After our conversation was over, I moved into the room where I woke up the last time when he kidnapped me. I had mixed feelings of being there, but I could bear with them. Then finally had some rest.
For the next few days, nothing interesting happened except that Kang Xianliang proved his claim to be a tyrant. He forced me to have meals with him and took pictures for Weibo. According to his words, people should see how strong our feelings were. I agreed with his logic, but why should I be the one who did it? To this question, he said condescendingly it would be below his man's dignity. Only women spent so much time on social networks gossiping about other people’s lives and showing off with theirs. Hearing this incredible statement, I wasted a few seconds preparing contra argument but decided to keep quiet at the end. It would be a waste of my breath to try and pour some common sense in this man.

‘’Did I interrupt something?’’ I put on a knowing smile and watched how her face paled with horror. Badmouthing the boss’s woman wasn’t a good decision from the start, but the boss’s woman hearing you personally was even worse.‘’Good morning, Miss McCarner.’’ That was the other woman participating in the earlier conversation. I smiled politely at her without the ridicule I held for her colleague. She didn’t say anything bad about me and even was frankly surprised when she heard the gibberish the first one said. I had a good feeling for people like her.‘’Miss McCarner, since how long have you been listening?’’ I raised my brows at the impudent question of the first one. Not only she talked behind my back, but she also had the guts to question me like I was her subordinate.
After a few days of sleepless nights, I finally narrowed down my list of suspects. I focused on the parties involved in the construction project. Kang Enterprise as the landowner had a contract with a building contractor which was supposed to carry out and complete the work for the new neighbourhood. Everything was going fine until there was a shortage of materials. Kang Enterprise had to add the additional sum of money which they did after a request of the project manager. However, there came a problem.After checking the accounts of the company, I found out that indeed the money provided for the new materials were properly listed. However, the project manager somehow decided to buy lower grade materials even when he had money to buy the better ones. I had to hack his computer in order to find which ones he chose. Making sure I have proper proofs against him; I went to the office of Kang Xianliang. I found him having a video
The noisy club music thundered in my ears and made my heart beat faster. I was making my way through the crowd evading the dancing bodies of women and men. However, no matter how careful I was, there were still people who acted bolder than they could afford. I was just passing by a random male when he caught my wrist and pulled me towards his chest. The smell of whiskey hit me right in the face not long after. Wrinkling my nose in displeasure, I did my best to break free from his grip. Unfortunately for me, he didn’t get my hint that I wasn’t interested in him.‘’Hello, what is a sexy chick like you doing alone?’’ His flirtatious voice was next to my ear. The music was so loud that people normally had no choice but to get close to each other when they wanted to speak. However, this fel
Undoubtedly, he was drunk. Had he been in his right mind, he would never say something like this. I rolled my eyes, feeling irritation and asked with a voice saturated with irony.‘’Are you sure you want this? As far as I know, you are on a date right now. What will happen when your woman come back?’’ He didn’t look bothered by my words in the slightest. He smiled with a relaxed posture, with his teeth shining like a demon due to the dim light.‘’Why does that bother you? Because you have high morals or because I’m not attractive enough?’’ Concerning the second part of the question, I refused to comment. Knowing how much time I spent fantasizing about him in my previous life and how deep my feelings were, of course, my attraction caused part of them to him. He was a handsome man, after all. Tall, well-built with light brown hair and a mischievous smile. His
After I left the club, I didn’t go back to Kang Xianliang’ place. It could be said that we had a fight regarding this project manager, and he angered me so much I didn’t want to see his d*mn face for the rest of my life. No matter how much I begged, promised and argued, he was adamant in his decision to kill the guy. That’s why I wanted to ask Leonardo for help. I hoped he would listen to me and grant my request; however, I underestimated his lack of empathy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t blame him. Since the beginning, this was my mess, and I had to fix it. He wasn’t responsible for my mistakes.But knowing that didn’t mean I would feel less frustrated. Right now, my emotions spiralled out of control. I wanted to hit something really hard until I pour all my anger into it. Even if it were painful, I wouldn’t care. I used all my willpower not to slam the taxi’s door when it stopped in front of Yan’s mansion. Smiling fals
The snowflakes slowly danced like ballerinas making pirouettes in the night sky shining like countless little diamonds. I watched their journey to the ground, mesmerized by the tranquillity they brought to the depths of my soul. Spring was my favourite season, but only the winter's snow gave me some sense of peace and calmness. If only it weren’t that cold, it would hold number one favourite instead. But, right now, the biting frost didn’t bother me in the same way as it did before. I couldn’t feel my hand or the toes of my legs, and my nose surely was as red as an apple. However, I couldn’t stop watching the street light, which illuminated the snowflakes. It was hard to part with the feeling of serenity.However, I had no other choice but to do it. Slowly, I changed the direction of my gaze from the light to the two-storey house behind it. It was late into the night, and the house was dark and quiet. I
Early in the morning, my phone started ringing. It took some time until my sleepy mind registered that somebody called me because they wanted to talk with me. However, even though I finally realised it, I still refused to grab it and pick up the call. Recently I had trouble sleeping. No matter if I tried to sleep during the night with lights on or during the day, I just couldn't. I was so desperate that I tried to sleep in full darkness, which I didn't do since the time was reversed. I only felt drifting to sleep three hours ago, which was five in the morning. So, which monster wanted to wake me up so early at eight o'clock?Disgruntled, I reached out and accepted the call. The not so pleasant voice of that man came through it."I want you in my office in half an hour." Before I had time to tell him to f*ck off, he hung up to me. I blinked slowly, contemplating whether I should listen to him. Nah, my sleep was more important.However, thanks to him, I couldn't d
