She stared at her phone with dumbfounded eyes .

Never had she thought that the man would call her while on that business trip abroad . It was thrice to boot!
Also, she unluckily did not pick up even one of his three calls .
“That… Why did you call me?”
Unable to get her thoughts together, she posed this silly question to him .
He was this close to dying from anger at her question .
However, after mulling over it, he really did not know how to answer that .
He just wanted to hear her voice, so he called her at that time .
Unexpectedly, his sudden call did not even go through…
She had an epiphany upon seeing his anger-filled eyes . “Ah! I know, you probably called to tell me of what to do in case your mom comes by!”
The further she thought of this, the surer she was that that was it .
“Couldn’t I call you without reason?” the man coldly asked, squinting his eyes at her .
She first nodded and then quickly shook her head; it was as if she had just recalled something .

“Of course not!” My foot!
This annoying fellow won’t ever call me if there’s nothing, she spat inside .
He could obviously guess what was on her mind from the way her eyes darted about . She was that bad at hiding her thoughts .
Still, he wanted to know what she was up to this week to be unable to hang out with his cousin and answer his call .
“You seem to be awfully busy this week . ” He coldly peered her .
She subconsciously glanced at her computer and decided to hide the fact that she had been learning online .
“I-I’m not really busy with anything . As a homebody, I just don’t feel like going out at all . He he!” She grinned at him sheepishly .
“Oh? Really?” He cocked a brow at her, returning her smile with a smirk .
“Really! What can I be busy with…” She trailed off, feeling a little depressed .
Thinking about it now, if she did not serendipitously encounter Abby, Professor William, and the rest, her current lifestyle would probably be as she had just said .
With nothing to be busy about, her world would truly only revolve around this man . She would be no better than a pet being groomed by him .
In fact, right now, she really was like a mistress being kept outside by him!

“I followed the schedule you gave me every day, so what could I be busy with?” she mumbled dejectedly .
Instead of going to classes alone every day, she preferred to busy herself with work alongside her colleagues .
The man felt a slight discomfort when he noted her gloomy and uninspired look .
“I get it . ”
He did not press her anymore and merely nodded emotionlessly, deciding to keep his questions to himself .
“Ziming, can I go back to work?” She suddenly lifted her head to stare at him with her pitiful, doe eyes .
“Go back to work?” When she looked at him fixedly, he felt his heart accelerate .
“That’s right . I’m almost done learning all the stuff you want me to learn…” she reasoned .
“Are you really almost done learning them?” He felt amused watching this stupid woman before him .
Doesn’t she know that her eyes always dart around every time she lies to me or when she’s plotting something?
She is really… stupid to death .
She was a little sheepish when he threw her words back at her .

“Fine . It’s not truly almost done…” She nudged her lips gloomily . “Still, it should be at an acceptable level . ”
He could not prevent his lips from curling upward at her pouty look .
“So, are you begging me now?”
“Huh?” A little stunned by his question, she regarded him fully again .
This was when she realized that the man was in a good mood .
“So, what you’re saying is… if I beg you, you’ll agree to it?” She blinked at him as she carefully confirmed this .
“Hmm . That depends on my mood,” he replied coolly .
“…” The corner of her lips twitched . She then muttered, “Then, consider this as me begging you!”
Tsk! It’s just this one statement, so it’s nothing to me .
“Let me go to work . I don’t want to live like this anymore . I want to go to work . ” I want to be around people!
Although the things I am learning now are useful, I won’t be needing them to make a living . Except for when I’m beside this annoying fellow, I won’t be able to make use of them .
“Okay . ” Hiding the upward curl of his lips, he nodded in acquiescence to her request .
“Really?!” Her eyes shone brightly the moment he gave his affirmation .
“Are you truly letting me work again?” She was a little in disbelief that this annoying fellow would be easy to reason with today .
“That’s right . ” Although his face remained impassive, unknowingly, his cool gaze had a tinge of fondness to it .
“Ahh!” When he guaranteed his consent, she was truly over the moon .
She was also a little too excited .
“I love you to death! You’re truly the best!”
The excited her pulled his hands and happily danced with them like a child .
The man, who was taken aback by her actions, stood on the spot motionlessly, dazedly not knowing what to do .
WhWhat is this dumb woman doing?! Sh-She is a girl! Does she know how to be demure?!
Very thrilled that she could resume work and not spend her days drearily, she failed to realize that a certain Mr . CEO’s face was very red…
