Chapter 82 - Pastry (2/2)

Xi Jian's piercing gaze didn't leave her. ”Who are you talking to?” he sat on the patient bed but Ling Yue's eyes did not travel to him at all. Hearing Xi Jian's word, Ling Yue raised her head and her eyes collided with Xi Jian's beast-like eyes watching his prey.

”W-what?” Ling Yue stammered.

Xi Jian could not help but remain silent. He stood up and heaped his body weight on his uninjured leg. Ling Yue who saw what the man was doing hurried over to him. She gripped Xi Jian's arm. ”What are you doing?” her voice sounded worried. She pushed Xi Jian to sit down again. ”Where are you going? I will call the nurse for a wheel ch--” She was surprised when Xi Jian sneak his arm around her waist.

”Where have you been?” Xi Jian gazed at her sharply. ”I told you your job was here. But you haven't appeared in three days.”

Ling Yue felt all her blood gather on her face. She tried to support herself by holding onto Xi Jian's shoulder to breaking free. Despite being injured, Xi Jian's grip really strong.

”I--I have a lot of work in the office, so I can't come here.”

”Does that matter include chatting with other employees?” Xi Jian snickered.

Ling Yue stopped struggling and looked at him. ”Of course! How can I work without interacting with others?” Xi Jian's words sounded stupid.

”You can only interact with me. I'm your boss.” rather than realizing her current position, Ling Yue was more focused on Xi Jian's utterances which were increasingly out of mind. ”That can't be! My scope isn't just in your circle.”

Ling Yue realized as Xi Jian tightened and pulled her closer. ”and ... let me go! What are you doing?”

A noise from outside made both of them turn their heads together. A minute later, a guard entered, seeing Ling Yue and Xi Jian's position, he lowered his gaze.

”A woman claimed ... uhmm ... close to you ... forced in. What should we do?” the guard said it carefully, doubt appeared in his heart. If the woman outside claims to be their master's woman, then who is now in his boss's arm? He has never seen his boss with a woman even outside of business. He was more certain that the woman inside was more rightly called the woman's boss, even though her being was still a little...weird.

”I don't have someone like that, just kick her out.” without asking what her name was, Xi Jian gave his order. Ling Yue used this opportunity to escape his embrace.
