With one aggressive step, Zoey was cornered in the elevator.
Zoey’s nose tingled at the familiar scent that easily intoxicated her. She reached out to push him, but he lifted both her hands up and pinned them against the elevator wall.
The polished wall reflects his cold, grim cheeks.
“How far did you get when it happened? Done?”
He found himself damn well caring about it!
The bluntness of his question caused Zoey to draw a cold breath.
In his mind, she has always been such a casual person! Even more so, she was so lowly that she could be used as a husband!
Does he really think that she, Zoey Baker, has no self-respect and can be humiliated and flattened by him?
Heart to the most painful place, Zoey is laughing. Laughing out of tears, defiantly looked at him, “These are my personal matters. I don’t think I need to report to my boss. Please let go of the president, if you continue to be so disrespectful, I will sue you for sexual harassment!”
That fallen tears, actually made his heart inexplicably ache. And such a strong attitude, more let him manic depression up.
When she was about to break away, he suddenly bent his head and kissed her hard on the lips in one fell swoop.
The cool taste of mint instantly filled the mouth, laced with the dominance that belonged to him alone.
Zoey’s whole body trembled, and the tip of her heart ached uncontrollably. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
Rather than a kiss, it’s a nibble at the moment.
It seems to be with the urgent need to vent the emotions, as punishing her, he kissed frantically, kissed with passion.
But what is he doing here? Why should he be able to kiss her whenever he wants and humiliate her whenever he wants? Why should he punish her and vent his emotions?
What did he want to say after the kiss that would humiliate her even more? Or did he think that she was really a woman who would not be denied?
He can do all this with impunity, but all because he likes him!
But, enough!
She has to stop being stupid and only being bullied by him!
A great sadness, pervading from her chest, swept her whole being away.
Zoey suddenly struggled hard, Jerry Xiao obviously did not expect her to resist and was caught off guard by her pushing back.
He frowned at this rejection, looked at her with hatred, and took her face again with two strong hands, to continue the kiss.
The face, once again magnified in front of his eyes, Zoey raised his hand almost subconsciously.
“Pop-” a clear, crisp sound rang out in the elevator.
Jerry Xiao’s entire body froze there, and his face turned ugly to the extreme. In all his life, no woman has ever treated him like this!
And she, Zoey Baker, actually dared!
Zoey didn’t see herself striking out either. She had never been a savage person, and with Jerry Xiao, she had always been even less temperamental.
Now, he would be so angry that he would lose his mind and slap him!
Well, that’s good!
Anyway, they were supposed to be so saber-rattling and old-fashioned!
“Ding-“, the number on the LED jumped to 18, the elevator door opened, Zoey just snapped back to attention.
Looking at his red and swollen half of his face, she straightened out the clothes that had fallen to the floor in a messy manner before stepping out of the elevator in a calm manner.
After taking a step out, he looked back at Jerry Xiao, “Mr. Xiao, I will send the resignation letter to your desk in the morning. I hope you approve it!”
Jerry Xiao pursed his lips, did not speak. The pair of deep black pupils, just like that, sunken lock her in the air, sharp as if to pierce her whole person.
When she completely disappeared from sight, Jerry Xiao slammed his fist hard on the elevator wall in a rage.
Damn!
Want to resign?
Good! She should have gotten out right away! He had wanted to do that for a long time! Sending in a letter of resignation now is really to his liking!
This time, he’ll make sure she gets the hell out!
But why, he was not happy at all?
When Zoey entered the office, the Hammer group shook their heads and smacked their lips.
Trying to gather herself so that no one could see anything, Zoey asked them, “What’s wrong?”
“You’re actually late. Today’s morning meeting you did not come, the president asked more than five times in a row, let us call you, but your phone does not work. By the end of the meeting, but also a cadre of people severely disciplined, the whole company early in the morning is high pressure!”
Zoey lowered her eyes, “He’s probably going through menopause.”
The people all looked at each other, probably because they had never heard Zoey say anything too bad. zoey just turned on the computer and said indifferently: “I will quit tomorrow, from now on I can’t accompany you all to suffer together.”
After that, ignoring everyone’s questions, she opened the computer document and seriously entered the three big words ‘resignation letter’.
The original stubbornly wanted to stay in MY and refused to leave, but now when I look back and think about it, it seems to be because I still have an unrealistic expectation for Jerry Xiao.
Now that expectations are completely shattered, there’s no more reason to stay.
…
Sitting in the car, Feng is checking the mail, a resignation letter suddenly sprang out, he clicked open and read a long time, before looking away from the president, wanting to say something.
“Just say what’s there.” Jerry Xiao pressed his brow and leaned back in his seat wearily.
Feng had to say straight out, “I just received an email from Baker’s secretary. She wants to resign.”
Jerry Xiao’s fingers, which had landed on the car door, stiffened.
Hmph! She’s pretty quick! She just separated from her and now she sends an email! Can’t wait to get away from him?
He wouldn’t let her have her way!
“Delete it!”
“Huh?” Feng froze for a moment.
Jerry Xiao then opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, word for word, “I said: delete it!”
“Oh.” Feng hurriedly clicked the delete button.
It seems that the president is in a bad mood, it is really because of Secretary Baker. No wonder today at the meeting, asked several times in a row.
…
Zoey was relieved that Jerry Xiao didn’t come back all day after a long day of work.
As soon as it was time to leave work, Zoey packed her things and left.
When I got home, I felt exhausted. Zoey was chatting with Owen Baker when she saw Nabi coming home, so she silenced him and looked at Owen in a somewhat depressed mood.
How should she talk about what happened last night?
Owen Baker glanced at his sister, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s okay. Brother, Mom and Dad, you guys eat while I go up to check on the two kids.” If she told them what happened last night, Owen and Nabi’s marriage was bound to be unsustainable.
Divorce is something that I’m afraid my parents won’t be able to accept. However, the marriage has come to this point, I’m afraid it has to leave it!
Zoey goes upstairs where Nini and KK are sitting on the floor playing boxing.
Nini’s skills are poor and she was beaten by KK and screamed, “KK you bad guy, hit again and Nini will never play with you again!”
“Little mangy dog!” KK spat helplessly, “Okay, I’ll let you. Idiot, you can beat me by pressing this button!”
“It’s not knocked down!” Nini pouted and threw the handle in a playful manner.
KK shook her head, “You really don’t have the talent to play video games! Thanks to Uncle for teaching you so many skills!”
Zoey laughed as the two little ones got into a mess and pushed the door in, Nini climbed up and fell into Zoey’s arms, “Zoey, KK is a bully!”
“Where did I …” KK argued so aggressively.
Nini thought of something and said, “Zoey, my aunt borrowed your things yesterday.”
“What’s that?” Zoey didn’t put much thought into it and asked casually. Took the handle on the ground, planning to fight a bloody battle with KK to avenge Nini.
“It’s Zoey’s favorite pair of pearl earrings. Originally Nini was not going to lend them, but Zoey said to be generous, so Nini took them to her aunt!”
Zoey was frozen for a moment when she heard a knock on the door and Nabi’s voice came from outside, “Zoey, do you have time to talk to me?” Nabi’s voice came from outside, “Zoey, do you have time to talk to me? Zoey handed the handle to Nini and stood up while answering, “I’ll be right out.”
Zoey opens the door to her room and Nabi stands in the doorway looking at her with a somewhat mournful expression.
“Zoey , I searched for you all night yesterday.” She spoke softly.
“Sorry, my phone ran out of battery last night.”
“Come talk in my studio, will you?” Nabi invited.
Zoey nodded and took the lead in the studio. She sat on the couch, looking a little haggard, and Nabi Yan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, pursing her lips before speaking first, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you would be there last night. I know you must be angry with me.”
Zoey’s fingers, which were holding the water, shuddered gently before she spoke in an unusually calm manner: “It’s not me you should apologize to, it’s my brother.”
Nabi Yan lowered her eyebrows, “I’ll talk to Owen about it.”
Zoey nods. There’s nothing wrong with that. Setting Nabi free will also set Owen free.
“Zoey , can I ask you a question?” Nabi Yan sat down in front of Zoey, her eyes looking straight at hers.
Zoey didn’t say anything, just waited for her to continue.
“What is your relationship with Jerry? Last night, you came back in a hurry to get the medicine, was he having an attack?”
“I’m just his secretary.”
“Is that so?” Nabi Yan sighed and looked at Zoey with some loneliness , “I thought he was in love with you. You see, it was you he was looking for about his attack, but not me.”
Love? This word, used between them does not seem a little ridiculous.
Zoey smiled to herself, “He probably came to me because I was with him the last time he had an attack. I knew exactly what medicine he needed.”
“I hope it’s just that.” Nabi Yan did not hide her worry … about her sister-in-law, but all she cared about was another man, which made Zoey feel very uncomfortable. I want to go first, but Nabi pulled again, “Zoey , I ask you one more thing, you tell me the truth, OK?” .
The look in her eyes made Zoey stare. That look, as if it was going to look into her heart.
She suddenly panicked a little, her lips astringent, lightly responded: “You asked …”
“Your two children … are Jerry’s? Nini’s wiid disorder is inherited from him, right?” In fact, the answer to this, has long been called out, but Nabi Yan still want to ask clear.
Zoey never expected this question. Shocked and wide-eyed, she looked at Nabi Yan, “How do you … you know?”
“So … is really his …” Although the answer was already clear, but to hear Zoey himself admit it, the bottom of his heart still ‘thud ‘ a sound, heavily broken.
Grabbing Zoey’s hand, desperate tightening, and powerless inch by inch slipping …
Zoey, startled and panicked, returned Nabi’s cold hand, “Sister-in-law, tell me, how did you know? Does he, does Jerry know?”
