The boss of a wealthy family is too clingy, and the beautiful secretary wants to quit

"Secretary An, I remember you said you had no plans for marriage."

Jiang Huaian's voice was a little hoarse, and each word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with difficulty.

An Ran turned her head away slightly so that no one could see her tear-filled eyes.

"I changed my mind," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Jiang Huainian's throat felt like it was being strangled and he couldn't breathe.

"So, you've been distant from me these past few days because you're afraid your boyfriend will misunderstand you?"

He tried his best to make his voice sound as natural as possible.

An Ran endured the sourness in her nose, gritted her teeth, and replied firmly: "Yes."

This simple word seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

Jiang Huaian sneered a few times, "Okay, very good..."

The eyes staring at Anran were extremely cold in the hot weather.

He put the necklace he was holding tightly in his hand into his trouser pocket and walked away.

bump--

The moment the door closed.

An Ran collapsed and sat down on the ground. The tears in her eyes burst out uncontrollably and fell heavily on the carpet.

She wiped away her tears vigorously, slowly stood up and walked towards the dressing table.

There, is the necklace he gave her.

She walked quickly to the dressing table and scanned it anxiously.

There was no box, and no sign of the necklace!

Her heart sank suddenly and she felt a bad premonition.

She frantically rummaged through everything on the table, her palms sweating and her mind in a mess.

However, the necklace seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving no trace!

She knelt on the ground, moved the tables and chairs away, and looked around.

She searched the entire dressing room, leaving no corner untouched, but still couldn't find the necklace!

She was extremely anxious and panicked, and she couldn't think calmly.

She felt a desperate pain, as if her heart was being torn apart.

At this time, the makeup artist walked in from the door and saw An Ran lying on the ground, searching for something in a panic.

She spoke slowly and guiltily, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I went out to find a box and the necklace is no longer on the table."

After hearing the makeup artist's apology, An Ran became even more flustered and desperate.

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

She asked in a trembling voice: "When did it happen..."

The makeup artist felt uneasy when she saw An Ran's panicked expression.

"I'm sorry, I took a call and found that there was no box in the dressing room. I went out to find a box, and when I came back, I found that the necklace was not on the table."

An Ran’s face was pale and she stared at the makeup artist with empty eyes.

The makeup artist bit her lip and said, "I'll compensate you. I'm really sorry!"

Anran shook her head helplessly.

"It's a pity that there is no surveillance in the dressing room..." the makeup artist said in a low voice with her head down.

monitor!

There is no powder room, but there is in the hallway!

An Ran quickly walked out of the dressing room and headed towards the monitoring room.

A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

She came to the monitoring room, explained the situation to the staff, and requested to see the corridor surveillance of the dressing room.

The staff nodded and began to play back the video.

An Ran stared at the screen closely, her palms sweating.

Time seemed to be stretched out, and every second made An Ran feel extremely tormented.

After the makeup artist left, a colleague walked in with the materials after the ribbon-cutting ceremony and came out quickly.

After that, it was just Jiang Huainian and her.

An Ran quickly picked up the phone and tremblingly called her colleague.

"When you carried the materials into the dressing room, did you see a necklace on the dressing table?" she asked anxiously, her hands shaking uncontrollably.

My colleague was silent for a while, then recalled, "I was carrying a lot of things when I went in, and I accidentally knocked over a few lipsticks on the dressing table. They all fell to the ground, and I picked them up."

"Maybe it fell in a corner? I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't check carefully."

"I understand, thank you." An Ran hung up the phone and stared ahead with empty eyes.

She slowly stood up and walked out of the monitoring room.

Anran returned to the dressing room and found the contact information left by the cleaning lady.

"If you see my necklace while cleaning, please give me a call."

The aunt agreed readily and left her phone number.

Anran sat quietly on the chair in the dressing room, her heart feeling empty.

She reached out and touched her empty neck.

With the loss of the necklace, this secret love should end completely and we should let go of this hopeless relationship.

She sighed deeply, then pulled herself together and changed back into her professional attire.

Despite the turmoil in her heart, she tried hard to maintain a calm appearance.

She walked out of the dressing room and headed towards her work area.

The opening activities are still going on and everything is going smoothly.

She kept a close eye on every process to make sure everything went according to plan.

She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the store closed at night.

"Secretary An, thank you for your hard work today." A colleague from the planning department walked up to her and said gratefully.

"I heard that President Jiang left after cutting the ribbon." A colleague from the Planning Department observed An Ran's expression and asked tentatively.

An Ran nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Her heart seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't breathe.

With the end of the event, An Ran's work also came to a temporary end.

She quietly packed her things and prepared to leave.

***

Jiang Huainian sat alone in the dim office, staring at the night outside the window with empty eyes.

The moonlight shone through the window onto his quiet face, reflecting a hint of loneliness.

The cigarette was held between his fingertips, trembling slightly.

Wisps of smoke came out of his mouth and slowly dissipated in the air.

The ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts, and each cigarette butt seemed to carry his pain.

That day, he seemed to be trapped in an endless vortex, surrounded by painful emotions.

He could not get his thoughts off An Ran, and he could not concentrate on his work at all.

His eyes occasionally glanced at An Ran's empty workstation.

Jiang Huainian's heart was filled with loss, and his world suddenly became empty and lonely.

An Ran has a boyfriend.

She didn't even care about the necklace she gave her and just threw it away casually.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Jealous?

Jiang Huai Nian, you are so ridiculous.

You arrogantly think that there is a different kind of relationship between you and Anran.

She doesn't like you at all.

Then he and the necklace in his pocket were thrown into the trash can.

At that moment, his heart seemed to be thrown into the trash can and ruthlessly abandoned.

"Assistant Chen, hasn't President Jiang signed yet?" asked a colleague.

Special Assistant Chen shook his head slightly.

Colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment. Mr. Jiang has always been a very decisive and highly efficient person, but today he was a little abnormal.

"Should we urge Mr. Jiang?" a colleague suggested.

Special Assistant Chen frowned and said, "Wait a minute."

He knew in his heart how Jiang Huainian felt about An Ran.

He had never experienced this kind of feeling in his past, and he had not felt so painful even when Shen Wenyin was engaged.

Although I felt a little lost at that time, it was not as painful as it is now.

It's so hard to truly fall in love with someone, but it's too late...
