Chapter 212 - Caged By Your Love (1/2)

-President's Office, Vintage Gems-

"Did you delivered the parcel?" Xu Mey asked Qin Hao who stood before her with his head buried in the tablet computer in his hands. She had meticulously prepared the security footage along with the note for grandmother Jun because Xu Mey knew only she'd be able to persist on the fact that Jun Li Na should get a divorce.

"I delivered the parcel exactly as you asked me to," he answered without looking up at her. He didn't even dare to check the security footage when he was collecting it. It'd be safe to say that poor Qin Hao was traumatized for life by his own boss.

Xu Mey observed his weird behavior and knitted her brows. "Why are you avoiding me?" She knew that he was a simple kind of a person but his behavior got weirder.

"I'm not," his voice came out as a squeak. Feeling the intensity of her gaze increasing, Qin Hao sighed. "Can I ask you something, President Xu?"

Xu Mey raised her brows inquiringly, laced her fingers together to support her chin saying, "Please, do ask!"

"Um... Erm..." Qin Hao took a while before anything coherent could come out of his mouth. "About that video... you showed me earlier..."

"What about it?" Xu Mey urged him to speak up.

Qin Hao cleared his throat. "Why did you punish that guy? I mean... what did he do?"

Xu Mey's eyes stared at Qin Hao and under her scrutinizing gaze, he was sweating profusely. Xu Mey reclined back in her chair and swiveled it to look out the glass wall. "He dared to insult a girl... Not just physically but also, emotionally. He made her feel like her feelings were nothing more than just a joke." Qin Hao could hear the strong sense of resentment in her voice.

He gulped the lump stuck in his throat with difficulty before mumbling to himself, "I should remember not to hurt a girl. Who knows when a devil like her is watching." He gave Xu Mey an odd look before thinking, 'Karma sure is a b*tch!' One thing was clear, for Qin Hao, Xu Mey was akin to karma at the moment.

Hearing her phone's ringtone, Xu Mey waved Qin Hao off and picked up the call. "Hey, Mey!" Fu Shuang voice rang out from the other end in a breezy manner.

"What do you got?" Xu Mey spoke blandly.

"Can you be any more dulcet?" Fu Shuang questioned sarcastically. Xu Mey rolled her eyes at him but obviously, he couldn't see it as he went on vivaciously, "Coming back to the business... It's a mission accomplished!"

"Really? 'Mission Accomplished'? Can you be cornier than this?" Hearing Xu Mey's taunting, Fu Shuang had the urge to remind her that this was her favorite phrase.
