Chapter 40 Snatching The Invitation


    "Of course it''s pen. It''s an ordinary pen."


    The little woman in her heart was biting the handkerchief in fury. The voice recorder she had hidden


    had been found by Maynard, so it could only be said to be an ordinary pen if she was beaten to death.


    "Really?" Maynard snorted. She did not know what he meant.


    Vi nodded her head firmly as she would never admit that it was the recorder.


    As if responding to her, Maynard raised his hand and threw the recorder pen into the trash can.


    Vi had been staring at his hand all the time. Seeing that the pen was difficult, she stood up and ran


    to pick up the recorder pen.


    Just then, Maynard''s voice came through from behind.


    "Why are you so nervous? It''s just an ordinary pen."


    With these thoughts in her mind, Vi withdrew her step and looked at him in a mechanical manner, as


    if she was carrying a thread puppet. "Mr. Chu, I''m not nervous at all. I like the color of the pen very


    much. It''s a pity to throw it away."


    "I will pay your pen. You are so nervous. It''s better to exam the pen"


    Maynard took his cellphone out of his pocket and was about to dial a number.


    Noticing that the situation was unfavorable for her, Vi strode over to grab his hand to prevent him


    from his next step.


    "What''s wrong?" Maynard leaned on the sofa and a few strands of hair fell on his forehead, covering


    the teasing light in his eyes.


    Realizing that she was over excited, Vi immediately put on a ttering smile and said, "Mr. Chu,


    there''s no need to call for people to check. I just don''t think it''s appropriate to throw things around. I


    don''t mean anything else."


    Though she said so, her hands were still holding his from beginning to end.


    He must have done it on purpose. He didn''t check her body carefully, but now he was doing it again.


    She had no choice but to take the risk to fool him.


    "Can you let go, reporter?" Maynard looked at their hands and reminded her lightly.


    Following her sight, Vi saw that Maynard''s hands were slender and his fingers were clear. From her


    angle, they looked good. She couldn''t help touching them.


    Maynard was irritated by her behavior of being close to a hooligan, and his face turnedpletely


    ck. "Reporter Qi, if you don''t stop this kind of almost harassing behavior, I will throw you out."


    Realizing what she was doing, Vi released her hands immediately and swallowed hard. "Mr. Chu,


    I''m so sorry. I just touched them."


    She thought to herself, ''Wow, it feels good. I can borrow her for one year.''.


    Maynard sneered.


    Seeing such a cold and ruthless smile that she hadn''t seen for a long time, she shivered and felt


    uneasy.


    It was not until Maynard stood up and returned to his desk that she felt relieved without being noticed


    by anybody else.


    Maynard opened the drawer, took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth. Then he took out the limited


    edition lighter, but before he lit it, Vi captured that it was a chance for her to ingratiate herself with


    him, so she scrambled to grab the lighter from the man''s hand.


    At the same time, Maynard threw a cold eye de at him and ordered, "Give it to me!"


    Vi drew back her neck, trying to smile, like a flower, and said, "Mr. Chu, it''s really dangerous to light


    the fire. Smoking is not good for your health. If you don''t mind me ordering for you."


    Maynard coldly refused, "Give the lighter back, reporter Qi."


    However, Vi only wanted to ingratiate herself with courtesy, so she didn''t respond at all. She hid the


    lighter behind her back and said with a bright smile on her face, "Mr. Chu, don''t be so ungrateful. At


    least, I have served you for so long."


    At this time, the door was opened from the outside. Elly broke in, regardless of Julie who was chasing


    and stopping her.


    zing anger smoldered in Elly''s heart. The sound of her stilettos stepping on the smooth floor was


    especially sharp.


    Seeing the murderous look on her face, a cold sweat started to break out on her back.


    Before she could finish her sentence, she was pushed away by Elly.


    Vi''s body leaned backward, and her back hit the table. Her face turned pale with pain.


    Because of the collision, piles of documents piled on the table were scattered on the ground like


    domino.


    Resisting the urge to scold, she reached out and gently rubbed her aching back.


    "Elly, don''t you know that you should knock first beforeing in?" Maynard put the cigarette back into


    the drawer, stood up and pulled Vi behind him. He took a nce at Julie, who was still chasing after


    Elly.


    The anxiety on Julie''s face hadn''t disappeared yet. She lowered her head and didn''t dare to look at


    him. "Mr. Chu, it''s my fault that I didn''t stop Miss Xia. Please punish me."


    Chauncy took a look at the door, and Julie walked out as if she understood what he meant. Then she


    closed the door when she was about to leave.


    "Maynard, I heard some strange noises outside the vi. I was so worried about you that I was scared.


    I''m sorry," A fluster flitted across her face. She got close to him and was about to put her arm around


    his.


    After a while, the pain she felt on her back was much relieved. As soon as she saw Maynard''s face


    darkened after he pushed away Elly''s hand.


    She smartly put the lighter back into Maynard''s hand and gave a dryugh. "Mr. Chu, I''ll pick up the


    papers first, and then leave you be," she said.


    Margaret carefully squatted down and picked up all the documents on the floor. She saw a delicate and


    gorgeous ck invitation card with three burning roses on it.


    It was obvious that the invitation was sent by a woman, judging from the air of nobility and ambiguity.


    Who the hell sent it?


    Rolling her eyes, she opened it out of curiosity. It was an invitation to a birthday party. She almost


    screamed when she saw it. The invitation in the bottom right corner was from Yesenia, who she had


    racked her brain to interview.


    Upon hearing that, Vi stood up suddenly, smiling happily on her fair face. "Ha ha ha, I am so lucky!"


    Her action caught the attention of Maynard and Elly instantly. The only difference was that Maynard


    frowned when he saw the invitation.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    "It''s the invitation!" As she approached them, she saw the open invitation card in her hand. Her eyes


    were glowing with confidence.


    If she had attended the party together with Maynard, she would have dealt a head-on blow to all people


    who coveted Maynard, so she had stretched out her hand, intending to snatch it.


    Vi quickly avoided the invitation, putting her hand behind her back and said, "Miss Xia, I found it


    first."


    It was a great chance for her and she didn''t want to lose it.


    "Vi, are you daydreaming?" Hearing that, Elly became pissed, which could be seen on her face.


    "Give it to me right now!" she ordered.


    "Don''t even think about it!"


    If she had given her the money, how could she have the chance to meet Yesenia andplete the


    nearly difficult interview task given by Stephanie?


    "If you be as capable as you are, I''ll beat you to a pulp!" She didn''t even have time to put on the


    clothes with knitted brows and rushed to the reporters to snatch the invitation.


    Vi ran as fast as she could. The two of them ran around the table as well as Maynard.


    The cold air around him spread out continuously. To their surprise, he didn''t take any action.


    Elly had been spoiled from childhood and never experienced any hardship. After she chased a few


    times, she couldn''t stand it anymore. She leaned against the table, panting.


    A wave of dizziness came over her. Vi felt the other side of the table dizzy.
