As usual, it was a morning meeting.
Jerry Xiao sat in the chair and listened to his subordinates’ presentations.
Zoey prepares the paperwork and circulates around the room.
Jerry Xiao found his attention, and actually got pulled away from her occasionally.
Today she wore the usual simple and sharp dress, bright yellow small jacket, and a pencil pants. It is a good idea to have a slimmer and more slender figure.
He has always been clear about public and private, at this moment, his mind will actually uncontrollably float back to last night she was in love with the look.
This is never a good sign!
“Mr. Xiao, what’s wrong?” Attentive, she noticed his loss of concentration as she handed over the documents. Worried that he was having a headache, she bent over and asked softly in a lowered voice.
The soft scent, and fresh fragrance, made Jerry Xiao more and more depressed.
It’s evil!
“I’m fine.” The voice, muffled. Glancing at her, he gestured with his lower jaw to her position and lowered his voice to command, “Sit back down!”
At times like this, getting so close is undoubtedly a torture for him.
Probably the interruption last night is what has turned him into his current state of lust.
Zoey felt something was wrong with him, but didn’t know what was going on, so she sat back down without moving. As she turned around, her hand was quietly pulled by him.
She was startled and scanned the room almost in panic.
The good thing is, their hands, under the conference table, who did not notice their strange. Only, Feng, who was sitting next to Jerry Xiao and was trying to take notes, noticed it, but he also immediately moved his eyes away with good sense and just pretended he didn’t notice anything.
But even so, Zoey blushed. Hands want to break away, but afraid that others find, so do not dare too reckless, only slightly bent over, a chat business look, “President, what are the orders?”
“What perfume do you use?”
Zoey froze. Only to hear the side of the Feng seems not to hold back, coughing hard several times.
She was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do. But Jerry Xiao grabbed her obstinately and seemed to not let go until she answered, so she had to meekly answer, “It’s not perfume, it’s the smell of body wash …”
“Body wash? What brand?”
Zoey’s head is falling in black lines.
What the hell is he thinking about? For this kind of question, he actually asked it so seriously.
Zoey hurriedly said the sign. He looked at her, “Isn’t that a sign for children?”
Zoey froze for a moment. Stunned that he would be clear.
That’s right, she was stealing all the baths from both kids. Just about to tell a little lie, he had let her go, “Go back and sit down.”
The palm loosens and Zoey breaks free from his grasp.
His heat, as if it still remained on the back of his hand. Burning her even heartbeat is ‘thumping’ accelerated …
Fly back to the position, not even dare to see a glance again. Head down to read the information, but can not read a word into. What the people on the stage were saying, she could not hear clearly.
For a while, couldn’t help but look up.
He has re-entered the state, listening carefully, focused on the large screen. zoey can only see the side of his well-defined face, each of the five features are handsome and charming, occasionally stretching the brow, occasionally pursed thin lips …
Serious men, surprisingly, are so charming …
Zoey thought about what Nabi had said last night.
If he really wants to retaliate, I’m afraid she won’t even have the ability to resist.
But a mere hand-holding can make her whole heart and soul messed up.
Before the meeting broke up, Zoey came out early.
When I think of that little episode in the conference room just now, my heart is still beating nervously, and there is an indescribable feeling that crosses my heart, sweetly.
But just thinking about Nabi’s words last night made my chest feel tight again.
The emotion of worrying and losing her mind is haunting her.
Julie happened to come out of the pantry, and when she saw her appearance, she smiled narrowly, “You’re not going to a meeting, why do you look like you’re in love? Your face is all red.”
Zoey was told by Julie, almost subconsciously touched her face, said nothing and ran to her cubicle and sat down.
Do you really have all your emotions written on your face?
She slapped her face in annoyance, and then she got up and went to work. She had a very important case waiting for her to work on, where was the spirit to think about what he was thinking?
The meeting broke up and everyone came out of the conference room, Jerry Xiao was the last one. Surrounded by several executives, he occasionally spoke to them with a sideways glance.
Zoey deliberately avoided looking at him. It was not until the door to the president’s office closed that Zoey looked up.
Not long after, Feng suddenly came to her side. Tapping on the desktop, “Secretary Baker.”
Zoey looked up and saw him get up in a hurry. Feng held down her shoulder and said in a lowered voice, “The president said to have lunch together at noon. Let you free up your noon time.”
Zoey subconsciously looked at the closed doorway.
Gathering her eyebrows, she thought for a moment and still gently refused. “Please talk to the president, I already have a lunch date with my colleagues.”
“So!” Feng looked regretful and had to nod, “Well then, I’ll talk to the president about it.”
“Thanks.”
“Then you get busy.”
Feng left, but Zoey’s heart was going round and round.
She is still afraid in the end. Afraid to be near him, afraid of getting hurt, afraid of making a fool of herself …
In front of this anxious unrequited love, she seems so small, and so powerless.
…
“She turned it down?!” Jerry Xiao’s brow furrowed tightly.
“Secretary Baker said he had a dinner date with a colleague.” Feng answered truthfully.
“What colleague is so important? A male colleague?!” He actually minded being rejected by her. This woman, she had always been responsive to his requests.
“This subordinate doesn’t know.” Feng glanced at the president’s ugly face and asked, “Then, is the president still attending that noon meal as scheduled?”
“Push it.” Jerry Xiao was signing papers with a heavy pen. Was this woman playing hard to get?
If that’s true, then she must have misjudged!
His interest in her is not that strong yet! It must be because of last night’s titillation that made him tickle like this now.
But that’s not even a move!
Jerry Xiao defines this strange feeling in this way.
…
When he came out of the office at noon, he saw Zoey laughing and discussing with her colleagues where to go for lunch.
“Let’s go to a Japanese restaurant?” Someone suggested.
“It takes too long, and we have to come back to rest! Otherwise how can we have time to work in the afternoon?” Someone immediately retorted.
“So Thai food?”
“I hate the smell of curry!”
“Okay, French dinner, okay?”
“Don’t like steak!”
“Shit! Damn hammer, get your ass to the poo!”
Zoey looked on with a smile at the discussion, but she didn’t participate. Whatever she eats is OK for her, she has never been a picky eater.
“All right, no one argue, let’s talk about it when we get out of the company!” Someone gave an order and made the decision in a domineering manner.
Zoey had already packed her things and was ready to go with Julie on her arm.
Once I turned around, I saw Jerry Xiao standing there with a not-so-great face, hands resting in his pockets, and slowly opened his mouth, “Secretary Baker, I remember I gave you advance notice for lunch together at noon. About the bid, I think you should talk to me.”
Zoey froze for a moment.
In that case, due to the president’s face, she couldn’t refuse him.
Moreover, once all the colleagues heard the president’s words, they dared not bring Zoey along.
The crowd expressed envy and jealousy, and pushed Zoey towards the president.
Zoey wanted to say something, but Jerry Xiao simply said, “Let’s go” and walked ahead.
Zoey could only follow immediately, heading for the elevator.
Have not yet walked there, only to hear a ‘ding – ‘ a crisp ring, the elevator doors abruptly opened.
A figure, stepping down from inside the elevator.
The crowd looked up.
Jerry Xiao only lightly glanced at, but Zoey stood there, face slightly stiffened.
Surprisingly, it is … Nabi Yan.
Came at a good time …
“Why didn’t you call me before you came?” Jerry Xiao’s expression did not change much, and there was naturally no reproach in his words.
Nabi Yan walked over and naturally took Jerry Xiao’s arm, smiling gently, “Wanted to give you a surprise. Anyway, it’s dinner time, so I came to find you to eat with me.”
It seems that only then did he see Zoey standing on the side, “Hey, Zoey is here too? Why don’t you come to dinner with us?”
Jerry Xiao frowned slightly and pulled his arm out of Nabi Yan’s hand without moving. Just want to say something, but only to see Zoey has turned around, smiling and holding Julie’s hand, refused Nabi Yan, “A group of our colleagues are preparing to get together, so we won’t join you, you accompany Mr. Xiao to eat!”
What does this woman mean?
Jerry Xiao’s brow furrowed even more.
“Hey, Zoey Baker!” he called out to her.
But she didn’t even look back, and once the elevator door opened, she took Julie and went in, before turning around and asking Nabi with a smile, “Do you want to come up together?” Nabi Yan, who was holding Jerry Xiao, shook her head, “No. There are so many of you. You have so many colleagues, go up first, Jerry and I will take the elevator over there!”
…
The elevator door closed and everyone looked at Zoey .
Julie elbowed Zoey, “Who’s that woman? You know her?”
It’s her sister-in-law, of course she knows her. But how could Zoey tell the truth?” Well, a friend only.”
“The president for a new girlfriend?” Some people gossip, “I remember that the woman the president now see are missing the grin. Two days ago, I also let me send her away once. That woman is not to be messed with, angry away.”
“I see, this woman is more reliable than the one last time. Look at her, gentle and soft, looks quite understanding.” .
“Zoey, who is this woman? Is not which family’s golden girl? The air is also very good!”
Zoey pulled her lips, “I think we’d better think about what we’re going to eat for lunch now, so we don’t get downstairs and not know which way to go.”
After lunch with colleagues, and then back to the office is only a little more than 1:00, everyone is lying in the cubicle to rest, Zoey took a cup to the pantry.
When I passed by the president’s office, I subconsciously glanced inside.
She was startled for a moment when she saw the trail inside. He had come back right away?
“Zoey Baker, you come in!” He spotted her passing by, too, and his icy voice drifted from inside.
Sounds like a very bad mood.
Zoey had to go in, set the cup aside, and call out to him, “President.”
“Put the door on!” Jerry Xiao ordered with an expressionless face.
Zoey turned back and closed the door behind her. He had risen from the couch and was at Zoey’s heels in a few steps.
Zoey was startled and took a step back when he took another unceremonious step closer.
Zoey was backed into a corner by him.
