which made Giselle grimace a little because she didn’t feel that special.

Even so, Giselle still maintains a safe distance to socialize.

“I have to meet Justin, you guys continue practicing.” Feeling that he had enough of the basics, he chose to immediately continue his steps towards Justin’s room. Leaving behind the crowd of juniors who were still noisily talking about Giselle and the promised time. Maybe an hour or two of watching them practice wouldn’t make Brina angry that Giselle had shifted her work time.

“Justin!” Giselle didn’t need to knock on the door of this familiar room. After all, Justin’s office door was wide open, allowing any SEO staff to wander in for a discussion. Justin could usually be disturbed when his office door was open like that.

“Can we not get excited?” Justin chuckled. Sitting relaxed with his cigarette in hand, he stopped. He crushed the remaining long end into the ashtray. Getting up from his seat, he greeted Giselle with his arms stretched wide. “I missed you, Giselle.”

Giselle never refuses anything Justin does to her. It didn’t matter who Justin’s guest was this afternoon, she just wanted to be in his arms. “Me too.” She returned the hug tightly. The smell of Justin’s perfume was mixed with the cigarette that the man must have been enjoying.

“How was NewCastle?” asked Justin as he broke their embrace. scrutinizing with a fairly alert scan the entirety of Giselle in front of him. “I guess you’re really taking Brina at her word about the strict diet.”

“You guys are torturers!” Giselle frowned. “I went on a chocolate fast while in New Castle. You know, there’s a chocolate shop that’s my favorite and I could only look at it from the outside.”

Justin laughed but then pulled Giselle’s hand to sit down. “Today is an exception. I gave you special permission. Brina won’t be mad.”

Giselle squinted suspiciously.

“Don’t make that face. I look like a sinner.” Justin was still laughing at Giselle’s expression, which he found funny.

“You guys are so close,” Harvey said with a surprised chuckle. Ever since Giselle arrived in Justin’s office, he had wanted to greet her and talk. But as it turned out, Giselle was completely distracted by her new boss. she didn’t want to go into the details of how she ended up here. but one thing she did have to say was that she felt Justin was a crazy man.

“We’re actually enemies, it’s just that it’s impossible to show that hostility in front of people,” Giselle said as she smoothed her long hair that was a little messy from the hug earlier. “I’m actually looking forward to meeting you.” She shifted in her seat but then, looking stricken, realized it wasn’t just Harvey in Justin’s room. Instead…

“Andrew?” She stared in disbelief at the man sitting in the other corner. “Since when were you there?”

Andrew, who was Justin’s first guest, could only pull the corners of his lips as thin as possible. Distracting the feelings that were bubbling in his chest with the cup of coffee that was served to him. “I think I was here an hour ago.”

“Looks like you had a fun chat, huh?” asked Giselle with a chuckle.

“I hope so.” Andrew downed his coffee. He was speechless at Giselle’s overly close relationship with Justin. Was it because of this man that Giselle couldn’t be touched? He had guessed at the beginning but never expected to be presented with a scene that made his heart burn.

Until the air conditioning in this room could not immediately dispel this suffocating feeling.

“I’ll send you the schedule for the promotion you requested, Justin.” Andrew got up from his position. Straightened the hem of his blazer suit. Still trying to smile at Giselle who hadn’t taken her eyes anywhere else. To Justin of course. Not to her. Ah… pathetic.

But no. He could not give up now.

“Hans I asked you to contact your side because we are the ones who need help.” Justin laughed. “Are you in a hurry to leave already?”

“There is still a lot to do.”

Justin still maintained his laughter. “In two weeks I want us to have a meeting. Can you make time? It doesn’t matter if it’s at The Collage. I’m the one who needs your help for the next little while.”

“For Monochrome?”

“Ah, you’re very good at reading situations.”

Andrew chuckled. “Rumors about this year’s grand show that you’re organizing have been flying around. There’s just no official information yet.”

“I just got into a painful contract with the model who will be doing Monochrome.”

“What did you say?” interrupted Harvey. “Oh my God, I just realized and agree with you, Giselle. Justin is a jerk. I didn’t hurt him. Making him chase me half to death was the right thing to do.”

Justin laughed. “But you were hooked in the end, right?”

Harvey spluttered but couldn’t argue. Meanwhile, Giselle clapped her hands excitedly. “Welcome to the SEO Family. You’ll have to put up with all the craziness Justin can get up to.”

Harvey could only roll his eyes in annoyance. But when Justin approaches and extends his hand, Harvey doesn’t refuse. Instead, he let out a long sigh. “Okay, I surrender my life to you.”

Even Justin’s other hand extended to Giselle, which was clearly not going to be rejected by the star.

“Together… we’ll make SEO soar even higher to the top peaks we can reach together,” Justin said quietly but the handshake wasn’t quiet at all. Instead, it was tight and meaningful. Making the two girls beside him smile excitedly. “I hope our partnership will always be filled with a sense of family, because to me, you’re my precious little sister.”

Andrew couldn’t let go of the interaction between the three of them. Including the change in Giselle’s expression, which seemed disturbed but was perfectly covered with her alluring smile.

In the end, Andrew realized that the alluring smile was to bandage Giselle’s disappointed heart. Could he replace that disappointment and replace that smile with a real smile? Although he wasn’t sure, Andrew grasped one thing; he had a great chance to be next to Giselle.

That’s right. He was confident that he could melt Giselle’s heart even if it took a long time. After all, he also had to take care of his personal affairs first, lest it distract him in the future. As long as Justin’s gaze on Giselle didn’t change, Andrew had plenty of chances to make Giselle turn to him. He was sure of it.

“I don’t mind meeting here, Justin. I’d like to have an interview with an SEO model as well. What do you think?”
