"Jack...," a young male colleague approached, having just greeted James, but when he saw Lucy, he couldn't utter the word "manage" at all.
"Ouch!" Another male employee turned his head back to look at Lucy after she passed by, completely ignoring what was in front of him, and ran straight into a wall, bumping his forehead and creating a big lump.
Lucy followed James from the first floor to the fourth, encountering several such incidents.
This made James both laugh and cry, and he couldn't help but admire Lucy's beauty for its lethal effect on men.
"Cough, now I really understand what they mean by 'beauty is a source of trouble'," James muttered under his breath, rubbing his nose.
But Lucy heard him, sighed, and said, "I don't want it either, but it's not like I can make myself look uglier, right?"
James rolled his eyes and said: "How could you even say that? You'll make other female colleagues lose the will to live. If they heard you, they'd probably want to die."
