She stopped packing her things and slowly straightened her body. She asked suspiciously,””Private matter? What private matters do we have to discuss, CEO Ji?”
She bravely looked at him with her beautiful eyes.
Ji Ziming immediately put down his crossed legs and stuck a hand into his pocket. Standing up suavely, he said in a deep voice,””Don’t you think you should compensate me for the broken photo frame?”
Hearing this, she subconsciously thought that since the photo frame was broken and the photo was not damaged, did the man not have an extra photo frame at home? It can’t be, right?
Hence, she blurted out,’Mr. Ji, is a photo frame very expensive? You want me to compensate you? And if you didn’t wake up suddenly and say something that scared me, I wouldn’t have broken it!” There was a hint of complaint in her voice as her sexy red lips pouted. Her eyes darted left and right, not daring to meet his eyes.
Ji Ziming’s sharp brows furrowed slightly as his good-looking thin lips slowly said,””It’s not cheap!”
As he said that, he lowered his head in deep thought and suddenly took a few big steps forward. His handsome face was so close to her delicate nose bridge that it was as if he was just 0.01 mm away from kissing her.
She subconsciously took a step back in shock. Just as she lost her balance and was about to fall on the sofa, the man reached out and accurately wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
She widened her eyes at the man’s deep-set eyes and, like a small shrimp, she was submissively held in his arms.
“But you’re a coward and accidentally broke it. How can you blame me for scaring you? Shirking responsibility and slandering the boss, this will cause your salary to be deducted!” The minty smell of his body filled her nose, and when she heard him say this, she felt as if she was lying on the clouds and her body went soft.
“You …” After a long while, she frowned and blushed. She could only Mutter this one word.
He deliberately inched closer, and just as his thin lips were about to touch her sexy red lips, she pushed him away.
Ji Ziming laughed maliciously and adjusted his clothes.””You what you? tell me, when are you going to compensate me?”
She rolled her eyes at him in amusement and pouted.””President Ji, it’s just a photo frame. I can still afford it, so you don’t need to inform the finance department to deduct my salary. Don’t worry, I’ll buy it for you tomorrow and put it on your desk. ”
After that, he continued to bend down and pick up the things on the table.
“Alright, you must keep your word.” Seeing that he had achieved his goal, the corners of his lips curled up.
She did not reply and merely lowered her head to continue packing her things.”If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have come to see you. I had to go through so much trouble to find an excuse and loiter outside with so many things. After entering the door, si linna had to declare her sovereignty! I’m really wasting my effort!”
“Actually, this should be a separate matter. I’ve always been a person who draws a clear line between public and private matters. You broke my photo frame. If you compensate me, I naturally shouldn’t say anything more. “However, I should still thank you properly for coming to visit me when I’m sick …” Seeing that she seemed to be angry, he suddenly wanted to coax her.
Who knew that she would immediately straighten her body and reply with a righteous look,””Please don ‘t, President Ji. I’m the special Assistant and also an employee of the company. It’s my duty to care about my direct leader. Actually, it’s also my fault. If I had insisted in the morning and asked the family doctor to come and take a look at you, perhaps your condition wouldn’t have been so serious. I don’t have to come here personally because I’m too worried. ”
“You said you were worried about me?” He was overjoyed, but he still tried to restrain himself.
“Y-yes, is there a problem? CEO Ji?” She found it strange that he would suddenly question her. Wasn’t this perfectly normal?
He suddenly took two steps forward, a trace of joy flashing across his good-looking eyes. He grabbed her shoulders tightly and confirmed,””You’re worried about me because I’m still in your heart?”
Only then did she realize that the man had misunderstood her words.””Oh, CEO Ji, I understand what you mean. Don’t misunderstand; my concern for you is purely that of a subordinate to a superior. There’s no such thing as a relationship between a man and a woman. If my way of speaking has caused you any trouble, please understand.”
She hurriedly explained. After a long time, his large hands slowly slid down from her shoulders, and his eyes clearly showed a hint of desolation and disappointment.
She saw him release his grip on her and continue to pick up the things he had packed. She looked at the man, who was still in a daze, and said,””President Ji, I’ll be leaving first. Have a good rest.”
Seeing that he did not respond to her, she continued to walk toward the door.
Just as she opened the door, the man suddenly added,””I’ve taken my medicine, so it’s not suitable for me to drive. I’ll get the driver to send you. You can just wait at the gate.”
She stopped in her tracks and was about to turn around to say something to reject him when she saw the man’s lonely figure. The tears in his eyes, which could not be dispelled, made her feel pity for him. In the end, she only said gently,””Thank you, CEO Ji. Goodbye.”
The door eventually closed. He turned to look at the closed door as if the warmth had disappeared from it.
He pursed his lips tightly and narrowed his eyes. “You’re not here to visit me because you still love me. You’re here to talk about work, because you’re my subordinate, and to pay for your mistake this morning. That’s all … That’s all …”
As he spoke, he stood on the spot, his large hands clenched into fists, his eyes slightly closed, and his face was full of pain and hideousness. In the end, guessing that she had already gone downstairs, he forced himself to call the chauffeur and told him to wait for her at the entrance so that he could send her home safely.
After hanging up the phone, his cold eyes stared out the dark window. Under the moonlight, his lonely back seemed even more lonely …
PEI GE, on the other hand, had nothing else on her mind. After bidding Auntie Zhang goodbye, she took her laptop and documents and headed straight for the main entrance.
From afar, she could already see the chauffeur waiting outside the door.
She could not help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. Ji Ziming was still considerate enough to know that it was not easy to get a taxi in this rich area. With a smile, she pulled the door open and walked toward the car.
