35 A CURE FOR A CHRONIC DISEASE (2/2)
”I could not include anyone who would give me a bad review. You know how much I wanted to work closely with you.” She flattered him shamelessly.
Zhong Feng, who did not forget anything, looked at her bright little face staring right at him. His face darkened at her shameless attempts to change the topic. He did not want to force her to speak about it if she did not want to, especially because he had looked into Romanov's past. However, this did not mean that he would let her off.
”What I remember is a person who had not desire to be here. Who is it that said that they did not have enough time?” He spoke with that non-smile that Hu Lei liked and feared.
Big boss, can't you be merciful to your subjects? When I flatter you, you are supposed to forget all my wrong doings, not recall what happened at the beginning of time. Hu Lei could only cry invisible tears in her heart.
”If you have any non-business connection with our new partner, confess and shut it down.” The man continued leaving no opening for refusal. Of course, he wanted to say that she must never have any contact with that despicable person. Fortunately, he still had his wits around him.
Being stared down by the powerful man, the small kitten Lei did not know what to do. In what world would she want to be even remotely connected in any way to that horrible and unappealing man? If it was not her constant bad luck since she was born, would she have met him?
”Do not worry, big boss. He is more likely to be interested in you than in me.” She spoke carelessly while her mind was lost in the contemplation of her bad luck.
”Say that again!” a cold voice brought her back to reality.
She felt a deep trepidation, cursed her stupid mouth and covered her head with her hands pitifully when she realised what she had said without speaking. Someone save me before my life ends! The emperor has gone mad with anger.
”How could I have said anything? Obviously my mouth was closed.” She spoke out loudly.
When everything else failed, denial was the route to go. She would never admit the words which were spoken even if the world ended.
