Chapter 243 – Preparing to Resign

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

“Envious?” Ingram raised an eyebrow in a bad way, “If you’re envious, you can come and sit here every day too.”
Zoey followed him, shaking her head, “You should give me a break, how can my body survive coming here to drink every day? The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Sea Gu picked a corner couch and sat down, listening to Zoey’s rambling words. Her words were soft, but they struck a chord hidden in his heart.
He didn’t say anything, just brought two glasses over and poured some of each. Handed one of them to Zoey.
Zoey looked at him, and in the ambiguous light, he looked a little forlorn, and it looked unbearable. zoey asked tentatively, “what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
“Well.” He was not ambiguous, nodded, looked at her, and drained the glass of wine in his hand, the slightest hint of loneliness flowing from his eyes, “I have no family right now. Oh, no! My dad might be half a family, but it’s not fun to be with him, he’s always arguing.”
The tone is dark and vaguely self-deprecating.
Sea Gu rarely talks about his family, but perhaps because he had a drink with Zoey and heard her say something from her heart, he has nothing to hide from her now.
The loneliness in his eyes made Zoey’s heart tremble slightly. It was hard to imagine that such a man who used to be so spirited would also have such a look in his eyes.
She took her glass and clinked it against his, took a symbolic sip of wine, tried to comfort him, but didn’t know where to start, so she said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would touch your heart.”
Her apologetic look, hair is not let Sea Gu up, raised his eyes a smile, “Know what the best way to comfort others is?”
Zoey tacitly took over, “Give the other person the benefit of the doubt about their misfortune.”
Sea Gu looked at him with a smile, “So tell me about your misfortune. Did you manage to get your boss?”
Speaking of his heart, Zoey was in a much lower mood. He took another big sip of wine before shaking his head, “No.”
No?
Sea Gu found himself actually feeling a little better. Was he a little too bad?
Hooking his lips, the smile under his eyes deepened, “How far has it gone now?”
Zoey rested her head on the couch and looked at Sea Gu with some sadness, “No development. He is still with my sister-in-law, and I … am ready to quit.”
Sea Gu looked at her gloomy and sad look and also felt a tightness in her chest.
Cast your eyes on the crystal light of the box, looking away, lightly spoke: “In fact, sometimes escaping is a good way to keep yourself from being hurt too much. If you can’t get it even if you try harder, then let go and let him never just disappear from your life, but also from here …”
His long, slender fingers, across the air than Zoey’s left chest.
Zoey looked at him, “Like you did with your father?”
He froze for a moment.
And then, nod your head.
“Yes, just like I did with my father. He can find any woman he likes, so why should I care so much? Out of sight is out of mind.” He said, and drained another glass of wine. Turned back to grab the bottle and poured another full glass.
Zoey looked at his obscure appearance, and in a trance, it was as if she saw his desolate heart.
It turns out that everyone has a scar that hurts when you touch it. And he was willing to open his heart in front of this person he had only met a few times.
Zoey’s heart moved, simply also drank the glass of wine, boldly handed the glass over, indicating him to fill up, “Tonight it’s my turn to drink with you.”
The kindness and warmth in her pretty pupils made Sea Gu’s heart flush with warmth.
This feeling, very odd and wonderful.
He laughed as he poured it out, “Just the amount of alcohol you have, do you have to work so hard for a case? I’m looking for a company but it depends on the strength!”
“I’m not bad at strength.” Zoey narrowed her eyes and downed her drink.

Sea Gu doesn’t compliment Zoey’s drinking ability.
She, again, was drunk! Only two glasses of wine.
Half-carrying her out of the box, the cold wind, Zoey’s wine stained face crinkled into a ball.
“Cold …” she murmured, and subconsciously dug into Sea Gu’s arms.
Sea Gu’s entire body stiffened.
In the next second, the fierce will Zoey loose, tugging their own body jacket, to Zoey body cover.
Zoey dazed, light-headed, can not stand. sea gu is putting on her coat, she instinctively grabbed his neck, beaming at him to complain, “cold … you send me back … ”
The soft and fragrant body shrank back into Sea Gu’s arms as she spoke.
Sea Gu stifled a grunt and held her upright, yelling down in no uncertain terms, “Zoey Baker, you stand still! Don’t treat me like a man!”
He was simply furious …
This stupid woman, with her poor taste in alcohol! The last time in the hotel, she was so up and down on him that sparks almost came out. If he hadn’t been taking cold showers in the bathroom, her virginity would have been lost!
But she hasn’t learned a thing!
“Man?” Zoey’s bewildered look is especially cute. Red lips glistened brightly in the neon light. She tightened her arms and he moved a little closer to her. Blinking, as if trying to see him more clearly, her face became more confused, “Who are you?”
This stupid woman, she even forgot who he is!
Sea Gu is angry to jump, looking at that silly look, the heart of a cross, simply hold her face, huffing and puffing on the lips over her lips printed hard.
I don’t believe this stupid woman will forget herself!

Jerry Xiao came out of the MISS clubhouse to socialize, and he never thought he would actually see this scene.
She was wearing a man’s jacket, thinking about her toes, and being kissed passionately.
In such a cold night, this scene should be warm and moving, but Jerry Xiao felt so cold that even his teeth were chattering.
She lied to him!
You don’t have that kind of relationship with Sea Gu? If not, then what is this now? Go to hell!
Jerry Xiao’s eyes could almost burn fire out of them. Feng, who was walking on the side, was shocked by his too obvious anger and mentally winced before saying, “President, it’s Secretary Baker.”
Yes! Do you need him to remind you of that? He could not have seen it more clearly!
Jerry Xiao gave him a fierce glare, and the next second, he walked towards the man and woman who were kissing happily.

Zoey was dazed and didn’t know what she was doing until a coolness on her lips jolted her awake a bit.
When she saw that face, she let out a cold sweat. Thinking that she was drunk and disorderly, she struggled to take a step back and was about to apologize, but before she could say anything, she felt a shadow closing in on her.
Her slender arm, at once, was fiercely clasped by a large palm.
The force was so strong that it almost looked like she hated to crush her.
“Mr. Xiao, what a coincidence!” Sea Gu greeted, still with the same immodest tone.
Mr. Xiao?
Zoey looked up in surprise, and at first met a pair of eyes that could almost spit fire.
The heart is astonished.
Why is he here? Did he see her and Ingram kissing just now? What would he think of himself?
One question after another popped up from her already dizzy mind, she frowned uncomfortably and didn’t know what to do.
“Take the clothes off your body!” Jerry Xiao spoke, almost with a yell.
She was wearing another man’s clothes, and he actually felt the sting!
Zoey froze for a moment at the yell. On one side, Sea Gu frowned.
Jerry Xiao thought Zoey didn’t want to, and the next second, he took it upon himself to pull Zoey’s jacket off. He was so angry that his action was so rough that Zoey was in pain. She struggled and protested: “Jerry … you gently …”
Jerry Xiao couldn’t listen, but Sea Gu couldn’t stand it and grabbed Jerry Xiao’s shoulders, his face was free of those impudent smiles, “You’re hurting her! Let go!”
Jerry Xiao’s face was blue as he shook off Sea Gu and took off Zoey’s jacket. He threw it back to Sea Gu, and then dragged Zoey’s hand to leave.
This came and went, Zoey finally woke up. She subconsciously struggled, looked at his angry back, advised him, “Jerry, you let go first …”
“Still not embarrassed enough to kiss in a place like this?” Jerry Xiao looked at her mockingly, but his hand did not let go.
The disparity between the strength of men and women makes it impossible for Zoey to break free.
I had to turn around and call Sea Gu to say sorry and say goodbye to him.
“Ingram …”
The words only fell, Jerry Xiao’s face sank more and more. The first time I heard her softly call another man’s name, he actually felt his chest tighten uncomfortably.
Extremely need to vent with what!
Or, simply let the names of other men disappear completely.
With that in mind, the next moment, he suddenly bent his head to hold Zoey’s face. The thumbs of both hands rested on her soft lips and rubbed them hard a few times, as if to wipe the taste of others off her lips.
Zoey was about to cry out in pain and the next moment …
His face, fiercely enlarged in front of her heels. His lips rushed straight into her mouth.
The eyes, blinking down.
The softest spot in her heart trembled viciously because of this kiss. For a long, long time, her mind was only blank.
Forget the roughness he just had, forget where he is now, and forget …
On the one hand, the gloomy Sea Gu.
Not close enough to look at them, even her heartbeat and intoxication, can see so clearly.
To stop the movement, froze. And then, with a bitter smile, he took a step back, and then another step back.
Following that, he turned around and daintily threw his jacket over his shoulder.
But, tonight, the heart, surprisingly dashing not up …
The light, his figure, pulled a long, long …
It is said to be out of sight, but why is it that when I have turned away from it, my heart is still so troubled?

Sunny Qin was unwilling to let Jerry Xiao be snatched away by Zoey Baker, so she called Feng several times to ask him about Jerry’s whereabouts tonight, originally wanting to make another effort.
But, I never expected to see this scene when I got down from the car with full expectation.
Under the lights, the image of Jerry and Zoey kissing, it is equivalent to a hot slap on her face, slapping her almost can not come back …
He kissed her fiercely like a pissed off lion, sucking her lips and tongue as if he wanted to suck her whole body into his lungs.
Such hysterical predation made Zoey want to retreat in fear. But he curled around her more and more forcefully, nibbling her crimson lips with a vengeance.
What does he want?
Zoey was so aggravated that she wanted to cry.
Why is it that every time when she is about to give up, he comes out at the wrong time to tease her, always making her hold on to unrealistic fantasies again? And the next moment, he pushed her into the abyss?
She was fed up with this back-and-forth, up-and-down affection! Didn’t want to look forward to and be disappointed like a fool anymore.
