We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 237 The Show Must Go On

When it came to Jie Zhong, Zhenxi Feng suddenly became very self-confident, "She's always chasing after me. But you are different from her. You are bright and capable. I really like you and we will be happy forever."

Christy Zhong didn't know how he could be so confident. He really was a man utterly without self-knowledge. She was actually speechless.

Christy wanted to laugh and weep all at once.

She was lack of social experience. It was fairly hard to deal with such problems. But she knew all she had to do was follow the rules, so she became tougher and said coldly, "Watch your language. We are quite different. Please leave!"

Her attitude to him was clear that he was not welcome. She had to do it, otherwise he might say more disgusting words.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She really didn't want to hear him talk. So she had better say no directly.

But Zhenxi believed that this was only temporary darkness just before dawn. In his mind, women were all shy creatures. Although he behaved humblely in front of his families, he understood woman in private. "I can leave of course. But I am afraid you will get bored. So all I wanna do is spend time with you." said Zhenxi presumingly.

But how could Christy need such people to company her. She was sick and tired of him. All at once she realized the seriousness of the problem now. If James would know about it, he won't believe her. After all, they were brothers and of the same family. Christy was only a mere outsider.

"Please leave!" Christy's mind was made up now. Before it was too late, she had to cut the Gordian knot. She thought it best to drive him out of the door, if not, she must keep him at a certain distance. Zhenxi laughed when he heard what she said. He looked at her anxious face and said seductively, "Christy, why torture yourself? I see what you mean."

What? Could he make out what she's saying? He couldn't understand anything about her.

Since he thought so, Christy didn't need to cast pearls before swine. Getting rid of him was the priority now.

Christy thought over carefully how to get out of trouble. She took out the phone and decided to ask Junyan Zhang for help. As to the result, she didn't even care.

So she sent a message to Junyan, "Chief Zhang, I'd like to go to your office and report the work. Is that alright?" All she needed was the right reasons.

Well, actually, Christy had another concern. She didn't want this thing known. She was ashamed of having been pursued by Zhenxi.

Junyan was puzzled at first. But she knew James's schedule and asked one colleague, "Who went in Master Feng's office just now?"

One secretary told her immediately, it was Zhenxi Feng. Junyan knew immediately what the matter was! Now that Christy called to her for help, it meant Christy was still devoted to James. In this case, she had better rescue Christy.

So Junyan didn't return Christy's message. She stood up and went out. Without waiting for any reply, she knocked at the door and walked directly into the office.

She pushed the door open with the words, "Secretary Zhong, Master Feng needs some materials." She certainly saw Zhenxi standing closely to Christy. And Christy was keeping her distance. The answer was entirely obvious. So Zhenxi moved backward quickly.

Christy exhaled deeply and thought Junyan arrived just in time to help her.

"OK, Chief Zhang. What is it? I'll do it right away." As Christy replied, she even tidied her desk.

Junyan looked at Zhenxi with piercing eyes. Zhenxi knew clearly this woman's power, she was James's most devoted follower. So he gave up and walked off, "You two seem so busy today. I'll come again another time."

Easy come easy go, Zhenxi always treated people only according to their social positions.

Watching Zhenxi's silhouette in distance, Christy straightened up and said respectfully, "Thank you very much! I am out of my mind with fear. I don't know what to do."

But Junyan snorted contemptuously, "Just be careful about these people. They are James's sworn foe and capable of doing anything. Don't be foolish to believe that you are attractive."

Christy certainly understood it. If she was not working for James, how was it possible for her to know these people. Even they met each other somewhere, she was just the passer-by.

"I understand. All they have done are in an attempt to deal with James. So I have to pay more attention to my words and deeds," said Christy seriously, "And I know you are certainly an affectionate fellow. Thank you."

In these last words she bowed her thanks. Words were not enough to express the depth of her gratitude.
