Chapter 38 – Is This Enough?
Oh, is that his new girlfriend??…Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“…”
Hmm… but it doesn’t look like it either…
Stephanie Ruan crossed her arms and silently observed the two of them from the side.
However, with another closer look, she could roughly guess what is happening and could not help but burst out in laughter, “Pfft…”
Thankfully Stephanie Ruan covered her mouth in time to prevent any sound from coming out, which is why they have yet to notice her presence.
In fact, her mood has also brightened up a little after witnessing Javier Zhong’s annoyed expression.
But don’t you worry, she is definitely not feeling bad for taking pleasure in his misfortune!
Maybe because he is also looking kind of… cute??…
Nonetheless, who knew that such a day would come for Javier Zhong and the best part is that she even got to witness it firsthand for herself?!
Since it is not an everyday thing that Stephanie Ruan gets to see him in such a manner, she just wanted to fully enjoy watching this scene while Riley Tang continues to ‘provoke’ him.
“Javier…” Riley Tang started to behave coquettishly, in hopes of gaining his attention.
However, there is a limit to one’s patience and at this point, Javier Zhong already has had enough of her.
If not for Zhong Holdings’ good business ties with IGF Entertainment, he would not even consider letting this girl stay a second longer in his office.
“Ms. Tang, if you came up just to make such requests, I’d suggest you leave the room right now before I throw you out! That’s the first thing.” Javier Zhong stared at her with his ferocious eyes.
“Second, address me by Chairman Zhong. You have no right to call me by my first name! Now, get lost!” He pointed his finger toward the door, angrily emphasising his words.
What a waste of his precious time and energy!!
“!!…”
“Wait… but I spent the entire morning preparing and travelling here to meet you. Can’t you just give me some face and go out with me tonight??” Riley Tang immediately expressed her dissatisfaction to him.
It is obvious that she is the type of girl who is pampered to the heavens in her household and no one has ever said ‘no’ to her before!
So naturally, Riley Tang would find it difficult to accept his indifferent replies to her.
“Isaac!!… Drag her out!” Javier Zhong could not even be bothered to reply to her. All he wants right at this moment is for her to disappear from his sight!
“Annoying spoilt brat!!…” Muttering to himself, he crushed a piece of paper and threw it into the bin near him.
Isaac Wen, who has already been on standby outside the office, made his way in and politely ushered Riley Tang out. “Ms. Tang, please.”
Rolling her eyes at Isaac Wen, she faced Javier Zhong again, “Javier! You can’t do this to me! If my father knows that I’m being treated like this at your office, he definitely will not let this slide!”
Seeing that she still refused to get out, Isaac Wen has no choice but to resort to calling the company’s security team. “Send four people up to the chairman’s office now!”
Hearing that Isaac Wen is getting ready to forcefully send her out, Riley Tang widened her eyes in anger!
“Who are you to throw me out of the office?! If you dare to lay a finger on me, get ready to receive a lawyer’s letter from my parents! I’m going to sue you and your team for assault!” She shouted at Isaac Wen at the top of her lungs.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruan is not satisfied with how this ‘show’ is turning out.
This ‘female lead’ is seriously getting on her nerves!
Well, thinking about it, Javier Zhong is still her business partner at the end of the day… So perhaps she should step in and try to help him get rid of this nuisance?
After all, it is not going to be beneficial for both Javier Zhong and herself to work in such an unproductive environment.
She still has tons of work scheduled to be completed by today!
With that thought in mind, Stephanie Ruan became determined to get this situation over and done with!
Casually unbuttoning the top of her white formal shirt but still ensuring that she looks decent, Stephanie Ruan leisurely strolled toward Javier Zhong with a smirk that only he could see.
“Darling, you have a visitor today?” She deliberately scanned Riley Tang from head to toe, without hiding her look of disdain.
As soon as Riley Tang saw Stephanie Ruan, she subconsciously started to feel insecure about herself in front of an elegant, goddess-like lady.
Since young, she has always believed that she is the prettiest girl on the planet and no one could snatch this position away from her. Even the people around her could attest to this fact!
But right now… she simply could not believe her eyes!
“Who are you?” Unknowingly, Riley Tang’s voice had softened by a few decibels.
Pretending to be stunned by her question, Stephanie Ruan looked at her in astonishment. “Oh, you haven’t heard?? I’m Javier’s fiancée.”
“It cannot be!! Auntie Victoria told me that Javier is not attached yet!” Riley Tang immediately retorted in disbelief.
Nodding her head in agreement for a few seconds, Stephanie Ruan moved forward and placed her hands intimately on Javier Zhong’s shoulders. “Well, it’s nice to hear that you got to be on his mother’s good side.”
After which, she unhesitatingly pulled up the side handle of his chair and sat down on Javier Zhong’s lap. “But too bad, it still doesn’t change the fact that I’m his fiancée.”
Side-facing him with one arm clinging onto his neck and the other elegantly resting on his chest, Stephanie Ruan stared directly into his panic-filled eyes, “Am I right, my dear?”
“!!!…”
Her unexpected action has caused the entire room to be in an uproar!
Not to mention Isaac Wen and his security team who is watching behind with widened eyes, even Javier Zhong himself is caught off guard by what she is doing!
He is panicking?? Yes, he definitely is!!
And it is not because she is showing her affection to him in front of so many people, but that this is the first time she has drawn physically close to him on her own accord!
Could you imagine how ecstatic he is and what is running through his mind right now??!
Feeling her fresh breath on his face, his mind instantly went blank and he is feeling lost about what he should do!
His heart has never pounded so quickly before and he could literally feel it in his throat right now!!
Seeing the lovey-dovey couple in action before her eyes, Riley Tang could no longer control herself.
“Argh!!” With a disgruntled expression, she stomped out of his office and never looked back.
“…”
“The rest of you, get out!” Javier Zhong ordered coldly.
“Yes, Chairman Zhong.” They echoed one after another, not daring to steal another glance at them.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruan is very pleased to have successfully ‘completed’ this task in less than five minutes.
Still sitting in the same position, she excitedly tapped on Javier Zhong’s chest and bragged to him about her accomplishment. “So, how was it?? Wasn’t I so natural at it??”
“Hais… but it could have been more perfect if not for one thing that was missing…” She appeared to be reflecting on the incident very carefully.
“What is it?” Javier Zhong asked her curiously, with no intentions of releasing his hands from her waist yet.
He is clearly enjoying this rare moment with her and he definitely would try to prolong this for as long as possible.
“A kiss!…” Stephanie Ruan playfully teased him and burst out in laughter.
But never in her wildest dream would she have imagined that Javier Zhong would actually act on it!
He immediately pressed his lips on her soft cheek and whispered into her ear, “Is this enough?”
“??!!…”
