Oh no, it seems like he’s dead serious about it.
What should I do?
“Could you just pretend that all this never happened today? I knew you will get mad… I should have not told you all this…”
“What? You thought of hiding this from me?”
“I don’t get what you mean by ‘hiding’ when you know every bit of my private life.”
She was right. During day, she would be at the office. During nightfall she would be at home. It was only until recently she went out for a few trips with Lin Yazhi.
“I hardly know any bit of your private life,” said Huo grimly with his index finger impaled in the air.
For starters, your ex.
“I never hide anything from you!” Lu looked the same dead serious too when she shouted that, which somehow pleased Huo a little, changing his mind.
But wait, that’s not me if I don’t ask for some freebies from the deal.
Huo thought as he suddenly walked to her and closed his eyes with his head lowered, “Kiss me,” his lips grooving.
Lu’s face furrowed in full denial, with a grimace she was planning to shout a big “No” in his face but her eyes caught her mobile phone being brandished in his hands.
Huo, you rat! Will you stop threatening me?
But, it did not appear that Lu had a choice. The swing continued, the lips remained pursed. She eventually laid her pinky lips upon his, only to be seized. He made a turnabout, as he broke through the fortress once again, slipping his tongue into her mouth, sliding the phone into her pocket.
Lu finally felt relieved, as she had secured the trust of her man (and also her life), once again.
Before things got hot, contrary to tradition, Huo let go of her before she did.
It had already been way over the working hours.
And Lu just remembered the task of the day, as she clumsily picked up documents scattered on the ground and shoved them to Huo in a messy stack.
“Sign them.”
“Negative,” muttered Huo as he lighted a cigarette lazily on his throne.
“Fine, Mr.Negative. If the authority hunted us down, I’ll be negative on my liability too, and the president shall take the responsibilities to be executed.”
I had enough with this man today. Like seriously, he has done too much. Could he be at least cooperative for once?
“Don’t worry, I’ll take it just fine. No one would dare to hunt us down.” He passed her a glance, before blowing a column of smoke right in her face.
“Ugh!” Lu coughed as she fanned the smoke away and made a swift turn, running away like a terrified rabbit.
Huo sneered as he got up and tailed after her.
Lu darted towards the outside of the building, only to be welcomed by a Rolls-Royce parked by the road.
She turned away sharply and took her phone out to launch UBER. She would rather call for a ride and not to get abducted by one.
The Rolls-Royce, like Muspelheim, backed away rapidly, with a severe brake right in front of her. The window was wound down as soon as the door was opened.
“Get in,” invited Huo, like a devil, he hooked the air with his index finger.
Lu surrendered. She would not want actions any more drastic taken by Huo, as she squeezed herself into the car.
The car immediately zoomed away before she could fasten her seatbelt, as it zigzagged through the crowd on the road skilfully like a flying fish.
——
That night, Huo Yunting seemed to be fully engaged with books, burning the midnight oil at the study room.
Lu was feeling relieved of her freed crotch, she almost wanted to uncork a champagne to rejoice.
The night passed smoothly. Everything was calm and peaceful, till the next morning… when she saw that gigantic bouquet of red roses on her table at the office. There were around 99 of them, it seemed? She went to have a closer look to find a tiny card in pale purple.
The office was filled with whispers from the girls as soon as they arrived when they checked out the lady of the show attentively.
Oh wow. The old spinster has her day!
“Yang!” Shouted Lin excitingly as she waddled to her, “Read the card! Read! The! Card! We need to know who sent it!”
Lu pulled the card out and skimmed through the writing, only to frown, very, very, very, dramatically.
It was the name she wanted to see the least on Earth.
Her face twitched, not noticing the man who drifted by the office.
Huo Yunting smiled mischievously.
It was getting interesting.
