Chapter 111 Spice
Because of this matter, Regina had been feeling distracted. She forced herself to focus on her work and, during a brief break, sent a message to Miranda: [Miranda, I need to ask you something.]
Miranda responded immediately, asking what it was.
Regina felt a bit embarrassed. Miranda hadn't been in a relationship either, so she was worried that asking her for advice would be unreliable.
But there was no one more suitable around Regina. She just wanted to find someone to talk to.
With a heavy heart, she typed: [If your husband is angry, how would you calm him down?]
Miranda immediately saw through Regina's thoughts.
Even though she had never been in a relationship, Miranda gave advice without hesitation: [First, you need to determine who was at fault.]
Without thinking, Regina replied: [It was me.]
After sending it, she immediately felt awkward.
Seeing the long "typing..." indicator at the top of the chat, Regina knew it was pointless to delete the message, so she had to wait patiently for Miranda's reply.
Meanwhile, Regina's phone kept buzzing with messages from project groups, department groups, and various other groups.
Regina glanced at them briefly and responded seriously to those that required her attention.
Her face appeared calm, but she was deeply troubled by both emotional and work-related issues. She felt exhausted as if her brain couldn't keep up.
Miranda earnestly told her: [I think you need to address the issue directly. Given Mr. Semona's personality. He's a straightforward person, and he wouldn't yell at his wife. If you soften up a bit and act cute, he should respond well to that.]
'Soften up? Act cute?' Regina thought, 'Didn't I do that last night?'
She apologized, sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and tried to kiss him, but it didn't work at all.
Regina replied: [I don't think that will work.]
[Then be bolder!]
Regina was flustered.
From Miranda's tone, it seemed like she had an idea?
But at that moment, messages from the project and department groups were flooding in. Regina responded to one after another, and after about ten minutes, she finally had a moment to ask Miranda: [How do I be bolder?]
[Add some spice.]
[What kind of spice?]
Miranda thought, 'Did I really have to spell it out so explicitly?'
She searched on a shopping app and sent two very "spicy" outfits to Regina's phone.
[Wear this, sit on his lap, kiss him, and act cute. I believe it will work unless he has a physical issue!]
Regina opened the pictures and was shocked!
One was a piece of black sheer fabric that covered nothing.
The other was an office secretary uniform.
Feeling embarrassed, Regina quickly exited the chat with Miranda to calm down.
Seeing no response from Regina, Miranda kept encouraging her, sending five or six messages.
Miranda suggested trying it out, saying it would definitely have an unexpected effect.
However, Regina was a conservative person. Seeing those two pieces of sexy lingerie, she felt a shock to her core. Her thoughts were already chaotic, and now even more so.
She massaged her aching temples and replied to Miranda: [I don't think this will work either. You said he's a straightforward person, so using sexy lingerie to seduce him might make me seem disrespectful. If he still doesn't respond, I really won't know how to face him.]
Regina anxiously typed a long message: [I remember he once told me he wanted to see the Northern Lights. His Instagram profile picture is also a beautiful photo of the Northern Lights. So, what do you think about me going with him to see the Northern Lights?]
Regina suddenly remembered that she once saw a post from Douglas six years ago saying he wanted to see the Northern Lights with someone.
At that time, Regina thought he had truly loved someone six years ago.
But now she knew that Douglas's long-hidden crush was very likely her.
Regina stopped her wild thoughts and continued discussing with Miranda: [But he's so busy; he probably can't find the time now. So how should I make him happy? If he stays angry and ignores me, I really don't know what to do.]
Regina sent three messages in a row to Miranda, but there was no reply.
She put her phone aside and tried to focus on her work.
However, a few minutes later, her phone rang. She saw it was a call from Miranda.
Regina frowned in confusion momentarily, then quickly answered the call.
Miranda screamed, "Regina, retract it! Quickly!"
"What?"
Miranda hadn't expected that just by putting her phone down to go to the bathroom, such a "catastrophic" event would occur. "You sent it to the wrong group! You sent it to the work group!"
When Regina heard this, her mind went blank, as if the sky had fallen!
Her hand even trembled uselessly.
She quickly opened her phone, frantically scrolling through the chat history.
When she saw that she had sent those three messages to the pinned work group, she nearly blacked out. She desperately tried to retract them, but to her despair, the screen showed that the messages couldn't be retracted because the time limit had passed!
At this moment, the 500-person work group was eerily silent.
Even though everyone had their mouths open in an "O" shape and their eyes wide open staring at their screens, no one said a word.
Because three minutes ago, Douglas had criticized a project mistake seriously in the group.
Douglas rarely did such trivial critiques. He usually muted all group notifications. With so many people and so many groups in the company, he rarely bothered to say anything. But perhaps this time, the mistake was too serious, and he was genuinely angry.
Regina wanted to die.
She literally wanted to die!
Her palms were sweaty, and she could barely hold her phone.
After three minutes of repeatedly typing and editing, she finally mustered the courage to send: [Sorry, I sent the wrong message.]
Due to Douglas's lingering anger, no one responded.
But everyone was probably watching her drama unfold.
Regina felt like a complete joke at that moment.
Why did she mention lingerie?
Why did she talk about seduction?
That wasn't her intention!
Just as Regina was in a state of panic, the person with the profile picture of a deep blue aurora appeared.
