Chapter 383 – Determined to leave

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

Today, the moment he rushed into the fire with such recklessness, another thought flashed through Zoey’s mind that made her feel horrified …
Could it be that one day he suddenly disappeared? Not into the fire, but into the dark abyss of the wall, never to return?
The thought of it made her heart ache, as if someone had lashed it down hard with a whip. She threw away the medicine and grabbed his hand that had landed on her cheek so firmly that her nails were almost embedded within his skin.
Jerry Xiao didn’t know that her heart was in such a hundred turns, and could only understand her trepidation. Helplessly looking at her growing tears, he lifted her lower jaw with one hand, going to wipe them away for her. But she suddenly raised her head, choked and moved closer to him.
Those eyes, glittering with a sheen that he couldn’t read. Breathing heavily, with the fresh scent of lemon just sprayed on his face. The pitiful look, but clearly carries a seduction that makes him suffocate.
He narrowed his eyes, but his heart sped up inexplicably. Was he the one who misunderstood her meaning? This stupid woman, didn’t she know that suddenly coming this close was simply enticing a man to kiss her? Especially at this moment, he could not withstand any of her teasing.
Really, really want to, really want to kiss her …
Yet, he was also afraid, so afraid, that she would wake up the next day and start avoiding him again …
It was sinking in, but there was a coldness on his lips.
====
I don’t know how long they had been kissing each other, the tide of love in the room began to blaze. On the bed, on the carpet, on the sofa, even together with the desk, there were traces of their love.
Tonight, embracing each other are like finding an oasis that belongs to each other, just like that tightly entwined, not to separate …
Zoey eventually fell asleep in a fit of exhaustion.
====

One night, peace and quiet.
Sunlight poured into the room and shone on his bare, sexy chest. The thin blanket covered the lower half of his body, but couldn’t hide the smooth, perfect lines. His eyelashes fluttered, but he didn’t want to wake up, only afraid that if he did, everything last night would be a dream.
Carefully, he probed his hand and felt his way to his side.
Touch, empty, cold temperature, his whole person stiffened, closed his eyes, long did not open. Around him, there is really no her presence, and … obviously, she has been away for a while …
If it wasn’t for the hungry mess of the room and those marks on the bed, he really would have to think that everything last night was a dream.
Unable to stay any longer, he lifted the covers and leapt out of bed.
“Zoey!” He called her name and quickly pulled the door open. But, there was no one to answer him.
“Zoey !!!” He aggravated, walking quickly towards his room.
All the way, heart, getting cooler and cooler and cooler …
The whole villa, as if no one existed.
“KK! Nini! are you there?” His voice, dripping with an unprecedented grayness.
“…” answered him, still only an echo of his own.
Footsteps, paused at the door of his room. His hand rested on the cold door handle, but he didn’t have the courage to push it open like this. If they were all gone and he was left alone, how would he face the coldness of the room?
Hands, tightened. Still gathered the courage to push open the door. Sure enough, what came to my nose was a room full of coldness. Children, also not in …
At the bottom of his heart, it cooled a circle. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, catching him off guard. Chilliness, from the bottom of the feet, straight into the heart. Hand, just like that frozen on the door handle, wooden, a little, a little slip …
On his lips, it seemed that his breath still remained. Because, last night they kissed each other so hard, so madly, as if they wanted to wrap each other into each other’s life just like that.
But …
Early in the morning, she left herself with such emptiness. How cruel and how desperate …
Taking out his cell phone, he dialed the familiar number. No surprise, but the response on the other end of the line was always a mechanical voice. A string of Arabic, he could not understand, but also enough to make him disappointed. The phone had only hung up when it suddenly rang, the ringtone unusually clear in the quiet atmosphere.
He was in a grand mood and was instantly energized. Fishing his cell phone over, he was disappointed to see the string of numbers.
Not her! Not the kid! But it was Fung’s call.
“President.”
“Uh-huh.” He answered flatly, unable to hide the loss in his tone.
“I’ll pick you up at the villa now. I heard from Jingles that Secretary Baker left early this morning.”
Jerry Xiao pressed, “Did she say where Zoey went?”
“All that was said was that he left all the rest of the work to Jing Si and Yankee and hurried back, and not much else.”
Really gone …
She was even willing to tell Jing Si, but not to mention it to him.
Walked so fast, such a hurry, clearly is again to avoid him. Last night, he was still full of joy to think that she would always stay in his arms like this, and never leave …
But I didn’t want her to leave so quickly, so decisively.
“Ask Quietus for Owen Baker’s number for me. I want it right away.” His voice grew deeper.
Ah Feng heard out, did not dare to ask more questions, hurriedly hung up the phone and went to find Jing Si. Jerry Xiao just sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the big bed where the children had slept, looking down at his own wounds …
