Chapter 289 – Really drunk

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

Zoey arrived at the assistant’s office. When Feng saw her, he got up in a hurry. In his heart, he already guessed what she was about.
“Already picked out a new secretary?” Zoey asks, sitting down.
Feng did not hide, only said, “The first thing the president ordered to do when he came back, is this.”
“Oh …,” Zoey laughed bitterly. It turned out that not only was she eager to leave, but he simply hated the fact that he couldn’t just disappear right away.
“A newly selected secretary will be here this afternoon. By then Secretary Baker will have handed over the job properly and there will be no problem.” Feng looked at Zoey , before saying, “Secretary Baker, don’t you want to reconsider?”
Zoey pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and shook her head, “No need.”
“Actually, since Secretary Baker left early, the president has not been in a good mood for the past two days.”
Zoey didn’t think much of it and just said, “Maybe it’s because of what happened to Nabi and it got him hung up.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. Their feelings for each other are so obvious that even he, an outsider, can see it clearly, how come they can’t see it. Moreover, they have to torture each other.
“So Secretary Baker is planning to go back to work for the Baker family?”
Zoey shook her head lightly, “I want to rest for a while, and after that I may go to Gu.”
“Oh.” Gu? Feng couldn’t help but remember the image of Zoey leaving the hotel with Ingram that day. No wonder the president’s mood became so bad all of a sudden.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out and do something.” Zoey got up.
Feng responded with a nod and sent Zoey out of the office.

In the afternoon, a new secretary came to report. A skilled and capable woman, Zoey carefully explained her work.
A whole floor only now know Zoey to leave the matter, we have asked for a long time, also advised for a long time, but Zoey has been determined to leave, although it is regrettable, but no one can do anything.
“If the president wants coffee …” Zoey finally explained the new secretary, before the words were finished, Hammer had already taken over, “just help the president change to milk.”
“Zoey, you’ve said this more than 10 times today, your ears are getting calloused.” Julie looked over. Julie also looked over and Zoey explained not only to the new secretary, but also to all their secretaries and secretarial assistants, so they all remembered it clearly.
“If it’s all clear, why do you still send coffee every time?”
“What can we do? The president’s taste is picking it up! As soon as you drink the milk, you know it’s not what you brewed, simply do not drink.”
Is that right?
Zoey couldn’t help but look back at the closed president’s office, her eyes darkened.
“Zoey , since you are so uneasy about the president, why don’t you stay on? I see that the president also likes you quite a lot.” The words of her colleague interrupted her thoughts.
She froze for a moment, drew back her eyes and smiled bitterly. Where is the love? Now it’s just disgusted with her! Do not even want to look at it!
“I’m not unsure, I’m just doing my last duty.” She explained softly.
Julie’s face is sad, “last time you want to go, did not go, I cola and half a day. Now there is no half-hearted preparation, you instead want to leave, but really can not miss.”
“It’s not like we can’t see each other later.”
“How about this, anyway, you can’t stay, we’ll give you a farewell banquet tonight. What do you all think?” Julie’s proposal instantly drew enthusiastic participation from everyone.
One by one, they all enthusiastically came up with ideas and finally chose to go to KTV to sing.
Zoey also wants to get together with her colleagues, so naturally she readily agrees to such an offer. The group was discussing lively when the door of the president’s office was suddenly pulled open and Jerry Xiao came out from inside with deep steps.
She froze and subconsciously turned her face away from him.
But I heard a colleague warmly invite, “President, Zoey is leaving, we want to hold a farewell party tonight, if you are free, why don’t you come with us?”
Zoey, however, held her breath slightly.
“No need.” As expected, such an offer was rejected by him without hesitation. The coldness in that voice was even as distinct as ever, “You guys just play.”
I had guessed that the answer would be like this, but, Zoey heart still can not help but swing a circle, a circle of loss …
The sound of his footsteps, the more gradually lighter, until no longer heard, Zoey now slowly raised his head. Turning back, staring in awe at his vanishing back …
Eyes, reddened …
In the evening, a group of people came out of work from the company, Zoey followed the group towards the ktv, everyone was laughing and joking all the way, and her mood was a little better.
However, Zoey’s heart is still filled with regret at the thought of parting from the group at work.
When they arrived at KTV, a group of people packed a box and bought some snacks to go in. Soon there will be male colleagues holding several cases of beer pushed in the door.
“Ha. Looks like this is the last time all to dunk Zoey , isn’t it?” A female colleague yelled as soon as she saw the scene.
“No. If we don’t pour, where will we have the chance to drink next time?”
“The first time I’ve ever had a drink with Zoey. Zoey knew she was a poor drinker, but she wouldn’t spoil the fun for everyone, so she just nodded and said she’d be happy to go to the end.
Throughout the night, Zoey had no idea how much she’d had to drink.
When colleagues came over with glasses of wine, she did not hesitate to tilt her head and drink.
She thought that the drinks she had had in her life would not add up to more than the amount she had today. She sat on the sofa in a daze, but her mind unconsciously recalled the time she blocked the drinks for him …
Only a short time has passed, but it feels like half a century has passed …
“Zoey , come sing a song!”
Julie and Hammer arch her up. She was already drunk, her face flushed and her eyes dazed. Hearing the group arching her, she also stood up and sidled up to order a song.
A familiar melody plays.
Her soft voice sings a melancholy melody …

You had lived in my heart, now empty a place, the original love so hurt, more difficult than imagined, tears are always disobedient, happiness hiding silent, too much truth is too far-fetched, the truth is all the same, said when very simple.
After falling in love, but a lot of chaos, just want to become strong, strong enough to forget, it does not matter sad, as long as you learn to resist, the original love so hurt, the original love is such, such a peak, tears obviously not dry blind eyes to love again, one day finally finished fighting, miss a war, look back and look again, the original love so hurt, the next time will not be so… …
Zoey stared at the blurred words on the screen, trembling her lips and singing each heartbreaking lyric. Tears slipped quietly from her eyes, but she didn’t know it.
Who knows that love is too hurt, but can not be drawn away?
By the end of the song, Zoey’s eyes were already blurred with tears. She couldn’t hold on any longer, so she put down the microphone and just told her colleagues that she had to go to the bathroom, then she covered her lips and fled.
Push open the door of the box, breathing in not so much dirty air. The body, as if all the smell of alcohol, smoked her uncomfortable straight want to drop tears. The body is soft, can not find a trace of strength, can only helplessly lean on the wall, squatting down.
The hard wall behind you is cold and piercing.
She cringed and shed a tear in her hand.
Looking up again, a familiar upright figure was embedded in the bottom of her eyes. Her whole person froze, and the next instant …
Giggling to himself, he slapped his forehead in ecstasy.
“Really drunk!” Otherwise, how can I see Jerry Xiao? Heh … imagined that he, too, was still as cold as ever, so cold that she couldn’t help but shiver …
She lowered her eyes.
“To leave, and still bring my hand people here to drink drunk, you really can toss!” A cold voice, slowly sounded, with obvious mockery.
Zoey was stunned.
The voice, right in her ears, was so real that she couldn’t believe it. The eyes of the jaw, raised a small drunken face, fascinated to look at him.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
This woman, so much to drink, and still squatting here! And a look of aggrieved, waiting for someone to love and cherish, so pitiful is simply to attract the attention of men!
He doesn’t want to care about her!
She has plenty of men to manage, whether it’s Sea Gu, Lucas Wang, or Owen Baker! She has a great relationship with each of them, doesn’t she? Why does she have to worry about this nonsense here?
However, he still went off the deep end and reached out to pull her.
His hand, just about to touch her, Zoey almost subconsciously shrank and turned sideways, avoiding his touch.
The first thing that happened was that Jerry Xiao’s face went black. Zoey didn’t know what he wanted to do, but she was afraid he would come back to tease her. She looked at him in confusion as her voice choked up, “What are you doing here?”
He, she knew, was not her fantasy …
Her question caused Jerry Xiao to freeze for a moment, a trace of unnaturalness crossing his face, and then, averting his eyes, “There is a social gathering here.”
What a laugh!
The reason for this is too much of a stretch. In fact, he just damn well drove the car home, looked at the big empty house, the heart suddenly uncomfortable, on the ghost of the phone to ask their address, and then the ghost of the here.
“Oh …” But, there is a stupid woman who still believes it.
She lightly responded and nodded, there seemed to be some lost look in that tone, and it seemed not. She barely held the wall and stood up, looking at him in a confused way, “Then Mr. Xiao go ahead and get busy, I’ll go in first. Bye …”
She murmured softly, and then without waiting for him to say anything, she turned around and really wanted to push the door open and go in.
Looking at that back, Jerry Xiao’s heart suddenly felt stuffy and unbearable, just wanting to find a gap to vent his heart’s unbearable emotions at the moment. He cursed in annoyance, and tugged his hand roughly over her elbow.
Zoey, unprepared, was tugged by him, and her whole body immediately turned around.
His strength was so strong that it was as if he was going to crush her elbow. Before he had time to shake himself off, he only saw the pair of deep night-like eyes suddenly tighten, crossing a dangerous dark light.
Immediately after …
He suddenly bent his head, his lips and teeth opened, and bit her lips hard, quite a vent.
The force was heavy, almost rough. Zoey whimpered in pain, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes. Annoyed, she pushed him, but he didn’t budge.
