She didn’t know how the two, who were once far from acquainted, had suddenly come together. But Zoey also had to admit, as colleagues who had met them said, that they were now indeed a good match.
…
8:00 pm.
Zoey was still in the office, preparing the materials for the meeting tomorrow afternoon. I thought she might be the only one left on the whole floor, but when I looked up, I found that the light was still on in the president’s office.
Jerry Xiao is still around.
Zoey pursed her lips. In addition to the strength of the company’s executives, he is naturally the biggest contributor to MY’s success over the past eight years. Just as his brother said, as long as Jerry Xiao is given a platform to play, he is enough to make a splash. It’s just that Zoey didn’t realize that he was already setting up his own business eight years ago. But if he had the strength, why did he let the Xiao Family’s business be divided up five years ago?
The incandescent lamp overhead flickered dangerously several times and suddenly went out.
The lamp is broken!
Looking at the lights still on in the president’s office across the street, Zoey thought with little concern.
These years she lived abroad with two children, what has not done? So, the moment skillfully from the drawer out of the phone lighting, touch the corner of the cupboard to find the prepared lamp, moved two chairs to throw off the high heels on the step.
…
When Jerry Xiao came out of his office, the lights came back on in the secretary’s office that had gone dark.
He couldn’t help but pause and look sideways. What caught his eye was this scene – she was wearing a black overskirt, standing tall in spite of her image. Under the skirt, the slender legs have an unspeakable allure or, bare feet like jade white, small toes in the light shimmering sexy moist. The most damning thing is that the angle at which he looked up …
This woman, making this appearance in the office, who is she trying to provoke again?
Jerry Xiao’s eyes deepened slightly, his handsome brow furrowed tightly as he took a few steps closer, “Zoey Baker, what are you up to?”
Zoey was still trying out the lamp, not expecting Jerry Xiao would suddenly come in, and was shocked by this drink. The hand holding the lamp is loose, the chair under the foot is unstable, the next moment, the whole person will fall down from above.
Jerry Xiao swears he really didn’t want to save her! But, the action was faster than the thought.
When he came back to his senses, a fresh smell had come to his nose, like the scent of lime. A warm and soft body, he was densely swept up in his arms. The two rolled to the ground in unison.
Zoey was not expecting him to help, so she could only stare at him in amazement for a long time. Listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling his steady breathing, Zoey even forgot to say thank you, and forgot to get up from him, and could only stare at him greedily.
The last time, so close to see him, is already five years ago …
“Have you seen enough?” Jerry Xiao lifted his lips coolly.
She was stunned.
Zoey Baker, you’re getting back to your old self! I can’t believe I’m staring at him!
“I’m sorry … oh no, I should say thank you …” Zoey was a little incoherent and panicked as she tried to get up off of him.
But his wrist was suddenly gripped by Jerry Xiao. His eyes were deep, narrowing slightly as he gazed at Zoey playfully, “Zoey Baker, you didn’t mean to make this scene, did you? Hmm?”
“What?” Zoey was confused by his question.
Jerry Xiao looked at her eyes without a trace of impurities, eyes slightly wavering down. And then, the exit voice is colder, “you better be as you said today, no longer have half a thought about me. First, you are not worthy! Second, I may love anyone, but never a dirty woman like you!”
Zoey shuddered.
Today, he really did hear those words. That’s why it’s such an unpleasant humiliation in return? He doesn’t give a damn about her love!
Zoey’s eyes are slightly red, but stubbornly do not let the tears fall, just bending his head to look at the handsome face close at hand, hold lips smile, try to collect the hurt under the eyes.
“President, you are thinking too much. The reason why I stand so high is just to get a new lamp, neither to seduce you, nor to ask you to fall in love with me. What I said with Sunny today, Mr. Xiao may not have heard clearly, I can repeat it again. I …”
Jerry Xiao eyes slightly sunk, there are a few cool mist rose up, cold eyes looking at the body of the woman as calmly as possible from his own arms away.
The moment the warmth and softness disappeared from his arms, he somehow felt cold. Did you really hurt your head?
The two of them got up from the ground one after another, Zoey looked at him and quickly looked down to fix her dress. At that moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up off the floor and looked at it, and the screen showed her home number. It must be the kids calling her home!
The heart is slightly alarmed, not daring to look at Jerry Xiao, afraid that he knows something. I had to turn around and carefully put the phone to my ear.
“Hey …”
“Zoey, when are you coming back? It’s late, grandma said there will be wolf dogs at night.” It’s brother KK, and his childish voice is crisp and clear.
“Zoey, you didn’t let the little wolf dog take you away, did you? Uncle said he’s going to rescue you! I want to go too!” Nini yelled over there in a milky voice.
Zoey couldn’t help but ‘giggle’ at the innocent children’s words, forgetting the presence of someone on the other side and laughing, “Little fool. Be good and wait for me at home, I’ll be right back.”
“I want to eat chocolate, Zoey, bring me chocolate, okay?” Nini demanded, so softly begging, so pathetically that Zoey couldn’t refuse. But someone beat her to it, “No! Look at you, you’re going to lose your front teeth to the worms! Uncle doctor said that Nini can’t eat sweets anymore!”
“Oooh, KK is so nasty! Big nuisance!” Nini was not happy to be lectured by her brother and was aggravated as hell.
Immediately after, Owen Baker took the phone over and laughed straight, “The house is bustling with activity with these two little guys around. Eh, how long are you going to be back? I’ll pick you up.”
“Pack up and go right away.”
“Then wait for me for two minutes and I’ll take the kids with me to pick you up. They’re not worried, they’ve been chanting all night.”
Zoey smiles gratefully, “Well. Then I’ll meet you downstairs at the office.”
Zoey felt a slight chill in the air around her, and only then did she wake up to the fact that Jerry was still behind her. The first time I looked back, I bumped into his dark, deep pupils. He looked straight at her like that, as if he wanted to see her bones.
Zoey’s heart gave a sudden shock.
Could it be that he heard what was said on the phone? But even if he knew she had children, he wouldn’t know that they were his!
Zoey felt like she was scaring herself, calmed herself down as much as she could, and tried to open her lips to say something when he opened them coldly, “Boyfriend?”
Such intimate words like ‘little fool’, who else could it be if not a boyfriend? Also, her bright and sweet smile …
All this, reflected in Jerry Xiao’s eyes are so blinding!
After five years, all the negative news disappeared and she could be happy again. But what about them, the Xiao Family? Her brother died, her parents were devastated, and the family was in decline …
The home was cloudy until now, and the warmth of the family once was long gone!
It’s all because of this hateful woman in front of me!
“Hmm?” Zoey looked at him with some confusion.
Jerry Xiao had some cold light in his eyes and closed in on her at once with an evil look, “Zoey Baker, what would your current boyfriend think of you if he knew about those unpleasant comments you made five years ago?”
Zoey blinked her clear eyes.
Boyfriend? Where did she get a boyfriend? Taking care of those two little things in the past few years had consumed almost all her energy, so how could she have time to have a boyfriend?
He obviously misunderstood! A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, but it’s better than knowing that two children exist. Besides, he wouldn’t care if she had a boyfriend.
Zoey thought sarcastically, looked at him, smiled blandly, and reminded, “President, this is my personal business.”
Jerry Xiao’s eyebrows twisted, a trace of loneliness and cold stern under his eyes, he immediately choked Zoey’s jaw, “If it wasn’t for you, Chuck would not have happened! He was buried alone in the ground, in the dark. And now you’re enjoying the sweetness of love so damn much, how can you be so comfortable with it?”
The anger and disgust that flared up in his eyes left Zoey stunned and with a stifling pain in her chest.
If he knew that the man she was with that night was in fact himself, would he also take the charge of ‘murder’ on himself? At that time, how could he live with himself? How would he face all this?
He wouldn’t be able to take a hit like that!
Just thinking about it makes Zoey feel unbearable.
Tolerating the hard feelings in her heart, her lower jaw was held by him with huge pain, and she did not struggle, only looked at him sincerely, “For the past tragedy, I apologize. I’m sorry, if I had known things would turn out like this … I would not have let it happen …”
That night, she would not have walked into his room and approached his side. Even though, he made her heart flutter like that …
Those clear, watery eyes, filled with apologies, made Jerry Xiao startled. That gaze was soft, as if it looked into his heart. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Without waiting for Zoey to breathe a sigh of relief, he looked heavily at Zoey and turned to leave.
Damn! He was softened up by that look in her eyes just now!
The incandescent light slanted on his upright back, elongating his figure.
Zoey doesn’t know if it’s her own illusion, but she actually feels that he looks kind of lonely at this time.
These years he must be bad – the Xiao Family was once brilliant and warm, all his happiness, but now all that is cruelly slipping away at his fingertips …
Zoey pursed her lips guiltily, but finally spoke up and called out to him, “President.”
Jerry Xiao stopped in his tracks and didn’t look back.
Zoey pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, “Are you and Nabi … still in touch?”
Mentioning those three words, Jerry Xiao’s body stiffened. The fist did not move and clenched at his side.
Even though it was a subtle gesture, Zoey didn’t ignore it.
Heh, it turns out, his heart Nabi’s still Nabi, no matter, who is now staying with him.
“What does this have to do with you?” His voice, as cool as this night.
Zoey sighed softly, “Did you know she married my brother?”
How could he not know? The purpose of this return includes this.
