Venus held back the tears and said calmly, “Her parents are not well, so she had to go back home.”
“Oh... I remember, a while ago, weren’t her parents looking for her? I heard that her father is still hospitalized.”
Venus answered, “Well, it’s because her father is not well and she’s the only child, so of course she has to go back to take care
of her parents.”
“I see. I thought she hooked up with another rich man and just fly away.” Lina’s tone was a bit mean.
Since she had passed away, and even though no matter had bad she was, it’s better not to discuss about her. Besides, Venus
didn’t want to hear people slandering Xinyou.
“Just go back to work. Manger He might be angry if we keep gossiping.” Then they left.
Because she had just gone to work, Venus didn’t have much work to do. After reading the new issue of Style Magazine, she was
full of hope, wishing that her brother could see it. And then he came to save her, so that she could get away from Kerry, that
monster.
When it came to noon, Venus and a few colleagues were walking and discussing where to eat. The elevator came down and
there was a person standing inside.
The few people chattering outside the elevator suddenly quieted down and Venus looked at Kerry, who was with an indifferent
face. Until she walked into the elevator, a few people behind her followed, excited with a little nervous.
“Hello, Mr. Ye.” “Hello, Mr. Ye.”
Kerry greeted back.
Xiaoli and Lina looked at each other and they felt it was just too lucky. Didn’t he have an exclusive elevator? What brought him to
take the staff elevator today?
It must have something to do with Venus. Thinking so, the female colleagues worshiped Kerry even more.
Although he was already married, the female colleagues still treated him as their dream lover.
It was off-work time, so the people in the elevator got more and more. At first, Venus kept a certain distance from Kerry, but then
the space became smaller and smaller, so she was naturally pushed to Kerry’s side.
Kerry looked at her, with his dark, curved eyebrows gently furrowing and his eyes blinking, making Venus unable to see the
brilliance in his eyes. His high nose oozed with dense beads of sweat and he pursed his lips. Despite the crowded elevator, she
was doing her best not to get close to him, as if she were some sort of toxic stuff.
“Ding.” The elevator doors opened and a few more people came in.
“Please don’t get inside. It’s crowded already.” Someone shouted in a small voice.
Venus and Kerry stood at the back, in front of whom was a man in a white shirt. He stumbled backwards. Seeing that he was
about to lean on Venus, Kerry quickly pulled her in front of him, while his back was to everyone and his hands were stretching on
both sides, creating a small hidden space...
The few people around saw this, turning their heads away to pretend to chat with someone around them, or looking down at their
phones. In fact, everyone was focusing on them, wanting to know what they were saying.
Venus was a little hot by his breath, wanting him to get up, but there were too many people in the elevator, so she could stare at
him to express her dissatisfaction.
Kerry was somewhat mad at her acting in such way, lowering his head to whisper, “Where to eat?”
Venus turned her head away to ignore him.
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, he bit her ears, “Do you believe I’m going to do something to you here if you don’t say
anything?”
Venus blushed subconsciously. How dare he?
“It hasn’t been decided yet. We are discussing.” Venus replied indifferently.
“Well...” Before Kerry left, he nibbled her pink earlobe that no one could notice.
Venus was shocked for a few seconds, and after realizing what he had done, she very rudely elbowed him in the waist. It was a
work place and there were so many people here, so how could he do this?
Kerry muffled, frowning. Venus hurt him a little bit.
The atmosphere in the elevator was restless and strange, but no one spoke, most of whom were looking at the ever-changing
numbers.
20, 19, 18...
For the first time, Venus felt that the elevator was descending so slowly, and suddenly, Kerry’ s hand stretched above her head
slipped down and landed on her waist and then buckled her in his arms.
Venus stared at him. What did he want?
Kerry lips curved. He thought this was a revenge for her hitting him with her elbow.
But Kerry bit her at the beginning.
Venus might bite back.
Venus was speechless. After living for more than twenty years, she hadn’t seen a man more shameless than Kerry.
“Ding.” The elevator finally arrived at the first floor.
God, Kerry didn’t do anything more and just came out along with the crowd.
“Venus, you and Mr. Ye go to eat. We’re leaving first.” Lina said smilingly.
Venus stopped her, “I’ll go with you guys. Mr. Ye, he has his...”
“I’m fine, I’m just here to have lunch with you.” Kerry interrupted her.
Venus at first didn’t want to disappoint him, but now she didn’t want to care too much, so she just said, “I don’t want to eat with
you.”
A few people present were shocked by Venus. Did she actually speak to Kerry like that?
Kerry was also surprised by her, and after a moment of silence, he smiled, “It’s okay, just pretend that I don’t exist.”
He had been dealing with piles of documents all the morning, and he didn’t want to stop, because as soon as he stopped, he
couldn’t help but wonder what Venus was doing now.
There were several times when he tried to find an excuse to go to the design department, but he was stopped by his sanity.
