For a moment, I was so confused that I didn't understand what was going on. Had Xin actually kissed my lips?When I came back to my senses, I was filled with anger. “You!“ I said it angrily and lifted my hand to slap him. How could he shamelessly take advantage of me like that?However, I gasped when he held my hand, even before it could land on me. He chuckled and pressed me against the wall.And for the second time, he forced a kiss on my lips. I tried to push him away, but he held my other hand and pinned them behind my back.His movement on my lips turned rougher as he bit on my lower lip. The pain was too much, and I felt like crying.I tried to speak, but he was only swallowing the sounds I made. I did not know whether he enjoyed the kiss or if he was just trying to show me that he was in control.When he pulled away, I was out of breath. I took in a huge gulp of air and trembled. Noo! I didn't want to believe that that was happening.“You…” I tried to speak, but Xin suddenly re
For some unknown reason, my heart began beating faster. Even though he sounded ridiculous, I still felt like he was being soft towards me.But I raised my face to look at him. “Uh?“ I asked. Did he ask me to go over? It was already fine that I was in his voice.“Did something happen to your ears? I asked you to come hear,” he said, his expression changing.I was scared that things would get worse if he got angry. Anyway, it didn't bite to stand just a bit closer to him.I moved a step forward and looked at him. "President Xin, is there anything you want me to do for you?“ I asked with pursed lips. I began regretting my decision to go to his office from the very beginning.All the time, Xin had his eyes fixed on me. He slightly leaned forward and nodded his head. “Yes, secretary Yan. I have something very important that I want you to do,” he said.I sighed in relief. If he really had something for me to do, then he wasn't going to do anything inappropriate.“Why are you still standing t
Xin was looking at me like I was his greatest enemy. He looked like he wanted to kill me that instant.I was still confused about what to say when Skye rushed towards us. “You! How could you raise your hands at him? I am going to teach you a good lesson."She raised her hands, ready to slap me. All I could do was stand frozen in place. And as I waited for the slap to land, I closed my eyes. I could not do anything stupid again.However, a loud sound was heard, but I did not feel any pain. I opened my eyes in confusion, only to see Skye's hand interjected by Xin. I felt more lost.“What are you doing?“ Xin asked her coldly. It was very surprising that he could stop her from hitting me. Wasn't he supposed to be happy that someone was teaching me a lesson?Skye also looked shocked. “What? She hit you! I want to put her in her place,” she said, breathing fire. I was sure that I would have passed out if she had actually hit me. With her level of anger, she would have used all her strength.
I felt embarrassed by his question. Why couldn't I hit him again? Wouldn't I be seeking death?I looked away from him, trying very hard not to make any sound. For the first time, I even wished that Skye would be around.Xin held my chin and turned my face so that I was looking at him. “What? Are you scared now?“ He asked, a smile appearing at the corner of his face. “Or, maybe, are you now comfortable with me kissing you now?“I hurriedly shook my head. “Leave me alone,” I said, and I tried pushing him away, but he pushed her against the wall and kissed her again.He then caressed her lips and looked directly into her eyes. “Do you know what, Isabel? I like it when you try resisting me,” he said.His words shocked me. Was that why he always forced me to do things against his will?I wanted to speak up, but the door was pushed open. An old man walked in, and Xin hurriedly pulled away from me.For some reason, he seemed scared. He looked at me tensely before turning to look at the old m
The old man looked at Xin and scoffed. “Don't take me for a fool, grandson! I saw your eyes on her,” he said, and he proceeded to take a seat. “You can fool me all you want, but I swear not to spare her if anything happens.“A certain coldness washed over Xin's back. He knew exactly what his grandfather meant. He was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head. “Grandpa, I am not interested in something that I dumped in the past. I just think that I have some use for her,” he said.The old man creased his brows. “What do you mean? She is just a useless village girl who only knows how to cry,” he said. He didn't like the girl at all.Xin pursed his lips, his hands clenching into fists under the table. He did not like it when anyone else ridiculed Isabel. He was the only one who was allowed to do it.However, when he lifted his eyes, he looked so calm. “That's what everyone thinks. But she might be here on a mission. And if we are not careful enough, we might regret it later on,” h
Skye pursed her lips. “Um, I came to remind you that we have a business lunch with a client at one,” she said.She knew that if she went on talking about Isabel, she would only anger Xin.“I will handle it,” Xin said. He still remembered that he had a meeting.“Okay,” Skye said, a look of disappointment on her face. She thought that Xin would ask her to prepare the required documents. Normally, she would be the one to attend such meetings with him.“Ask Birdie to help me prepare everything that I need,” Xin calmly said before going back to work. He did not look annoyed after being hit by Isabel.Swallowing hard and in anger, Skye left the office. She had made up her mind to deal with Isabel before it was too late.…I was feeling so guilty after hitting Xin. Every time I heard someone walking from his office, I felt scared. I was worried that he would do something to me.Moreso, I felt bad that I had to hit him in front of Skye. What if he held it as a grudge against me?Suddenly, the
I looked away from him, but I could tell that he was still looking at me. It made me so uneasy.A few minutes passed, and I felt him moving closer to me. I quickly turned to look at him, ready to defend myself in fear that he would try to hurt me.But I paused midway when he reached for my safety belt and fastened it. A blush appeared on my face. Why was I perverted?He didn't say anything else to me. He quietly drove, even though he would look at me from time to time.And since there was nothing I was doing, I felt idle. To pass time, I decided to go through the files just to make sure that everything was fine. After all, it was also part of my work.And I had reached the fifth page when I realized that something was wrong. A certain page was missing. I felt a little apprehensive.Xin was supposed to use the documents in the meeting. Wouldn't I be in trouble if he found out that the page was missing?And how would I tell him that it was missing? What if he thought that it was just pa
“Xin…” I called unconsciously. What was he talking about? Did he say that his heart ached?Xin turned to look at me in shock, and I felt like I had done something wrong. I looked back at him in confusion.“Did you call me Xin?“ He asked, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips. His grip on my hand also increased.And I blushed. It had been more than five years since I called him that. I didn't know why my tongue had slipped.“Bella…” Xin called and moved closer to me. “Can you call me that often? I miss the life that we had in the past.“My eyes turned teary. Heaven knew how much I missed the same. I missed the time when we were young and he treated me like a real princess.To be honest, at times, whenever he treated me, I wanted to jump into his embrace and hug him tightly, just like I did when I was young.Xin was still looking at my face, and his expression slightly changed. “Do you want to cry? Is something wrong?“ He asked.I shook my head and looked up at him. “What is the m
