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

The next moment, the lips and teeth released her lips, and she gasped sharply, only to have him take her red lips again in one fell swoop, sucking eagerly. The arrogant breath forced Zoey to gasp for air. The wine has mostly sobered up, aware of his venting and punishment, and more and more aggression keeps coming out of her heart.
Who was he to take out those bad feelings on her? And who is he to punish himself?
She pushed him in a negative way, but he seemed to have the energy to bully her to the end.
====
Zoey breathed heavily, tears leaking from her eyes as she stared at him in aggravation, “I’m not the one you’re venting to! Please, if you don’t like me, please don’t mess with me again …”
Every time, his little gesture can make her misunderstand. It would make her think that he might have had his heart set on her. But, each time, he always had a way to push her into the abyss and break a heart to pieces …
She, not want to be so stupid again …
Her heart-rending words made Jerry Xiao sink his eyes and was stunned for a while.
If you don’t love, don’t mess with it! She’s right!
But why did he have to drive so far as if he was possessed, to come here? He also does not know what to do here, what can do, but it seems that there is something here is pulling him, attracting him!
Is …
This is what she calls like?! Herself … likes her?
Because of this realization, Jerry Xiao’s body and mind trembled. He wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at her with a complex, tangled, deadly gaze.
And then …
A step back, a trace of indifference surfaced between the gods. He, how could he like her?
The change of emotion was so clear, so clear that Zoey understood it at a glance. Her chest ached, and she pressed her powerless body against the wall, her hand braced against the cold wall, her fingertips pale.
This man … really … never liked her …
The door, was pulled open from the inside.
“Zoey, are you okay?” Zoey was stunned and hurried to clean the tears from the corners of her eyes without moving.
Only then did Julie see Jerry Xiao, who was frozen in place, and was stunned for a moment before greeting him, “President.”
Jerry Xiao shook his head and immediately collected the emotions he had just felt, corrected his color, and only nodded slightly.
“The colleagues are here, would the president like to go in and have a seat?” Julie asked while holding Zoey. I can clearly feel that after she asked this question, Zoey’s fingers heavily gripped her.
What, exactly, is going on?
Why does she look like she is in a big shock and the president also looks like he is in a trance? And … look at their lips to each other, just seemed to have a fierce game …
“No, you guys play your game.” Jerry Xiao faintly refused, and then, excusing himself, “I’ll go first.”
Without another glance at Zoey , she didn’t look at him again either.
Each other, just like that, little by little, little by little, disappearing from each other’s sight … without leaving a half trace …
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Zoey nods and shakes her head, “Everyone’s still gone …”
This is for her to trample, and it would not be right for her to go first.
“You’re so drunk, and you’re still thinking about others. Don’t worry, everyone is almost done playing and will go home later. Come on, let’s go back first.” Julie walked out of the KTV with her. When she went to the roadside to stop the car, a familiar car, drove past them without a hint of stopping.
The car window, open. But that face, but not even biased. Only left, cold as ice side of the face …
“It’s the president.” Julie said.
Zoey knew and only gave a soft ‘mmm’.
Julie stopped the car while saying, “He’s so strange, he called our colleague earlier specifically to ask for the address before he came over. Now that he’s here, he’s not going in again.”
“Hmm?” Zoey glanced sideways, “He’s not here to socialize?”
“Entertaining? Since you have been the president’s secretary for so long, when have you ever seen the president entertain at KTV? Besides, the president doesn’t have a work schedule tonight.”
“Oh.” Zoey nodded her head. If it wasn’t a social occasion, why did he lie to himself again? And … why would he suddenly come here? Earlier, wasn’t it a clear refusal to come?
“Eh, you say, the president wouldn’t have come here specifically to look for you. So, he just met with you, so he didn’t go in either and left?”
Zoey laughs bitterly and shakes her head, “No way. Don’t overthink it. …”
Don’t overthink it …
It was both a statement to Julie and a clear warning to herself.
Don’t think too much about … this man, never moved to you, and never loved you, and even more will not run here in order to see you …
Julie dropped Zoey off at home.
The two children and the elders were asleep. Only Owen Baker was left sitting alone in the hall, and when he heard a movement at the door he got up and went over.
At the sight of a drunken Zoey, he wrinkled his brow, “What’s wrong with you?”
Hearing Owen’s voice, Zoey’s heartfelt grievances came out all at once. She sniffled pitifully and hugged Owen Baker, “Brother, I’m drunk …”
Rarely have I seen my sister like this, and Owen Baker was heartbroken and helpless. “It’s good to still know you’re drunk. Come in first, it’s cold outside.”
He brought her into the door half-dragged, half-carried, by hand took the blanket on the sofa to cover her. He touched her hand, which was cold through and through.
Turning around, he went to pour a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, scolding her with some pain, “What’s wrong? I haven’t seen you drink so much before.”
Owen Baker was so shocked that he held her hand down, “It’s hot, don’t do that! I’m so scared of you, I’m holding it for you to warm your hands.”
“Oh …,” Zoey nodded confusedly and stopped drinking. Pressing his little face into his brother’s shoulder, “Brother, I won’t be doing it at MY tomorrow.”
“Is that what you’re drinking for?” Owen Baker sunk his eyes into her somewhat sad little face.
She closed her eyes and shook her head, “My colleagues gave me a practice … so, a few more drinks …”
Ruffling her hair on her forehead, he asked, “Why are you drinking so carelessly?”
Zoey has always been a good girl, she has always been good at everything, when did she ever get herself into such a state? There must be something on her mind. And …
These also have something to do with Jerry Xiao …
Owen Baker is not unaware, just, not willing to ask more. Not willing, to cruelly evoke her wound. But, if she wants to talk, he will listen.
“Brother, do you ever truly like someone in your heart …” she, suddenly asked quietly. Still did not open his eyes, so, naturally, will not find Owen Baker that slightly shaken look … half a long time, did not hear a voice, she knitted fine eyebrows, urged a: “brother? How come you don’t answer me?”
Her impatience made him lose his smile.
Only in front of him, she is a little girl, can be capricious, can make a temper. In his heart, a surge of relief, he pursed his lips, “Of course I liked it.”
And, always like … as for the future, he does not know … but he knows, he will definitely give his best, protect her well …
“Who’s the favorite? Do I know?”
He hung his head, gazed deeply into her small face, and said softly, “… don’t know.”
“Oh …” her tone, seemed a little regretful. It was quiet for a moment before she asked softly, “Brother … have you ever been hurt by her?”
“No.” The girl he loved, was kind, very kind. So kind that she couldn’t bear to hurt anyone …
“That’s good.” She giggled and ate a smile, and then the smile converged again, and a tear welled up in the corner of her eye, “Brother, if … you were hurt by her, would you still go for her? If … loved him hopelessly and loved him so much that it hurt, would you still go for it?”
Owen Baker tightly pursed his lips, painfully looking at her hurt look, heart, a moment of mixed flavors, what flavor.
For a long time, he only opened his mouth, his voice was a hard, “If, between her and me, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will do my best to fight. Even if, being wounded to the bone …”
It’s just a pity that …
Between them, they are cruel to the point of not even a glimmer of hope.
She wrinkled up her eyebrows, and then relaxed. And then, choking on a sigh, “Brother, you are so brave. But … I don’t have the courage …”
She is like turning into a dead end, can’t get out, but not willing to just quit … so confused …
Owen Baker laughed bitterly, grabbed her hand encouragingly and sighed softly, “It’s going to be okay …”
She did not speak again, just leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep nervously.
Owen Baker carefully jerks the tablet out of her hand, but is reluctant to just let go of her hand.
I forgot who said, if we love each other, then hand in hand to old age; if we miss, then protect her well …
They, in this life, are destined to miss only.
Early in the morning, Zoey woke up with pain. Holding down his brow, he just felt extraordinarily dizzy.
Have forgotten how I got to the room and to the bed last night. It was so bad that I didn’t even change out of the clothes I was wearing.
Chagrined, he pounded his head and reluctantly got up to change his home clothes and wash up again.
By the time I walked downstairs, it was after 9:00 am.
“Mom.” She greeted Yami Hu in the hall.
Yami Hu let out an ‘eh’, “Why are you up? Your brother also said you drank a lot last night and told us all to keep you quiet to come.”
“I can’t sleep.” I’m used to getting up very early every morning to go to work, and now that I’ve suddenly stopped, I feel very uncomfortable.
“None of them are there?”
