Ten minutes later, the efficient Secretary Pang had prepared afternoon tea for everyone.
“Yuhua, this is for you. There’s coffee in the pantry, help yourself.” She placed a plate of snacks on He Yuhua’s desk, holding another larger plate in her other hand, with documents tucked under her arm.
“Sister Pang, you don’t need to be so polite…” He Yuhua was overwhelmed with gratitude!
“These were prepared for the CEO, but I bought too many. Help me eat some,” De’s woman said in a casual tone. “By the way, aren’t you concerned about the Vice President? I prepared an extra plate. Why don’t you take it downstairs to him?”
He Yuhua, who had been intimidated by the CEO’s cold face during recent interactions, had decided to shift her admiration to her second idol, Xie Qi’er.
“Stop it, Sister Pang.” He Yuhua’s face turned red. “Thank you.”
“Oh, right.” De’s woman paused before entering the office and turned back. “You should eat this plate first, so you can chat with the Vice President properly later.” And maintain your image in front of the Prince Charming.
Yuhua understood all the unspoken words and shyly nodded.
A mysterious, happy smile curved De’s woman’s lips.
She knew Yuhua wouldn’t touch Xie Qi’er’s plate. Joke! The plates she gave to Xie Qi’er and the one in her hand were carefully selected, concentrated with almost-expired items!
As for why Xie Qi’er had offended her, it was just some old grudges, like wanting to replace the CEO’s secretary with a beautiful one; and unfortunately being a close friend of the detestable Long Jie, which made her vent her anger.
“Sister Pang, you’re so wonderful!” He Yuhua was so grateful she was about to burst into tears. “People say you’re aloof and cold, but they’ve misunderstood you. I’ll definitely clear your name…”
“Uh, no need. I don’t care what people say about me.” She wasn’t about to let her carefully crafted image go up in smoke.
No time to deal with her, De’s woman hurried into the CEO’s office. After two crisp knocks, she entered.
“CEO, you must be hungry?” De’s woman placed a large plate of snacks on his desk. “These are the documents delivered this afternoon, none are urgent. I’ll get you some coffee.”
De’s woman seemed leisurely but moved quickly, giving him no chance to speak. As she walked into the pantry, a smile lingered on her lips.
“What’s making you so happy?” Long Jie’s voice sounded behind her.
“Ah!” De’s woman’s hand slipped while pouring coffee, spilling it on herself.
“Are you burned? Quick!” He grabbed her hand from behind, guiding her to the sink to rinse it quickly.
Fortunately, the coffee wasn’t very hot, and she rinsed quickly, leaving only a faint red mark.
“Does it hurt?” His eyebrows were furrowed, his large palm holding her hand, only now noticing how delicate her hand was.
After all, she was a woman!
The body in his arms was so soft, completely beyond his imagination, making him reluctant to let go. If he wasn’t concerned about her hand, he might have wanted to explore further and see if a wild soul was hidden beneath her dignified exterior.
He knew his interest in her was growing, and he had no intention of suppressing this tendency. With her around, there would be endless entertainment.
“I’m fine!” De’s woman hastily withdrew her hand.
His hand was so big! It could almost completely envelop her, a feeling that made her feel like a small woman, giving her a sense of vulnerability.
She wasn’t sure if she welcomed this feeling.
“You’re not usually this careless,” he frowned, looking at her slightly reddened hand, considering whether to force her to see a doctor.
“Yes, if someone hadn’t scared me from behind, I wouldn’t have been so ‘careless’.” His thick skin was like a wall; she was totally caught by him!
De’s woman didn’t want to engage with him and took a cloth to clean up the mess.
“Is there something I can help you with, CEO?” she asked coldly.
Long Jie’s gaze was already drawn to the cookie and pastry packages in the trash. “Wow, so many snacks. I didn’t realize you like eating these.”
I don’t like them at all!
She suppressed the urge to talk back and continued cleaning up the spilled coffee. When she turned around, she found him about to open the cabinet—
”Don’t open it!” she shouted.
”Why?” He looked innocent, his hand still on the cabinet handle, showing no intention of stopping.
”I…” she stammered.
He looked at her deeply and forcefully opened the cabinet door.
”Crash!” A cabinet full of cookies and pastries once again fell into the embrace of the floor.
De Nü slumped her shoulders. “Didn’t I tell you not to open it?!” Is he the type of kid who does exactly what he’s told not to do? Sigh!
”This…” He was stunned by the scene, picking up the cookies from the floor one by one. “Why are all the boxes unsealed?” He carefully examined them; the corners of each cookie box were missing. Could it be…
He looked at her.
She blushed.
”I… cutting box corners for a lottery is not illegal,” she pouted defensively.
She looked so cute!
Who would have thought the words “cute” could be used to describe De Nü.
He pulled her, and she fell into his arms. Perhaps unexpectedly to both of them, his lips covered hers.
Surprisingly soft and sweet!
The beautiful sensation made him unable to resist tracing her sweet lip line with his tongue. In no time, his slippery tongue darted into her mouth, stirring her pool of honey…
”Mmm…” She couldn’t believe this sound came from her own mouth!
His lips unlocked an important key on her body, causing all her cells to open up. Just one kiss had an overwhelming, crazy effect.
She was stunned.
”Ah! Much sweeter than I imagined, De Nü,” he sighed against her forehead.
”What did you call me?” She opened her eyes and jumped back, covering her mouth with one hand.
”De Nü, darling!” He licked his lips. “Next time, don’t put on so much lipstick; the texture will definitely be better!”
As a result, Long Jie received a fierce kick from her.
This time, who knows who won!
De Nü angrily went home, her cheeks puffed out, as if her mouth was full of suppressed anger with nowhere to release.
Xiao Mi and Xiao Qi curiously peeked at her. After all, De Nü had never lost her composure like this! In their impression, she was the calmest and smartest woman, with nothing that could defeat her!
But clearly, someone was more skilled, actually making her break down!
”De Nü, want a bowl of red bean soup? I just cooked…” Xiao Qi’s originally soft voice stopped when she met her fierce gaze.
”I want it iced!” She needed to cool down! Goodness, that Long surname guy was really…
”Iced…?” Xiao Qi was dumbfounded. “But… it’s just been cooked.” Besides, in such cold weather, who would eat something iced? Could De Nü have gone crazy from anger?
”Then bring me an iced tea!” Xiao Mi slipped into the kitchen, poured a glass of ice water that had been sitting since summer and hadn’t been drunk, and handed it to her.
De Nü gulped it down.
Wow— what a temper! May heaven protect the person who offended her and leave him in one piece!
”Who made you angry?” Xiao Mi sat beside her, smartly maintaining a safe distance.
”It’s that annoying Long…” She swallowed the rest of her words.
”Long? Oh! It can’t be your boss, right?” Xiao Mi understood. Ah! She had experience being bullied by a boss, but this was De Nü—who would dare bully Pang De Nü?
”What did he do?” Xiao Qi’s tone was always soft.
