Chapter 1111: 1111 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (135)
No one who’s ever dealt with her would say she has a good temper.
So things can be tolerated, but others cannot. And when she can’t tolerate sothing, the ones who provoke her often et a grim end.
Yi Yang smiled but didn’t argue with her. "Miss Hai, this way, please."
Heather walked behind him, moving slowly. When they reached the door, she asked, "Is he alone? Or is soone else inside?"
"Miss Qu is inside." Yi Yang wouldn’t dare to hide this detail.
Heather paused, her gaze flickering briefly before disappearing. She smiled faintly at Yi Yang. "Then forget it. I’ll co back another day to see Mr. Nian. No need to announce ."
"Hey, Miss Hai—"
As Yi Yang called out, the door in front of him opened. Nian Shen appeared at the doorway, his deep voice carrying command: "Co in."
Heather turned and saw Nian Shen freshly out of the shower, wrapped in a towel around his waist, water droplets still sliding down his upper body. Her expression didn’t change; she tugged the corner of her lips into an almost-smile. "Forget it. I really don’t have anything urgent. I won’t disturb you and Miss Qu. I’ll co back another ti."
"I told you to co in," Nian Shen frowned, a look of displeasure already forming. "You’re not the kind to drag things out, are you?"
Heather’s eyes darkened slightly, and she stepped inside.
Yi Yang stepped aside to let her pass and then closed the door behind her.
This was a presidential suite, but the living room showed no sign of Qu Leqi’s presence.
"I know you two had a bit of a falling out on set and don’t want to see each other. She’s in the room and won’t co out."
Heather stood there, bowing slightly. "Mr. Nian, I ca here today to ask you one thing. The offer you made for
to be your bodyguard—does it still stand?"
"Of course it stands. I told you, no matter when you agree, I’ll accept you," Nian Shen said as he sat down, pouring himself a glass of red wine. His gaze swept to the empty seat beside him. "Sit down."
But Heather didn’t move. Her eyes were fixed on him, montarily lost in thought.
"Heather?" Nian Shen called her again. "Sit down."
She snapped out of her daze and gently shook her head. "No need. I ca today just to tell you this in person. That’s all I wanted. I’ll take my leave now."
"I told you to sit down!" His voice deepened, carrying a touch of frustration. "You’re acting strange today. Why so hesitant? You ca to
on your own to say you wanted to be my bodyguard. And now, you’re just going to leave? What’s that supposed to an?"
"What? Am I supposed to start work today?"
"Why not? From the mont you agreed, you’re officially my personal bodyguard. Do you know what being a personal bodyguard ans? Twenty-four hours, sticking by my side."
"Twenty-four hours?"
"It ans you’re staying here tonight. There’s an empty room for you. Tomorrow, I’ll have Yi Yang move your belongings here. As long as I’m in Linyang, you’ll be living here with . Understand?"
"..."
Just as her lips parted to speak, Nian Shen cut her off with a voice that brooked no dissent: "Have you ever heard the saying, ’A boss’s orders are paramount’? Since I’m your direct superior, what I say goes. You don’t have the right to negotiate with . If you agree, stay."
She couldn’t help but think, if he kept talking, would his next sentence be, "If you don’t agree, the door’s over there"?
What a domineering man!
But really, who could she bla? She had walked into this herself.
"Fine, I agree."
