8 Li Jie (2/2)

I told him the whole story his attention was fully focused on me the whole time. I didn't even have to make it dramatic for him to be shocked.

”Wow. That's a lot to happen in like one day. I mean I knew the CEO was evil. But I didn't know this I can't believe he force married you. And he wasn't he drunk at the company dinner. He could win an Oscar! He's never been interested in anyone at all. Everyone thought he was gay for a while but he had no interest for boys either. I guess I understand why you don't want me to say anything the contract sounds crazy.”

”I know! It is!”

I leaned in close to him and whispered in his ear.

”I'm trying to find a way out of this contract before anything more happens.”

What I had forgot about was the fact that the CEO was not far away enough and my whisper was no where near quiet enough. Which also meant he heard our whole conversation.

I pulled away.

”Okay i'll he-”

Before he could finish a voice that sent chills down my spine every time I heard it spoke up.

”Baby. There is no way around my contract. And if you ever think of trying to get rid of me. I'll have to make you remember your promise to me when we were younger. And you!” He glared over at the man sitting across from me. I just realized I hadn't even figured out his name. And I have no clue what he meant by when we were younger. That's weird. But that didn't matter I was more worried for the man. Liu Wei looked like he would kill him. I don't want to have to learn his name at his funeral.

The look in Liu Wei's eyes could scare someone enough to want to be away from them for years. Or an eternity.

”You will not talk about my contract like that. It is reasonable. You mustn't forget that I could fire you in a second and not even have a care in the world. If I ever hear anything like what I just heard you'll surely regret it.” He sat back down in his seat with no other words.

Me and him gave a look to each other and headed to the elevator. The CEO wouldn't be able to hear us from here.

”Like I was saying earlier. Don't worry I'll help you. We might want to tell Li Qiang though, he could help.”

”If you think it's best go ahead but make sure you or him don't say anything I don't want this to get out.”

”Of course. And by the way! My name is Li Jie. And yours is Haley. Which isn't Chinese so what's your chinese name?”

He asked rather quickly.

Wow that name does not fit him. Someone so dainty?

”My chinese name is Zhang Xiu Ying. I prefer the one my mom gave me. Because it's easier to say.”

”Your name fits you well. Elegant and Brave is perfect.”

He gave me his number and we chatted while the elevator came up. He got on and went down to his floor. While I headed back to the dragons den.

I got in and suddenly. His voice was heard again. He was sitting on the front of his desk. With his hands back and his head turned towards the door and me.

He looked so handsome. That I was almost distracted.

”I guess i'll have to remind you of our promise from when we were younger.”
