not as lingering

2.

In the mirror in front of the sink, Xu Xiaomai met the eyes of the middle-aged woman again.It should be said that the middle-aged women are plain-looking, wearing a close-fitting black sweater that women of their age like very much, unremarkable women.What caught Xu Xiaomai's attention was the key-shaped necklace pendant of Tiffany on her chest.And that woman was also looking at Xu Xiaomai's chest, which was the Tiffany teardrop necklace pendant that Xu Xiaomai bought three years ago according to her own mood.Then their eyes met in the bright mirror, and they smiled at each other.

"Shall we take a look?" The middle-aged woman raised her chin in the direction of the toilet and asked with her eyes.

"Okay, let's go and see." Xu Xiaomai raised his eyebrows and replied with his eyes.

Xu Xiaomai felt that the woman in front of her should be in her 40s or something, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were a bit obvious, but she didn't wear makeup, and she looked calm.Xu Xiaomai used to be full of confidence in her future appearance. She would always say, "I will be better than her when I get old." Her confidence was shaken by this woman's natural and calm demeanor. She promised Can wheat really be so calm when he is old?The demeanor is born from within, and skin care products are powerless.

When the two came to the toilet room on the left, the middle-aged woman knocked on the door lightly and asked softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of flushing water came from inside, and then the door was pulled open.

Xu Mai was taken aback. "Sophie..."

Who is Sophie?It was Xu Xiaomai who thought the most dazzling woman in the banquet hall tonight.

Sophie is not glamorous, and she is also in her 40s.But her identity is dazzling enough, she is the vice president parachuted from the headquarters, things are often like this, the more mysterious the more dazzling.Half a year ago, a vice president was airborne from the headquarters, and he was a vice president with a Chinese face who could speak strange Chinese, which caused many rumors and speculations in the company.To Xu Xiaomai, this was nothing. Xu Xiaomai hadn't had time to think about it carefully. It was the first time she saw this woman today.

Sophie's brilliance lies in that she is the most solemn and well-dressed woman in the entire dinner hall.To be precise, it should be Xu Xiaomai who thinks it is the most appropriate.Judging from the scene, Sophie was dressed too grandly and stood out from the crowd, looking very abrupt.But it's not Sophie's fault, it's someone else who dresses too casually.Xu Xiaomai had expected this to happen.

There is no spirit of freedom in Chinese culture, but it is quite free when it comes to dressing.Travel in a suit and leather shoes, go to church in a tank top and short skirt, go to work in a T-shirt and jeans, and attend a dinner party in work clothes. . . . . .

Originally, Xu Xiaomai would put on a gown by herself no matter how others wore it casually on such an occasion, but this time she couldn't, she couldn't be herself, she had to be herself that was acceptable to others, and she had to dress so low-key that it wouldn't attract any strange eyes.

When you are not qualified to hold your head high, you must learn to pretend to be low-key.

So Xu Xiaomai could only silently admire Sophie for a few moments. Sophie obviously had her hair done on purpose. Her long dark brown hair was neatly coiled up. She wore a champagne-colored long dress with dark patterns, a pearl necklace, and black high-heeled shoes. She was tall and dignified.What Xu Xiaomai finds interesting is that she exudes a sense of contradiction and harmony all over her body. The name Sophie gives people a young and sweet feeling, but she is very mature; it is said that she is usually polite but reticent.The key is her face, which is not soft, with edges and corners and sternness faintly visible.She speaks good Chinese, but has a strange accent.She copes well, but when those around her aren't paying attention, she can seem distracted.

Xu Xiaomai keenly smelled a trace of anxiety and depression from Sophie.Humans are sensitive to their own kind.

However, when Sophie's pale face really appeared in front of her eyes, Xu Xiaomai was still very surprised.For a moment, she felt that Sophie should not know her, but she was not sure.Xu Xiaomai did not meet Sophie during the interview, but Lu Hang, the general manager.

Xu Maimai hesitated for a few seconds, but it was enough to miss the chance to meet the vice president. Sophie walked out of the toilet with flimsy steps, and forced a smile at the middle-aged woman, "I'm fine, thank you."

Both Xu Maimai and the middle-aged woman took a step back to make room for Sophie to pass.

However, it was futile to be brave, Sophie didn't go too far, she sat down on the sofa, clutching her stomach.

"Where is it uncomfortable?" The middle-aged woman asked with concern.

"Stomach pain." Sophie frowned, subdued.

"Shall I get you a cup of hot water?" the middle-aged woman asked.

"I'll get it." Xu Maimai would rather get water than face Sophie alone, who made her miss the chance to meet each other just now.
