Just then, Huo Jue, along with the mall manager, walked up to Xia Jin. Huo Jue’s shiny black leather shoes stopped next to the milk tea on the ground. The contrast between the leather and the translucent milk tea was stark.

It was just like Huo Jue, who had a mocking expression on his face, and Xia Jin, who was in a sorry state.

Xia Jin stood up. Milk tea was still dripping from her clothes, and people passing by cast surprised glances at her.

“Manager Du, the cleaning staff of your mall hasn’t come over yet. Is it because you don’t have enough staff?” Huo Jue said calmly.

The mall manager broke out into a cold sweat instantly. He nodded hurriedly and bowed. “I’ll have the cleaning staff to come and clean the place right away.” As he said that, the mall manager frowned and looked at Xia Jin, saying with some dissatisfaction, “This lady, why can’t you be more careful? Look at what you’ve done to our floor!”

The mall manager was not dense. He knew to shift the blame on Xia Jin for this matter.

Jian Yan, who had just been apologizing profusely to Xia Jin, was now like a mute. She did not say a word and just watched.

Xia Jin frowned. She did not want to argue with the mall manager in front of Huo Jue. Thus, she lowered her head and suppressed the anger in her heart. “I’m sorry.”

The mall manager sighed exaggeratedly and then waved his hand. “Forget it. Just be more careful in the future.”

Xia Jin turned around and was about to leave when Huo Jue’s cold voice rang out lazily. “This young lady bumped into my secretary and hasn’t apologized yet.”

Xia Jin froze. Then, she turned around and glanced at Huo Jue, then at Jian Yan.

Oh, the secretary Huo Jue was referring to should be his new secretary.

Jian Yan was also from the secretary’s office, but she had been in charge of other matters before, so Xia Jin did not have much contact with her.

She did not expect her replacement would come just after she left.

Just now, Xia Jin was bumped by Jian Yan, and the force of that collision was not small.

If Jian Yan had really bumped into her accidentally, there was no way she would have been hit so badly.

She was not looking for trouble with Jian Yan, and Huo Jue still had the face to ask her to apologize to Jian Yan?

The smell of milk tea was very strong on Xia Jin at the very moment. She was in a wretched state, but her eyes were steeply tinged with a touch of severity.

“When did Mr. Huo see that I bumped into Miss Jian? Just now, Miss Jian kept apologizing to me. The one who bumped into me was clearly her!” Xia Jin’s eyes glanced at Jian Yan icily.

She had no enmity with Jian Yan. Why did this woman bump into her deliberately?

Xia Jin seemed to have somewhat understood after she thought of Huo Jue’s arrival.

Jian Yan was probably trying to make a fool of Xia Jin in front of Huo Jue!

This woman was really vicious.

Xia Jin sneered and took a step towards Jian Yan. “Isn’t that right, Miss Jian?”

Jian Yan did not expect Huo Jue to ask Xia Jin to apologize, and even more so, she did not expect Xia Jin to dare to refute Huo Jue directly. She could not help but take a step back, looking a little flustered.

She had indeed bumped into Xia Jin on purpose just now. Seeing Xia Jin carrying so much milk tea in her hands, she had the idea of making Xia Jin embarrass herself in front of everyone.

She had just become Huo Jue’s secretary. When she thought about how Xia Jin had been with Huo Jue for five years, she was worried that Xia Jin would come back and steal her position. In addition, she was also jealous that Xia Jin had been by Huo Jue’s side for five years.

Jian Yan was long attracted to her tall and handsome boss. Xia Jin had been by Huo Jue’s side all day long, and there had been rumors about the two of them in the company. Thus, she had long been displeased with Xia Jin.

Seeing Xia Jin approaching her gradually, Jian Yan said in a flustered tone, “I didn’t bump into you. You clearly didn’t pay attention and bumped into me!”

Hearing Jian Yan’s words, Xia Jin sneered–this woman had the audacity to say that!

All of a sudden, Xia Jin reached out her hand and clutched Jian Yan’s wrist. “Can’t we just look at the surveillance footage and find out who actually bumped into whom?”

Jian Yan’s eyes were filled with fear as she struggled desperately. “Let go of me! I didn’t bump into you…”

Although Jian Yan was still denying it, her tone sounded a little guilty.

“That’s enough! Manager Du, are you going to watch her attack my secretary here?!” Huo Jue’s cold and stern voice rang out. Manager Du immediately reacted and rushed forward to grab Xia Jin’s hand. He said in a somewhat anxious tone, “Stop fighting, let’s talk things out…”

Xia Jin jerked her head up and looked at Huo Jue with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Huo Jue, in order to take revenge on me, you can’t even distinguish right from wrong?

Looking at Xia Jin’s angry and interrogating eyes, Huo Jue acted as if he did not see it. He walked straight to Jian Yan’s side and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

Jian Yan was still in a state of shock and nodded hastily. “Yes, Mr. Huo!”

As the two of them were preparing to leave, Jian Yan was delighted to see that the person Huo Jue had been defending was herself. Then, she turned her head and raised her eyebrows at Xia Jin smugly, revealing a provocative smile.

Xia Jin looked at Huo Jue and Jian Yan. A wave of darkness came over her eyes, and she clenched her hands tightly.

As she watched them leave, Xia Jin finally could not hold on any longer. The world spun before her eyes, and she lost consciousness and fainted..
