The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 270
"Are you listening to what is coming out of your mouth? Do you actually think that I would believe even a single word of what you say? Now if you are done speaking rubbish, can you please get out?" she said .
Zhu Cheng finally got up . He placed his hands on the table separating them and leaned in towards her .
"Don't tell me later that I didn't warn you!" he whispered in a sinister tone .
All humour was gone from his face and he looked like a predator on tail of its prey . Sam hid an involuntary shiver which ran up her body, at his words .
"Ms . Li, do you have the numbers ready, which I asked for?" Wang Wei's quiet voice came from the cabin's door .
Sam looked up in relief . She got up from her seat and walked quickly towards him .
Advertisement"I… I was just getting to it," she told him .
"Who are you?" Wei addressed Zhu Cheng coldly .
He knew that the guy was the son in-law of the Li family but when he was walking past Sam's cabin just now, something in her face had stopped him and made him turn towards the door . He couldn't hear anything through the glass door, but it seemed that the guy was trying to threaten her . Till date, he had only seen the girl in a spunky, dare devil avatar . This white faced girl did not look familiar .
"Hi, Mr Wang . Maybe you didn't recognise me . We met earlier last week with your father and my father in-law . I am Zhu Cheng," he straightened up and extended his hand towards Wei with a warm engaging smile .
Ignoring his outstretched hand, he addressed Sam in a stern manner, "Ms . Li, we deal with a lot of sensitive data in our cabins . Next time, if you wish to meet anyone who isn't an employee of this organisation, I suggest you use the conference room . "
Zhu Cheng paled at the veiled insult .
"Please don't scold her . I had just dropped in to see my dear sister in-law . I hadn't had a chance to meet her ever since she came back to China . I was just leaving," he said, in an attempt to show his closeness to Sam .
Wei could feel the woman next to him, bristle at the implied familiarity but before she could respond, he surprised Zhu Cheng and Sam with his next words .
"Mr . Zhu, we take our work very seriously here . I would like you to keep your familial interactions outside this building," he said in a no nonsense tone .
Zhu Cheng got extremely uncomfortable when he realised that Wang Wei had no intentions of leaving the room anytime soon . Bidding a polite bye to them, he left .
Sam breathed in deep and turned to face her saviour .
"I am sorry, Mr . Wang . I'll ensure that it doesn't happen again . I didn't know that he would be…" she was stopped by him .
"Just get me that report," he said brusquely and left .
Despite his cold words, Sam was not put off at all . She nodded her head and told him that she would bring it to him right away .
"And next time you have an adversary, whom you are scared off, make sure that he can't see it . Else it would make him stronger, in his head and yours," with that cryptic remark, he left her cabin .
Sam stared at his retreating back . How did he know that I had been scared of Zhu Cheng?
"I shouldn't have opened my mouth . It is none of my business," he lectured himself upon reaching his desk .
Fifteen minutes later, Sam knocked tentatively at his door and entered .
"Here's the report you asked for . And… uh, thank you for earlier . I …" she started .
"Listen, I was out of line . Your business is not my concern . I apologise . Thanks for the report," he told her in a dismissive tone .
Sam was confused by his blow hot blow cold attitude .
"Since when did the knight in shining armour start saying sorry for saving the damsel?" she thought angrily .
"I understand, Mr Wang . In fact I am the one who is sorry for causing you unnecessary trouble and waste of your time earlier . It won't happen again," on a huff, she walked out .
Wei smiled at her snooty expression, not that she could see it since she had already left . Finally, she was behaving normally again .
Humming under his breath, he paused for a second when his mind wandered back to the scene from sometime back . Why would the brother in-law be threatening her? She had just come back to the country . How could she have pissed people already . But then, she did have that personality which could rub people the wrong way .
Not everyone could tolerate cocky, smart mouthed women!
