Chapter 2: 2

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xia Jin came out of Huo Jue’s office covered with cold sweat. It was as if she had just been pulled up from the water by someone.

She gritted her teeth and pondered for a while. In the end, she ran to the lounge to pick up the pocket knife on the table and place it in her bag. She can’t just sit still and wait if she was really going to be in danger!

As night fell, Huo Jue took Xia Jin with him. Xia Jin was met with a lot of sympathetic and worried gazes when leaving.

It seemed that Zhou Qi’s reputation was so notorious and everyone knew that she was going to be in grave danger.

When they walked to the entrance, Huo Jue’s personal car was already parked outside. Xia Jin took a deep breath, and cold air filled her lungs.

The two of them got into the car, and no one spoke for a while.

After some time, Huo Jue spoke.

“The HR department said that you went to check your induction contract?”

As Huo Jue’s tone was flat, Xia Jin could not guess what he meant by saying that.

She nodded reluctantly. “Yes, my contract is for five years. I went to take a look as I forgot when I have joined.”

Huo Jue’s half-closed eyes opened upon hearing her words. He swept his gaze over her face faintly. “I thought you were thinking of finding another job because you believe that the Huo Corporation didn’t pay you well.”

“How can that be? The salary you offered me is already very generous.” Xia Jin chose her words carefully and without revealing her true thoughts.

In fact, she did plan to leave the company.

She was still young and naive when she came to Huo Jue’s side five years ago. She believed that Huo Jue somehow had a place for her inside his heart, as he was willing to keep her by his side.

After five years, Xia Jin knew clearly that this man was not serious with her in the slightest.

What kind of secretary can’t Huo Jue not find?

Xia Jin’s only value to him was probably her body, which Huo Jue could enjoy with excitement at night.

Five years was a girl’s precious youth. Even if she gave it all to Huo Jue, it did not mean that she wanted to waste the rest of her life on this man.

Soon, the car stopped, and they got off the car. Several managers and representatives of their partners were already waiting for them in front of the hotel.

Xia Jin could feel a pair of sticky, disgusting eyes glued on her ever since she got out of the car.

She did not dare to look up, as she was afraid that she would meet the eyes of that person’s gaze.

She decided to lie low and play dead.

“Long time no see, President Huo!” An energetic man’s voice rang out, and a pair of hands reached out in front of Huo Jue.

Huo Jue politely shook hands with the other party, and they entered the hotel suite.

After Xia Jin entered, Zhou Qi stood next to her in an exceptionally gentlemanly manner and pulled out a chair for her. “This beautiful lady, please have a seat.”

At the same time, Zhou Qi had already placed his other hand on her waist.

It seemed like he was inviting her to take a seat, but in reality, he was trying to take advantage of her.　

Xia Jin’s face darkened slightly, but she forced herself to endure it. She quickly sat down, avoiding any further physical contact with Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi could see Xia Jin’s reluctance, but he was unconcerned. Moreover, a hint of excitement even appeared in his eyes.

After she sat down, she looked in the direction of Huo Jue.

Huo Jue was sitting opposite her, propping his forehead on his hand lazily. He was half-leaning against the back of his chair, seemingly not having to see Zhou Qi’s actions on her just now.

Her heart sank.

She touched the pocket knife in her jacket pocket carefully and felt a little more at ease. It seemed that Huo Jue was not going to help her, so she could only rely on herself.

A trace of hatred flashed through her heart. Although Xia Jin knew that harassment in the workplace was a common occurrence, she was still aggrieved over Huo Jue’s indifference.

She did not hold any expectations for Huo Jue. However, seeing that he was not even willing to give her the slightest bit of decency, she grew more despondent and exasperated.

Then, Huo Jue and Zhou Qi started engaging in a conversation about business cooperation. They did not talk for long before Zhou Qi’s drifted back to Xia Jin again.

“President Huo’s secretary is so beautiful. I wonder if President Huo can do me a favor and let Miss Xia come to my company?”

Xia Jin’s heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists nervously and looked at Huo Jue uneasily.

When Huo Jue heard his words, he smiled faintly and the corners of his lips curled up. “She has been with me for five years. She might not be willing if the conditions offered by President Zhou’s conditions aren’t good.”

Five years?! Huo Jue had toyed around with a woman for five years?

Zhou Qi looked at Xia Jin with a hint of contempt and some curiosity.

He felt that it was more or less unappealing, since Huo Jue had toyed with her for five years.

However, a woman that Huo Jue frolicked with for five years must have something special about her, and perhaps she could bring him some excitement.

As Zhou Qi thought of this, his eyes lit up with excitement immediately.

“Miss Xia, my glass is empty. Please fill it up for me.” Even though Xia Jin tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, Zhou Qi still had no intention of letting her go.

Xia Jin gritted her teeth. When she raised her head, her expression had already returned to a cold and distant look.

She stood up and refilled Zhou Qi’s glass.

“Bring it over to me.” Zhou Qi sat lazily in his chair. His eyes darkened, and he used a more oppressive tone, seeing that Xia Jin kept the distance between them.

Xia Jin took a deep breath and cast a glance at Huo Jue from the corner of her eyes. Huo Jue was casually holding his glass and slowly shaking the wine in it. He did not have the slightest intention of stopping Zhou Qi.

Xia Jin’s body stiffened for a moment. Then, she stepped forward to hand the wine glass to Zhou Qi.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi suddenly grabbed Xia Jin’s wrist and pulled her into his arms.

The wine glass trembled violently in her hands. Unfortunately, the wine was spilled all over his pants, and she fell into his arms.

Zhou Qi declared in a surprised tone, “Miss Xia, why did you trip over accidentally? My clothes are all wet because of you. Miss Xia, please accompany me to the lounge for me to change my clothes.”

Xia Jin’s face instantly paled upon hearing his words.

She would be in danger if she went to the lounge with Zhou Qi!

The man’s lascivious eyes flitted across her body, causing goosebumps to rise all over her body.

Seeing that Xia Jin did not move, Zhou Qi tightened his grip on her hand. His tone was a little gloomy. “Why, do you need to ask Mr. Huo?”

With that, he turned to look at Huo Jue, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.

Huo Jue put down his glass and said in a flat and cold tone, “Since you’ve caused trouble, go and help Mr. Zhou.”

Xia Jin’s heart plummeted.

Before she could even gather her emotions, Zhou Qi pulled her up by her waist. Then, he dragged her towards the door impatiently.

There were many department heads in the room, but no one came out to help when seeing her in this situation..
