Chapter 179 Shocking Discovery
"I have an appointment with your Chief," Yu Mei glanced at the receptionist who had his gaze set on her.
"Cough...I'll check," He lowered his head and looked through the schedule on his desktop, "I apologize Miss, but Chief has an appointment with President Leanne."
Yu Mei flashed a golden card with Rosette's exclusive logo atop it.
The receptionist paused for a moment, "You are here on behalf of her?"
She did not respond and the man bowed slightly, "I'll show you the way."
They walked towards the elevator under the scrutinizing gazes of the employees. But although they looked at her, their gazes were subtle and polite.
"Here is it," She was sure it took more than 10 minutes for the elevator to reach the destination, as in the office.
Yu Mei looked at the stretch of glass that started from the moment they stepped out of the elevator but they couldn't see anything inside because of the translucent layers.
"Chief is in the office. I have informed him of your presence," The receptionist pressed his palm on a particular spot on the glass and it slid to the side, revealing an extravagant office room in the shades of white and grey.
The receptionist bowed and left.
She inhaled a deep breath and stepped inside.
Alas, the office room was empty.
'Did that man scam me?' She raised an eyebrow and stepped inside as the glass door closed behind her back, 'But why would he do that?'
It was only then did she noticed the high black leather swivel chair that was turned around giving her a view of the back, prohibiting her from looking at the person settled there.
She looked at the glass, trying to gaze at the reflection but all she got was a blurry image of a wrist. The black Rolex wristwatch looked familiar.
She slightly moved towards the left to get a proper view and narrowed her eyes.
Sigh...she couldn't see anything and she realized it was impolite for her to sneak like this acting as a thief.
on the man sitting on it.
"Y-You-" Horrified was an understatement to what she felt.
She cleared her throat but the person did not move, confirming that he was already aware of her presence in his office.
Of course, the receptionist did call him in front of her.
She was supposed to apologize, wasn't she? She pursed her lips awkwardly trying to remember when and how did she apologize to someone properly?
"I-" Hell, the sorry just did not come out. She was not used to this, "The matter regarding the pendant was handled improperly by our side. And, I as the President of Rosette will make sure to compensate you twice the amount-"
'Bam'
Her phone and her bag landed on the floor as the swivel chair turned around and her gaze landed on the man sitting on it.
"Y-You-" Horrified was an understatement to what she felt.
It was like someone had slapped her in the face. How strongly had she denied Shi Luo's claim that Jun Zixuan could be the CEO of Eminence?
"Leanne?" Her name smoothly slid off his lips as he pushed himself to his feet and it sounded sexy for sure. There was a hint of surprise on his handsome face as he walked towards her.
Yu Mei stood there in her spot, still shocked, "You are...?" Her gaze wandered around the office room, "You are the CEO of Eminence?"
"Mm."
She blinked and extended her hand towards him, "Pinch me!"
He lowered his head and took her bottom lips between his teeth before sucking it hard.
She pushed him away, "I had asked for a pinch."
"Oh," He caressed her reddening lips with his thumb, "I thought it was better than a pinch, President Leanne," He tilted his face to the side.
She was speechless. The gears in her mind turned in full speed.
Jun Zixuan was the CEO of Eminence.
Jun!
A realization suddenly dawned on her. Was he, by any chance, related to the Amaranthine Royalty? Wasn't their surname Jun too?
The more she thought, the more it sounded feasible. But doesn't that means he is related to....?
The frown on her face got deeper...
Jun Zixuan got the woman off the floor in one swift move as he carried her to the glass desk.
"What are you doing?" She asked as he put her on the desk and parted her legs to stand between them.
"You're the CEO of Rosette?" There were many doubts in her mind regarding him, his identity, and how the heck could he be the CEO of Eminence but she did not think it was the time to interrogate him when she had a pile of secrets with her.
"Uh-huh!"
"But the person who appears in media-"
"She was hired for this job. I was not prepared for a public appearance back then," When Rosette was established, Yu Mei Zhen had yet to turn 18. She hoped he would not go into further details.
And luckily he didn't.
"So, you like designing?"
"Very much."
His gaze flashed but it returned to normal before she could notice anything amiss.
"Why did you buy that pendant?"
He glanced at her, "That was supposed to be a gift for you."
She laughed, "Yeah, gift my design to me. I can't believe you doubled the amount for getting it!"
"I didn't think my wife would turn out to be Leanne," His hands played with her sleeveless white dress, "How to open this?" He asked tugging at the lace near her waist.
She ended up laughing once again, "This is..uhh...for decoration I guess."
"So, where should I try?" His fingers glided below her breast.
She bit his lips, "Stop that."
"Stop what?"
His hand lowered her short sleeve down her shoulder as he placed a kiss on her neck.
"T-This...'' Her fingers trembled.
'Ring Ring Ring..'
"Zixuan..stop..."
The man bit her chin, "One day, you will have to compensate for all these stops and waits you have made me go through," His deep voice made her gulp.
He grabbed her waist and put her down and she walked towards her phone that was abandoned on the floor.
As she swiped the answer option and put the phone beside her ear, her face darkened the more she heard what the person on the other side said.
She hung up the call and turned around to look at Jun Zixuan, "Can you pick Ah Jin from the school?"
He raised an eyebrow.
