C6 Truth and Adventure

"I didn't expect our great beauty Linda to be so capable. Did you know that the president of the Knibbs Group rejected many companies? I didn't expect our Mu Ge to be able to complete such an outstanding mission and even dig up such a sensational piece of news." Another female colleague in a green dress couldn't help but exclaim.

Linda lowered her eyes in embarrassment. Only she knew why she had been interviewed.

The surrounding people all looked at Linda with envy. They were able to come out and celebrate today because of Linda's contribution. Otherwise, how could the stingy editor be so generous?

The group of people gathered together and discussed animatedly, "Aiya, I really didn't expect that Kurt already has a fiancée! It's such a waste of my day and night!"

One of the infatuated colleagues hugged her friend's arm and sighed. Many women looked at her with pity.

"You're really infatuated. Would that kind of important person like us, the newbies? The Vallance Group is also a big family. They are a match for each other!" Her friend rolled her eyes at her and the few of them immediately laughed.

That person was not willing to give up. She continued to ask Linda, "Mu Ge, have you seen that woman? Is the president of the Knibbs Group handsome? What color does he like?"

"Uh..." Linda was a little embarrassed. Luckily, Cyril, who was beside her, immediately came out to help her out. "Alright, alright. We came out to relax today. We will send the information to you after Mu Ge has sorted it out."

Linda looked at Cyril gratefully. He also smiled reassuringly. After three rounds of drinking, someone immediately suggested a game, Truth or Dare.

The game was very simple. In the music, a glass of wine was passed to someone. When the music stopped, the person who held the glass of wine had to choose one.

The game went smoothly, but Linda was distracted. It was only when the glass of wine was passed to her that she suddenly woke up.

"Linda, it's your turn. What are you thinking about?" The colleague beside her immediately nudged her shoulder. She woke up and felt a little embarrassed.

"Could it be that he was also charmed by Kurt? Hahaha …" Someone teased Linda.

Her face suddenly turned pale, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, I was distracted. I'm really sorry!"

"Is it because you climbed up a high branch and don't know how to do it?" A sarcastic voice suddenly sounded, and it was especially ear-piercing.

A beautiful woman with short hair was sitting not far away. Her hair had been dyed purple. Her originally fluffy and cute hairstyle had been ruined by her sharp eyebrows. She was holding her shoulders and looking coldly at Linda, not hiding the ridicule on her face at all.

"Jamila, what are you talking about?" The colleague beside her immediately came out to mediate the situation. "Aiya, aren't we all playing a game? Linda, it's your turn. Are you going to tell the truth or take a big risk?"

Jamila sneered and turned away from Linda.

On the other hand, Linda's reaction was very calm. During the time that she had been working with Jamie, she had long since noticed that Jamie had a deep hostility towards her. Even when they communicated normally, it was always sarcastic. She had always disdained quarreling with such a person, so she didn't care.

"Then... tell me the truth!" Linda smiled slightly and said.

"That's the question!" The female colleague beside him immediately seized the opportunity and asked with a smile, "Linda, do you have someone you like?"

With that, everyone's gaze gathered on her.

Linda was originally beautiful, and had always been the focus of many people in the magazine company. She was also very serious in her work, so everyone naturally looked at her with high regard.

Her amber eyes flashed. A person she liked? After so many years, the person she liked was her hidden pain.

She fanned her long eyelashes, which were like wings, and then curled the corner of her mouth. "Yes."

"Oh ~" The crowd was in an uproar. Other than Jamila, everyone was interested. Even Cyril's eyes were filled with smiles.

"Then... do we know each other?" Although she couldn't ask directly, the female colleague still took the opportunity to shrink the scope.

It was more than just knowing each other. It was as if they had heard it before.

Linda lifted the corner of her lips with a headache and smiled bitterly, but she replied helplessly, "About the same!"

Her words instantly caused everyone to fall into endless fantasies. Jamila was unhappy and turned away, whispering, "Flattering the crowd."

Cyril heard it clearly and immediately glanced at Linda. However, he saw that she shrugged her shoulders indifferently. This was originally an ordinary action, but now, it seemed especially ambiguous in everyone's eyes.

The two of them looked at each other as if they were communicating with the eyes of the most intimate people. Everyone immediately revealed a look of uncertainty as they exchanged glances.

However, Cyril did not notice it. He only saw that Linda did not care about it and did not put it to heart. However, in the game, everyone seemed to have intentionally spread the news to him.

"Haha, Senior Cyril, you won the bid!" A male colleague immediately cried out in surprise.

"Yeah, it's a rare good luck." The faint smile on Cyril's face was gentle and elegant as he said humorously, "I usually don't buy a bottle of drinks. Today, I have to buy one."

His humorous words made everyone laugh out loud. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Everyone had always respected Cyril, because not only was he experienced, but he was also easy-going. Therefore, he was very respected.

Cyril's handsome face was full of smiles, causing many girls to blush. Even Jamila raised her head from behind the glass.

She had always liked Cyril. She had fallen in love with this elegant man since the day she entered the company. She always pretended to be very reserved in front of him, but he did not notice her goodwill at all. Instead, he asked Linda to be his teacher when she was on her internship.

Jamila's eyes burned with jealousy as she stared at Linda, who was beside Cyril. She wondered what kind of seductive woman had fed Cyril with such a delicious meal!

She must find an opportunity to teach her a lesson!

Sensing a resentful gaze, Linda didn't even bother to look up. She knew that it was Jamie. She helplessly ate the broccoli in her plate. She really didn't understand why she was acting like this.

"Senior, do you want to tell the truth or take a big risk?" The male colleagues around them were already impatient.

"I'll take the big risk." Cyril did not hesitate.

"Then I'll make my move!" The male colleague took the opportunity to play a little trick. "Then, please have a cup of wine with the female colleagues here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone started cheering. The few college students who had just left the company were blushing, but their eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

Cyril pursed his lips and looked at Linda, who was beside him. "Mu Ge, you have to help me. I still need to drive later."

With just one sentence, everyone present immediately became noisy. Some of them even excitedly opened the door.
