Chapter 5 Lecherous
That night, nursing a broken heart thoroughly hurt by my mum, I am physically and ntally exhausted so I go to my room to sleep. Reality is often too cruel, in comparison the land of dreams is happier. Hence, it is best I go to sleep! After my head touches the soft pillow, I keep on hypnotizing myself to fall asleep quickly. But, when I am about to enter a dream, the sudden ringing of my mobile phone brings back to reality.
Who is so inconsiderate to call at this hour of the night ah? Obviously, this is disturbing people’s sleep! I feel very irritable and want to protest. I use the quilt to cover my head and is reluctant to answer the phone, but that loud ringtones keep on ringing persistently. I have no choice but to sit up and take a look at my mobile phone. I see Ai Li’s na flashing on the screen. This is baffling, as this bad girl who always neglects her friends when she is in a new relationship is supposed to be madly in love with her boyfriend and busy dating? How co she has ti to call now?
The mont I pick up the phone, I imdiately hear Ai Li’s piercing wail like ghosts and howl like wolves voice: “Yezi! (Note: Xia Ye’s nickna) sob sob sob …… sob sob …… I don’t want to live anymore!”
I am very shocked and put the phone a fair distant away from my ear before asking: “Ah? How are you? What happened?”
When the sound of weeping has quietened down slightly, she sobs spasmodically and says with grief and indignation: “A few days ago I ran into an old classmate who was quite close to . She is not only beautiful but she is also highly educated and has a good job ……”
When I hear that, I can’t help interrupting: “Well, so what if that girl has better qualification? It is not worthwhile to feel inferior and desperate, right?”
Ai Li ignores my words and continues to weep while talking: “When I talked more with her, she appeared very depressed and distressed. She said she has a crush on a man, but he already has a girlfriend. Moreover the girlfriend is soone she knows.”
I nod my head and ask: “Oh, then? ”
Ai Li sniffs her nose and continues to whimper: “Then, I kept comforting and encouraging her, by saying that her qualification is so good. If she really likes him very much then she should have the courage to pursue him. I also said love is a level playing field. As long as he is not married, she still have a chance, so she should not give up easily. Indeed, after she heard my advise, she pulled herself together and said she has decided to be brave to pursue her own happiness.”
I am totally clueless: “This is good ah! Why are you crying?”
Ai Li starts to wail: “But the crucial point is that sohow my boyfriend ended up being her boyfriend now!”
I: ” ……”
As it turns out that beautiful girl is in love with Ai Li’s boyfriend ah! This is what is called shooting yourself in the foot, you are a victim of your own doing so you should dig a hole and bury yourself. These words are appropriately used to describe a silly girl like you, right?
As a result of Ai Li’s complain over her distressed break up, I start my job to console and pacify her which lasted for a few hours ……
Early in the next morning, I float to work like a zombie with a pair of eyes with dark circles looking like a panda. After I’ve tidied up and sorted out so of the files on the general manager’s ssy desk, I feebly clean up the papers on the floor. Finally, I bend my waist to wipe the desk. In order to save energy, I sit on a chair while wiping. Then in order to save more energy, I lie on the table while wiping. Later, in order to save even more energy I close my eyes while wiping. As a result, I fall asleep. = =
The leather chair is soft and comfortable and the desk is cool and smooth. Hence, I manage to sleep very soundly, not knowing how much ti has passed. Then, I gradually wake up but still feel drowsy.
I yawn lazily and open my eyes. Imdiately, I see an enlarged handso face, which appears smiling at yet not really a smile. Before, whenever I see this almost perfect and impeccable man, I cannot help but lant to God of the unfair treatnt in the making of man. Except this ti, my first thought is the consequence of being caught sleeping during working hours by the boss.
While staring at his charming black eyes, I touch my head awkwardly and grin ridiculously: “Well, now …… What is the ti now?”
Lu Jun casually sits on the desk, raises his hand to look at his watch and says: “It is half past twelve now, right on ti for lunch!”
Oh my God! I have slept through the whole morning! I ask with tears in my eyes: “General manager, when did you co?”
He tilts his head while trying to recall his mory: “Ah …… probably around ten o’clock.”
I cannot help but to wonder: ” Since you arrived quite a while ago, why didn’t you wake up when you saw sleeping?”
He shrugs his shoulder and smiles: “Because the back of your head is smooth, round and delicate, a lot better looking than your face. Hence, I want to look at it a while longer.”
” …… > _ < “Is there anyone who flatter people like you?
At this mont, Lu Jun’s face suddenly turns serious. He gazes at and speaks in a businesslike tone: “How is the schedule for this afternoon eting?”
I break out in a cold sweat and lower my head: “Well …… ”
Then, he goes on to ask: “The latest docunts for the business project have been issued, right?”
I imdiately lower my head even more: “That ah ……”
He continues to ask: Is the data I asked you to prepare yesterday ready?”
“Uh ……” My face has dropped low enough to nearly stick to my chest.
Finally, he acts all self righteousness and reprimands : “Xia Ye, tell how I should settle the serious mistakes you made at work today? ”
I shiver and quickly pretend to look weak and without strength like a sick person to gain sympathy: “General manager, actually today I …… have a cold, so I’ve no energy to talk ……”
“Forget about it. I will not penalise you for now.” His expression becos a lot more pleasant and amiable. Then, he raises his eyebrows, looks at and speaks softly: “Seeing that you are so pathetic, I’ll make an exception and take you out to lunch. Order whatever food you want, so no need to act polite.”
Who is going to act polite with you ah! My eyes imdiately shine: “Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, stir-fried beef, spicy chicken cubes and it will be perfect if I can also order a at slice boiled soup!”
He: “You’ve energy to speak now?”
I: “……”
This is my first visit to such a high-end restaurant for a al. I see the faint glows from the crystal lights on the ceiling. The music from the violin gradually echoes throughout the restaurant making it looks elegant and romantic. General manager is especially generous this ti round. He gives the nu straight away and asks to order myself, so I order all the dishes that I have ntioned just now. Incidentally, I sneak a glance at the prices, so scary! It turns out that few dishes will cost more than three hundred yuan!
This ti, I really make a big profit!
Food is served very quickly. Looking at the tasty appearance and delicious slling four dishes and one soup on the dining table, my saliva starts to secrete dramatically. However, when I see the person sitting opposite deliberately hasn’t moved his chopstick, I feel embarrassed to begin eating first.
In order to be able to enjoy the culinary delicacy as soon as possible, I curry favour with him by praising him: “General manager, your complexion looks good today, making you appear more fresh, handso, suave and attractive! ”
He smiles and looks like he is enjoying himself: “Oh, like this ah …… then you look and admire a little longer la.”
I: ” ……”
As a result, I am speechless and look at him for a while. I can sll the aroma from the dishes, and finally my stomach cannot resist and starts to growl.
Lu Jun laughs out loud and puts the chopsticks into my hand: “Eat la, you fool!”
I remain silent and twitch my mouth. I am a fool, so what? So long as there is free food, even if you call an idiot, I will also admit it!
I am the only person eating the al because big boss Lu does not even eat a mouthful. Could it be that these dishes which I ordered are not to his taste? Although I feel a little strange, I do not bother to ask because after all, it is his choice not to eat. It is so much better that I get to enjoy the culinary delicacy all by myself.
After eating my fill, I straighten up my bulging belly which is at bursting point. I look across the table at that calm and graceful man and politely say: “General manager, I am sorry to make you spend a lot of money.”
Lu Jun’s smile is very humble: “You flatter , it is you who have to spend a lot of money.”
Suddenly I am confused, what do you an?
I co out from the restaurant five minutes later. Although I have eaten my fill, I look even more haggard and weak than when I am hungry. In contrast, soone beside is high-spirited and glowing with health and vigor.
Finally, I understand why he did not eat, because I have to pay for this al ah!
According to the old fox’s interpretation, he only said he’ll make an exception by bringing to have a nice al. But he did not say he will treat . Moreover, I was the one who ordered those dishes and ate them all so there is no reason to ask him to pay ……
No wonder he told to help myself in ordering, no need to be polite. This scoundrel who has a glided exterior but shabby and ruined on the inside, scoundrel ah. Once again, in the midst of laughter, I let him get the better of !
I only have ten yuan with , so I have to borrow three hundred yuan from Lu Jun.
I have only been working for two days, but adding the cost of yesterday’s coffee money and today’s al together, I’ve lost over four hundred yuan. What kind of world is this ah!
This ti, it is really a big loss!
Thus, Lu Jun is officially promoted to beco my boss plus creditor.
My stingy mother is definitely not going to give money to repay this debt. Moreover, after yesterday and today spending, my pocket money for the month is running low. After reflecting on my situation while on the way back to the office, I raise my pale cheeks to show my lovely and pitiful expression. Then, I start to talk weakly: “General manager, I am short of money now. Can you wait until next month, after I get my wages before I repay you?”
He gives a very gentle smile and says: “Cannot.”
I imdiately sit up: “But general manager, I really cannot pay you now, so how? If you demand paynt, I really do not have, but if you want my life, take it!”
He turns his head to look at calmly: “Like this ah, then you co to my house tonight.”
“……”
I am so stunned until I quickly take two steps back. In a flash, my expression becos wary and I look at him with contempt. Sure enough ah, as expected, all the bosses in the world are lecherous! He he he goes so far as to want to repay my debt with my body!
