It was a cold, early summer night. The crescent moon shone faintly in the dark night sky, waiting to be devoured by the dark clouds.
A light wind blew across, and in the street, the lonely girl wrapped herself in her black leather coat. Her pink face, dripping with sadness, was hardly visible under the moonlight.
The wine red hair touched her waist, and lit the dark night around her.
The misty starlight revealed her beautiful lips and delicate porcelain skin.
But her eyes twinkled with sadness, and her little pouted mouth was full of regret and displeasure.
"Argh!" She let out a helpless shout into the dark lonely night.
His helpless shout echoed in the quiet night sky. The small stone lying on the ground was kicked away by her.
"Damn it! All I had to do was be cold and aloof, but instead, I made myself look like a rowdy woman with no manners!"
She stared at the crescent moon in the sky with watery eyes. He would have had such a bad impression of her.
"Crap..."
With a plaintive sigh, she pursed her lips in disappointment. She had wanted to show him the best side of her. There were thousands of scenarios in which they could have met, but they ended up meeting in the worst situation.
Thinking of the interview earlier that day, she wished she could return to the past and change everything.
Early that morning, Linda Xia made sure to dress perfectly. She straightened her suit and smiled at her reflection in the mirror. Yes, she looked like a capable and mature woman. When she finally arrived for the interview, Linda Xia saw that all the other applicants were male.
She shook off the discouraging thoughts. This was the best chance for her to be next to him all the time. She had to get selected by all means!
Ignoring the suspicious looks from the other applicants, she waited in line anxiously.
"Next!"
It was her turn. Linda Xia took a deep breath and walked to the manager.
"Hello! My name is Linda Xia. This is my resume..."
The manager stared at her, with no intention of accepting her resume. He shook his head helplessly.
"Really? A woman? Don't you think you are in the wrong place, lady? This is the interview to select the CEO's personal bodyguards, not his secretary. Don't waste our time. Next!"
The men behind her burst into laughter.
The smile on Linda Xia's face slowly faded. Although she had half the mind to whack the manager, she persuaded herself not to be impulsive.
"Get out of the way, little girl!"
The applicant behind Linda Xia smirked and reached out to push her away. Just as his hand was about to touch her, there was a crisp sound of a bone breaking cleanly, followed by an unmanly scream.
The hall instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at the woman's slender figure.
So, what had happened? Before the man could lay his hand on her, Linda Xia had quickly turned around and grabbed his arm, breaking his wrist. The man howled in pain.
Shoving aside the whining man, Linda Xia snorted. He was muscular, but so weak. Yet he dared to apply for a bodyguard's position. The best he could ever be was a security guard!
Turning back to the stunned manager, Linda Xia slammed down her resume on the table. Then, she threateningly stepped on the chair with one foot. The sneer on her face stayed, and it made the manager in front of her sweat subconsciously.
"I implore you to take a look at my resume. Your company is recruiting bodyguards—people with some good fighting skills, I assume? Does it matter if it's a man or woman? You are pretty conservative for a man of your position. You don't think a woman could be a bodyguard? You think I'm not as strong as all these men here? Don't you think you are being a little too unprofessional? You won't even look at my resume before dismissing me as unqualified."
The manager's face turned red at her words, but he didn't want to lose face in front of so many people. His face darkened quickly.
"Are you trying to create a scene? If you don't leave, I'll call the security!"
Just as Linda Xia was about to lose her temper, the main door flew open and several men in suits walked out one after another.
"Boss! Good morning, boss!"
