After what seemed like forever, the discussion came to an end. His legs were trembling. CEO Chu did not earn his reputation of being swift and decisive for nothing.
“See you next time then, CEO Chu” The other party quickly left.
Chu Yichen nodded and leaned back in his chair. He picked up the phone on the table and made a call.
At the apartment
Li An’an was removing her makeup. It felt terrible to have so much foundation on her face. Chu Yichen’s call came in just as she was done washing her face.
She dried her face on a towel and answered the phone.
“CEO Chu, what’s the matter?”
“Where are you?” Chu Yichen’s spoke with a low drawl.
“At home. I’m on leave today and haven’t woken up yet. I’m going to sleep in.”
In order to make Chu Yichen less suspicious, Li An’an bounced on the bed a few times.
“Still in bed.” Chu Yichen’s voice was a little hoarse. He took a sip of coffee slowly.
“Yes, my quilt is so warm, so I want to sleep more” Li An’an sniffed at Baobao’s scent on the blanket and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Chu Yichen would never be able to experience how fragrant and nice Baobao smelled.
“You didn’t go out earlier on?”
Li An’an was taken aback. “No, of course not. I’ve been sleeping. Why do you ask?”
Chu Yichen did not hear any guilt in her voice. “Nothing much. I just saw a woman’s back view that looked a little like yours. I was just asking.”
“Oh, really? You’re not at the villa?”
“I had a meeting at a coffee shop downtown.”
Li An’an almost shrieked. Chu Yichen was actually at that cafe too, and his suspicion was roused. No, she had to get rid of his suspicion. “Of course it wasn’t me. You called me just to confirm this? Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up. That person really isn’t me. I still want to sleep.”
She sounded as if it had nothing to do with her.
Chu Yichen was silent for a few seconds. “It really wasn’t you?” Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?
“Of course not. Besides, if I saw you there, I would have run up to you in the first instance. How could I pretend not to see you?”
“Run up to me?” Chu Yichen raised his voice. “Then why don’t you ever take the initiative to call me? You don’t sound trustworthy.”
“I’m a girl. I have to be reserved. I hope CEO Chu understands that women are very reserved in front of the man they like.”
“Does that mean you like me?”
“No doubt about it!” Chu Yichen laughed lightly. It was hard to tell if he believed it or not. Li An’an almost bit her tongue. Why was Chu Yichen such a shameless man? However, in order to prevent him from suspecting her and investigating the matter further, she could only sacrifice herself. Anyway, these were just words.
“Well then, CEO Chu, I’ll continue my beauty sleep.”
“Uh huh.”
Li An’an quickly hung up.
What was wrong with Chu Yichen? If he weren’t handsome enough, rich enough, not able to find a wife, and did not have a lover throwing herself at him, that was his own problem! Why did he always make things difficult for her?
Chu Yichen stood up and got ready to leave.
Secretary Bess came over. “CEO, what color gown should I prepare for the weekend banquet?” Bess was looking forward to the event. Although she was only there for work, she was filled with happiness every time she could stand beside Chu Yichen openly.
Chu Yichen informed her, “There’s no need for you to go this time round. I already have someone in mind.”
Bess was stunned for a moment before she regained her composure. “Yes,
CEO.”
The CEO had chosen another woman, but she was just a secretary. She was not qualified to stand by his side. She knew this long ago, just that she could not accept the fact. In the past, she was the one who accompanied him, but this time, it was someone else.. Was it the woman she saw in the office the other day?
