"Arghh... You brute! Listen, don"t be childish. Lu Han is a hot-headed teenage and said that only because of your reputation and didn"t really mean it. and....and it doesn"t really matter."She said the last part avoiding eye-contact. Of course it did matter to her. She wanted to rip every v.a.g.i.n.a he had f*cked and every lips he had kissed but she had no right to feel that way.
He could do whatever he pleased. He wasn"t obliged to her just like he wasn"t promised to her. Now more than ever she felt like an imposer, like nothing but an intruder.
His eyes turned thunderous and a storm seem to brew in them and his voice dropped to an octave, "Why doesn"t it matter, Xinyi? You think it"s a game? Are you playing too?"
Lei Xinyi pursed her lips, took a deep breath and made eye contact with him again, "It doesn"t matter because it doesn"t matter to me and that"s what should matter. I don"t care what your past was all I care is that I am your present. OK?"
His looses his grip on Lei Xinyi arm and cups her face while looking at her with smirk. He kisses her in a gentle and erotic way, "Be my Raven, I will make you the happiest woman on the planet."
Lei Xinyi gave him a her best fake smile and slid out of the car. It was early as the Lu"s like to do their Breakfast early in the Morning because of Master Lu Army habits.
The whole office was not really crowded. With hurried footstep Lei Xinyi reached the female Bathroom then rushed to a cubicle and locked it.
She leaned against the cubicle door and covered her face with her hands and groaned.
It was getting far more complicated than she should have allowed. She was getting more entangled. She was lulling out the reality and vine by vine getting entangled in the emotional mess.
Suddenly the thought of being his was spiking her heartbeat. Lei Xinyi shook her head at her obnoxious thought. The longer she stayed here the more chances she will have to be caught.
Then maybe Li Yuan will be the very person to encase her in the coffin. What she had done was mean and selfish but that"s what criminals do.
She really hoped that she was only a phase or fling or maybe a kind of infatuation for Li Yuan. It will feel like sh*t but she couldn"t deal with real feelings right now.
Fine... She had to get through this phase and she had to do it faster. The more time she spent here, the thinner the thread will be for her.
Taking a deep, calming breath Lei Xinyi got out of the restroom. She smiled with grace and walked with poise because that"s what Queens like her did, no matter what turmoil is churning their insides.
When she reached her desk, it is filled with different pretty flowers and little cards.
Immediately a giggle leaves her and a smile grace her lips, on the outside but inside she want to shove these flowers down the throat of these people who gift her these.
She was allergic from pollen, for G.o.d"s sake! But that d.a.m.n Lu Xinyi wasn"t so she couldn"t say it out loud.
It was from the male population in the office. She felt like she was a high school campus bell. She was asked out almost everyday by a different man which she always politely declined.
The attention from the male population brought severe hostility from the female population so she only had one friend that was Liu Yan who showed her the place when she first came here.
Overtime she realized the girl had guts but was a little caution to new people.
After the fiasco in the conference room the head of planning department Yun w.a.n.g steered clear of her but resorted to glares and scowls.
Aside from that she could feel the gazes of the males in the office all the time that it made her cringe. She had to force down the urge to dig their eyes out.
"Oh my goodness! Your fan club seems to grow everyday. Xinyi, you are quite popular here. Aren"t you?" Lei Xinyi heard Liu Yan from behind her. She could feel a tinge of envy in her tone but ignored and smiled in her direction.
"Yeah, I guess." Keeping her facade, Lei Xinyi giggled in an embarra.s.sed manner, "Will you help me clear this up and put these flowers in those vases." Lei Xinyi pointed to the vases far away from the desks in a secluded area of the Department.
Liu Yan looked at her funnily but obliged. Lei Xinyi then used her nasal spray then used the tissues on her desk to get it clean. Why could people not simply take the hint?
She picked all the letters and smiled looking at them, then arranged them and kept the in her drawer neatly. Later on she will throw them in the trash can at once.
Having dealt with all the mushy lovers, she busied herself in the paperwork that was pending from yesterday.
The time was pa.s.sing well for her, as she hurried herself in making the reports of the proposed projects.
Working has proved to be healthy for her, when she was working her thoughts hardly drifted to the cl.u.s.ter her life was now...
"KNOCK! KNOCK!"
Loud knocking sound on her desk get her out of her concentration.
She looked up to see a very stiff, burly middle-aged man with an expressionless face in a crisp suit, standing there with a bouquet bigger than any bouquet she had received here. He even had a gift box in his hand and she could see a note in the middle of Orchids.
Lei Xinyi found it hilarious. With a stance like an Army officer ready to be a martyr and holding a bouquet of Orchids like a puppy-mushy lover, he looked hilarious to say the least.
Everybody had stopped working by now and were looking at the intruder for a good show.
Did He come to profess his undying love for her too? Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes inwardly.
Lei Xinyi leaned back on her seat to rest her aching back and looked at him with a fake smile.
"Can I help you?"
Before the man could open his mouth, Liu Yan came forward, right beside Lei Xinyi and squealed that was more fake than her lashes.
"Wow Xinyi. Another mysterious lover! You seem to have a charm for wealthy lovers."
She was hinting at Lei Xinyi being a pompous woman, who had a knack for attracting sugar daddies.
Lei Xinyi gave her a tight smile and said only for her to hear, "Wealthy men apparently knows the worth of coins and bills."
Liu Yan smiled turned tight. She tried to act nonchalant. It was obvious Lei Xinyi was saying that the man with wits knew the values of women, mocking her for not being able to be appealing.
Paying her no more attention Lei Xinyi turned back to the government-agent looking guy.
"Can I be of any help to you?" Lei Xinyi said with a half-hearted smile.
In fact she just wanted to get over with it. The situation was the perfect definition of irritating.
People had always found her exotic and s.e.xy but people who knew her as Lei Xinyi knew what she was capable of and kept their distances.
The man bent down on his knee and said in robotic tone, "My Boss has sent this for you, Ms. Lu." He offered her the bouquet and the gift in his hand.
The day was getting better and better! Note the sarcasm.
Lei Xinyi gritted her teeth in mortification and sighed. Denying was waste of time and prolonging the drama. It could be seen he was just an employee and wouldn"t leave till his job was done.
Taking the bouquet and gift packet Lei Xinyi gave yet another tight smile and muttered, "Thank you."
The gus.h.i.+ng of the colleagues continued, making Lei Xinyi blood boil. If only she didn"t have to put an act of a graceful brains with beauty, she would have slammed their heads on the nearby walls.
"That"s your biggest bouquet you have received, Lu Xinyi! Come on. Read the note for us!"
"Yes Lu Xinyi read it! Let us taste the love that is in the air too!"
"Come on, we are all friends to each other." Since when?
The whistling and hooting continued. Lei Xinyi was about to subtly tell them to f*ck off when Liu Yan s.n.a.t.c.hed the note from the bouquet in a playful manner which Lei Xinyi didn"t take playfully at all but smiled sweetly none the less.
Lei Xinyi gritted her teeth inwardly. Who knew what blasphemy was in that note that the whole office room was going to hear.
"OK, OK Guys. I am going to read it for our Xinyi." Liu Yan held out the card in front of her and cleared her throat. The whole office listened as if it was a prophesy that was being told.
It was obvious she was extending the drama intentionally. She will see this white lotus chick later, Lei Xinyi smirked just thinking of that.
"The Orchids symbolizes refined beauty. So I am sending the flowers to a beauty as refined as the Orchids I have sent.
With love to my love.
