Muchen laughed when he heard her. What was with her and terrorists? Didn"t they already have this conversation last night and he a.s.sured her that he wasn"t going to that town?
"We"re through" A man announced after placing a luggage on the car"s trunk.
Sara felt the man looked familiar but she couldn"t really place it.
She remembered she hadn"t given him an apple since he just came out from inside. Not wanting to be partial by giving everyone but not him, she quickly took back the apple from Minde"s hand and handed it to him causing Minde to scoff at her in disbelief.
The man looked at her with familiarity and thanked her for the apple. Without sating anything else.
She had seen there had been another luggage in the trunk when the man opened it so out of curiosity, she asked Muchen
"You"re not leaving alone?"
"Ms Long is leaving with me" He answered straightforwardly.
"Wait—what? She"s staying the entire time?"
Sara asked with widened eyes not caring that they were others there. He was leaving for close to two weeks and his beautiful female secretary was going to be staying with him? She didn"t know how he lived when she wasn"t here but now she was!
"Yes." Muchen nodded. He had no idea what was going through her mind.
He suddenly saw her glare at him and s.n.a.t.c.hed back the lunch box and nylon from his hands.
She handed the nylon of apples to Minde in annoyance and took the Lunchbox with her inside the house.
It took Muchen a minute to process what had just happened. Wait..was Sara angry that he was traveling with Ms Long? Then why wasn"t she angry at Ms Long but only him!?
He looked at Ms along in confusion so she laughed and shook her head. He saw the others also had looks of amus.e.m.e.nt on their faces.
"You"ve spoiled her a lot CEO Li." Ms Long commented with a laugh. "You should appease her before we leave" She gave him a friendly advise after checking her watch.
She had observed that Sara was a very straightforward and open person. Someone could easily tell how she felt since it was very open for everyone in the world to see. Her EQ was something else.
Muchen scratched his head before s.n.a.t.c.hing back the nylon from Minde.
"Seriously!?" Minde exclaimed for the first time in annoyance "Why are you all neglecting me? I have feeling too"
He quickly got into the "taxi" beside Muchen"s car. It was the car that would take him directly from here to the office from now on in other to not raise any suspicion. He was never going to take the bus! And fortunately, Muchen understood his plight.
When Muchen entered, he saw Sara talking to herself with an angry expression. He didn"t know what she was saying but he felt she was cussing him.
"Why are you upset?" He approached her with a back hug and held her firmly to stop her from pus.h.i.+ng him away.
He thought it was enough to have a sister who liked throwing tantrums. But now, even his girlfriend had joined her. He only hoped his daughter would be better than these two women.
"I don"t want to talk to you. Go to Country V with your secretary" Sara whined in displeasure but didn"t push him away.
Muchen chuckled before turning her to face him. "We aren"t sharing a room. It"s just like how we work here. She needs to be there as my personal a.s.sistant. If you want, I can call you every hour"
"Anything can happen within the next hour" She shot back angrily.
Muchen chortled and turned her to face him
"Ah! I can call you every minute then. I a.s.sure you nothing can happen within a minute. I"m not that weak when it comes to that" He gave her a teasing wink which caused her to blush and hit his chest.
"Stop talking dirty this morning" She warned.
"But you started it" He accused her.
"But seriously, I don"t want you to feel insecure when it comes to Ms Long. She"s just doing her job. Without her, I"ll crash from overwork" He said to her with a doting pat on her little head. He didn"t want to loose her ponytail since he wouldn"t be staying for long anyway.
Sara pouted before nodding. She didn"t know why she was feeling insecure and acting childish lately. Maybe because she was used to the mindset of Socialites not sticking with one woman and she liked Muchen a lot so she was scared of suddenly walking into his engagement party with another woman one day.
She sighed and decided to let it slide. She trusted Muchen and his feelings for her. If he ever wavered, she was going to knock back some sense into him!
She was so deep in her thought that she didn"t notice him place a little box on his hand. With a smile on his face, he opened it and Sara gasped when she saw the beautiful necklace inside. It was a tiny silver necklace with a round pendant which had the letters "SW" on it.
"Sara w.a.n.g?" She said with her eyes still wide open.
He gave a noncommittal grunt before taking it out to wear it on her neck. He was contented with the look on her face. "I thought you wouldn"t like something too extravagant so I got you this. Anytime anyone sees it, let them know your boyfriend got it for you"
He really hoped she would tell that to any man who got too close to her. He was beginning to feel insecure especially now that he would be leaving her here for days.
Sara looked at him with sad eyes and he started to think she was uncomfortable with it so he asked to know what was wrong.
"Do you not like it?" He asked in concern.
"I love it. I love it a lot. But I"m beginning to feel like a leech. I haven"t given you anything but you"ve given me a lot" She said sadly as she admired the necklace around her neck with a finger on the pendant tracing her initials.
He sighed in relief when he heard the reason for her sadness.
"You"ve given me a lot more than you think. It"s too much that I don"t think I can repay for you the rest of my life. So the least you could do is to stick to me like a gum so I"ll have the opportunity to keep paying you back in bits" He said to her.
"Me? What have I done?" She looked at him in confusion which caused him to chuckle.
"You"ve fed me a couple of times, you"ve made me laugh..hmmm... You"re my girlfriend. It means a lot that you"re beside me" He said with a smile.
"Oh... Wait!" She just remembered he had used the word "girlfriend" twice. Did it mean....?
Her eyes twinkled as she looked up at him. "Really? We"re dating now?" She asked excitedly.
He smiled back and bobbed his head up and down. "You came a little late though. I"ve been dating you all by myself for the past few weeks" He pouted.
Sara smiled excitedly before wrapping her hands around his waist in a hug. "You"ll never take back your words." It wasn"t a questiin!
"I am really crazy sometimes so make sure I don"t see you with those heiresses except it"s for business." She warned in advance.
The night of Mo Dachuan"s birthday party still haunted her whenever she remembered Muchen with those ladies and how they smiled seuctively at him. Even that little rat Guan Lanbi had tried to blackmail her.
"But guess what? He"s mine now!" She said to the universe.
"So...can I have my lunchbox ? I really have to leave now" Muchen asked with a laugh. Why was Sara suddenly being so clingy? And he really liked it!
"Yes you can boyfriend Li" she took the lunchbox from the table and handed it to him gently.
"Boyfriend Li?" He chuckled at the new t.i.tle.
He reminded himself to stop playing around and leave already. But he was already beginning to miss her.
He gently pulled her with his free hand and almost went in for a kiss before he heard a voice from upstairs say loudly
"CEO Li go to work and leave women alone!"
They both looked up to see Heya standing there on her pink pyjamas. She shook her head at the both of them and disappeared out of their sight. They had no idea how long she had been there but they both laughed.
He didn"t back down and still went in for the kiss that sealed their new relations.h.i.+p.
