Mandy knew from the beginning that Zack was arrogant and possibly deceitful but once they are together, Nancy will not be able to see clearly. Nancy stared in a daze at the screen saver which was a picture of Zack. She didn’t believe Mandy.
Soon, she realized that there was some truth to what Mandy said.
Zack held her hand and led her into the building in full view of everyone.
Nancy now realized that everyone’s attention was on her but Zack was very calm. Emm, almost arrogant.
“Does your hand feel hot?” Under the attention of everyone, Nancy can’t help but feel embarrassed. Is this too obvious?
“No.” Zack totally didn’t understand her concerns.
“This is too obvious, it may not be good for the both of us.” Nancy whispered into his ears and to others, it appeared that she gave him a peck on the cheek.
“Obvious? How is this obvious? Isn’t it good that as many people as possible know that I like you?” Zack laughed and turned towards her.
Nancy immediately blushed again.
These words were so endearing. This simple girl can’t get used to this kind of public display of affection!
Zack had her by his side till the 21st floor. Nancy felt that he should release her. It’s fortunate they don’t work in the same department.
But Zack got off the lift with her and walked towards her office.
Nancy was gripped with fear, this was nothing like the low profile office relationships in the movies.
“Zack, Zack, your office is on the 22nd floor.” Nancy desperately reminded him.
Without a word, Zack dragged her into the office. It appeared that Nancy was making a scene.
Mandy saw them pulling and tugging across the front reception.
“Zack, Zack, I need to punch in.” Nancy looked helplessly at Mandy signaling her for help. Mandy stuck out her tongue cheekily, what a useless friend!
“You don’t have to punch in today. In fact, you don’t have to punch in anymore.” Zack’s grasp tightened.
“What do you mean?” Nancy looked at him in horror. Does it mean that she has some special privileges from now on?
Zack walked directly into Supervisor Tailor’s office and said to her, “Tailor, I need to borrow Nancy for a while.”
Supervisor Tailor who was drinking her cup of latte spit a mouthful onto her computer screen.
Looking at Nancy who was still in Zack’s hands, immediately replied, “Of course! Of course. As you wish, Sir.”
“Okay, I’ll take my leave.”
Nancy puzzled and nodded apologetically at Supervisor Tailor and was swiftly dragged out by Zack.
Once outside the door, Nancy retracted her hand and grabbed Zack’s sleeve and refused to move one step further.
“What do you mean by borrow? Am I an object to be used as you wish?”
Zack raised his hand and gently pinched her. “Don’t exert yourself, you may hurt yourself.”
He raised Nancy’s hands as he said softly to her.
“How am I going to continue working here? Everyone must be saying that I got the job due to connections.”
Nancy said pitifully at Zack but he laughed aloud.
“That’s indeed true. It was me who arranged your hiring. How do you think that you can enter Sky Creations without even the certificate of an assistant accountant?”
It is now clear to Nancy. She raised her index finger and pointed at Zack’s nose, “You, you, this was your motive right from the beginning!”
Zack nodded admittedly while Nancy held her forehead in disbelief.
“Admit it, you did this because I was naive, simple and pretty. You plotted all along to entrap me. I’m just one of toys in your collection!”
Zack ruffled her hair, “No no no… it’s not what you think. It wasn’t because of your looks that I tried to get close to you. In fact…”
He purposely dragged the issue and Nancy pressed further. “In fact what? Out with it! Spill it!”
“Silly girl.” Zack embraced her tightly and led her away.
