Sara still thought about Heya"s "advice" even as the car dropped her off at home.
It was true. Muchen was obviously every woman"s dream. Not only was he super cool and handsome, he was rich, ambitious, and he had that dimple that drove her crazy.
She suddenly remembered those heiresses that Dexi had told her Muchen must have dated. What if more heiresses came to steal her man away?
She walked into the apartment in a daze and plumped down on the couch unhappily. The house was obviously empty since they had all gone to clean up their new apartment.
"Why did he have to be so perfect? I wouldn"t have been bothered if he had a normal look like Jinyong or Dexi" She complained.
She took out her phone and wondered whether it was wise to call him now. He had mentioned something about having a busy day. She decided to try her luck then. If he was busy then he could just call her back later.
On the second ring, he took the call.
"h.e.l.lo, Mr Li." She said. She really liked greeting him this way.
She smiled when she heard him say a happy "h.e.l.lo Miss" in response.
"Are you less busy now?" She asked.
"Yes. Is something wrong? Why do you sound that way?"
Muchen stood up in the middle of a board meeting and signaled to the people present there that he would be back shortly.
Their surprise was written all over their faces. What was going on? He happily said h.e.l.lo to a woman, asked what was wrong with her and even left them here?
They turned to look at Ms Long for answers but she said nothing and only flipped through a file with a tiny smile on her face.
"Ms Long... Is the CEO dating?" One of the directors asked when he could no longer hold in his curiousity.
She raised her head and looked at all of them like she didn"t know what they were talking about. "You should ask CEO Li. He"s the best person to ask." She said to the director who looked like he was in his mid-thirties
"Mist..er...Li. I wanted to ask..."
"Go on." Muchen waited impatiently. He wondered what it was that was really bothering her.
"Do you..do.. I mean... Do women really throw themselves..at you?" She gathered her wits and asked.
He blinked his eyes in confusion and convinced himself that he didn"t hear her clearly. Did she really call him to ask him about this?
"What did you say?" He asked.
"You heard me please don"t make me repeat myself" He heard her "embarra.s.sed tone" and he could guess she was using a had to cover her face.
His face lit up. "Who told you that?" He asked.
"Just answer me. I know you"ll have advances like that but... I want to know how...how.. often"
Muchen chuckled and used a hand to rub his forehead. He decided to play with her a little "It happens hmmm.." He pretended to think "Very often... Everyday" He tried to suppress a laugh.
"What? Are you serious?" Sara swallowed hard and stood up abruptly. In her head she was screaming "Noooooo! Not my boyfriend!!!!!!!!"
"Why? Aren"t there other guys in the world?" She asked him in anger.
She didn"t hear him say anything for a while and was beginning to wonder whether he had ended the call on her but then, she heard him say..
"Jealousy looks good on you, my love"
Sara stopped pacing around and heard her heart begin to thump loudly. "Did he...did he just call me his love? Omg..." She used a hand to cover her face and smiled widely.
"Don"t listen to whatever Heya tells you. It doesn"t matter whether they throw themselves at me every second. I only want you to throw yourself at me. So stop thinking nonsense and go help Mr w.a.n.g clean up. I"ll talk to you later babe" He hung up and went back inside the room with a broad smile on his face.
Sara began to jump around in excitement. After jumping to her heart"s content, she began to twirl around. "I must have saved my country in my previous life. How nice" She spread her hands wide and fell back on the couch with her back.
The smile didn"t leave Muchen"s face at all. He wished she would call him like this everyday because she was a bit insecure. Wasn"t Sara always bold and confident? He realised that he liked every single side of her.
He ignored the look his subordinates were giving him and checked his phone when he heard it beep with a text from Sara.
It read...
"Mister Li.... You"re planning a birthday for your grandmother right? It means you"re already treating her well right?... The thing is... Why don"t we just start dating now? ?"
His employees wondered why he was grinning widely while reading something on the phone. Oh... He"s even smiling widely while typing on the phone.
The curious director could not hold it in anymore. He took the risk to ask him even if he would lose his job because of his curiosity.
"CEO Li....by chance....are you dat...ing?" He stammered.
The other employees looked at him in shock. They couldn"t believe someone dared ask the CEO something entirely not work related.
Muchen raised his head after hitting the "Send" icon. He looked at the director and smiled.
"Yes. Anything?"
Muchen"s answer garnered gasps and whispers.
"You"re really dating?" A female supervisor asked this time.
"I am" He answered with a nod.
"Does she work here? When do we get to see the lady boss?" Another man asked.
It was the same question in the minds of all of them. Who was the lady that their boss fell in love with? They guessed she must be very rich, powerful and famous. Someone they couldn"t even stand before.
Ms Long chuckled and continued going through her laptop like none of it concerned her.
"She doesn"t work here. And you can"t see her. She.....gets shy easily"
"What if I don"t want to??"
Sara"s eyes narrowed when she received the text from Muchen. She was annoyed but she didn"t even know why she laughed.
"You must want to Mr Li. You must want to" She chanted.
