Chapter 147: Never tease a man in bed (2/2)

Deep down, I decided to never personally take on a case if I had to work under a disguise for a company.

During the morning meeting, rather than paying attention to the CEO’s month end summary, Suyang kept peeking at me with a serious expression. I was sitting at the farthest end.

After giving him several warning glares, Suyang finally paid attention at the meeting. But when it was his turn to speak, instead of looking at Xu Chuqiao, he kept looking at me. At the end, he even directed a question to me. “Am I correct? Lin Yixin?”

I had zoned out the whole time he was speaking. When I lifted my head, I could see everyone’s eyes on me. So, I could only respond with thick skin. I smiled and nodded, “Yes. The manager is correct. I totally agree with the manager’s words.”

Also, whenever Suyang headed to his office, he would come by my cubicle and secretly pinch my face. Then, he would try to electrocute me with his charming eyes.

He was always in a great mood. On the contrary, I was always living in fear that someone would discover our relationship.

To stop him from misbehaving, everyday, I would tell him hundreds of times to stop playing around.

Another issue was Guo Zijun. He was still trying to challenge me from time to time. I honestly wanted to tell him straight up that I was only there temporarily. I wasn’t there to compete with him for the job.. He needs to calm his ass down and stop trying to pick fights with me.I honestly had no idea how he has so much time to start shit.

After enduring several days, it was finally the day of the company event.

Normally, at 8pm, the work building would be empty with its lights on. However, today, it was bustling with activity. The event was held in one of the banquet halls. I wore the same black formal dress I had bought from last time and searched for Suyang amongst the crowd.

In order to avoid suspicion, we purposely left at different times. He left 20 minutes before I did. Logically speaking, he should already be here.

While I was searching for Suyang, Xu Chuqiao’s secretary stood from afar and made eye contact with me. Then, I received a text message: CEO Xu is waiting for you on the 23rd floor.

I nodded to indicate that I had received her message and took the elevator to the 23rd floor. Compared to the banquet hall, the 23rd floor was eerily quiet. The lighting was very dim and there were no one on this floor. I would be surprised if a ghost suddenly popped out.

“CEO Xu?” I pushed open the door of the conference room. I didn’t dare to enter until I made sure there weren’t anything freaky or strange.

For some reason, I felt like the atmosphere was abnormal. While I was hesitating whether I should back out or not, rushed footsteps suddenly appeared behind me.

I turned around in alarm, but before I could scream, I was forcefully shoved against the table. My head also struck against the table and I was very dizzy. My hands were tightly locked and I couldn’t fight back at all.

I had no idea why he was acting like this. I fearfully stared at him, “CEO Xu, what are you doing?”

Xu Chuqiao had a vicious expression on his face. His scarlet eyes were glaring at me. He looked like he could see through me. He hollered, “Speak! Who are you!?”

I didn’t understand what he meant. I wasn’t sure what was going on.

“What are you talking about?” I couldn’t even get up. “Whatever it is, let’s talk about it in a proper manner.”

“Still acting? This whole time, I thought you were hired by me. Who would’ve thought that you’re part of Yao Youfan’s team? Tell me what she wants you to do! Did you purposely get close to me to find out my weakness? Then, you’ll force me out of my position?”

“I think there’s some misunderstanding going on.” I wasn’t sure why Xu Chuqiao was acting like this, but I definitely couldn’t allow this misunderstanding to continue. “I’m not from Yao Youfan’s team! Release me first and we can talk.”

Xu Chuqiao coldly snorted, “You’re still denying it? My people told me you and the marketing manager Suyang are in a relationship. How dare you lie about it?”

“What kind of logic is that? Where did you hear this from?”

“I have photos as proof. Someone snapped a shot of you two entering the same apartment building together. I urge you to explain yourself while I still have patience. Or else, I am not going to go easy on you even though you’re female!”

Xu Chuqiao began to tighten his hands around my neck. I was having trouble breathing.
