Chapter 277 – Love having her around

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

“No.” Sea Gu’s eyes darkened, like starbursts over a thin veil, he still stared sullenly at Zoey ,: “If the woman I love has a little place in her heart that belongs to me, I will not hesitate to rush up, even if it is in pieces. It’s just a pity that … she will always have only one other man in her eyes.”
Zoey looked at his gloomy look, his heart flushed with a trace of intolerance, he should not bring up his sadness. I wanted to comfort him, but he leaned back in his chair, his eyes raised, “But it’s okay. I’m just waiting for the right opportunity. One more time, let me see her suffer or aggravated, I will not be willing to be a bystander.”
Zoey smiled a little. Lifting her chopsticks, she gazed at him, “Shouldn’t I fight for it properly, then?”
The astringent feeling at the bottom of his heart expanded in a circle, and Sea Gu felt that he was simply looking for guilt, but had to put on a generous face and spread his hands, “Of course.”
“Thanks.” Zoey looked a little brighter, “I decided to listen to you!”
Since, she loves that man, very much, far more than she loves her own life, then why is she holding back? Just because she was afraid of getting hurt?
This is too cowardly!
After a meal, Sea Gu became more and more depressed, and his chest was clogged. Only after separating from Zoey, he dragged a group of brothers and ran to a tavern to drink. The Japanese women hugged and giggled for most of the night, but in the end did not touch them with a finger.
Zoey, on the other hand, was in a much better mood.
After returning to the hotel, I washed up, lay in bed again for a while, and rechecked the work content. When I looked up at the time, it was already after 8:00 pm.
He, still not back?
Zoey fished over the phone, looked at the time, pursed his lips, but still could not resist dialing over.
She thought that he might not be comfortable answering his own phone in the hospital, but, surprisingly, he picked up quickly.
Just that there was no initiative to speak.
Zoey’s heart was inexplicably beating fast, and she was listening to his breathing through the phone. It took a while to break the silence, “Have you eaten dinner?”
“Not yet.” He, with a clearly identifiable tiredness in his voice.
Zoey’s heart ached. Standing by the window, looking at the lights downstairs. Heard him continue to ask, “What about you?”
“Well, I’ve eaten.” Zoey ruffled the curtains and licked her lips before saying tentatively, “Are you still at the hospital? How about I bring you dinner now?”
Can not be hungry! Today he has been sitting in the hospital for a whole day, if he continues to starve, his stomach should starve out!
“No need.” He, without thinking, refused.
Zoey darkened her expression. Lost, a soft sigh. The next instant, but heard him say, “You open the door.”
“Hmm?” She wondered.
“Open the door.” He threw down only two words, and the next second Zoey heard a knock on the door.
He, surprisingly, is outside his own door?
Zoey almost exclaimed with a leap of joy. An indescribable feeling of joy and emotion passed through her heart. It was as if the most precious thing had suddenly been found, Zoey immediately cut off the phone and dashed to the door like a little girl.
Outside the door, Jerry Xiao was standing there. On his handsome face, he could not hide his exhaustion. When he saw her, his eyes were deep. They looked at each other for a few seconds, and their minds wavered before Zoey snapped out of it and turned sideways, “Come in.”
Jerry Xiao stepped into the hall and sat down on the couch, Zoey went to get him a glass of water, “You haven’t taken your cold medicine today, have you? I’ll go get it for you.”
Zoey turned to go out, but Jerry Xiao dragged her wrist. She lowered her eyes and met his deep eyes, “No need to go, I’ve gotten much better.”
He liked the feeling of having her with him. It seemed that even the tiredness became less intense …
With his hand in hers, the warmth of his hand was constantly transferred to her and burned into her skin, and Zoey felt her heart beat so fast.
“So what do you want to eat? I’ll have the waiter bring it up.”
“Hmm. You just watch.” Jerry Xiao threw himself into the sofa, head back, and leaned against it. Raising his hand, he pressed his brow and closed his eyes to rest.
Zoey whispered softly into the bedroom to make a phone call, turned around and saw his tired appearance, his heart crossed a circle of softness and intolerance.
I was about to go over there when the doorbell suddenly rang. Room service is not so fast, Zoey can not help but some strange, hurriedly pull open the door, but see Feng standing outside the door.
“Secretary Baker, the president is back, right?”
“Yeah.” Zoey replied in a soft voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing him in the hall. Turning back, she gave him a deep stare before saying, “Just arrived a while ago. Can I help you?”
“This is the information that the president asked me to send over.” Feng handed the document to Zoey , looked inside again and pursed his lips before saying, “You tell the president that the project over here can’t be delayed any longer. In the next two days, we must have a serious meeting with the person in charge in Japan.”
Zoey put the papers away before nodding. “I’ll talk to him, don’t worry.”
“Hmm. I’ll go first then.” Feng nodded his head, turned around and left.
Zoey walks in, holding the thick file in her hand. She was hesitant to wake him up. He was already tired from staying at the hospital all day today, but to finish reading these papers so late?
The heart could not bear it, and before he could say anything, he had slowly opened his eyes. “Give me the paper.”
“Reading at this late hour?” Zoey handed him the file.
“Hmm.” Jerry Xiao nodded, “The job can’t be put off any longer.”
He still has a lot on his hands, but the first thing he did when he rushed back from the hospital was to unconsciously go to her.
He didn’t know exactly what he was going to do, maybe, just look at her, listen to her voice, breathe the air that smelled like her.
This, inexplicably, put him at ease.
“How is Nabi … doing? Is the recovery going well?” Zoey sat close to him, holding her cup of hot water.
The air, filled with the smell of belonging to him, she felt more content than ever.
Hearing her question, he looked at the documents with a slight pause in his eyes, and did not glance sideways over, just a slight nod, “Well. The situation is quite stable. After discussing with her family, she will be transferred back to her country in a couple of days when the situation has stabilized.”
“Oh …” Zoey took a light sip of hot tea, the hot mist dense in her eyes, a little hazy. “Then she knows … her own legs …”
She didn’t continue to say more. Only to hear Jerry Xiao’s voice with continued gloom as well, “Don’t know yet. Want to wait until she’s a little more stable.”
“Well … that’s right.” Zoey nodded her head.
He returned his attention to the paper, and Zoey, fearing to disturb him, said nothing more. She wanted to get up to do something else, but he suddenly took her hand.
She froze for a moment and looked back at him. He raised his head, his eyes deep, “Sleepy?”
“Not sleepy yet.”
“Then sit down a little longer.” He released his hand and patted down the side gently. Gesturing for Zoey to sit down again.
He, liked, the feeling of having her around.
Heart, do not feel empty …
His request made Zoey’s heart flutter with sweetness. The corners of her lips raised in a beautiful curve, she complied and sat down. For the rest of the day, the entire space was quiet, with only the occasional sound of him flipping through papers.
Zoey just sat quietly beside him, doing nothing, but also did not feel the slightest bit bored. As if just looking at him, listening to his breathing, are feeling more satisfied than ever.
It was only when the room service arrived that the warm and quiet atmosphere was broken. He put down the documents, Zoey already got up and pushed in all kinds of dishes.
A wafting fragrance is overflowing, making people in a pleasant mood. Especially, in the company of also her …
Jerry Xiao raised his eyebrows, “Can you finish ordering so many?”
“It’s so late now. Looks like you’ll have to stay up later.” Zoey takes her chopsticks while looking at the clock on the wall, “It’s better for your stomach if you digest well before you go to bed.”
“Mmm.” Her gentle admonition made him feel welcome. Just sitting on the couch, waiting for her to come over, Zoey carefully opened all the meals and laid them out in front of him. Handing him the chopsticks, she introduced them with pleasure: “Try this, it tastes really good! Ingram had to force me to eat it at night, otherwise I would have missed something so delicious.”
The first thought of something beautiful is to share it with him.
When he heard her words, Jerry Xiao paused in his movements of chopping vegetables. He turned his face sideways and narrowed his eyes at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zoey brought his water over and set it on the low table, “See if I can get full?”
“It’s not even close to being a good meal.” Jerry Xiao replied slyly, as if he was angry and didn’t put his chopsticks there. Jerry Xiao replied slyly, as if he was a bit angry, and simply did not put his chopsticks over there, Zoey did not know he was having a tantrum, and only recommended him this and that.
Jerry Xiao couldn’t help himself and choked down an octopus ball before looking at her and asking coolly, “Did you eat with Ingram tonight?”
“Hmm.” Zoey nodded her head, frank as can be. The more she did so, the more Jerry Xiao felt uncomfortable in his heart. This woman, is not the least bit worried about him thinking too much, no intention to explain?
He grunted grimly, “Why don’t you go to the hot springs with him again at night? Don’t you quite like him?”
“I do like him.” Zoey’s words fell and she felt the cold air running through her body.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
So, is he jealous with himself?
“Hey, what are you laughing at?” The happier she laughed, the more depressed he felt, his heart clogged.
“Jerry, you’re not jealous, are you?” Zoey stopped laughing and looked at him seriously. Those eyes, crystal shining, with undisguised expectation.
Jerry Xiao’s entire body froze. Her question seemed to poke a certain piece of his heart, and a touch of unnaturalness crossed his face. He skimmed his lips, a little annoyed look, “Jealous? Why should I be jealous? You really think highly of yourself.”
Zoey had guessed that he would answer this way, but was not too disappointed. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
Looking at her like this, Jerry Xiao suddenly felt a bit chagrined.
I think I said something wrong.
But it was harder than ever to get him to change his mind. So, he took his chopsticks and ate as much as he could from the meal she recommended. The first time I saw her smile, he was in a better mood. However, he still didn’t forget what he had just said, “Do you know that I met Sea Gu in the pharmacy this morning?”
When it comes to the pharmacy, Zoey can’t help but think of the time he made her take the pregnancy pill. Her eyes darkened slightly and she nodded, “Yeah. I’ve heard him mention it.”
He said it again! It seems that they communicate quite a lot!
