In her heart, she felt satisfied for a moment. She sat in the cab with her lunchbox and had it delivered to the office floor as quickly as possible. After all, she doesn’t belong here anymore, so it’s not appropriate to go in like this, so Zoey hesitated and called Feng to come down and get it.
Afong felt more surprised, but did not ask more questions, and soon came downstairs to get upstairs.
Zoey did not want to leave immediately, but stood on the floor of the company, squinting at the glass curtain wall under the refraction of light. On the top floor, behind that shining glass curtain wall, was that figure standing there that she was obsessed with?
Could it be that, possibly, he could faintly see her figure with one look down?
She laughed. The 18th floor is so high, and downstairs is a busy traffic, people are crowded with people, how can he see himself clearly?
Jerry Xiao pressed his brow and raised his hand to look at the time again. It was already after 1:00, did that stupid woman at home drink all the medicine or not? Has she eaten lunch? He said he would bring him lunch, but he didn’t know if he did or not.
It’s tempting to make a phone call and ask.
Just as he picked up his cell phone, before he could dial the number, there was a knock on the office door.
Feng came in with something in his hand, “President.”
“Where did you order take-out?” He could already smell the aroma.
“It was just sent over by Baker’s secretary.” Feng put the bento on the desk. No wonder the president said he didn’t need to order take-out for him, it was after 1:00 and he still wasn’t eating, so he knew that Baker’s secretary would come over.
“Zoey Baker? She came by?” As soon as Jerry Xiao wrinkled his brow, he dialed the number in his hand. This woman, she came and left without saying a word!
“Probably still downstairs at this moment! Just got here not long ago.”
His eyes tightened, and he took a few steps to the glass wall, hanging his head down to look.
Downstairs, the traffic, the city is busy, pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, but the strange thing is … he is a glance to recognize the crowd, the slender figure to …
Jerry Xiao couldn’t see clearly where her eyes were focused, so naturally he didn’t know that she was also looking at the first floor.
And then …
He saw her lower her head and rummage through the bag she was carrying.
On this side of the phone, her soft and gentle voice could be heard.
“You come up here!” His words were brief and concise.
Zoey was stunned for a moment, “It’s not very convenient for me to go up …”
“Come up!” Jerry Xiao insisted, interrupting her. Jerry Xiao insisted, interrupting her. zoey thought for a moment, but answered anyway, and heard him continue to explain, “Come up directly from the special elevator.”
“Oh.” After collecting the phone, Zoey went into the office.
Zoey went straight up from the special elevator to the top floor, and when everyone was gone, Zoey went straight to the president’s office.
When he went over, the door happened to be open and he was standing by the curtain wall. Seeming to know she was coming up, he turned around and saw her at a glance.
“Come in.” He instructed her …
Zoey then went inside, and the two men looked at each other and darted apart.
“Why haven’t you eaten yet? It’s already past one o’clock.” Zoey looked at the untouched lunchbox on the table, and then looked at the familiar surroundings around her. When she left yesterday, she thought she would never set foot in this place again in her life, but she didn’t expect to be back here again just the next day.
“You’ve eaten?” Jerry Xiao sat down in front of the couch and opened the bento, the wonderful color of which made him raise his eyebrows in amazement.
It seems that her cooking skills have not been fully revealed at the last dinner.
“Hmm.” Zoey sat down on one side of him and looked at him sideways, “Let me up, what’s up?”
He raised an eyebrow. Can’t she come up if there’s nothing wrong?
In fact, he didn’t know why he insisted she come up, obviously, it was just a bento delivery, and since he already had it, it shouldn’t matter much if she came or not.
“Did you drink the medicine?” Jerry Xiao asked, picking the chopsticks apart. Tasted it, and sure enough, it tasted beautiful … let him miss the taste …
Appetite, all of a sudden, is wide open.
Zoey nodded her head, gave him a complicated look and nodded lightly before saying, “Today, I met Mu Bai.”
He didn’t think much of it and just asked, “How did you meet him?”
“He said you had a prescription left in his car, so he brought it home for you.” Zoey looked at him tentatively.
“A prescription?” Jerry Xiao’s hand was picking at his food. Damn it! He had forgotten to take it!
“I’ve put it away for you.” Zoey spoke softly, “Jerry …”
Feeling that something was wrong with her, he simply put down his chopsticks and turned his eyes sideways, meeting her eyes exactly. “What do you want to say?”
“That prescription, was it left by your mother?” Her tone, clearly disbelieving.
“Sure. What else?”
“But Mubai said that he was the one who took you to the prescription.” Zoey pokes him.
He froze and cursed Zac White for pulling his leg, before nodding his head, “Yes. I asked him to accompany me to the prescription of Chinese medicine, I heard that the medicine is not bad.”
The doctor said that a course of treatment is six pairs, just one pair a day to finish eating, the body will be much better. The remaining five pairs, you will come to my place every day to drink.”
Sure enough …
Mubai, did not lie to her.
Zoey’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. What, exactly, was he thinking?
Her clear eyes flickered down and looked fixedly at him before she said, “Actually, you don’t have to be like this.”
“Unnecessary which?” He frowned.
“I just have a little abdominal pain, and besides, you didn’t force me to take that pill …” she paused for a moment, her long eyelashes flapping, some complicated emotions tangled in the bottom of her eyes, “so if you really straight feel that you owe me The actual fact is that you can’t be so concerned about my pain.”
If, he was only so to himself because of the trace of guilt in his heart, she … would rather they keep a safe distance …
Jerry Xiao’s face gets harder and harder, so she thinks it’s redundant for him to do so much?
“Who the hell cares about your pain?” He raised an eyebrow at her, some coldness and impatience in his eyes.
Zoey Rather stunned, in fact, the reason for saying this paragraph, but is waiting for him to refute him not only for that trace of guilt, perhaps, but also with a trace of care …
However, it was the latter sentence that he retorted …
The loss of emotion has been spreading from the bottom of the eyes to the heart. She suddenly felt that she was in a very bad way in front of him, every time just one of his subtle, or perhaps even his inadvertent things, can make her mistakenly think this, wrongly guessed that, tossing and turning, and worried about!
Pursing her lips, she stood up and her attitude became a bit distant, “If I would be wrong, then I am the one who interrupted. Sorry, I still have some things to do, I’ll leave first!”
Without waiting for Jerry Xiao to say anything, she started to walk away. Looking at the back that she left behind, Jerry Xiao became annoyed and raised his voice to order, “Zoey Baker, stop!”
Zoey where Ken.
Jerry Xiao didn’t even think much about it, he suddenly got up and went after her.
Small hands, is placed on the door handle, but Jerry Xiao’s figure has pounced, hands on her shoulders, and in one fell swoop, her entire body turned over.
Zoey, startled, was pinned down by his entire body against the door panel, her back against the door.
He looked at her with heavy sunken eyes, and she looked straight at her without fear, her chest rising and falling because of her sharp panting.
His eyes were deep and locked on her in a sullen way, “Who gave you permission to leave?”
Zoey went to push him. But her strength was no match for his. He didn’t move, but instead pushed her closer.
“You let go!” Zoey continued to struggle, his eyes deepened and he leaned down and kissed her still somewhat pale lips.
Only when he touched it, he gasped heavily.
This smell …
This breath …
He had long wanted a good taste of it again. Today in the car, carrying her upstairs, he almost lost control and kissed her properly …
Now, it’s just a matter of going along with your earlier thoughts …
A coolness on the lips, his breath rushed over, Zoey’s heart trembled, but a sourness came up frequently.
She is totally confused with him!!!
He obviously doesn’t love her, he doesn’t like her, he’s going to marry Nabi soon, so what’s the point of kissing himself like that now? And why did he go to such lengths to buy her medicine?
In his mind, he crossed one question after another.
Zoey only felt her lips and teeth being pried apart by his forcefulness, his lips and tongue rushing in, rampant and impatient like a brat. Zoey didn’t know where the strength came from and pushed his whole body away in one fell swoop.
When she broke away, Jerry Xiao took a step back and let her go. But those eyes were heavy, with a dark light, always looking at her, as if they wanted to swallow her up.
Zoey gasped heavily, her fingers trembling as they landed gently on her own lips. She looked at him, “Don’t ever do this to me again … stop kissing me and being nice to me! You’ll only make me foolishly believe, again, that you really like me.”
Her words caused Jerry Xiao to shake suddenly.
Like her?
“Since you have decided to marry Nabi, please keep a certain distance from me …” Her words choked up and she took a deep breath and spoke as if she had made up her mind, “You know very well that I like you, since I was a child I’ve always liked you, so … please, don’t do these things that will make me misunderstand …”
She was afraid that she herself would not be able to resist the temptation and sink to the point of no return.
Zoey almost yelled out in hurt, while Jerry Xiao was stunned on the spot because of her words.
Just … what did this woman say? If, one heard correctly, she seemed to be confessing. She said that she likes herself, and, for many years?
The bottom of the heart, previously held a gas, this instant, seems to have been swept away. In its place, a clear and bright.
When he couldn’t answer, Zoey’s heart sank again and again, pulling open the door and turning around to leave. The door was only pulled open a crack, the next second it was held against a strong arm, and then, with a ‘pop–‘ sound, was heavily closed.
Zoey was startled and was about to turn around when the sturdy chest was already pressed closely against her back. The burning breath, falling right between her neck, made her heart beat faster, subconsciously gripping the door handle, pursed her lips, and her tone was a little helpless, “Mr. Xiao, what exactly do you want?”
He didn’t reply, but his face tilted and he opened his lips to bite her white earlobe.
“Well …” she gasped, a tingle ran quickly through her body from her ears, she almost went limp, but fortunately her waist was already in his dominant grip.
“Jerry … don’t do this …” They were so close, so close that she couldn’t even breathe. Each other’s bodies, ironed tightly, burned her mouth dry like fire.
