Chapter 19: Fear of getting exposed (1/2)

”Shh It's me.”

Without bothering to look up, his smoky, impalpable voice shouted his identity in Suyin's brain. Wang Shi!

Her heat raced, she wanted to breathe from mouth, but his calloused hands were resting there. There was not even a gap of one foot, he was that close. And damn! He smelled delicious. Surely not any strong cologne or perfume man's fancy. Maybe his shower gel, lotion, or whatever it was, it was drool worthy just like him.

Blinking from her dazed state, she nodded; questioning his abrupt action with the rose of her brows. Not like she mind, but a warning won't do any harm but prevent her from getting a heart-attack!

”Stay still, there is a reporter coming this side,” He whispered, entrapping her between his arms, closing the distance further. His warm breath lingered near her ear, making her broke in goosebumps.

With her hands at his biceps, she could feel they were stone hard.

Wow!

Taking a big gulp of saliva, she moved her right hand to his chest to prevent him from moving any closer. But the next moment she cursed

With just a wall of thin aqua scrubs in the name of clothing, his muscled chest beneath her palm was like a steel. Hard. Strong.

'Despite his busy schedule, how did he manage to workout?'

Can't believe, she just wondered about his workout amidst this situation! Facepalm!

”Who's there?”

The voice startled Suyin. Instinctively she looked at Wang Shi, worried. ”I'll handle this,” With no intention of dragging Wang Shi in her mess, she decided to face the reporters.

However before she could move, Wang Shi turned over and pushed her face to his chest. ”Stay still,” He said.

She could feel his one hand at the back of her head while the other at her back, keeping her firmly in his arms as if he doubtful she might act on her own.

Suyin clenched his scrub in her fist, inhaling his masculine fragrance. Surprisingly, it calmed her! The feeling of being protected by someone warmed her heart.

”I said, the one behind the pillar, come out.”

”Don't try to hide, you're caught.”

Other reporters followed. The approaching of footsteps made her sweat; all she could think of was Wang Shi's reputation.

To her surprise, he stepped out of their hideout and revealed himself.

Approaching of footsteps stopped! Silence ensued for some time.

”What were you doing behind the pillar? Hiding? Who is the woman-”

”Master Wang,” A reporter bowed respectfully, ignoring the ones who dared to question the man standing in front.

A few other reporters pushed the cameras down and took a step back. They hold their silence. If he was the one they were thinking, it's best to stay low key and let these silly newbies take the flame.

Hearing the word Master Wang, new comers looked at others in question but were ignored.

They brought their curious glances back to the tall man embracing a woman. The potency of his gaze was searing to the extent it burns through them. He contained the aura only leaders commanded; powerful, oppressive, dangerous

Though newbies, they were not fools to not grasp the situation. The way others reacted was the biggest hint to back off.

”O-our apologies,” They backed off too.

It shocked Suyin.

Not even a single word from Wang Shi's mouth, and everyone backed off? Just like that?

She was curious to see his expression that makes them stutter but the moment she tried, he pushed her head hard, slamming her nose to his chest.

Ouchh! That hurts!

Ignoring them, Wang Shi left with Suyin..
