“You’re planning to escape and not admit what we’ve done?”

The man’s voice, as he had just woken up, was hoarse yet sexy. This immediately made Xia Zhiwan recall how the man whispered to her when he was on top of her last night. She was so embarrassed that she curled into his arms like a shy kitten.

“I don’t mean that… Thank you for saving me, but we can’t do this.”

“We can’t? Do you hate me?”

“I don’t hate you…” Xia Zhiwan said as she looked away.

The man had taken advantage of her and took away her precious first time. If it was another man, she would have fought with him. However, if it was Issac, she would not feel hateful toward him even if she felt regretful and embarrassed.

Issac smiled slightly, and his dark eyes were as gentle as the early spring’s greenery.

“That means you like me. You like me, right?”

Even Issac did not realize that his usually steady heart was beating nervously as he waited for her answer.

Just as Xia Zhiwan was thinking about a way to answer him, she met the man’s confident eyes and immediately had a thought.

Why should she tell him her thoughts so stupidly? It would be embarrassing!

“It’s already eye-catching enough when you made me the general manager. Everyone was guessing if I used some dirty tactics to get the position. If you do this… Then won’t it make people gleeful, thinking their guesses were right?!”

Issac held her against his chest casually as his long, fair fingers wrapped and played around with her soft hair. He then widened his eyes and said, “Who’ll dare to judge you? I’ll just deal with them if they do.”

He was talking about it so lightly, but Xia Zhiwan sighed wearily.

It was her fault that she was too eager to gain quick success. She did not analyze the situation properly before going out, causing her to be caught in others’ traps. If her ambiguous relationship with the new chairman was known by others, she would definitely be criticized and gossipped about again!

Xia Zhiwan wanted to find an excuse to leave, but the man had caught on to her thoughts one step earlier. His hands were like iron handcuffs locking her onto the bed.

“You, let go of me! I’ll still need to get out of bed!” She said as she struggled.

Her struggling had rubbed onto Issac’s sensitive area, and her warm, naked body was giving out a tempting scent.
