"Hi, Secretary Yun."
"Ah! a.s.sistant Yu." Yun Xixi let out a sigh of relief and pressed a hand over her jumping heart in her chest. She thought that she would be dragged back her family home and be locked inside. She almost run out like crazy just to outrun them and also planned out her "attacks" she will do in case they will catch her.
She then turned pale as she realized that she will have to quit her job and be away from her boss. She gritted her teeth at this thought and determination flashed across her eyes. She swore that she will not let her family ruin everything she had achieved today and take away her freedom. She would not let her family take her away from her boss.
"Secretary Yun? Are you okay?" a.s.sistant Yu"s worried voice was heard, making Yun Xixi to abrubtly turn to him only to make her realize that his face was only inches away from her. He was looking at her with a worried look on his good-looking face.
As if this was not enough, a.s.sistant Yu placed his huge hand over her forehead and felt it, saying, "You don"t have fever. That"s good. But you look a little pale though. Are you alright?"
"Wh-what is this? This was clearly overstepping into her personal s.p.a.ce!" Yun Xixi"s face immediately turned bright red as she realized the distance between them. She then fl.u.s.teredly took a step back to make some s.p.a.ce between them. Only, because of how sudden her movement was, she lost her footing and had tripped.
"Ah..." Yun Xixi yelped in surprise and squeezed her eyes shut. She was falling. She cursed herself as she must have looked pathetic right now.
Yun Xixi waited for the impact and the pain yet both did not come.
"are you really okay, Secrectary Yun?" a.s.sistant Yu asked again. His worry increased again as he looked at the fragile-looking lady in his arms.
She felt so small and soft. She also has this fruity fragrance from her; however, it was not annoyingly strong that would make his head ache. In fact, it smelled so subtle that he could not get enough of it. As soon as this thought pa.s.sed through his mind, his head leaned even closer down to Yun Xixi"s neck where this fruity fragrance was more abundant.
"Ah~" Yun Xixi"s eyes flashed with embarra.s.sment and alarm.
"It smelled so delicious." a.s.sistant Yu softly said. His voice was so quiet and was loud as a whisper. This comment would not have been heard but because of their close proximity, Yun Xixi was able to hear this.
Delicious? Seriously? Yun Xixi"s mind exploded and felt a little dizzy. She does not know if this was because of her embarra.s.sment from their closeness and their current position while in the street or because of her hunger, but right now, she just really wanted to faint.
"Yeah, I really like your fruity perfume, miss secretary." a.s.sistant Yu said with a bright smile on his face. He said this quite naturally, as if he had said this kind of lines a thousand times to other women.
"Pl-please let go of me. Just..let go." Yun Xixi stummered. She turned to the side. She could not look at a.s.sistant Yu"s eyes at all. She was too embarra.s.sed to do that.
"Oh. I"m sorry." a.s.sistant Yu immediately let go of Yun Xixi. When he saw that she was still a bit unsteady, he put a hand on her back to support her. "I...I just slipped my tongue. Sorry about that, Secretary Yun. Also, you don"t look so good. You were pale at first then your face is now red. Do you really fever?"
"What? No...of course I don"t have fever. It is..just like this because I got exposed under the heat of the sun for minutes now while waiting for some taxi." She replied as she turned to the side to avoid any eye contact with a.s.sistant Yu as she fanned her burning face.
"Oh. Where are you going then?"
"Go grab some lunch." Yun Xixi grumbled, and as if to agree with her, her stomach growled loudly.
"d.a.m.n it, belly! Why do you have to make a sound now?!" Yun Xixi wanted to run away from a.s.sistant Yu to find a hole she can crawl to and hide. This was so embarra.s.sing.
"Oh? Then let"s go together." a.s.sistant Yu said as he looked at the cute lady beside him. Since his boss had gone to eat with his wife, he was left behind to eat on his own. Seeing the conflict showing on her clear eyes, he added, "Having someone to eat with is more fun than being alone."
After some thought, Yun Xixi reluctantly nodded her head. "You"re right."
"So, is there any place you wanted to go?" a.s.sistant Yu asked as he escorted Yun Xixi to the front seat and opened it for her. As he went around and sat on the driver"s seat, he turned to Yun Xixi and waited for her reply.
"Secretary Yun, do I look scary to you?" a.s.sistant Yu asked, feeling a bit hurt. Was he forceful with her just now? He should have not approached her so bluntly like that.
"No, no, of course you"re not. A good-looking man like you is not scary at all. Ah!" Yun Xixi covered her mouth as she realized that she just said what was on her mind. She even said "good-looking." Isn"t this the same as confessing to him?!
Yun Xixi covered her blus.h.i.+ng face and wanted to cry. Maybe this was a bad idea, after all.
a.s.sistant Yu chuckled at this and cheekily said, "No, I should be the one that is most honored to be with such a charming lady like you to eat with someone like me, Secretary Yun."
After he said that, a.s.sistant Yu started the car and drove off.
Ah? Charming lady? Me? Yun Xixi looked at a.s.sistant Yu weirdly. Is a.s.sistant Yu"s eyes bad?
"So, where do you wanna go?" a.s.sistant Yu asked again as he kept his eyes on the road.
"I"ll let you decide." Yun Xixi meakly said this, taking quick glances at a.s.sistant Yu"s side profile. At this angle, she can see his dark and alert eyes, straight nose, and thin pinkish lips. His skin was also fair, like a woman"s. When they were close with each other, she felt his skin and thought how smooth it was.
As a woman, she was really ashamed of her own skin.
Thinking this, she looked at her skinny arms and touched it. It felt soft to the touch but...it was not as soft as a.s.sistant Yu"s skin.
"Okay." a.s.sistant Yu nodded his head and his speed accelerated.
After only just a few minutes, they have arrived at a restaurant called Lagoon. He parked his car on the parking lot and got out of the far at the same time that Yun Xixi got out. The two then entered the restaurant and immediately ordered some food.
"Order anything you want. I"ll pay for it." a.s.sistant Yu said with a gentle smile on his face.
"Really? Uhm...I don"t think I can do that." Yun Xixi shook her head.
"I insist. This is my thanks for keeping me company."
"...Okay." Yun Xixi nodded. If someone who knew Yun Xixi saw the her right now, they would not believe that she was so silent and acting so timid like this.
