Feng Shufen has never thought that it will be so tough for him to control his desires. But with this woman around, did he really think that it would be easy for him to maintain his composure? It had already been tough for him to control when she kept on rejecting him and now since she has accepted her feelings for him, how can he think that his desires can remain in the reins?
But in no way, he would ever force her or do the things for which she was not ready. Even if he has to …
He was still collecting his strength when suddenly heard a familiar cherry-like, soft, cheerful voice. "Mama, you are here!" As he heard, his body jolted and at once the once hard thing went all normal. Like it has been so normal, all the time.
Sensing the same, Li Xue too got up from his lap, her eyes still trained to look at the man's expression. Feng Shufen looked at the door as if trying to find someone there but there was no one. Suddenly, the sound was played again. "Mama, you are here!".
His eyes instantly snapped to look at the mobile from where the voice was coming. "This …" he started but soon the happenings got its explanations. His eyes turned to look at the woman, who was now standing at the side, holding a pretty smile of achievement over her lips.
When caught the man's eyes on herself, the smile on Li Xue's lips grew more stronger. Her eyes looked at the man as if demanding him to praise her, "Yes, I knew it. I know that it will definitely work on you. Look everything got fine in just an instant". She said with excitement as her eyes got to look at a certain part of the man. It has become all fine under his pants.
Moments passed but the man did not say anything as if he was still contemplating the things the woman has tried on him. When Li Xue sensed his serenity, her heart left an internal scream, 'Li Xue, you are doomed again! You again went to play your tricks around Mr Beelzebub. Now take the consequences'.
When she heard her internal voices, Li Xue palms felt a little clammy. Crap! Mr Beelzebub, I never thought any bad for you. Please don't look at me like I deserved some punishment for the trick I have played. It was for your own good'.
Li Xue was so happy just a few moments ago, thinking how perfect she has handled everything but now seeing the poker expressions on the man's face, she was no longer sure if the things had gone the way she had wanted it to go.
Racking her brains, she thought what she could do next as the damage had already been made. She was still thinking when suddenly the recorder voice note rang again in the room, "Mama, you are here!", making the situation go worse.
She quickly moved her feet and snatched her phone away to switch off the recording she had earlier put on a loop repetition. "Ahaha ... President Feng! What do you think? You have yet not said anything. Am I not great? You should sing some praises for me so that I can remain motivated in the future too. Come on, praise me for good!"
Praise her! For what? For playing such a prank on him? This woman was really daring! She was openly saying that she would remain like this in future too. Whoa!!
"Yeah! you are the best" He praised. His eyes looking all defeated in front of her charms of devilishness.
Li Xue wanted to smile again but thinking that it might ruin the things more, she decided to remain as normal and ignorant as possible.
Soon she completed her work at Feng Internationals with the help of Feng Shufen and left to return to her workplace. She has already said to the man that it would be better to keep their relationship a little secret for the time being. Though Feng Shufen wanted to oppose it, due to some reasons on his side too, he thought that it would be better like that for the time being.
Li Xue was on her way downstairs when suddenly someone called her from behind. "Chef Li!" Turning to look who it is, Li Xue found that it was some woman in a well professional fitted outfit. She looked young but she was still a little older than her.
Li Xue was unfamiliar with her, so when she saw her coming in her direction, she scrunched her brows a little in confusion. "Ms Lin!" someone stopped on the way to greet, that's when Li Xue realized who the lady was!
As the woman neared her, Li Xue too politely greeted her, remembering that she was someone from a higher-up position. "Ms Lin! Good afternoon!"
"Ahh! Good afternoon, Chef Li! I am sorry, I got too busy earlier and still, I am. I think you need to either wait for me a little more or if not comfortable, you can come back again tomorrow!" With her words, Ms Lin sounded all soft and sweet, but Li Xue could see her viciousness that she was trying to hide under.
Smiling all to her words, Li Xue maintained her polite composure as she said, shaking her head, "No, no, Ms Lin. There is no need to apologize. I know you are a busy person, working at such a great position in Feng Internationals. I can't blame you for the delay".
Ms Lin felt herself winning and getting boasted by Li Xue's words. For a moment, she doubted if what her friend, Ning Meiling, has said about this young chef was true or just her insecurity against her. Because as far as she was hearing her, she was feeling that Li Xue was just a sheep whom they could play and tease all easily, without her showing any resistance.
"Yes, you are right. I am quite a busy person" she said in a proud tone, twirling a strand of hair in her fingers, then pushing it lightly behind her ears. "So are you going to stay here and wait or would like to come again tomorrow? I think you should stay and wait a little while more because I can get free anytime and I am not sure if tomorrow, I will get enough time to see you".
"Ms Lin, I doubt I need to do that now", Li Xue said, pulling her wrist lightly up to look at her watch. "Though I am not as high and mighty as you, still I too have a job to attend and that job is no less. I will leave to attend my work now. And for the report, I think we can see it again at the end of next quarter!"
Her smile was never lost from her lips but its meaning and air got changed along with the words for Ms Lin, making her go all confused. What does that mean? Was she being arrogant with her? Let's see if she can really be one in front of her! She was not at the same position as her to take her audaciousness, rather was several positions higher,
There is no way she would accept her arrogance. No one has ever been like this to her and she would not ever allow something like that to happen with her in the future too. And this was just a mere dessert chef, who definitely has no standing in front of her nor power to talk back to her.
But little did she know how wrong she had taken the woman standing in front of her. Li Xue already had a history where she was well known for her own kind of stubbornness and arrogance. Something that no one could not even think to match.
