Female Novel
Chapter 845
She had her hair cut short!
Henry, who was sneaking around the corner, was surprised to find that May had her seven-year
straight black shoulder-length hair cut.
They were appearing in the social gathering venue for the employees of the IP&G headquarters this
year. For some reason, all the participants were required to choose a mask to wear as requested by
the organizers. Strange as the whole scene appeared, it was fun.
Henry, wearing a big white rabbit mask with its two long ears fluttering, looked grim. His eyes were
fixed on the woman in the middle of the venue in a bright yellow floral dress.
He didn't fail to recognize May at a glance even though she was wearing a mask.
He found it hard to believe that she had her hair cut.
He felt very much oppressed.
He clearly remembered that May told him to stay away from her last time.
A hard blow was sent to Henry as he looked at her cold eyes, which he had never seen before.
He managed to persuade himself not to see her during this period of time.
He was afraid that she'd be annoyed.
Now that he did as she asked, why didn't she go back to him? What did she mean by having her hair
cut? Had she made up her mind to break up with him?
How come she appeared in a social gathering?
Henry's eyes were filled with anger as he glanced at the men who were talking to May and directly
regarded them all as enemies.
"Damn it, why did that fat man talk to her for so long?" He muttered to himself.
(What are they talking about? What's so funny that they laugh so loudly?)
In fact, the guy who was talking with May was the team leader of the IP&G engineering department. He
was not very fat either. He was 1.75 meters tall and weighed 140 pounds. Despite his plain
appearance, he was down-to-earth and honest, which was well-known in the engineering department,
and he was five years older than May.
"I think the story of The Moon and Sixpence is quite intricate. It appears to be a story, but one is hard to
figure out what the writer tries to point out."
May had met Tony Baber briefly when she went to the engineering department to get the information. It
was a lunch break when the people who stayed in the office were focused on lunch so they did not
want to pay attention to her, the new employee. Tony was very nice to find the information for her and
carefully told her which department she should go to sign.
May was quite impressed, and they both had a common hobby, which was reading.
Tony smiled. Not trying to show off his knowledge, he joked, "I have children's books at home. Are you
interested?"
"Children's books, don't look down on me," May replied with a smile.
"I thought you may be a little rusty since you've lived alone in F Country for a long time without
speaking our language."
"What a joke. Actually, I can apply to be a teacher in F Country."
The two of them had a good time.
Henry was in the corner, his eyes burning with anger.
Tony's voice came to him again, "May, shall we go out to the restaurant for dinner?"
To Henry's astonishment, Tony asked her out alone!
Tony, as indeed a very considerate man, explained, "With too many people around, we might feel
uncomfortable eating here."
"And the food is all cold. I remember you told me you had a stomach problem a few days ago. Let's go
out to a restaurant to eat some hot noodles. I think there's a good one near the company."
Everything he said made sense, and he was very considerate of her. She was surprised that he still
remembered that she had inadvertently mentioned her stomach trouble a few days ago.
May, who was in a complicated mood, was glad that she had met a good man.
But she was also hesitating, for she was not ready to start a new relationship.
(If I say yes, does that mean I agree to date him alone?) May wondered.
Tony, who seemed to see through her, explained with a smile, "There's no need to think too much. I just
want both of us comfortable. We can go Dutch."
Hearing his words, May thought it was hard for her to say no to him.
Even if things wouldn't work out for them, it was a good option to be friends with him.
The two of them left the fraternity hall side by side.
From an outsider's point of view, they'd already made a couple.
No one expected that Tony, who was usually well-behaved and honest, was an expert in chasing a girl.
"Are they going out on a date now?"
Christina had been hiding behind a tall potted plant and peeking.
Turning around, she hurriedly asked Charles behind her, "How do you think that guy? Is he reliable?"
"Do you think I'm a marriage consultant?"
Charles was a little upset about being forced to come here as if he was a thief.
"You can start by investigating his financial background, his family's character, and what his colleagues
think of him."
Charles, looking like an womanizer, rubbed his chin and said after a moment of thought, "From my
short observation just now, I can tell that from this guy's speed and tone of speech that he is quite
mature and reliable, and he's got a high level of EQ."
In other words, Tony was a good choice for being a husband.
Christina was overjoyed and exclaimed, "That's great."
Charles suddenly elbowed her and gestured with his eyes. "Look over there?"
"Where?"
"Over there, a man with a rabbit mask is sneaking around..."
Christina looked over and pondered for a moment before she uttered, "Henry?"
"I've been in contact with Henry. This guy is infatuated with May. Aren't you women face-judger? Why
does May choose an ordinary department team leader over Henry."
Charles suddenly couldn't figure out what was on women's mind.
"What's the use of being good-looking? Henry has been dating May for seven years, but he nevernovelbin
intended to get married. What's the point of May being with him?"
Christina immediately scolded, "What a jerk!"
Charles defended Henry, "That doesn't make Henry a jerk even if he didn't want to get married."
Emboldened, Christina raised her voice.
"According to Patrick, a man who doesn't want to marry a woman urgently must be a jerk!"
She firmly believed Patrick's words.
Charles did not dare to refute.
Patrick was man who'd get what he wanted urgently so that he could rest assured.
That was why Christin married him before she could realized what happened.
Charles felt that ordinary couples should never be compared to Patrick and Christina.
"I have a hunch that Henry is not a bad guy... Maybe he has some difficulties, or suffers from some
childhood shadow."
Christina's eyes fell on Henry's back. She assumed that he had been secretly following May.
