Chapter 7: Christmas tree
"Hey, you really don't know, just look at that young man's attitude and you'll know who that girl is. Didn't you see him calling her Miss Kinga? She's Kinga, the CEO of HNB, the daughter of the chairman of Karpovich Group, Mr. Hartmut." This person replied to her friend in a resolute tone.
After hearing her friend's words, as if suddenly remembering something, the woman exclaimed:
"That's right, I remember now, that girl is the future daughter-in-law of that chairman. I heard that the two families have arranged marriages for their sons and daughters since they were young. No wonder she can freely come and go in and out of our company like that."
The two were discussing excitedly, all of those words were heard by Irene, Vlada's younger sister, without missing a word.
Because Collins Group is the most famous and powerful group in the city, she came here to apply for a job. Her only purpose was to meet the new CEO of Collins Group, the son of the Chairman, Parker Collins.
But after working here for several months, she had barely seen him. Today, hearing that his fiancée was visiting the company, she was disappointed and felt a little resentful. He really did have a fiancée, so what chance did she have?
Clenching the pen in her hand, she thought to herself: "What about a fiancée? What about being engaged since childhood? But never mind, these days, all men are like that, they forget the old when they see the new, I don't believe it, with a beauty that is not inferior to Kinga, Parker Collins will definitely fall in love with me..."
Thinking this, Irene coldly chuckled:
"Parker, I will wait until I meet you, no matter what, I will pursue you, see how much weight your fiancée has in your heart…”
Finally arrived, it was indeed Collins Group, this company was too big, unexpectedly the headquarters was so high. Kinga sighed inwardly, if she guessed correctly, this building should be 70 stories high, too high.
Standing in front of the President's office door, Ivy and the other secretary retreated, Kinga stayed behind.
"Uncle, I'm here, can I come in?" Kinga said politely.
"Okay, you can come in!" Mr. Elmer inside called out.
Kinga gently pushed the door open and entered, right at the desk, she saw Mr. Elmer intently looking at the computer screen. She slowly approached, looked at the screen, it turned out he was working on some kind of design model, it looked like a Christmas tree.
"Uncle, I'm here, how are you?" Kinga asked gently.
Only then did Mr. Elmer raise his head to look at the girl standing in front of him. He hurriedly stood up, gently clicked to save the drawing, then closed the computer screen. He smiled gently and replied:
"Kinga, you're here, it's been a long time since we last met, ever since you became the general manager, it's been difficult to come to my house to play, my wife misses you so much."
"Uncle, I miss everyone too." Kinga was excited, her eyes lit up as she said to her future father-in-law.
Seeing his future daughter-in-law reacting excitedly like a child, Mr. Elmer shook his head and laughed, his tone mocking as he asked:
"Kinga, there's one more person, do you remember?"
"Yes, I... I..." As soon as he asked, Kinga immediately felt embarrassed, her face flushed, in fact the person she remembered the most was of course Parker, but how could she dare to say it? She recalled her previous life. When he and she met in the restaurant parking lot, then in the Collins family's rose garden, she remembered his face in the main hall when he protected her from her father Mr. Hartmut's slap.
Remembering his face when she scolded him, scolded him mercilessly by the riverbank, then got drunk in the rain that night. That was also the last time she saw him, until the most tragic ending, she had no chance to see him again.
Since her reincarnation, less than two days, in Kinga's mind, there was only the image of Parker in her previous life, but unfortunately, she only saw him when he was cold and icy, besides, he rarely smiled, rarely opened his mouth to talk, he was extremely difficult to approach.
So for her, it was basically a sad memory, and the one who created those memories was her, because every time she saw him, she only knew how to blame and hurt his heart.
The more Kinga thought, the more she felt that she was both hateful and stupid. People only regret when they lose something important. She lowered her head and sighed, not daring to face her father-in-law.
Mr. Elmer looked at his future daughter-in-law's pensive expression, guessing that she hadn't heard the question just now, he frowned slightly and asked.
"Kinga, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pensive?"
Lost in thought, hearing Mr. Elmer's voice, Kinga suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly explained:
"No, uncle, I'm not thinking about anything, I just... just..." She stuttered, searching for a long time but still couldn't find any good reason to justify why she was thinking about him.
Mr. Elmer immediately laughed, then said directly: "Kinga, you miss my son, right? How can you hide it from me? The words 'miss him' are clearly written on your forehead."
"Uncle, I..." It was so embarrassing, she really wanted to hide under the table, her future father-in-law was truly a master of love, just by looking at her future daughter-in-law's expression, he could guess what she was thinking? Suddenly remembering the model on his computer, she quickly changed the subject.
"Uncle, I saw you just drew a model on the computer, it looks very much like a Christmas tree, what is it for?"
Mr. Elmer looked at Kinga, smiled slightly, and thought to himself: "Is this girl really skillful in difficult situations? She can change the subject immediately, she is indeed Mr. Hartmut's daughter, even more cunning than me. No wonder she can control the company so easily."
Gently turning back to the computer desk, he called:
"Kinga, come here!" After she walked over, pulled another chair to sit down, he turned on the computer, clicked on the previously saved folder, and immediately the model appeared before her eyes again.
