Chapter 288 – He, back?

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

“When you meet your soulmate, you have to bear the pain.” Sea Gu generously sent Gundam to KK’s hand, and the little guy thanked him heartily, while shaking the doll, “Thank you, Uncle! Gundam will not forget to love you!”
Sea Gu laughed. Rubbing his little head, he said to Zoey, “Your son will be my successor from now on.”
Zoey cried, “I don’t want my son to be a playboy.”
“I don’t spend either.” Sea Gu had to argue. The hem was gently pulled, a small face pitifully and expectantly raised, “Uncle, uncle, where is Nini’s gift?”
Sea Gu then wavered and bent down to pick Nini up, “Uncle didn’t forget about you.”
Sea Gu took another red Gundam from the luggage, “Here, this one is for Viv.
Nini’s little face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, not only without a smile, but also pitifully wrinkled like a small bag. The little head shook like a rattle, “It’s not pretty.”
She is really confused!
It’s obviously an ugly ‘little monster’, why do KK and Uncle Handsome like it?
“How can it be unattractive? It’s obviously very powerful!” Sea Gu tried hard to turn the little girl’s aesthetics around, “Look, it’s red! Don’t all little girls like red?”
“Nini doesn’t like it!” But the little girl didn’t buy his account at all, shaking her head obstinately.
Sea Gu still has work to do, “This stuff, but it’s fun …”
“It’s not funny, Nini played it!” The little girl wrinkled her eyebrows and categorically made a judgment, choking Sea Gu could not say half a word. How can anyone in this world not like Gundam? It was so incomprehensible.
Zoey smiled straight up.
Sea Gu was bummed out and looked at Zoey for help, but she couldn’t help but laugh, “You don’t really think that what boys like to play with, we girls must like, right?”
“But, Gundam is just plain fun! Isn’t it, KK?” Sea Gu sought out the League.
KK also gave a dignified straight nod and came to his side, “Yes, uncle is right.”
“It’s not funny! Isn’t it, Nini?”
“Yes, Zoey is right.”
Four people, immediately turned into two alliances with different positions.
In the end, it was Sea Gu who surrendered, “Well, actually, I don’t think it’s that funny either.”
KK’s eyebrows twitched and she looked at Sea Gu with disgust, “Uncle, you are very uncouth!”
“Uncle this is a good man not fighting with a woman. This is called a gentleman!” Sea Gu justified himself and put the red Gundam back again casually, looking with a distressed face at a certain little one who was still waiting for a gift in his arms.
What to do? This time to Japan, he did not bring anything at all, only these things they called ‘not fun’. I should have brought a SD doll back!
“It’s okay, Zoey brought Nini a present. But Nini still has to say thank you to her uncle, come on.” Zoey is finally intolerant and wants to relieve Sea Gu. Reaching out to take the little one into his arms to come.
“No! Nini wants her present.” Zoey’s face was helpless, Nini was not this difficult in the past.
“Uncle give Nini a kiss, consider it a gift!” Eventually, Nini said so.
Zoey and KK were speechless.
So that’s what this little guy was playing for.
Sea Gu’s face, which was distressed like a lot of cauliflower, immediately smiled with joy. This little girl is too good to satisfy! Holding her little face, he gave her a heavy “kiss” on her face.
The little one also giggled, beamed up tender little mouth, thin fingers across the air than. Sea Gu laughed more happily …
Oh my God! This little girl, more and more nymphomaniac!
Zoey’s eyes twitched and she rushed to take Nini into her arms.
Sea Gu laughed, “These two little guys are so much fun!”

On the way back, KK fiddled beautifully with the Gundam, and Nini chanted all the way to Uncle Handsome.
Owen Baker glanced at Zoey, “I thought you were on a business trip to Japan, why did you come back with Ingram?”
“Just happened to meet there, and it was quite a coincidence.” Zoey turned her face sideways, “Brother, do you know about Nabi yet?”
“Hmm. Have heard a little bit. Called today to ask about it, said he’ll be back in a few days.”
“Oh …” Jerry Xiao, who should be back with her.
“What’s wrong? Preoccupied look.” Owen Baker checked her demeanor as he drove.
“No.” Zoey shook her head gently. “Brother, I’m planning to quit recently.”
“Resignation?” Owen Baker looked deeply at Zoey, remembering the last time she also mentioned the resignation, was it because something went wrong between her and Jerry Xiao?
“If it’s not fun to do, you don’t have to do it.”
“Brother, why don’t I come back and help you, okay?” Zoey suddenly suggested.
She thought Owen Baker would be happy to say yes, but this time, he actually refused. “What will you do? Or go to an outside company to hone your skills and come back later when you have the chance.”
Now there’s a lot of chaos up and down the Baker family company, and once she’s in, she’ll hear the wind.
He, not wanting her to worry …
Zoey thought her brother’s reaction was a bit strange, but she thought that it was the same wherever she worked, so she could go to work at Sea Gu’s. There was nothing wrong with it. After thinking about this, she didn’t say anything more.
Zoey arrived at the office early the next morning, handed in her resignation letter to the HR department, and then continued to do the final closing work.
No one knew that she was going to resign, and naturally, they would not know what happened in Japan during this time.
Julie came over curiously, “Eh, a large group of people went over, how come you were the only one who came back first?”
“I’m still busy with things over there, so I might be late.” Zoey explained.
“Oh.” Julie nodded, and couldn’t help but gossip, “How was it? Did you have fun in Japan? Did you have a different kind of romance with the president abroad?”
Zoey froze for a moment, her eyes darkened slightly, and then pushed Julie, “Go go go, go do your thing.”
Julie saw that her face was not right, and did not continue to ask, only that something was wrong.

Two days later.
Zoey had just entered the office and everyone was sternly buried in their work. She sat back down and couldn’t help but ask Hammer with a tilted head, “What’s going on here?”
“The president came back yesterday, and I heard from the people who went to pick him up that the president was in a bad mood. We are not fighting to behave properly and not to provoke him?”
He, back?
Because of this realization, Zoey’s heart twitched. Did not say anything, just silently folded back. It seems that the separation procedure will be done today! In the future, their lives may never intersect again.
It is clear that the idea of no more interactions has long been decided, but, now that I think of this possibility, my heart still hurts like a cone.
Chest, as if missing a large piece, can not make up …
Zoey’s back stiffened as she warned herself time and again not to turn around, but she moved one step faster than she thought …
She turned her face away, and at a glance, she saw him …
Black shirt, navy blue pants, no tie, just unbuttoned two buttons on the chest, looks a little lazy, but looks more and more handsome and charming. A group of executives flanked by, slowly walking from the elevator entrance. Only the expressionless face looks flatly ahead.
It seems that her eyes were too abrupt, and he also looked towards her. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re looking for. The first thing you need to do is to look at Zoey.
The heart, little by little, sinks, and there is an indescribable sourness that rushes into the bottom of the heart. As if they were drowning in the water as hard, almost unable to breathe.
The hand trembled, Zoey grabbed a glass of water and held it tightly, soaking up the rare warmth. It seems that this is the only way not to sink to the bottom of the cold lake.
“Zoey , are you okay?” Hammer glanced worriedly at her pale face from the sidelines.
“It’s okay …” Zoey shook her head gently, held the glass of water and took a heavy sip. Let the hot liquid, flow into every part of the body.

When her emotions had stabilized, she looked at the closed president’s office again. She had to talk to him about leaving and, moreover, had to get out of here right away.
He just a cold look, it can make her hard to suffer for a long time …
After a moment’s thought, Zoey got up, but instead of heading immediately to the president’s office, she went into the pantry. She washed his special cup and made a cup of hot milk. This may be the last time in her life that she brews milk for him …
As a secretary, do one last thing for him.
Carrying the hot milk to the office door. He was, in fact, a little nervous. Took a deep breath before raising his hand and knocking on the door.
“Come in.” His voice, still without a trace of warmth.
Zoey unscrews the door and walks in with gentle steps. He didn’t even raise his head, just looked down at the papers in his hand. She didn’t say a word, but gently placed the steaming glass of milk in front of him.
His movement of turning over the file, suddenly stiffened. Only glanced coldly at the milk, but still did not look at her, “Something wrong?”
“Want to talk to you about leaving your job. Resignation letter, I have sent to the mailbox, now waiting for the president’s approval. And hopefully the new secretary …”
“These things go directly to Feng, no need to talk to me!” He was cold, interrupting her words. A very impatient look, as if he didn’t want to hear one more word from her. What’s more, he didn’t want to look at her again.
Zoey froze.
“I see.” Hanging his head, he turned, intending to go out.
The pace is stiff.
“Stop!” Jerry Xiao, however, stopped her coldly.
She stopped, but did not turn back. Only to hear Jerry Xiao’s icy voice slowly ring out, “Take this out and pour it! I don’t need it!”
He, coldly, pointed at the glass of milk.
Zoey’s heart tightened and she bit her lip to keep the tears from leaking out of her eyes. She barely raised a smile, turned around, held the milk in her hand, and walked out of the office, step by step, with her back straight.
The door, was brought.
Jerry Xiao still did not look up, only took the pen and buried his head to sign the document. But the pen was getting heavier and heavier, and the document was scratched by him. He finally let out a low curse, like venting his emotions, and threw the pen in his hand hard.
Carrying the milk out, Zoey leaned against the door late and didn’t move. The strength of the body, as if it had just been consumed, no longer had the strength to proudly straighten his back, as if there was no injury whatsoever.
The hot air from the milk, little by little dense over the eyes. I just feel that everything in front of me is getting blurred …
