Rules of Engagement

As soon as Elsa entered the room, she saw Caspar and a woman hugging each other. Elsa was so shocked that her glasses fell off on the floor. It was not a joke. Her glasses really fell off. She searched on the ground for a long time to find them, so she didn't see clearly what he was doing.

Elsa had tried her best to do that interview. The last time when she met Caspar, it was at his swimming pool, and Elsa's shirt was dampened by the models around him. But she had worn a thick coat that day so he actually hadn't seen any part of her body. But after that she did catch a cold for a week. These two things were the truth of Caspar's jokes. He said it absolutely on purpose!

The more Elsa thought about it, the angrier she became. She clenched her fists. But she could do nothing to him. When he came to the newspaper, even the general editor-in-chief had to receive him in person. Elsa was only a journalist, she could do nothing but bear the insult.

When she got home, she received a packet. Elsa had no habit of shopping online. She was curious, wondering if her parents had sent something to her.

When she got home and opened the box, she found some nail polish.

Elsa wondered whether it was from Jane.

The buyer attached a paper to her. She took it out and found it said: "Elsa, don't bite your nails anymore. I've talked with Mom and Grandmom, they said that if you paint your nails beautiful, you won't bite them."

It was Soren. Elsa's vexation was soothed. She looked at the color of the nail polish, it was beautiful lavender.

Thinking for a while, she picked it up and smeared the nail polish, but she was not very good at it. Thinking of her own clumsiness, she could not help laughing.

'Finally I get my nails polished. I've changed a lot these days, and I'm sure that many things are getting better.' She thought.

The next day, Elsa was informed that she would go to the army to do the interview a few days later. She was called directly by the vice general editor-in-chief. It seemed that it was Elsa's own application form which worked. If it were Johnny who helped to gain this opportunity, he would have called Elsa himself, instead of the vice general editor-in-chief.

Thinking that she had to stay with Johnny for such a long time, Elsa felt a bit headache. She was a married woman now. No matter how close she was to Soren, she shouldn't have any affair with any other man. Although it was Johnny who was bothering her.

In the office of the newspaper, there were still people everywhere who were busy doing their work. The journalists who were scrambling for the news wished they had four legs to run faster. Journalists on site were always capable of doing anything. They would go to any place where there was any news. As Elsa was free these days, she almost forgot how busy she was.

Upon seeing her, a confident smile appeared on Johnny's face. Elsa had been obsessed with the confident smile of the man in front of her, but now she couldn't see his face clearly.

"Hi, Elsa." Johnny let the reporter in his office out and said to Elsa, "Come in and have a seat. No, let's have a cup of coffee outside."
