Chapter 6 - 6. Her XuanXuan.... (2/2)
His strong pheromones made her mind go blank.
Deep inside her, that small flicker ignited into a wildfire.
There was a storm rising in her usually tranquil eyes and his tight hug was making it worse.
She wanted to return the hug when, he professed in his low voice: ”Linlin, thank you. You're the best”..... she restrained herself.
She knew 'it' was something he did when he was happy, the hug was a pure form of showing his dependence on her, a sorrowful glint flashed through her eyes for a second but it remained there just for a minuscule of a second.
She returned to herself, hiding the storm, in the deepest part of her heart for the Nth time.
She took a deep breath calming herself and her eyes were back to normal.
She lightly patted his back, her eyes imbued with warmth, she turned into the 'person' XuanXuan saw in herself and expected her to be.
Her voice became soft and gentle:” Anything for you, my prince.”
”hehe..” he giggled and let her go.
.......
Just as they were leaving his room, she remembered her encounter with Uncle Feng.
She turned around to look at the man who was adjusting his cuff links: ”Tomorrow we'll be going to meet grandpa, is that okay with you?”
Even though she knew he had no work tomorrow and never said no to her arrangements, she still made it a habit to inform him about it before deciding everything, after all, he wasn't a single man anymore; her fingers twitched when the thought passed her mind.
”hmm..okay. It's already decided, right?” He always went according to her plans, it was not a matter of questioning her decisions because he, himself wanted to depend on her and hence, gave her the right to decide for himself, well, she knew him better than anyone else anyway.
”No, it's not.” She lied.
She had made the decision because she knew his schedule and knew he had not much to do, she failed to remember that she was not the only person who could consider his plans for or more like she wanted to forget 'her' existence.
”It alright, I have no plans for tomorrow.” He gave a nod as an affirmation
Her shoulders, which she didn't know had stiffened from this, relaxed.
....
They were inside his office now....
He was going through the same materials from a while ago.
Just before she went out she notified him in a flat tone[I want her to use her doting voice from earlier...QAQ] : ”Sir, the meeting might take some time. You only need to sign the papers I've put on your table before you go to the dinner meeting. The client asked it to be private so, I won't be following you there.” His grip, on the file, tightened.
She didn't notice the change and continued: ” All the required files for the meeting are inside the upper drawer, please skim through them. I'll be in the office after the meeting is over so, if you need me for anything just give me a call, I'll be right there.” When she said that, his grip loosened a bit.
”hmm, got it. Anything else?” he asked
”No, sir. I wish you a good day.” she went out closing the door.
Because she had her back turned to him when she opened the door she failed to see the playful glint that passed through his eyes when she left.
'Won't be with me, is it?'
