Chapter 129 - This Is Where My Heart Is (1) (1/2)

Xu Weilai traced his line of sight back to her computer screen and hurriedly slammed her laptop shut. On second thought, she hadn’t done anything wrong; what was there to hide from him?

This was her way of earning money legitimately. Furthermore, she no longer cared what he thought of her. No matter what she did, it was going to be wrong in his eyes!

She didn’t drink from the glass that he had passed to her and placed it back down. Resisting the pressure of his gaze, she forced her attention back on the email message and continued typing.

“I noticed that Pang Hai was missing his two front teeth. Did you hit him, Big Boss? He’s rather strong; it wouldn’t have been easy for a normal man to even make him budge. But you managed to knock two teeth out? You truly are awesome! You’re my ultimate hero–”

She was about to flatter her boss and wax lyrical about her admiration for him when the laptop was suddenly slammed shut with a loud thud.

Xu Weilai frowned and looked at Gu Yu uncomprehendingly. What did he want now?

The man’s eyes were dark and fathomless, not betraying his thoughts for even a moment. With his usual cold and icy demeanor, his lips parted and he asked, “Are you sure your boss was the one responsible for handling Pang Hai?”

Xu Weilai was surprised that Gu Yu would be interested in anything regarding her job. However, was he still suspicious that she and Pang Hai shared an illicit relationship? Was that why he refused to believe that Pang Hai’s mercy towards her had anything to do with her Boss’ management of the situation?

She did not want to fight with him at all. However, her reputation was on the line here. She couldn’t allow him to get away with ridiculing her this way!

“Yes, it was my boss who handled Pang Hai. Mr. Zuo is an especially outstanding boss, and he treats me exceptionally well. Whenever I’ve been in any trouble or danger, he’s always helped me. Naturally, this instance would have not been an exception!”

Xu Weilai enunciated each word clearly, her voice ringing out crisply.
