Jerry Xiao signed only one document, and when he went to the window again, he found that the figure was actually gone! For the sake of her family’s company, is she so impatient? Just a few drops of rain and she’s gone?
Inside, for a moment, he didn’t know if he was more lost or angry. He walked over to the table and pressed the intercom.
“President.” Feng’s voice came.
“Go downstairs and see if that woman is gone!” His tone was poor.
“Yes.” Afon didn’t dare to slack off and hurriedly hung up the phone to get up.
…
Zoey cringes and doesn’t walk away, just shrinks under the building’s awning.
For the sake of politeness, she had gone out today wearing only a sheath dress, and now that the cold wind was blowing in with the rain, goosebumps floated up all over her body.
Looking down at the clock, it was almost noon. I wondered if he’d be out at noon with a social engagement, or if he’d just have takeout delivered. Zoey hoped he’d be out so she could intercept him again.
As she was thinking, she looked up and saw Ah Feng coming out from the company building. She was pleasantly surprised and jogged over to him, thinking that it would be good to ask him to take a message for her, but Ah Feng also walked towards her.
“Secretary Baker, come on in, it’s pouring out there.”
Zoey looked at him with delight, “Can I go up and see him?”
“Uh-huh. Mr. Xiao always orders this.” Ah Feng smiled and nodded. Zoey hurriedly followed him inside, the security personnel outside the door naturally did not dare to stop them. Zoey followed behind and asked, “Why did he suddenly change his mind?”
“I don’t know what the president thinks about that.” Ah Feng glanced at her, “Perhaps if Secretary Baker holds out for a little while longer, Mr. Xiao will also be interested in the project you’re holding.” . “Hopefully it will.” Zoey followed him into the exclusive elevator and went straight up.
The LEDs blinked and jumped. One by one, the numbers jumped, and Zoey always looked up, her heartbeat jumping along with the numbers. Obviously, we hadn’t seen each other for a few days, but it was as if centuries had passed, and we were as nervous as if we were meeting each other for the first time. Zoey couldn’t even imagine what she would be facing when they met again in a while.
With a ‘ding–‘, the elevator doors opened. Zoey was startled, her thoughts pulled back precipitously as Fung stepped out first, before sidestepping slightly, “Secretary Baker, it’s here. ”
Subconsciously gripping the thick stack of information in her hand, she licked her dry lips and walked towards the president’s office in a familiar manner under Afon’s gesture.
The door was closed, and Zoeytook a deep breath before knocking gently.
After waiting a moment, that familiar voice, came from behind the door, “Come in.”
Two simple words, still calm, but hit Zoey’s heart one by one. The moment she pushed the door and lightly stepped in, her eyes were glued to the upright figure by the window.
Luckily, his back was to the door, so Zoey could look at him with impunity and defiance at the moment, etching the back in her mind.
In the office, it was stifled for a few minutes, and Zoey even wished he would have never turned around, so she could have looked at him all the time with such open arms.
Such an atmosphere she couldn’t bear to break …
Because, it’s a luxury for all of them at this point.
However, he turned around in the end. The pair of falcon-like sharp line of sight towards Zoey swept over, is bone-chilling cold, freezing Zoey whole person stayed there.
“I warned you not to appear in front of me again!” He took a step closer to her, his exit voice even colder and frostier than the look.
Zoey subconsciously took a step back and leaned against the door panel behind her. Looking up at him, she tried to stabilize her emotions and stated her purpose, “I … want to talk to you about working together.”
He braced one arm on the door panel, his upright body suddenly enveloping over, confining her entire body. That heavy feeling of oppression forced itself on her, making her a little breathless. However, she heard his mocking cold snort, ringing in her ears, “Zoey Baker, why do you think I want to cooperate with a company like yours that is going to go bankrupt at any time? By the fact that you lied and cheated me, or by the fact that you betrayed me by incest with your brother?”
His emotions never had the slightest rise or fall, and even when he spoke these words, his face was expressionless. It was as if all of this was already in the past for him. In just a few days’ time, he had already organized all of his anger and resentment, and all that was left was his disgust for her.
Zoey only felt a heart that sank to the bottom. She leaned against the door panel, looking up to meet his line of sight, ”Jerry, if, that night my brother and I …” ”were framed” a few words, have not yet had time to exit, has been He interrupted with an expressionless face, ”None of that has anything to do with me! If you are here to talk about personal matters, you can get lost now! There’s nothing to talk about between us.”
Under his eyes, there was nothing but ruthlessness. Sliding his arm down Zoey’s side, his large palm landed on the doorknob to pull the door open and shoo her out. Before he could move, the back of his hand was hastily covered by a small hand.
The moment they touched each other’s body heat, both of them shuddered and froze for a split second.
He, bent his head to look at her. The deep eyes were clouded with a thin mist, but it quickly dissipated, leaving thinness.
As if realizing something, Zoey quickly drew her hand back. Hooking the hair on her temples, she looked up, a professional smile on her face, “Mr. Xiao, I would like to talk to you about the AE03 project that our Baker family is going to start in the second half of the year, which is a recently emerging industry – the homes for the elderly. Our country is now aging more and more seriously …”
“I’m not interested in that!” Jerry Xiao interrupted her with an expressionless face. Jerry Xiao interrupted with an expressionless face, and Zoey choked on the rest of her words.
For a long moment, her lips moved, only to ask a mumbled, “So what are you interested in?”
“What can you offer me if I inject money into your Baker family?”
“I guarantee that the project will be profitable within five years of completion, stock …”
“I don’t mean the company!” Once again, he had no patience for her words.
Zoey froze for a split second. Looking at him with some confusion, “I don’t know what you mean.”
He sneered, “Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending?”
Zoey didn’t say anything, just stared blankly as his whole body closed in again. This time, he didn’t just brace his arm on her side, but his entire body pressed in, his chest pressed right against hers. His hot breath sprayed over her face. She was so shocked that she turned her face away, not daring to meet those mocking and icy eyes.
“I can give you enough or more.” Jerry Xiao clasped her waist with one hand and cupped her lower jaw to break her small face over, forcing her eyes to meet his. He spoke cruelly, “Sell you to me, be my lover, or-”
He paused for a moment and the words came out worse, “Be the one I vent to!”
Zoey had already prepared herself that this might be the request, but when the words actually came out of his mouth, she gasped in shock and froze on the door panel, her face ashen.
In his chest, it was like a slit had been torn open and blood was pouring out.
Did he, did he have to trample on her like this, stomp her heart to pieces?
“What? Can’t do it?” Jerry Xiao grunted and laughed as he stood up straight, his expression turning cold in an instant, “If you can’t do it, you get out of here right now!”
Eyelashes, trembling. Tears are on the roots of her lashes, but Zoey is holding them back. Taking a deep breath, without saying anything, she put her hand on the door handle and opened the door to go out. However, the door was only opened a crack, but in the next second, only heard a loud ‘pop’, the door was closed again by his palm.
There was a loud noise that made Zoey jump. Before she could turn around, her hand on the door panel was yanked abruptly and her entire body was roughly wrenched over.
Her heart skipped a beat when she met a pair of complex, deep eyes, and all her breath was immediately snatched away. His thin lips, cool to the point of being devoid of warmth, covered hers from top to bottom, icy enough to make Zoey shiver deeply.
As if expecting her to resist, Jerry Xiao was the first to take her by the hand, clasping both of her arms behind her back, and with a sharp gasp, Zoey was pinned to the door panel, kissing and biting her fiercely, his free palm moving in and out of her body, kneading her even more viciously.
Through the thin material of her clothes, he mercilessly created wave after wave of pleasure on her body. Zoey from the initial struggle and resistance, to gradually sinking helplessly. Her brimming eyes were wet, clearly writing an accusation against his bad behavior.
Until the kiss made her dizzy, her strength drained from her body by his ferociousness, but he cruelly pushed her away with one hand. She was confused for a split second, and her slack hand hastily held onto the doorknob to keep from collapsing.
Dense watery eyes, raised. At first fell into the bottom of those eyes that were so cold that they were devoid of any emotion.
“Zoey Baker, you want me too!” The words came out of his mouth but they were completely devoid of any hint of warmth, as if the kiss he’d just given her was just a tease, “It seems Owen Baker can’t get enough of you at all, so you can totally think about what I’ve just proposed!”
Heart, tightening, like a hand reaching out to knead her heart heavily. Zoey gasped heavily at his words, stabbing her once again.
If he was trying to humiliate himself, then, at this moment, he really did it. She, has been stepped on the bottom of his feet, humble as dust …
The heart, moreover, was pinched into pieces by his own hand, one by one, and broken …
“Thank you for Mr. Xiao’s ‘good intentions’ …” she took a deep breath before finding her voice with difficulty, “Since Mr. Xiao is not interested in this cooperation project interest, then I will leave first. See you next … time!”
It was hard, very hard, not to let the tears come to my eyes. Trying very, very hard to squeeze out a smile that was worse than a cry. She tried her best to walk in style.
Pull the door open, turn, step out.
He, did not pull her back again.
Instead, the heavy door, was thrown heavily shut.
Ruthless, cruel …
A door that also separates two hearts that can’t get any closer …
Zoey took a step out and lowered her head, her eyes were watery, but the tears could no longer be collected … It turned out that, in his eyes, she was already so low that she could sell her body. Perhaps, even worse!
…
Inside the door, Jerry Xiao tried his best to keep himself calm. But this calmness only lasted for two seconds, only to hear ‘crackling’ a wild sound, the documents on the table were all whisked off to the ground by his grumpy.
Damn it!
Zoey Baker!
She could still easily break his heart, as much as she could!
…
From early in the morning, when they left full of joy, to now, when they return frustrated, Yami Hu and Sam Baker know about the outcome of today’s negotiations.
“Zoey , don’t fret. If you can’t eat, drink more soup too.” Yami Hu had someone ladle a bowl of mushroom soup and set it down in front of her, “Here, drink it all, you’ve lost a lot of weight lately.”
