Chapter 45 – She Can’t Get Attracted To Him.
Li Xue did not mind the words said by the secretary because it was his job to follow the words of his Boss. This topic was something she had to deal directly with the man in the talk itself. It was his fault for letting the people think in that way. Why should she blame someone when the culprit of the whole scene was someone else?
Looking at Gao Fan opening the door of the office, the woman took a deep breath inside as she said internally, 'Mr. Beelzebub, you better keep your explanation ready!'
Li Xue took her steps inside only to find the man sitting on his chair behind the big desk all calm and composed, like no one else was there in this world apart from him and now she has trespassed his world without his knowledge.
Sitting there with so much elegance, he looked like some masterpiece drawn by God to make the whole world envy. His looks were enough to shame the top models of this world, and the aura he carries was enough to let people know what formidable identity he has.
Li Xue paused in her steps to admire him, forgetting all about the reason she has come to him with. Looking at him like this, now she understood why people said that 'the handsomeness of a man goes to the peak of the world when he is all focused at his work'. She felt her heart drop a beat when stared at the scene for a little longer.
Her heart sighed internally, 'How good would it be if I have given a job to just stare at him'. But with those words from her heart, her brain reprimanded her, 'Girl wake up! You are not here to ogle him. Don't listen to your heart or you will be ruined'
At the sudden interruption of her brain's voice, Li Xue was snapped back. She was in the midst of composing herself back when suddenly she heard him say, "Are you satisfied after ogling me for so long?"
The woman was frozen for a second, then began coughing hard trying to take down the fact that she had been caught red handedly. Her coughs got severe turning her fair white skin all red, she thought of looking around for a glass of water but before even she could raise her eyes, a glass was presented in front of her.
She has no time to look or think of the person, who has presented her the water. She took it and gulped it down in one go. A wide palm gently patted her back to soothe her with utmost concern. "Are you fine?"
His voice felt firm and resolute, similar to his personality but there was also a hint of concern deep into it, which may not be audible to her ears if he wasn't standing at such close distance.
She lifted her eyes to look at him and her heart again skipped a beat. She blinked her eyes innocently, not understanding the feeling she was having inside being so close to him.
"Are you fine?" Feng Shufen repeated his question again, his voice becoming smoother than before, filled with more warmth and tenderness.
Suddenly Li Xue felt a wave of judder pass through her, making her come back to the earth after visiting her dreamyland. She quickly stepped a little back to create the distance between them, "Yeah! I am fine. I didn't know this cough would go severe. Sorry for bothering President Feng". She composed herself back formally.
She almost reprimanded herself of the thoughts, she was having moments before. Was she getting charmed by this man? No, no this can't happen. Li Xue, get a hold of yourself. You can't get attracted to him. He is not any man to begin with, he was the Feng Shufen.
It wouldn't have been a problem if this was for some man who was just a little handsome like him. But this man's beauty was something that can't be defined in any word. Though she knew that she was beautiful but in comparison to him, no beauty stood a chance to be beside him.
And more importantly, she can't be this blatant with her feelings anymore when she already has someone whom she loves with all her life.
Her angelic little daughter.
She shrugged her thoughts and looked at the man who was looking at her like he was able to read all her thoughts and behavior. To make his eyes leave her, she quickly adjusted herself at her place and repeated her words, "I am fine!"
The man hummed in response and took the glass from her hand to keep her aside. Being the CEO and her boss, this wasn't his job to do but he wanted to do it for her. Li Xue seemed not to notice any unusuality in his actions, maybe because she has never faced any boss in front of her like this. So she was still not immune to being all formal and polite in her behavior.
As he turned to look back at her, he was about to say something when the woman charged on him with her words, not giving him any chance to speak. Her formal politeness was already put at the back of her head like it has never been in her.
"President Feng, sorry to say this to you but you really need to work hard on the usage of your words and expressions. The words you used are bound to create confusion in people's heads. Can you not be a little more clear in your words before? It had created so many misunderstanding rumors around us" she said everything in her one breath not noticing the amusing smile playing on the man's face as he stepped forward towards her.
She was so focused on her rambling that without her cognizance Feng Shufen already got just a step before her. And the moment she was hit with the realization, her breath was already taken away making her stumble in her position.
Li Xue thought she would be falling hard on the ground when she lost her footing. Bracing herself for the pain, she closed her eyes making herself all ready and prepared. But before she could take the fall, a strong arm wrapped around her, stabling her in the air.
Feeling that careful touch wrap around her, she opened her eyes all of a sudden only to get greeted by the pair of shiny sterling gray eyes. Her eyes got locked with his as she said in a hurried tone, Mr. Beelzebub … ahh I mean Mr. Feng … nope it's President Feng … I am … I ….", her head all muddled, not able to form any sensible sentence.
"Shhhhh …. You really talk too much", he said, placing a finger close to her lips. "Do you behave like this in front of everyone or have you considered me someone special to show this side of yours?" He asked the question that intrigued him for quite some time now.
