Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

She didn't even finish the sentence before her feet started to wave as well. However, the couch was not as big as the bed. "Bang." She fell hard onto the floor when she twisted fiercely. "Ouch!" Jean held onto her hips and stood up. She opened her eyes slowly. When she finally opened her eyes, a man in black suit was standing in front of her. He was like a statue, unmoving. Jean raised her head slowly, Zed stood with his handsome face full of gloom.

He looked so terrifying at the moment. Then his cold and low voice came into her ears.

"What did you just say?"

Jean rubbed her eyes and replied with a sleepy voice, "You're back."

"I asked what you said just now." He continued to ask her as the coldness in his eyes gradually increased.

"Did I say anything?" She had totally forgotten to settle the score with him. He made her wait for almost a whole evening and she didn't even eat anything.

Now that he was finally back, she couldn't find the courage to say it.

"You said you were going to kick me to death?" He said word by word with a freezing tone.

Jean was shocked. She looked at him, surprised.

She was a little groggy but hearing these words, she was widely awake. She shook her head, "When did I said I was going to kick you to death? Don't put words in my mouth." She replied while remaining stunned.

It seemed like she was dreaming earlier. In her dream, she scolded Zed harshly.

And she even claimed to kick him far away. Maybe she shouted out in her sleep and that exposed her. He just happened to hear what she said?

"Heh, heh, heh..." She smiled stupidly as she rubbed her hips. She kept blinking her eyes and looked up to the ceiling, "How come my hips hurt so much? It must because I fell down from the couch!"

She nodded to herself and walked towards the door quickly.

She hadn't forgotten to pick up her bag while she headed to the door. She wanted to leave this house as soon as possible now

Because she didn't know what would happen to her the next minute.

However, before she could make it to the door, heavy footsteps lurked behind her. Zed sped up towards her. Before she knew it, he pulled her by the hand forcibly.

Jean lost her balance and fell backwards.

She was expecting herself to have, yet another intimate contact with the ground so she quickly covered her buttocks with one of her hand and anticipated the landing. However, she only fell half way through and was now suspended in mid air. A pair of powerful arms surrounded her and pulled her into his arms quickly. Jean's delicate face clashed onto his sturdy chest and she gave a yelp. She lifted her head up to look at Zed.

Zed lowered his head at the same time and they came to a halt. Both had direct eye contact with each other.

Jean just gazed at him and saw that his deep eyes were as attractive as bright stars.

His thin and red lips were so tempting that she wanted to bite them. However, his handsome face was extremely cold now.

Suddenly, she sniffed at him and frowned, "Have you been drinking?"

"Is it strange to be drinking?"

"Um... No!" She shook her head and tightened her lips. Wearing a plastic smile, she said, "Can you let go of me?"

"Let go of you for?" He asked with doubts.

"What are you going to do if you don't let go of me?" Jean frowned. 'Would he force himself on me?'

"The company's promotional video deadline is coming soon." He said in an exceptionally relaxed tone with a sinister smile.

Jean was baffled for a while. Then it dawned on her, he wanted to let her...

Sonny would be back in two days and she had to speed up too.

She cooked such a fancy dinner to please Zed this evening but he didn't even come back in time for it.

She rolled her eyes, "Even if the deadline is close, if you don't corporate, how can I..." After she replied, she realized something and her face flushed hard. Zed's words were already implying that. Did she just dig her own grave? "Hmm? Aren't I cooperating now?" He was smiling and his eyes were bright.

She really wanted to kick Zed to death there and then. He had dug a hole for her to jump into.

She was so embarrassed. She didn't want to reply him. Her face flushed all the way to her ears.

In the mist of her embarrassment and shame, a gurgling noise interrupted her moment.

They both paused. The noise resounded itself after a while. Only then did Jean realize it originated from her stomach.

Zed let her go and his face returned to it's usual gloom. He parted his lips slightly, "If you were hungry, why didn't go ahead and eat first?"

Jean noticed his softness but she raised her eyebrows and pretended to be a victim, "Your cellphone was turned off. I didn't know when you were going to come back so I waited for you. But I fell asleep while I was waiting."

Her acting was bad. There was no way Zed would fell for it. He chose not to expose her. Instead, he took off his coat and found a comfortable position to rest on the couch. "What a coincidence. I'm hungry as well." "Huh?"

"Do you need me to repeat it?" He gave her an impatient glance.

"Okay." Jean turned around in disappointment, "I'll heat up the food on the table."

"Throw them away."

"Throw away?" Jean turned around and got angry, "It took me several hours to have the dishes cooked. How can I throw them away?"

"If the steaks are heated up again, do you think the flavor will be good? As for the side dishes on the table, they are just here to boost appetite. Since I am hungry now, there's no need for it. So, if you heat up all the food, the flavor will be worse and it's also a waste of time."

Jean couldn't find anything against him somehow.

All the food on the table was thrown away in the end. After cleaning that up, she stood in the kitchen and thought in silence. All the ingredients had been used up, what else do they have for dinner now?

After checking the kitchen, she found that there's only noodles left. Hence, Jean cooked the noodles.

They ate the noodles up quickly. Just like two days before, she went to run a bath for Zed.

After she adjusted the water temperature, she sat on the side of the bathtub.

If she couldn't persuade Zed today, Sonny would know of the problem when he returned. Jean would probably be fired on the spot.

She finally got a job and lost it because of this? If she was really fired, she hoped that she wouldn't ruin the reputation of Sonny and the company.

But things weren't over until the results were out.

"What are you doing by sitting here in a daze?" Zed's voice surprised Jean who was lost in her thoughts. She fell backwards and into the warm water in the bathtub. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
