The reason why the Sifang Group was screwed so badly, he Joey Xu in the head is at most a person who pushes the boat, and the real want to put old man Lin to death is the government people. Their favors, not good to owe.
“Do as I say, I have a point.”
That night, Sammy Jones slept uneasily and kept having recurring nightmares that something had happened to Le Mei.
With a low cry of “Ah-“, she sat up violently from the bed, her back covered in cold sweat. Outside the window, the sky was already bright.
Turns out it was just a dream …
She breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously lifted the covers to get up, but then her waist tightened, and the hot heat of her back pressed up against her back, and her nakedness snapped her out of it – she wasn’t at home now, she was in Joey Xu’s bed!
And …
Last night …
She sold herself to Joey Xu!
Carefully, he turned to face him. He was still asleep, his eyes closed and his lashes slightly drooping, haloing a faint shadow under his eyes. The man was truly handsome in the extreme. His features were impeccably perfect, and the faint stubble that grew on his lower jaw emphasized his masculinity. His body was only draped in a thin quilt, which covered him from the bottom to the position of his narrow hips, and his sexy mermaid line was hidden.
His lips, thin and sensual.
They say, thin-lipped men are ruthless …
That’s about right.
As if possessed, her fingers almost touched his lips, but she suddenly remembered the words he said yesterday: -We are only in a trading relationship, it will never turn into a dating relationship!
With a scowl, Sammy Jones’ fingers drew back. Lashes fluttered, collecting the excess darkness from her eyes as she lifted the covers and moved his hand resting on her waist.
The clothes that Sister An took to him last night were thrown all over the floor by him in an ambiguous picture. She barely managed to get her spirits up, fished it out and hurriedly put it on, and tied her hair high to make herself look a little bit more refreshed. Looking back at Joey Xu who was still lying asleep on the bed, she then walked out of the room.
Feet are still a bit weak. Spirit is not good. My body is like cotton, I can’t make any effort.
“Miss Jones, up?” She had only just stepped out of her room when Ann greeted her from downstairs.
Smiles all around.
In fact, An’s smile doesn’t necessarily mean anything else, but, Sammy Jones just felt quite embarrassed. A night did not leave, early in the morning from Joey Xu room out, not to mention their own now still a ‘overindulgence’ tired look, say last night,….
Last night she was really pissed off and scolded Joey Xu quite loudly, and I still don’t know if Sister Ann heard it all.
“Morning.” She greeted with mock relief as she made her way downstairs.
Sister An laughed a little, “It’s not early, it’s already noon. You go and wash up, you’ll be able to eat lunch in a while.”
“It’s noon?”
“No.”
Sammy Jones was in a bit of a mess. Thinking about that threatening phone call yesterday, this time Joey Xu was still asleep again.
“Sister Ann, did you see my bag last night?”
“Yes there is, gave dropped it outside last night, I packed it in.” Sister Ann handed her bag over from the couch, “Take a look, there’s nothing missing.”
Sammy Jones where there is still the mood to see less or not missing things? Sammy Jones quickly turned out his cell phone, and when he opened it, it showed several missed calls. Sammy Jones’ heart sank.
There are Le Mei’s, Xiao Mei’s and Wang Yang’s …
It can’t be that something has happened already, can it?
Sister Ann said, “Your cell phone was on your mind early this morning, and I didn’t dare listen.”
Sammy Jones heart messed up, did not reply, only shaking hands and hurried to Le Mei call back. The other side just a connection, not yet open, Sammy Jones immediately asked: “Where are you? Are you okay? You didn’t go out and run around, did you?”
“I’m fine, I’m planning to get out of the hospital at this point.”
Her tone is bright, sounds like nothing, Sammy Jones can not help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, the tightly hanging heart still didn’t relax a bit, just continued to ask: “You all called me early in the morning, is something wrong? I see that Xiao Mei and Wang Yang both called.”
“Yeah, what else could they be talking about, but the lawyer’s license. They were notified early this morning that it’s okay! Everyone is fine. The firm’s side has calmed down too, no one’s making a scene today.”
Sammy Jones could hardly believe it, “Are you serious?!”
“Really! Eh, did you go beg Joey Xu?”
At the mention of his relationship with Joey Xu at the moment, Sammy Jones’ complexion darkened and his tone dropped a few notches, “Well, I think he helped, but I didn’t expect it to be so efficient.”
“Gee, you’ve opened your mouth, so how can it not be efficient? What do you say, can I go back now and live in peace? There won’t be any more dead rats and snakes in the house, right?”
“Well, don’t worry about going back, since everyone is fine, the world must be at peace.”
Le Mei sighed, “Sammy Jones, not that I’m talking about you, after these two incidents, you should really change your nature, don’t just charge forward in everything. Justice? Evil can’t suppress justice? Che, how nice to say, but this world is unfair, unreasonable things a lot, not rely on our mouth can be solved.”
Sammy Jones sat on the couch, listening to Le Mei lecture herself. This time, she always felt that she was right, it was just that, she couldn’t play with others. Almost hitching her coworkers and completely hitching herself.
“Okay, I know everything you taught me …” she whispered.
“The court is in session the day after tomorrow, so don’t go back!” Le Mei admonished her again.
She didn’t oblige, just said, “Hang up for now, I’ll see what I can do.”
When she hung up the phone, she began to agonize again. The day after tomorrow, the court will be held, she can not give up at this time, right? Things must have a beginning and an end. However, if she didn’t give up, not to mention those people won’t let her go, Joey Xu would also be the first one to kill her.
When he was annoyed and at a loss for words, a lazy questioning voice came from upstairs, “What? You still want to go to court after three days?”
Sammy Jones gripped her cell phone and looked up at him. He was casually wrapped in his robe, towering over her as he headed downstairs, his eyes cold as ice, and it really didn’t allow Sammy Jones to make the connection to the man who had so passionately claimed her last night.
Out of bed, they become tit-for-tat again …
It was as if they had never been intimately entangled with each other.
He’s really sensible enough.
Sammy Jones also warns himself to try to be sensible, not to lose with him, and not to be foolish enough to have other thoughts about him just because he gave him his first time.
“I do. But if, by any further dastardly means … they do,” she would have to regretfully withdraw.
“That’s a bust?” Joey Xu walked up to her and looked at her from above, “What? Giving up on being a hero?”
“You don’t have to taunt me like that, from the beginning to the end I didn’t want to be a hero, I was just trying to do a little bit of duty that I could. You may not be able to understand my thinking, and I never wanted you to.” Sammy Jones shoved his cell phone into his own bag and gave him a look, “I heard from the Lemay girls that you helped us out with everything. Although, last night …”
She bit her lip, still finding it a little hard to talk about it when she remembered last night.
Taking a deep breath, he continued, “Even though last night is over and we’re actually done with each other, it’s still nice to say thank you. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave you now.”
She said and turned to leave.
Joey Xu’s eyes tightened and his face sank slightly. This woman, after utilizing him, she wanted to leave like this? It was too naive!
A long arm closed around her and he tugged her into a hug. She glanced back at him, surprised, and he reached out and swept her into his arms.
“Do you think I, Joey Xu, am such a nice person to get rid of?”
Leaning so close, the faint clean scent of his body wrapped around her, causing her heart to throb uncontrollably. “So what else do you want?”
“You’re not naive enough to think that one sale is enough, are you?”
Selling … again
There was really no way she could blame him for singling out their relationship so clearly, and even less for using words that were so mean, as if she were a prostitute selling her body because, well, she had chosen this path herself.
She was the one who chose to throw away her self-respect for the Quartet case.
So nothing to complain about …
It’s just that even the hardest heart still hurts.
“Just once? Mr. Xu knows better than to count the number of times last night.”
“Sammy Jones, don’t drill me! I’m telling you plainly that bailing you out has cost me so much that even if you stayed with me from morning till night today, it wouldn’t be worth that much.”
She was ashamed and annoyed, “Who’s going to stay with you from morning till night?”
Joey Xu ignored her rebuttal and just spoke in a straight and domineering manner, “From today onwards, you Sammy Jones is the woman I, Joey Xu, have bought. Trading relationship, I am the buyer, you have no right to refuse!”
Sammy Jones, with a slight twinge in his heart, glared at him stubbornly, “How long do you want to play?”
“Whenever I get tired of it, this deal of ours is over!”
Sammy Jones exhaled softly to breathe out the gloom that was bearing down on his heart, and was about to open his mouth to reject him categorically, but he spoke before him, “I can make the people above me stop, or I can make the people above me continue. You’d better think clearly before you make a decision!”
“You threatened me?”
“So?” Did she have room for a rebuttal?
Sammy Jones gripped his bag tightly, fingers white, “Joey Xu, do we have to do this?”
“Which way does it have to be?” Joey Xu snorted and looked at her, lifting her face up to meet her eyes indifferently, “You chose this path yourself! If you had listened to me obediently from the beginning to the end, would we have gotten to this point?”
Sammy Jones broke away from his hand, bit her lip and spoke gamely, “There’s no way I’m going to behave, I’m not the well-behaved woman you think I am! Besides, you’ve never been who I am, and Ming Fan is my friend, I can’t not help him just because you’re bugging me!”
Joey Xu’s face turned colder, hooping her and questioning her sternly, “So, in your opinion, he’s much more important than me! He is your friend and I, nothing, isn’t that so?!”
She could feel his sudden outburst of anger, her heart trembling, and she could barely hold back her retort to his words.
He is also her own savior, she is not an ungrateful person, his position in her heart is more important than Luo Mingfan. But …
What she opened her mouth, instead, was, “That’s right! Before we weren’t even friends, at best we had some interactions. Now …”
She glanced at him, the tide of her eyes fluctuating. “Right now, we’re just in a trading relationship. Mr. Xu isn’t being greedy and wanting more, is he?”
“More?” He snorted, the pride that belongs to a man being completely fueled by her, and his words left no room for doubt, “I wouldn’t give it to you even if you Sammy Jones wanted to!”
In his eyes, a hint of pain crossed. Sammy Jones’ hand hanging at his side tightened a few points.
