"Good afternoon Miss Yang. I hope that I didn"t ruin your schedule just because of my selfish decision."
The woman sat like a pine tree, straight and full of confidence, pride of a n.o.blewoman and dignity of a queen.
Her deep-set eyes were like looking directly into your soul, captivating every inch of a man.
The red voluptuous volume lips of her were thought-provoking and could incite the desire to capture and ravage it until it taste iron. The mole places under her lips can make anyone thirsty.
The way she dress is more refined yet that sinful body makes a conservative dress tempting. Her long wavy hair covers most of her body but it created a s.e.xier sight to behold.
"No worries."Her voice contain the soothing effect of an innocent woman who wasn"t tarnish by evilness. Her chaste voice, paired with a tempting body could make anyone thinks she"s to be treated with fairness and goodness out of this world but it could arouse the beastly desire to dominate and sully this kind of woman.
Sadly, Xi Sheng isn"t a man but her appreciation towards beauty knows no bounds. Male or female, as long as it"s pleasing to the eyes, she will handle it with care. She believes physical appearance is only a trivial thing thus she treated everyone "fairly" under a certain circ.u.mstances, but beauty is a feast for the eyes, who is she not to appreciate them?
"Heiress Yang is really open-minded and understanding. This meeting is really an eye-opener. Those rumours I heard was really awful." Xi Sheng sigh in a sorrowful manner as if really feeling guilty.
"Oh? those rumour should be really awful to make Mr. Xi displease." Her self-mocking voice was pitiful and heart-wrenching. Like she was treated unfairly.
Xi Sheng looked at her and said, "The rumour said Heiress Yang is a pretty fellow but this meeting proved that it"s completely wrong. Your beauty could rival to Aphrodite"s appeal. Hah, gossips shouldn"t be trusted." Xi Sheng acted like she was experiencing an enlightenment and it was flawlessly accepted by the other person.
Her award winning acting was triggered in order to lower the other person"s guard, loosen their vigilance and make them closer and feel more comfortable.
Heiress Yang let out an amusing smile, "You...probably has a sweet tooth, your sweet talk is really something."
"Well, someone sweeter than any pastries is in front of me. Don"t blame my tooth, blame yourself okay?"
Xi Sheng acted like a sore-dumb in front of her, spout some bulls.h.i.ts to hug her thigh and sometimes make an advance towards her. Her efforts successfully paid off, Heiress Yang accepted her advances and sometimes return it in a sophisticated manner.
"Let"s forgo these formalities, shall we? My given name is Yang Luo, Mr. Xi can call me simply Luo."
Xi Sheng stared at her beautiful smile and quite interested at the glint that showed in Yang Luo"s eyes," The term Mr. Xi is unpleasant, it makes me older so please just call me Ansheng."
Xi Sheng pondered for a while and her face revealed a warm and playful smile.
If 008, who was familiar with Xi Sheng saw her reveal this kind of smile, even him would look at her disgustingly and his hands would unconsciously feel itchier than the usual.
Usually, when Xi Sheng smiled like this, someone would get majorly screwed to the point of no return to the right path.
°°°°°°°
"In behalf of the Xi Corporation, I am feeling sorry for the accident that your employee met today. I hope he gets better."
Xi Sheng cut the harmonious scene with one sentence that made Yang Luo"s face pale.
"No, it was our employee"s bad luck to fall in such a state, there"s no need to feel sorry."
"I heard that employee is a seed of CEO Yang, am I right?" Xi Sheng ruthlessly add a comment that put Yang Luo"s face into despair.
She didn"t reply back but the hatred in her eyes cannot be ignored.
"Mr. Xi shouldn"t pry into someone"s family drama or else..." Those threatening eyes were used to gaze at Xi Sheng"s face but this gaze was nothing and didn"t scare her one bit. The thing that made her amuse is the sudden switch of personality of this pretty-faced persona.
She really can"t get tired of those reactions when their masks suddenly falls off.
"Yang Luo or Luoluo? Let"s cut to the chase shall we?" Xi Sheng removes one of her masks and showed Yang Luo her playful side.
The once angelic Yang Luo is now baring her fangs at a possible enemy.
"Yang Ruo, is it? He"s the b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of CEO Yang from his mistress. His birth is lowly making the shareholders doubt his ability. The elder sister was given everything while the b.a.s.t.a.r.d younger brother has nothing. Because the elder sister has the things he doesn"t have, a desire kicked in and he slowly steal those things that the sister has: the father"s attention, the support of Yang Clan..."
Xi Sheng was currently feeling joy in adding salt to Yang Luo"s wounds. Yang Luo"s face was red like a volcano ready to erupt.
She stand up and look down at Xi Sheng"s arrogant posture and demeanour, "If Mr. Xi is here to mock me, then I might as well leave."
"You really became distant. Looks like teasing you is not good. Well, good impressions should be cultivated and not just by one meeting."
Xi Sheng shrugged her shoulders and extended her arm to pull Yang Luo, she moved fast and swift until Yang Luo"s body is lying in the couch and Xi Sheng at her top. The sudden changed in position caused her to feel dizzy but the beautiful face of Xi Sheng caused her to be more dazzled.
Xi Sheng look down at the person below her body and revealed a s.e.xy smile. Her right hand cornering Yang Luo"s hip, while her left hand is supporting her body to not fall down in Yang Luo"s.
"It looks like Luoluo was offended but that is a fact. The rights of the women is nothing compared to men. CEO Yang probably gave you the t.i.tle as an heiress but are you sure you"ll really inherit it? Yang Ruoyi, send you to a man"s bed and the talk about you being unchaste is circulating around the capital."
"Nothing happened!" The veins in Yang Luo"s head is ready to popped up at any moment. Her hatred towards Yang Rouyi reached a greater height so when she heard he encountered an accident, a relief smile suddenly reveals itself.
"Let"s say nothing really happened, but who would believe you? Your father lose his face to even clean your image, your reputation is as dirty as mud. Luoluo, try to wake up. Yang Ruoyi is taking away everything you own, he"s not even sparing your dignity. One day, you will wake up in regret in not taking someone"s help."
The last thread snapped out. Those mixed emotions gushed out. Her fear, hatred, longing, loneliness, sadness, they all flow out.
"What can I do?! My father didn"t even look at me when I told him that Rouyi framed me! He even look at me disgustingly and said I was a s.l.u.t! My friends whom I trusted was taken away by Ruoyi and they even turned their backs at me! The man who I thought love me has left me when he heard I was ****! Those people who looked up at me are now stepping my dignity! Even if I beg them to believe me, they will eventually label me as a pretentious. After all of this, tell me, who will help me?"
Xi Sheng stared at the glistening tears that flowed out in Yang Lou"s eyes like a waterfall. The situation calls someone to pity Yang Luo but Xi Sheng who find the crying Yang Luo even more beautiful cannot be counted on to calm her down.
Instead of pacifying her through words, it"s much better to let her cry out to her hearts content and let her grievance be washed away by her tears. She offered her ears in listening to her misfortune and it already induce dislike towards Yang Rouyi in Xi Sheng"s heart.
"Me, I will help you okay?" Xi Sheng move her hands and coax her through....flirting.
Xi Ansheng"s body was military trained so even if Xi Sheng stayed at the top of Yang Luo, her body didn"t get stiff but was still flexible like before.
Xi Sheng stands up and brew a black tea and burn a bergamot incense to calm the nerves.
"The leader of the feminist movement strived to gained the equal rights as of men"s and they successfully did it, getting the women"s right law. The law paved a way to show the women"s talents and skills in different fields. Our era display that there"s no discriminatiom between men and women and we have this so-called equality but the problem is, those high profiles are in favor of male over female in terms of a successor."
Xi Sheng offered a cup of black tea to Yang Luo to replenish her sweats that came from her eyes.
"Gender equality? That"s nothing but an empty talk. Yes, your company"s shareholders are dissatisfied with Yang Ruoyi"s background but why did your father still introduced him in public? Is he not shameful that the world will know that he cheated in his wife? Then why did the shareholders didn"t oppose when Yang Ruoyi entered the company? Because of pity to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d son?"
Xi Sheng wants to test if Yang Luo"s IQ is online but if not, then she can bulls.h.i.t someone from her bad luck on meeting a pig teammate.
"....Father wants Ruoyi to steal the company from me."
Xi Sheng"s booming smiled revealed itself. It looks like G.o.ddess of Luck didn"t turn her back on her.
"Bingo, princess. CEO Yang made Yang Ruoyi start from the lowest position, promoting him little by little until he achieves the same ground as you. He introduced Yang Ruoyi as a sign of change of an heir."
Xi Sheng peer at Yang Luo"s impending mood. She unfolds the hurtful truth about his father"s betrayal on her.
"The b.a.s.t.a.r.d start from nothing but he earned his position through hard work, proving his ability not to be trampled, pleasing the shareholders and dissatisfied by you. The heiress started from the highest point and although she showed her capability, her reputation is stained by black. The bad things can be overlooked if your powerful, it can be suppressed and the opinion of the public can be directed but did your father helped you? He didn"t and even called you a s.l.u.t. This could only one thing: CEO Yang looked down at you, his daughter."
Yang Luo entered the pensive mood and Xi Sheng intensify her feeling by stating the revelation to her.
"Between the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who proved his ability and the heiress whose reputation was stained black, who do you think will CEO Yang choose?"
"Even if he chooses Yang Ruoyi, I still have accountable shares than him." Yang Luo blurted out these words as if persuading Xi Sheng but in truth, she"s convincing herself.
"Although delusional but still salvageable." Xi Sheng thought to herself.
"You"re not getting the bigger picture. Yes, you have a large share on your name but are you sure that it wasn"t altered? Besides the stocks aren"t stable, they can mount to a high price but if you"re unlucky, they value lower than a candy. Your shares are probably high but can it rival the support of the board of directors?"
Xi Sheng crushed the tiny confidence left on Yang Luo.
She gave time to Yang Luo to digest the truth behind the secret betrayal. Although she lacked on EQ department but her IQ could cover the insufficiency of the former. She knows betrayal is something that"s hurtful to someone that trusted you, especially when that person is your loved ones.
Sometimes, it"s good to be hurt by the truth than live in lies, Xi Sheng understands that fact.
Minutes pa.s.sed until the eerie silence was broke by Yang Luo"s question, "Are you also like those men?"
"I"m not old to be one. If you"re aware with our history, you"ll know the prestige of a daughter is higher than a son. The daughter can have anything she wants, wealth, power, dignity, prestige. But of course there"s a price to pay."Xi Sheng stated in a playful manner but she whispered the last sentence.
A smile revealed itself in Yang Luo"s lips but it can"t be categorized as a positive one," What is your plan?"
"Is this a deal then?" Xi Sheng listen to her reply, not taking any answers a.s.sociated with the word "no."
"I have no ally." She replied weakly, knowing her weakness.
"Well, your answer could suffice. The plan is instead of sucking to your father that could be fired anytime why not suck up to the highest man?"
"The Chairman?" Yang Luo"s eyes widen at Xi Sheng"s words.
"Bingo. But do you have what it takes to be in power?You have to sacrifice anything in order to achieve everything."
"To be in power..." Like a subliminal message, these words circulated in her brain, giving a surge of motivation and also doubt.
"I....am willing." Although she knows that there"s a probability of dirty work, since her reputation took a great blow, why not living up for it?
Sometimes, dirty work can"t be done and it"s always present in obtaining something you want but since Yang Luo isn"t a pig teammate, she will not drive her into a dirty path but maybe....just a tiny little bit.
....
Their meeting adjourned. Xi Sheng walked out satisfied and Yang Luo in a contemplative state.
As a gentlewoman, Xi Sheng accompanied Yang Luo until they reached her car and bid her sweetest goodbye.
Xi Sheng saw a boring people on the way and decided to show off her booming greatness.
She"s unaware that her smile caused someone to die on the spot.
"G..Good afternoon, Young Master" Secretary Liang smiled like a puppy in front of her. This greatly caused something to stir up in Xi Anwei"s heart.
She nodded at him and leaned on Xi Anwei and made Xi Anwei inhale her intoxicating lavender perfume.
"Did you know? I met a beautiful lady today? I guess you won"t understand it." Xi Sheng walks out and laughs like a psycho, mocking Xi Anwei"s lack of women by his side. Secretary Liang switches his position and tailed Xi Sheng like a loyal golden retriever.
Although Xi Sheng likes to show off, she didn"t like to attract those buzzing bees. Just like the type of Secretary Liang whose mouth spoke nonstop.
"Young Master, how was your lunch?
Did you eat healthy foods? How was your meeting with Heiress Yang?....."
Secretary Liang throw those questions endlessly and look at Xi Sheng with tantalizing starry eyes, hoping for an answer.
"You....shut up for a moment."
Too f.u.c.king noisy...
"Young Master! What"s happening to you? Are you feeling sick? Did you eat an unknown food? Young Master..."
Xi Anwei who didn"t mind being left out suddenly pulls out Secretary Liang"s collar and dragged him out. He always felt speechless whenever he witnesses his 360 degrees personality when he"s with Xi Sheng or whenever he saw "him."
Xi Anwei glance at Xi Sheng with his peripheral vision and saw that "he" left with annoyance.
"Looks like Ansheng really hates to be with a boring person especially a blabber-mouth, Secretary."
"What do you know?! Young "Master" once complimented my voice, so he liked it so much."
"Well, I guess that could change you know? He left with annoyance."
People can never be the same, they change as the days pa.s.sed by. That"s life.
Secretary Liang"...tsk. Why do I have to this with you."
Xi Anwei:"..." Do you think I want it too?
Xi Sheng perceived that scene where Secretary Liang and Xi Anwei together, can"t be deduced as a conspiracy but an upcoming disaster, especially to the company"s hardworking employees.
Later that night, she was called upon to attend a party with those high socialites, to gather intelligence about the upcoming "event."
The party was named, "Year end party of the upper echelon", although it seems tacky and lame at first but it is rather flaunting their t.i.tles to anyone who heard it.
Just like Xi Sheng, they weren"t here just for the party, the term party was just a decoy and the main purpose of this event is to gather information for the economy"s value next year. What industry should they invest to gain more profit or the stocks value would be higher or lower. In short, it was still all about money.
Unlike Xi Ansheng style of gathering information, Xi Sheng didn"t like pleasing or boot licking these arrogant socialites. Her style sides more in eating, sleeping then talking.
"Why do shameless things when you can do a ha.s.sle-free job?"
She stare someone in the eye and looked that person"s silhouette as her prey. The woman seems pretty powerful as other greet her and give her respected courtesy.
...
2 o"clock in the morning, West District.
Xi Sheng gapes at the satisfied naked woman beside her. She stood up her refreshed yet tired self.
The figures she acquired from her is enough to turned the tables with Xi Anwei"s prospect in destroying Xi Family but Xi Sheng is still not contented with the results, she still need sufficient evidences.
The fragment of this world or simply called consciousness is pretty powerful to remove her from her mission if she overstepped her boundaries. Fate can be a b.i.t.c.h sometimes. Failing the mission as well as being removed at the fragment is not unfamiliar to her, of course she once undergone it. The pain she felt can be described as being minced with your consciousness intact, her soul quivered and as if she would perish if another intensity will be added. It can be sum up with one word: torture.
Xi Sheng wore her clothes and even Pei Jiang helped her band her breast. There was nothing called awkwardness between them cause they both know that this "one night stand" is a business deal, no more no less.
Pei Jiang is a broker as well as an insider. She"s also the same species of Xi Sheng, who sleeps with women and flirts with men. Even Xi Sheng broke a sweat in making Pei Jiang submit to her. Pei Jiang"s approach may look like docile but her movements holds power, it was swift and precise.
Pei Jiang watched as Xi Sheng wore her suit, an evil sweat slides down from Xi Sheng"s neck up to her abdominal muscles up to her lower parts, it was simply too l.u.s.tful. Thankfully, she categorized Xi Sheng as one of her own kind and didn"t think much of that scene.
Pei Jiang:" Do you want me to send you home?" "If you are not afraid of a gossip tomorrow, that is."
Xi Sheng read her meaning:" No need, already called a service."
Pei Jiang went to her closet then accompany Xi Sheng in waiting the service while carrying a paper bag.
Xi Sheng look up and saw a cloudless starry sky.
Pei Jiang felt moved in seeing such a mind blowing scene:" The reason I chose to reside here is that of this scene. The night sky is like a calming pill to me, even if I experienced pain and unfairness, looking at this makes it feel worth it."
Countless stars are displayed at the cloudless and unpolluted sky. Cold breeze embraces their being while the noises of the insects are simply too calming.
Contrary to Pei Jiang"s opinion, Xi Sheng gazed at the sky feeling negative emotions like remorse, helplessness and defenselessness. She felt that the world was too big to grasp, and she was just an insignificant being. The stars look down in her like no one will feel sad when she suddenly pa.s.s away.
The sky resembles a s.a.d.i.s.tic Judge while Xi Sheng is a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic prisoner, ready to suffer negative emotions just to feel that she"s still a human, perfectly imperfect.
A car"s noise shattered their atmosphere and it change into a parting one. Xi Sheng glances at the car displeased for ruining her mood.
Xi Sheng exchanged pleasantries before setting off but Pei Jiang hold her back, she extends her and gave a Xi Sheng a paper bag with a known logo of a clothing line.
"This is a breast binder, its much healthier to use than a white cloth. Take it as a little gift from me."
Xi Sheng:" Well, I don"t have any gift to give but this card from our company. Show this to any employee, and they will give you their utmost priority."
The card is colored silver and its holders are VIPs of Xi Corporation, the card is hard to get especially if your connection and power is little.
Pei Jiang decreased their distance and whispered to her:" As a little reminder, Xi Anwei is a lunatic. He"ll do anything to achieve his dreams, even selling himself to the devil. "
Her hot breath brushed to her face, her reminder wasn"t taken seriously but it embedded itself somewhere in Xi Sheng"s brain.
"I know. Xi Anwei obliterated the Xi Family after all. If he doesn"t have a loose screw, he wouldn"t bite the hands that fed him."
Their bodies" place was taken as kissing so the driver, reminded them of his presence.
Xi Sheng bid her goodbye and ride her service, she"s going to lecture this rude driver.
...
"Why are you my driver?"
Xi Sheng whose energy left her body was only able to squeeze this question.
A silence answered her until minutes pa.s.sed and no one answered her, so she decided to look at him only to witness Xi Anwei peek at her from time to time, specifically with neck and unb.u.t.toned shirt.
A sudden chill creeped out in Xi Sheng"s body hair.
Xi Sheng"..!" This b.a.s.t.a.r.d....isn"t thinking of murdering me just because he doesn"t have woman, right?
Xi Anwei saw Xi Sheng trembling, so he threw her a water bottle with a minimal heat on it.
Xi Sheng felt thirsty upon seeing the water but her vigilance towards Xi Anwei is high, so she checked the bottle if it was previously open. When the result show that it was brand-new, she drank it and ease her thirstiness
Xi Anwei:" The servants in the house are all asleep and since West District is close to my meeting place, I voluntered to fetch you."
Suspicions arise in Xi Sheng"s heart, why are you still negotiating at this hour?
Question after questions attacked Xi Sheng"s brain. But since the household know that Xi Anwei fetch Xi Sheng, it should be alright....right?
After a long trip of silence, they reach the silent house without talking.
Xi Sheng left the car and walk straight to her room.
Her caution towards an enemy heighten her sense of survival so when she stepped to her room, any guard she put vanish from her tiredness.
She dived in her bed without changing clothes and forgetting to locked her door from a possible a.s.sailant, her mind plunged in the dreamland.
That night, Xi Sheng slept in deep slumber. Her state was unguarded and defenseless, unable to sense the interference of a shadow.
....
As much as Xi Sheng wants to continue her sleep, the ringing sound of a clock didn"t let her.
Her hands swiftly made its way to the clock"s direction and smashed it, destroying the poor clock that"s only doing its job.
Her eyes trembled and opened itself. She stayed at looking at the ceiling, little by little her drowsiness are being replaced by rationality.
She stood up walking to her bathroom, ready to wash away the smell of s.e.x she had yesterday. Although the strong smell has already faded, Pei Jiang"s perfume and other bodily fluids are still intact.
After being naked, she noticed that the hickeys on her body especially in her neck and collarbone seems to be pretty big compared to the others that are small in size.
She entered an unguarded sleep and her system isn"t with her, so she has no way to know if someone entered her room while she"s sleeping. Her intuition tells her that someone did approach her when she was sleeping.
"This is.... quite bad. If that person knew my secret.." Xi Sheng"s eyes darken from the thought of someone using her gender to blackmail her. The other person knowing her secret may disrupt her plans.
But why did that person...her hickeys...to her neck...
A thought came in that made Xi Sheng smile:" A pervert huh."
"No matter what is your motive, since you laid your hands on me, be prepared to play with me."
Drops of water landed themselves into the smiling face of Xi Sheng, she remembered her last masterpiece when a pervert tried to play with her; though it was only her who had fun while the pervert"s life became a living h.e.l.l, he spent his life tending to his injuries, as well as being scorned by the society.
But little did she know, it was her that will be played by the culprit, this course will happen in the future, her decision to not execute the culprit today will be her most regretful decision.
.....
Xi Sheng"s mood was great until she was faced with her jam-packed schedule. She"s aware that her schedule must be full but not this full to that extent where even going in the bathroom while tending her needs must also be planned.
She visited place by place nonstop until the sound of her stomach grumbling that reminded her that she"s out of energy to burn.
But still, that didn"t stop her from reducing her workloads. She consumed small portions of foods she saw when her meeting ended, at least it could decrease her cravings.
Her bright smile never faded when meeting with clients because portraying a bright image can smoothen and fasten the deal. Of course, there"s also those kinds of people who made Xi Sheng creased her eyebrows in annoyance so sometimes her image cracks up and her sharped tongue did its way in shutting those clients who like to make trouble to people younger than them.
Xi Sheng look outside and saw that the dusk is nearing, yet she"s still here, mingling with papers buts at least its better than a.s.sociating with dumb humans.
Knock! Knock!
Xi Sheng:" Come in."
Xi Sheng look fixedly at the proposals, but she knew that it"s a girl because of the shadow.
"Sir..."
A delicate and cute voice was heard but that didn"t make Xi Sheng look at her. She"s not in the mood to flirt with someone.
Xi Sheng:" State you need, Secretary Kim."
The owner of the delicate and cute voice is her secretary a.s.signed by her uncle. Although Secretary Kim looks weak and girly, but she is in fact a lethal bodyguard from the dark society.
Every member of the family was given a bodyguard, these bodyguards are their own protective talisman when something endangers their life. Xi An owns 5 bodyguards, the three of them came from the dark society while the remaining 2 retired from military.
Xi Sheng didn"t know how they got those killers, but she"s aware that Xi An was once a mercenary, meaning that Xi elder"s connection probably came from him.
Secretary Kim is not only an agent but also an all-rounder, everything Xi Sheng needs can be accomplished in short time.
Secretary Kim:" A representative called Yang Luo asked for a meeting tomorrow. Should I add her?"
Now that Xi Sheng thought about it, this woman was also there guarding the room when she had a meeting with Yang Luo. She is also with Xi Sheng when she attended the party, was she with Xi Sheng 24/7?
Xi Sheng:" Were you with me in the party? "
Secretary Kim"s eyes glinted with hate and intent to kill, unknown to the bowing Xi Sheng:" Yes, sir. But Chairman Xi instructed me to leave you alone when I had made sure that the parameter is safe and identified that Pei Jiang is harmless."
Xi Sheng nodded at her response but inside is having a thought on how creepy it is to erase someone"s presence.
Xi Sheng:" What is my schedule for tomorrow? "
Secretary Kim:" A conference with Manager Hao from a major branch and a press conference in the afternoon."
Her schedule tomorrow seems lacking compared of today"s.
Secretary Kim:" Minor meetings and approval were given to branch manager Anwei, it was an order from the Chairman."
Xi Sheng"s movements stopped.
"Something is not right and it"s surely not in my favor."
This is why she never let her guard down on, Xi Anwei"s luck is f.u.c.king good. She can"t let the original course of events to happen.
...
The world is too full of surprises. You need to be flexible enough to adapt on every possible changes. But sometimes you can just sit, relax and smile. Just like what Xi Sheng is doing.
She"s currently sitting in her executive chair, wondering what the f.u.c.k happened within the past 15 minutes.
Her head is probably not yet stable from pulling an all-nighter thus, hallucinating about her employee who stripped half naked.
Xi Sheng closed her eyes and ma.s.saged her temples.
Does the society think that I"m a l.u.s.tful being?
Xi Sheng: "Manager Zhao, please calm down and wear your clothes."
Your body may be good but did you know? Lack of sleep resulted in decreased levels of testosterone, the hormone responsible for s.e.x drive so no matter how your body can induce l.u.s.t, it"s no use to me.
Manager Zhao looked fixedly at Xi Sheng with determination and resoluteness in his eyes: " I have decided to accept your offer."
From the looks of it, Xi Ansheng offered Zhao Fang a rise in position by warming her bed but it was just a joke between men and Xi Ansheng didn"t mean it and planned to promote him because of his loyalty towards the Company.
Xi Sheng:"Manager Zhao, let"s speak in a civilized manner. Wear your d.a.m.n clothes, okay?"
Manager Zhao stubbornly insist on stripping. When Xi Sheng stopped him, he thought that his "promised" promotion will vanish within his grasp, and he can"t let that happen. His hands may be shaking due to fearfulness to Xi Sheng, but he still chose to sacrifice himself.
He undid his belt and almost pull down his pants, a shadow jolted in front of him and in just a blink of an eye, he was dressed just like before he entered Xi Sheng"s designated office.
Xi Sheng breathe a sigh of relief. She holds Manager Zhao"s shoulders and exert a pressure. "Don"t do that again."
When Zhao Fang met Xi Sheng"s eyes, he felt more terrified. His body stiffen and the energy to support his legs abruptly left; he fell on the floor and hugged his knees.
When Xi Sheng tried to touch him, Zhao Fang trembled even more.
Xi Sheng: "Why are you acting like a victim? Was it me who scheduled a conference just to strip naked?"
Remembering the original owner"s joke, she felt even more annoyed but when she hears little sobs coming from him, Xi Sheng suppressed her irritation and felt responsible to the big man"s pitiful state.
If Xi Ansheng" s memories serves her right, Manager Zhao Fang suffered from hara.s.sment before reaching his current position.
His short hair cascaded down like a tamed waterfall, his skin was like a beautiful jade, it was smooth, unblemished and delicately white. His small exquisite face was enough to rival the beauty of high-rated courtesans from the past dynasties who were said to cause calamity within empires.
The gossip of the original Xi Ansheng inviting him to warm her bed reached the ears of the employees. Women look at him disgustingly while men provoked him by speaking vulgar things. Even the clients of Zhao Fang s.e.xually hara.s.sed him especially those old farts.
Xi Ansheng knew this but didn"t intervene. Why? because she"s testing him. She already acknowledged him but if he tried to give up his dignity just for a mere t.i.tle then she acknowledged a small-minded employee.
The original owner was.... naive and cruel.
She didn"t know the feeling of being hara.s.sed because she was protected and lived a carefree life. She thought that those people who complained about being touched in their private parts were petty.
Xi Sheng who felt the original owner"s weight on her back: "Sigh....Yeah, it was Xi Ansheng" s fault. The blame is on her not me who was using her body."
No one will never know the pain of s.e.xual hara.s.sment unless they experienced it. Those people who sympathize you just follow the common sense of pitying the weak, they feel sorry but not the anger and hatred you feel. If they really sympathize with your bad luck, they will not say any pitying words to you.
When he was still in his school years, men always bully him for his feminine appearance; girls pity him at first but it turns to envy whenever they see him prettier than them.
He grew up witnessing his mother accompany different men. He also witnessed her mother doing things that shouldn"t be done in front of a child. This made him traumatic thus he grew up with a timid personality but this doesn"t let him to show his ability to climb the ladder of power.
...
Xi Sheng felt deja vu.
Why do always people cry in front her? Was she that scary?
Xi Sheng viewed Zhao Fang who are still sobbing between his knees. She helped him sit on the couch to not injure his body from the cold of the floor. She couldn"t help but to pat his head to console him.
Xi Sheng: "I intend to promote you. I was just jesting about warming the bed. I never thought that my (her) words will affect your life. (In behalf of Xi Ansheng) I am sorry."
Xi Sheng sincerely said sorry to someone, yet she received Zhao Fang trying to strip again.
Xi Sheng: "Do you have a f.u.c.king tendency to strip naked? I already asked for forgiveness and this is your d.a.m.n reply?"
Zhao Fang heard Xi Sheng"s words but refused to think that a blessing will fall just like that, his timid self cannot accept the fact that he"s more talented than he thought he was.
"Please don"t jest again. If this is enough for the promotion...I willingly comply."
Xi Sheng: "Please talk in human language. Did you not hear what I said?"
Xi Sheng leaned on her table and the adrenaline she felt a while ago didn"t reveal itself in the face of an imminent danger.
Zhao Fang stood up, determination fueled itself inside his eyes and with the strength of sacrificial lamb, he undressed himself from top to bottom in front of her.
It seems like the processor of her brain short-circuit bidding its last words: "Why do people are so d.a.m.n stubborn."
The human anatomy of a handsome man laid himself in front of her.
The thing that made women lost in pleasure fiercely glare at her and showcase its might.
The thing that Xi Sheng never look at even if it gave her pleasure....unveiled itself.
"Farewell, my innocent eyes."
