Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 48 How Dare You

"Yes." Malcolm replied carelessly. Then he added, "you seem to be unhappy after buying a car."

Poppi sighed deeply again and said, "don't mention it. I have lost one zero. I am dying of worry. One million and six hundred thousand dollars! It's all over now. I can't get rid of it. Damn it! "

Malcolm slightly moved his eyelids, with a trace of surprise and shock in his eyes. Before he said anything, Poppi rushed over excitedly. She squatted on the ground like a puppy, raised her head and blinked at Malcolm with her big watery eyes, feeling aggrieved and spoiled. "Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Malcolm, have you thought about changing a car? Although you might not like this car was valued one million and six hundred thousand dollars. But this is carefully chosen by me. Would you like to buy this car? "

There were stars in Poppi's eyes which were dazzling and not so glaring but still attracted Malcolm' attention. Before losing his way, Malcolm turned his face away, frowned and said coldly, "No."

"Don't be so sure! Please think about it again! " Poppi couldn't help selling the car. She took out the contract and gave it to Malcolm. "Have a look it please."

Malcolm couldn't persuade her. He took the contract in disgust and glanced at it. "The car is good. What color? "

"Pink."

"……" Malcolm was choked, "do you think it's appropriate for me to drive a pink car?"

"Uh..." The shorter syllable came from Poppi's mouth. she decided to changing the topic of conversation, "then will Sean want to buy a new car? "Now I come to think of it that do you think will Cora want to a new car? If I can sell it to them? And your staffs in your company? Do they need a new car? "

"No, they don't!" Then he decisively refused, "it's your own fault to buy the wrong car. You should be responsible for your own mistakes. No one will help you. "

After hearing what Malcolm said, Poppi got so angry that she pouted her mouth and clenched her teeth, "I knew I asked the wrong person! You're not going to help me. I made a mistake to ask you for help! " She stood up and walked towards the kitchen angrily. "I'm going to post the car information online."

Malcolm slightly turned his head, looked at the back of Poppi and whispered slightly, "I really hate this woman..."

"There are so many shrimps! We went shopping there on a discount. " In the kitchen, Poppi took out a box of shrimps and said, "Malcolm, do you want to eat some boiled shrimps? Or being fried? Steamed? It's too much to make shrimp dumplings. "

Malcolm held a document in his hand and kept reading it, but he didn't take a look at Poppi, "it's up to you."

Poppi shrugged her shoulders. She packed up the shrimps, carrots, meat and began to chop the stuffing with a sound of clatter. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Gee..." A few minutes later, Malcolm couldn't help calling out, "Poppi, keep your voice down."

"A low voice? How can it keep a low voice when someone mince the filling? I can't do what you say. Go to the study if you need to work. Why are you still in the living room? " Poppi did not hesitate to reply.

"Are you revenging on me for not helping you to sell your car?" "Humph!", Malcolm sneered.

"How dare I!" Poppi didn't look at Malcolm, but her tone was full of sarcasm. Her voice of chopping the meat was getting louder and louder, and she with a low voice said, "I'm so angry, so angry..."

Slap!

Then Malcolm slammed the documents on the table and released all the anger of tonight. "Poppi, how dare you be so arrogant? Hugh? Or Benson Ji? "

Benson Ji! Benson Ji……

The voice of Poppi's action was abruptly stopped, which caused by Poppi's hand to a violent stop and her heart was suffering as well. Why did everyone come to her and mention the name of Benson Ji again?

If Celine was the taboo of Malcolm, then Benson Ji was the ban of her. Whoever was mentioned who's taboos will be painful as salt on the wound.

There was dead silence in the room.

"Benson Ji is back." Malcolm added in a deep voice. He could not see the expression on her face, but he could guess it.

"I know." "Mr. Malcolm, I'm sorry. I keep my voice down right now. Please don't be mad at me, I don't mean it "

The voice of Poppi came from the kitchen, after apologizing, the sound of chopping the filling was again, but it was barely audible.

Then he picked up the files from the desk and browsed them. His mind was totally in a mess and his heart was so painful. He felt very annoyed and directly threw the documents out. After that, he slightly bowed, put his hands on his legs, lowered his head, and kept silent for a long time.

While the second hand on the wall was dripping

Only the sound of hammering on the bell could be heard in the room, and so did the sound of Poppi.

It was not until nine o'clock that Malcolm moved his body. He glanced at the kitchen and walked to the kitchen with cold eyes.

There was a faint aroma spreading around the kitchen. Malcolm walked to the kitchen door and looked inside. He saw Poppi in an apron, her back to him making shrimp dumplings. Tab had prepared a shrimp dumpling. The fragrance came from it.

Poppi didn't notice that Malcolm stood behind her. She was making her dumplings silently, with her clean fingers stained with white flour. A shrimp dumpling was formed with one pinch of her hand. Occasionally, her face itched, so she raised her arm to rub her face with the back of her hand gently.

Woman, kitchen, and delicious food…… That was the basic standard for a family. The restless mind of Malcolm calmed a little bit. After he stood for a long time, he saw Poppi take down tab. He said slowly, "it is finally done?"

Poppi's hands shivered with fear and managed to calm down. She did not turn around and just nodded, "yes, you can eat now. There are only two steams of steams. Do you want to some boiled prawns? "

"Okay." Then he turned around and went to the dining table, waiting for Poppi to prepare the "shrimp banquet". Neither of them mentioned the quarrel just now. They had tacitly hidden it in their hearts, but they didn't know it would slowly expand like a crack, keeping the distance between them.

It seemed that they waited for a long time before Malcolm finally saw his dinner. Poppi put the shrimp dumplings and a plate of boiled shrimps in front of Malcolm, "have it, if you need anything, just telll me."

Seeing that Poppi was about to turn around, Malcolm couldn't help crying out eagerly, "you don't want to eat?"

"I have already had it." There was no expression on Poppi's face.

Malcolm's face changed dramatically. "Then you can leave when you shell the shrimps."

Poppi blinked her eyes and remembered his old habit of eating the boiled prawns. Malcolm loved eating shrimps, so there were plenty of them in the fridge. But he hated peeling shrimps very much, so everytime he tried to shell shrimps, Poppi would act as a peeler. What's more, Poppi had ever jeered at him as if he was a "good-for-nothing".

Heaving a sigh, Poppi sat opposite to Malcolm and muttered, "I should have just ignored you."

But before he could say anything more, he saw that Poppi was shelling shrimps.

One shrimp, two shrimps, three, four……

Experienced in peeling shrimps, Poppi peeled them quickly. Seeing this, Malcolm was a little annoyed, "Poppi, let's eat together and you peel one for me. It won't taste good when getting cold. "

She had to accompany him to finish the dinner Poppi cursed him in her heart, but she nodded her head and said, "okay."

The shrimps peeled by Poppi were very beautiful, which aroused Malcolm's appetite, and he began to eat them bit by bit. After all, he had been on the plane all day long and hadn't eaten anything.

After the meal, Poppi cleaned up the kitchen. But Malcolm was gone on the second floor.

Poppi came to the second floor, stood outside the master bedroom and knocked on the door. Then she looked at the study with the light on and opened the door without hesitation.

"Poppi..."

As soon as Poppi opened the door and took a step forward, her face hit the wet but hot chest of Malcolm. Almost reflexively, Poppi suddenly took a step back and said, "Malcolm..."

Malcolm with a bath towel around his waist and a livid face, said: "why don't you knock at the door? What do you want to do?"

"The light in the study is on…… And you not in the study? !" Poppi forgot to move her eyes and couldn't help but raise her voice. Malcolm raised his eyebrows and threw up his hands, "go ahead, what do you want to do?"

"I I want to take bank my quilt! " After that, Poppi felt that her face turned red. She was so angry that she even wanted to stamp her feet. She said, "I didn't know you were taking a bath, Mr. Malcolm. I…… I'm sorry! "

Malcolm pressed his lips and moved aside, "go in and get your quilt."

Poppi leaned sideways and sneaked into the room, packed her things up and fled swiftly as if avoiding virus, passing by Malcolm.

As the saying goes, "heaven is not cooperative." even under the same roof, Poppi couldn't have sex with him. At most, she just took a look at him and blushed a little. Unlike other single men and women who became lovers gradually and went to the same bed and slept in the same room, she really envied them…… But in fact, they had kissed a few days ago. It could be counted as their intimate contact?

Thinking of this, Poppi, lying on her bed, suddenly patted her face. Spring was already past. It was about to be autumn, but her heart was as restless as a flower in spring……

The weekend passed quickly, so Poppi felt that she just needed to sleep in bed for a while more. And in the blink of an eye, it was Monday.

The air seemed to be a little cold on Monday morning. Men and women in short skirts and shorts all put on their warm clothes.

Autumn came.

At the headquarter of the SG Group, Malcolm came to his office early to deal with some files. This weekend, he really relaxed himself a lot. He had been staying at home with Poppi for two days without asking anything. He had already forgotten when he had such a leisure time last time. Of course, he and Poppi slept in two rooms separately.

Knock, knock, knock……

"Come in."

"Mr. Malcolm." Sean pushed the door in, looking anxious and guilty. "The Entertainment Magazine…… Have changed a new chief editor! "

Malcolm looked up and frowned, "who?"

"I got the news this morning. Benson Ji. "

"Benson Ji? !" Malcolm, who had always been calm, also couldn't help changing his face. "Why haven't I heard of it?"

He had been paying close attention to the news of this magazine company. Firstly, he had the thought of buying the shares. Secondly, It was concerned with Poppi. But out his expectation that Benson came back so quickly.
