Chapter 699: You won’t get him.

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

Ever since falling out with Sammy Jones and promising Zhao Yuan Yuan an immediate wedding, Joey Xu had thought he’d never have the chance to wake up the way he did. The feeling of opening his eyes and being the first to see her put him in a happy mood.
Finally, in the end, letting her go, rubbing her messy hair and getting up from the bed. Sammy Jones handed over the clothes he’d changed out of last night, “I just ironed them for you, so you’ll wear what you can for now.”
Joey Xu looked at his shirt and pants, which had been neatly ironed by her. When he touched them, it was as if the heat of the iron remained until now, warming them and flowing all the way into his heart.
It’s a feeling that I can’t say enough about.
Sammy Jones took a vacation from going to the office. It was a rare moment of such leisure, so she pillowed herself on the couch and watched TV.
Looking at it, he couldn’t help but remember the words Luo Mingfan said to himself yesterday, and couldn’t help but feel a little bitter. He is indeed a very good man, but unfortunately …
If Joey Xu hadn’t come along, maybe she would have actually considered him.
However, now … how on earth should he reject him to be good? Is it the same as what Joey Xu said, just call and reject?
While he was lost in thought, his cell phone rang. When I looked at the number, it was Joey Xu calling.
“What’s going on?” Joey Xu asked, and the sound of him flipping through papers could be heard over there, looking like he was really quite busy.
“Lying leisurely on the couch watching TV. Aren’t you busy, why do you have time to call me?”
“Well, I just finished a bunch of things in my hand. I don’t have dinner at noon, so come over and have dinner with me, huh?”
That last monosyllabic word was clearly a question about what she meant.
Sammy Jones raised his lips in a soft smile, “You want me to bring you a bento over for dinner?”
Joey Xu closed the file and complimented her very seriously and solemnly, “I’ve realized that you’re really good with your hands. After eating it a few times, it makes me addicted.”
“Right?” Sammy Jones, about to be smug again, got up from the couch and headed for the kitchen.
The next instant, Joey Xu’s words made her grit her teeth.
“Uh-huh, just like you people.”
“…” Sammy Jones really didn’t know what she was going to call him anymore. She realized that this guy really did enjoy molesting her in particular, and now he was actually even sparing her during work hours.
“You’re messing with me again, and when I come over later, you’re dead!”
Joey Xu laughed lowly, lowered his voice, and spoke ambiguously, “I’m more looking forward to you making me horny …”
Sammy Jones nearly spat out a mouthful of blood and, finally, simply ignored him and hung up the phone with a red face.
This guy, he’s just a complete rascal! A big-tailed wolf!
Over there.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Joey Xu’s face had not yet converged.
Obviously in an excellent mood.
Sunben couldn’t help but watch in wonder from the sidelines. Sure enough boss’s mood is something that few people can fathom, when he and Ms. Yuan Yuan were about to get married the other day, he was still collapsing his face all day long, making people so terrified that they didn’t even dare to take a breath.
As a result, now that the marriage contract was broken, the whole atmosphere in the company became relaxed and easy-going.
Goodburn gave a dry cough.
“That, sir …”
“Uh-huh.” Joey Xu looked up at him, the smile in his eyes hadn’t collected yet, and before Sunben could say anything, he had already taken the lead, “You guys go eat your lunch, don’t worry about me, I’ve got a bento.”
The corner of Zenbon’s lips twitched slightly.
Is it an illusion?
Those last few words sound like bragging rights anyhow.
“Good.” Yoshimoto answered.
“What were you going to say?”
“Ms. Zhao Yuanyuan has been downstairs saying she wants to see you.”
Joey Xu frowned slightly, “You need to talk to me about this kind of thing, don’t you know how to fix it?”
“It’s been rebuffed a few times, but Ms. Zhao is very insistent, saying she’ll wait until you’re out.”
“Then let her wait.” There was no relief on Joey Xu’s face. When it came to relationships, he really wasn’t a person who liked to drag his feet. So when Zhao Lanlan left him to marry Xia Feiqing, he didn’t hold back. Even if she later came back to find herself again, he might have been moved by his heart, but it was also clear that some people were absolutely impossible.
The weather in this city changes, always extremely quickly.
A few days ago, it was still rainy and cloudy, but now the sun is shining brightly. Sammy Jones had his lunch by himself, and then he came to Yung’s with his bento in a very good mood.
Standing in front of Rong’s entrance, he looked up at the building and sighed in his heart.
The first time she showed up here and saw Joey Xu wearing sunglasses, she only found him unbearable and annoying. Unexpectedly, in less than two short months, she was now standing here in a different mood.
Approaching Rong’s, as soon as the receptionist heard her say she wanted to see Joey Xu, her eyes balked as she sized her up from head to toe, nonchalantly. Sammy Jones blithely let her do the sizing up, and when she was done, she smiled slightly, “Is that all right?”
“No!” The other party, however, spoke with an expressionless face, “If you don’t have an appointment, please go stand in line like that young lady.”
The other party raised her hand and compared it, so Sammy Jones followed the direction of her finger and caught a glimpse of Zhao Yuan Yuan.
She was sitting in the lounge area of the company lobby, with only two meters between her and her. Every now and then, she looked at her watch and then up in the direction of the elevator, manic.
So, she’s waiting for Joey Xu?
Seemingly sensing Sammy Jones’ gaze, Zhao Yuanyuan also looked up suddenly, and the two people’s eyes met squarely in the air, sparks immediately flying.
Before Sammy Jones could think much about it, Zhao Yuanyuan had risen with a flourish and was pressing straight in her direction, coming on aggressively.
“It’s really a narrow road!” Zhao Yuanyuan was the first to speak, with an imposing manner.
Sammy Jones placed the bento box on the reception counter and looked at the little girl in front of him and said nonchalantly, “I heard that you went to see me at the lawyer’s office?”
“What? Since you’re so scared that you’re going to shut down and rest and move, what’s the point of being a third party?” Zhao Yuanyuan’s voice drew out all of a sudden, causing the entire floor to look sideways towards them.
Sammy Jones was all embarrassed and really didn’t want to get into a jealousy scene with a kid eyeballing her in such a public place. However, once he heard her words, he felt funny again.
“What are you smiling about?” Her smile seemed like provocation to Jo Yuanyuan, a triumphant show-off.
“Ms. Zhao, you may have misunderstood. Firstly, it has nothing to do with you if I shut down my business and rest or move. In fact, you don’t need to find yourself a sense of existence like this.”
Zhao Yuanyuan’s face froze.
“Secondly, the reason Joey Xu wants to call off his engagement to you is because he doesn’t love you.”
Sammy Jones’ words were direct and did not give Zhao Yuan Yuan the slightest bit of face, causing her face to turn blue and white at first.
“You! Even if Joey Xu really doesn’t love me, then what are you? Joey Xu loves my sister, what about you? You are just a plaything for his whim! Don’t be complacent, it won’t be long before he discards you like garbage.”
Compared to her exasperated look, Sammy Jones, on the contrary, remained calm and unruffled, “Ms. Zhao is imparting your personal experience with me? Then I thank you in advance.”
“You!”
Zhao Yuanyuan was so blocked by her that she couldn’t say a single extra word. While she was jumping to her feet, the receptionist on the side hung up the phone and carefully spoke, “Miss Jones, the president wants you to go up.”
“What?” Zhao Yuanyuan’s spear pointed at the person who spoke at once, “Are you mistaken?”
“Excuse me, Miss Zhao, this is a call from the president himself. Miss Jones, please follow me this way.” The other party gave a respectful gesture towards Sammy Jones. Where was the same attitude as just now? Sammy Jones just wanted to end the nonsense with Zhao Yuanyuan, so she didn’t care and followed the other party with her bento.
Zhao Yuanyuan, however, took a step to chase after them and block them, “What about me? When is Joey Xu going to see me?”
The other party had a difficult look on his face. It took a moment before he said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Zhao, the president didn’t say anything about seeing you.”
So that means …
No matter how long she waited, Joey Xu would never see her again.
Sammy Jones subconsciously looked at Zhao Lanlan. Her face was full of loss, and then, lifting it up, she gouged out Sammy Jones again with hatred, obviously, in her opinion, the reason why Joey Xu didn’t see her was all Sammy Jones’ fault.
Sammy Jones only shrugged innocently and crossed to her, heading for the elevator.
Without turning around, he could still feel the grudging and hateful eyes from Zhao Yuanyuan.
It was as if the eyes wanted to cut her to pieces.
She sighed, the women that this Joey Xu guy had recruited were really not that easy to deal with.
But …
When he was desperate, he really didn’t care about the other person’s feelings either. This was true for Zhao Lanlan, and it was also true for Zhao Yuanyuan.
She couldn’t imagine what would happen if in the future, between her and Joey Xu …
Blah blah blah!
What makes her think that, for good reason?
Thoughts cut off for a moment as she stepped into the elevator, only to hear a sultry remark from Jo, ringing out from outside the elevator, “Just wait and see, Sammy Jones, I won’t let you have him!”
The door, at that very moment, closed.
Instead, she inexplicably winced, her heart startled, and she subconsciously gripped the bento in her hand.
In the next instant, she felt that her reaction like this was a bit funny. When she was fighting the case of the Four Directions Group, there were so many small moves behind her back, and she didn’t feel afraid, but now she is actually afraid of a little girl with two words, isn’t it funny?
The elevator rattled crisply and the doors opened before Sammy Jones snapped out of the daze he’d just been in.
Walking out, the people on the entire executive floor looked at her in surprise, with varying degrees of skepticism in their eyes. She didn’t come up from the ordinary elevator, she went directly to the special floor, so it was only natural that she could attract some attention.
Yoshimoto happened to come out of the president’s office, and when he saw her, he immediately greeted her with a smile.
“Miss Jones, sir is already waiting in the office.”
Once again, Goodbourne’s respectful demeanor was side-splitting.
Sammy Jones didn’t say anything, but just looked around, surveying Joey Xu’s work environment with interest. She remembered watching him in the hospital when he was working, so quiet and focused, and so different from his usual self.
She couldn’t help but imagine what Joey Xu looked like when she worked here.
I knocked on the office door and heard Joey Xu’s voice before pushing the door open and entering. Before closing the door, I could hear someone behind me asking Zenbon what kind of person she was to Mr. Xu.
Joey Xu was lounging idly on the couch when Sammy Jones entered, his computer resting on his lap, his long fingers jumping over the keyboard in a seemingly busy manner.
She gently placed the bento in front of him, “Eat first, and then get back to work.”
Joey Xu held the computer away from her and, with one reach, pulled her into a hug on his lap. She pushed him with embarrassment, reminding, “This is an office.”
“So what? No one dares to come in privately without me calling.” Joey Xu’s large palms circled her waist, his long fingers sliding around her waist as if they were there.
“I bet you’re usually this casual at work, aren’t you?”
He narrowed his eyes and cupped her lower jaw, pulling her little face down, “You think any woman usually comes my way?”
