“Not until now, you’re not really going to resign, are you? Although yesterday’s case had a little accident, however, the president does not seem to blame you at all. I just brewed coffee for him when I went in and found him in a good mood. Don’t leave.” Julie came over to keep Zoey.
Zoey, however, only caught the last sentence. “Did you make his coffee again?”
Julie rolled her eyes, “Hey! That’s not my point, okay?”
“He’s not well enough to drink coffee.” Zoey subconsciously looked into the office, thinking about whether to make a glass of milk and send it in, Julie looked at her, “Zoey, let me remind you, you are overly concerned! Hey, you don’t have a crush on our president, do you?”
Zoey froze. The next second, immediately sheepishly hanging his head, “Which has, I just … show, as a subordinate the most basic concern …”
“Is that so?” Julie was clearly half-hearted.
“Secretary Baker, the president wants you to come in, there’s something for you.” Feng tapped Zoey’s desktop to remind her.
“Oh.” Zoey hurriedly stopped chatting with Julie and got up to walk to the office.
…
“Why didn’t you come until now? Today’s morning meeting is a reflection of yesterday’s bid case, and the biggest loser, yet he took leave and didn’t participate!” Jerry Xiao didn’t even raise his head when he spoke to Zoey, only busy with his own business. The tone of his voice was harsh, completely boss tone.
“Sorry, president. I had to take half a day off because I hadn’t resolved the matter at home yesterday. It won’t happen again next time.” Zoey sincerely reflected.
Jerry Xiao glanced at her, then lowered his head and asked, as if casually, “Is it your Baker family’s company that has been having problems lately?”
“Hmm?” Zoey froze for a moment, then shook her head, “No, just life stuff.”
Jerry Xiao also did not circle on this issue, only to look at her: “write a review, handed to me. About the sudden departure before yesterday’s case, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation in front of your colleagues! You are failing a team effort and trust in you.”
Zoey pursed her lips guiltily, “I’m sorry. I’ll explain.”
“Then you go out.” Jerry Xiao waved his hand, suddenly thought of something and paused again, “There is one more thing …”
“Hmm?” Zoey looked away from him.
“You get ready, you go along on the business trip tomorrow.”
“Me?” Zoey pointed at himself in surprise. He had traveled quite a bit before, but never brought himself along, basically some of the top brass followed.
Jerry Xiao narrowed his eyes, his eyes darkened slightly, “What? Is there something important at your home again?”
“No, it just seemed sudden.” Zoey explained, and asked, “What time tomorrow? I wonder which case I’m working on this time, and what I need to do to prepare?”
“This Feng will inform you. You go out!”
“Hmm. I’m going out to do something then.” Zoey nodded, glanced at him again, and added, “How’s the injury on your back, how’s it going?”
Jerry Xiao moved tentatively, “It doesn’t seem to hurt as badly.”
“Oh.” Zoey thought for a moment, looked at the half-drunk espresso on his desk, took the cup away, looked at him, and admonished, “Less coffee.”
Jerry Xiao’s eyes lingered on the closed door for a long time before she drew back her eyes and returned her attention to her work.
Zoey Baker, if she hadn’t been involved with them, the Xiao Family, would things have been a lot easier?
“Secretary Baker, the flight is at 10 tomorrow morning, so get ready. The media launch of the new project over there needs some materials, I will send you the work assignment tonight.” Zoey had just come out of the office when Feng came over to explain.
“Okay.”
“The intensity of the work outside these days will be higher, so rest early at night.”
“Definitely.”
As soon as Feng left, Julie came over and smiled, “The president is taking you on a business trip, huh?”
“Hmm.” Zoey buried her head in her work.
“You are not secretly in love with the president, there is a big opportunity outside, hold on to it!”
Zoey blushed and glared at her, “Nonsense!”
“Don’t say I’m talking nonsense, now is the really good opportunity. Did you notice that the woman at the beginning didn’t come to the president anymore? The Baker family young grandmother you know at the back has not appeared for a long time, right? I reckon the president must have broken up with them all! You appear now is the best time!”
Julie’s words, in turn, reminded Zoey .
Indeed, not only has Sunny Qin not shown up lately, but even Nabi hasn’t come to Jerry Xiao. after the last photo reveal and her successful divorce, shouldn’t they be able to be together properly?
…
When Zoey came out of the pharmacy and returned to the office, the president’s office was still occupied.
Zoey gently pushes in the door and Jerry Xiao is sitting on the couch in a video conference with executives from the UK. He looks particularly charming as he is focused on the meeting.
Hearing the movement, he turned his face slightly, saw that it was Zoey also did not interrupt the meeting, but only slightly passed a look to Afong. Afong then pulled open the door and came out.
“Secretary Baker, can I help you?”
“I’ll give him the medicine.” Zoey handed the wound medicine in her hand to Feng, “Put some medicine on him later. The injury is on the back.”
Feng looked at it, “Okay. Then get ready to leave work, and don’t be late tomorrow morning.”
“Hmm.” Zoey turned to pack her things, and Feng went inside.
Before Zoey could pack up, Feng pulled open the door and came out again. “Secretary Baker, the president asked you to wait for a little while, the meeting will be over soon.”
“Oh, okay.” Zoey gathered her things, checked her email again and sat there waiting for him. Sure enough, the meeting was soon over, he pulled the door open and came out, saw she was still there, and said, “Help me with the dressing!” . He asked her to wait here, so she could put medicine on him?
Zoey went in as instructed, he walked right into the lounge, took off his jacket as usual, pulled off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt.
Zoey only looked at his back, but also felt her heart beating hard.
For this man, very often, she couldn’t figure out what she was obsessed with for him, but once she was face to face, she realized that, in fact, every part of him could tug at her heartstrings. Perhaps just a small movement, or just a shallow breath …
“What are you staring at?” He turned around and looked down at her. zoey snapped back to attention and moved slightly uncomfortable to see his firm chest, pursing her lips before answering, “lie down, let me see the injury.”
Jerry Xiao obediently lie down on the bed, he seems a little tired, pulled a pillow in front of the chest, eyes closed, like a child rest up. zoey sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him this look can not help but feel some funny. He folded his arms and nodded his back, “Here, it hurts … and here, it’s a little hard …” his hands compared to several places, and finally even to his arms, and said in a vague voice: “A little sour.”
Zoey rolled her eyes, “Mr. Xiao, you’re looking for a free masseuse, right?”
Jerry Xiao doesn’t deny it either, “You’re not bad at it.”
Zoey first took medicine to his back, the back injury has now emerged a piece of bruises, see Zoey heart some hard.
Afraid of pressing him down and hurting him, she leaned down slightly and proceeded carefully. The soft hair drops from the ear, and with his face sideways, the tail of his hair then just hangs on the tip of his nose, tickling it. The light fragrance made him a bit intoxicated. The idea is to grab the tail of the hair and put it on the tip of your nose and sniff it.
Zoey’s heart jumped, but he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her sideways, eyes deep, as if there was an unspeakable emotion in the floating.
The look in his eyes, as if a poppy wrapped around his heart, so that the force of her hands are involuntarily softened, can only be stunned to let him look.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
With a gasp, Zoey didn’t wait for him to come back to her senses as his sharp, intense kisses poured in.
====
“Have we … been like this before?” He suddenly asked, gasping for breath, hazel misted eyes heavy with the slightest hint of confusion, and seemingly just a casual question.
A large palm moved up Zoey’s body and wrapped heavily around her slender waist.
Zoey heart a shock, small hand curled into a fist, held down on his shoulder, “we … and not the first time … such … ”
A complete sentence, she took several deep breaths before she finished wailing. The small face is already so red that it can drip blood, and her eyes are almost afraid to look directly at him.
“The first time, I felt the smell of you, very familiar …” The watery waves under his eyes became more and more blurred.
Zoey clutched the sheets beneath her, her heart throbbing. Was he talking about that night five years ago? Does he still remember it as much as she does? Or was that night just a blip in his life that he would forget?
Thinking about what happened five years ago, for a moment, Zoey even held her breath, and could only stare at him with misty eyes, nervously. The heart is mixed, and I don’t know if I want him to remember more, or forget more.
But, Jerry Xiao seems to be really just a casual remark, and did not pursue it. He bent his head and kissed her white neck deeply …
The door, however, was abruptly pushed open from the outside.
The two men on the bed were both stunned when they heard a heavy sigh of relief from the door. The familiar sound almost immediately brought Zoey to her senses.
