Ji Aier felt that she was like a thorn in the side of others, something that they had to get rid of, but she could only face all this helplessly!
"I also made a cup of coffee for you. I didn't know if you wanted sugar and milk, so I didn't add them," Huang Xin said, turning to Ji Aier after serving Ji En's coffee. There was a smile on her face, but it made Ji Aier feel terrified. It seemed that she had a great deal of hatred for her. There was hostility in her smiling eyes.
"Thank you!" Although she didn't have the habit of drinking coffee, Ji Aier still reached out to take it. To her surprise, Huang Xin deliberately splashed the scalding coffee out, and it directly landed on her hand.
"Ah—" Ji Aier endured the pain and didn't make a sound, but she heard Huang Xin let out a cry, which startled her. "Don't you like coffee? Why did you splash it on me!"
"You—" Ji Aier couldn't believe what she heard. Huang Xin was actually telling a blatant lie.
From this angle, Ji En couldn't see what was happening at all. He could only hear Huang Xin's cry of pain.
"What are you doing?" Ji En stood up very unhappily, walked over to them, pushed Ji Aier aside, and led Huang Xin to rinse her hand with cold water.
Ji Aier covered her scalded hand, and tears rolled down. For the same scald, she felt a world of difference between how Raymond and Ji En treated her. She could no longer feel Ji En's concern.
She pushed open the door of Ji En's office and walked out, just bumping into Xiao Yu who came to find Ji En.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu asked with pity when he saw Ji Aier walking out of Ji En's office with tears in her eyes. Since Ji En brought Ji Aier back, he often thought of the words Raymond said to him, which seemed to imply something.
"Nothing!" Ji Aier said, biting her lower lip to hold back the tears that were about to fall. She bypassed Xiao Yu and walked towards the corner.
Ji Aier looked at the scenery outside the window. From here, she could almost see the whole panorama of the city. Standing at such a high place now, she felt as humble as an ant in the wind, tottering.
She remembered a brain teaser: How did an ant die when it fell from a height of ten thousand meters?
The answer was: It was scared to death!
If she were like an ant falling from here at this moment, would she also be scared to death during the fall?
When Ji En and Huang Xin walked out of the restroom, they didn't see Ji Aier. Hadn't he told her that she wasn't allowed to leave his sight without his permission? Did she take his words as a mere whisper in the ear?
"Did you see Ai'er?" Ji En asked Xiao Yu who just came in.
"I just met her and she walked towards the right side of the corridor," Xiao Yu said truthfully. He didn't know if something else had just happened. Ji Aier didn't look right. He saw Huang Xin standing aside and seemed to realize that this was related to her again.
"Delay the meeting by ten minutes. Huang Xin, since your hand is injured, you don't need to attend. Xiao Yu, help me get the documents that will be used in the meeting later!" After giving these instructions, Ji En walked out of his office and headed towards the right side of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, Ji En saw Ji Aier leaning closely against the window.
"What are you doing?" Ji En stepped forward and pulled Ji Aier away from the window.
Ji Aier didn't understand why he treated her like this. She hadn't done anything just now. She was scalded by Huang Xin and was even wrongly accused. And at this moment, she was just standing here. Why was he still so fierce to her!
