she was here to torture herself.
She promptly stood up and silently walked to the CEO’s office.
Watching her back draw nearer the CEO’s office, a jealous Lu Huiya cursed under her breath.
“Sheesh! Vixen.”
What she did not realize, though, was how ludicrous her remark sounded.
She was the one dressed provocatively, yet she was calling a conservatively clothed lady a vixen.
Knock, knock! Even though the door to the CEO’s office was ajar, Pei Ge still knocked on it.
“Come in.”
She only entered the office after she had heard the deep, cold voice grant her entry.
She went straight to the pantry after entering his office and did not appear before the man.
Once the stuff needed to prepare the hot beverage was ready, she started making coffee.
Movement was heard from the door just as the aromatic coffee beans were put into the coffee machine.
Instinctively, she turned her face in the noise’s direction.
Unexpectedly, the well-built chest of a man appeared before her eyes.
“Ahh!” she screamed on reflex, taking a step back.
However, before she could move backward, her movement was restricted by a pair of powerful arms, which wrapped around her waist.
She was rendered immobile as a corollary.
“What are you doing?!” She lifted her head and glared at the annoying fellow, who had shown up all of a sudden before her, in exasperation.
“Haven’t I told you that we’ll come to work together?” Ji Ziming lowered his head to peer at her with his piercing eyes.
Feeling uncomfortable, she averted her gaze from him at the same time that she decided to play dumb.
“Yeah.
We did come to work together this morning.”
“…” Looking at the woman playing dumb in his arms, he tightened his grip.
“Ah! Ow, ow, ow! You’re hurting me!” She turned to glare at him as she felt a dull ache.
He, however, just chuckled at her before saying evenly, “I thought you were dreaming.”
“…” D*mn it! It seems that this annoying fellow has a sadistic side, too.
“Pei Ge, don’t try and run away from me.
Otherwise, I’ll become unhappy.” He stared at the woman in his embrace; his tone was especially serious when he said that.
She paused for a moment after hearing his words.
What is this annoying fellow saying… Why is it that, when I heard him say those words seriously, I suddenly thought that he is incredibly handsome, and my heartbeat accelerated erratically…
Alas, this feeling of being ‘starstruck’ did not last long.
In a split second, she was back to her senses.
“… I understand,” she replied gloomily.
It’s fine; it’s fine.
It’s okay if my colleagues find out about us.
No matter how one looks at it, I stand to gain from being in a relationship with this great CEO Ji Ziming.
It’s just that… my reputation will surely take a hit.
Ha ha ha… Why do I suddenly feel like crying? Sigh…
“What did you say?”
Her voice was probably too soft as he did not catch her words clearly.
As such, he dipped his head further to her.
Watching his flawless face inch closer to hers, Pei Ge’s heart began to beat erratically again.
Because of their proximity, his unique scent crept into her nostrils.
Thump, thump! Her heart beat nonstop as her cheeks gradually turned pink.
“St-Stay far away from me! I already said that I understand!”
