Chapter 55 Come To My Room To Sleep
"How old are you? Are you afraid of crying in the rain?" Malcolm came to the window and closed it reluctantly in the wind and rain. "You don't turn the light on."
"I forgot." Poppi sniffed her nose to feel the room became quiet suddenly and she was relieved.
"I've never seen you so stupid." "It's all right. Let me go to sleep." said Malcolm, and thrown away the water in his hands.
Seeing this, Poppi was still following Malcolm. Her voice was trembling, "I'm scared. Don't leave me sleep alone."
Malcolm knew that Poppi was afraid of lightning and thunder in a rainy night. She remembered that when they just got married, Malcolm took Poppi to the mountain to visit his grandma. It rained heavily and Poppi went to bed trembling. She insisted on sleeping next to Malcolm. At that time, Malcolm was so angry that he almost threw Poppi out, but in the end he had no choice but to sleep with her on the same bed. Since then, they would have no choice but to sleep on the same bed, quiet and peaceful..
Malcolm paused, slightly sideways, looked at the poor Poppi beside him and sighed, "come to my room to sleep."
"Okay!" Hearing this, Poppi's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly. She turned around to pick up her quilt and kept up with Malcolm.
He thought, 'if she has a tail, she must be shaking now. She is just like a puppy. If someone wants to take her away, it will be effortless.'.
While they were walking outside, Malcolm turned on the light of the corridor. Walking into Malcolm's room, Poppi rushed to his bed excitedly and sighed, "ah, I'm so sleepy!"
Malcolm's face darkened. He pressed his lips and lay beside Poppi. He said in a cold voice, "just sleep."
"Turn off the lights? I can't fall asleep. " Asked Poppi, blinking her eyes.
"You are so annoying." Malcolm seemed to be a little impatient, "turn off the light, you are afraid. But you can't fall asleep without turning off the light."
"There you are! I'm not afraid with you by my side. " Poppi said and yawned.
Hearing that, Malcolm's face changed relaxing. He felt strange too. He had made up his mind to turn a deaf ear to Poppi, but he even could not make his decide with her a sentence.

Malcolm reached for the phone and turned off the light. Then he checked the weather and realized that red alarm had already been started in the coastal regions after the typhoon. No wonder it kept raining. Malcolm leaned over and was about to put the phone back on the bedside cupboard. Suddenly he felt his pajamas being pulled by someone. He quickly turned his head and saw Poppi curling up into a ball with her eyes closed, her hands tightly grasping his clothes. As he moved, so did Poppi.
'damn it! She is really a defenseless woman.' Malcolm thought in mind.
"Poppi, are you asleep?" Malcolm asked in a low voice.
"Well.. Yes. " Half asleep half awake, Poppi muttered an unclear response.
Boom!
There was a loud thunder outside the window and Poppi shrank uneasily. Then he put out his hand to cover the quilt for her and lay on her side to block the lightning for her.
Poppi breathed lightly and the thun
Wendy looked at her with concern and said, "the minister is looking for you just now. He asked you to go to the meeting room on the tenth floor after you came here. "
"Oh, shit!" Poppi gasped. She had just heard what Shirley said. She decided not to resign, or to spin out her plan. But she was late today! It seemed that even if she didn't quit the job, her company would fire her too!
Poppi hurried to the meeting room with her pen and paper.
The meeting room on the tenth floor was closed and people outside couldn't see what was going on inside. Poppi stood at the door and took a deep breath. She knocked on the door and pushed it open. "Director, I'm sorry. I..."
Before he finished his words, poppi's voice suddenly stopped and she was staring at a dozen high-level executives in the office. What happened?! 'is this a high-level meeting? Poppi blinked her eyes and looked in the direction of the seat of the chief of the meeting room, and she saw Benson! It was indeed a high-level meeting! Why did the director call her here?
Teresa was shocked and embarrassed. Poppi was also confused and her face turned red. She wanted to behave in front of him, but he didn't know how? Slamming the door and leaving?
"Poppi is late again?" A leader snorted and said with deep dissatisfaction.
"It seems that Poppi is quite busy. Teresa, do you think it is appropriate to let such a person be in charge of the editing department? "
"I think the suggestion made by Tina is good. I think it's better to combine the editing department with the advertising department. It won't be too complicated."
All the people in the meeting room kept talking about that. Hearing this, Poppi felt her ears burnt and was about to apologize when she heard someone knocking the table. "What's the noise?" it sounded unpleasant.
The meeting room was suddenly quiet. The people who had just spoken looked at each other in dismay.
"It's good that you are here. It's not late at all." The corners of Benson's mouth lifted. He looked at Poppi gently and said, "come here and sit with me."
