Chapter 220 - Compatibility

"Miss Qian, we need to talk," Autumn spoke as she walked over. 

"I don't think we have anything in common to talk about." Seeing that Autumn was trying to block her path, Edith ducked, spun around, and the next second, she had gone to the other side successfully. 

Autumn turned around with a puzzled look on her face. "How did you?"

Edith gave her a wink, turned around to leave the restroom. Just as she stepped into the corridor, Edith noticed that when Autumn walked over and tried to pull her hand. Sensing that Autumn was approaching, Edith dodged to a side and Autumn could only grab at the air. 

The last time Autumn had tried to pull this move, she had almost fallen flat on her face and Edith had moved in time to prevent the accident. 

However, this time, Autumn was not too lucky. Edith made no intention to help her again and soon, Autumn stumbled and knocked her shoulder on the wall. The impact was a bit too hard and Autumn moaned in pain. She tried to take a step and found that her ankle was sprained.

"Miss Feng, it was never a good idea to suddenly grab another person," Edith tilted her head sideways and continued, "I did remind you to be careful. With that high heel, it was easy for you to get into an accident." 

Autumn leaned on the wall and pointed her finger to Edith. "You pushed me!"

Edith crossed her arms on her chest. "If we asked the security to look into the footage from the camera behind you, we will know what really happened."

Autumn turned around slowly and her face paled upon seeing the CCTV. 

She was not expecting that there will be a camera in the corridor. From the position of the security camera, their exchange would be clearly visible. Even if she wanted to accuse that Edith was the one who caused her injuries, it was not going to work.

Autumn gritted her teeth when she saw that Edith was going to leave again. "Stop right there." Autumn limped forward. "Miss Qian, do you think you are suitable for President Mo? Let me tell you this, he was only playing with you. A man like President Mo would not marry someone like you."

Edith sneered and turned around. "Then, who will be suitable for him? You?" Her lips curled into a smile that did not reach her eyes. "You like President Mo, don't you?"

Her face turned slightly pink with embarrassment. Autumn did not expect Edith to suddenly point that question to her. Although she did like Neil, Autumn had never said them out loud. 

Autumn quickly composed herself. "At least someone like me is compatible with President Mo. Do you know who my father is? He's one of the directors in MH Group and one of the biggest shareholders. If President Mo stayed with me, my dad can help him and the company to grow further."

"Then, maybe President Mo should marry your dad instead."

Autumn found out that talking to Edith could be very frustrating. Everything that came out from the woman's mouth was able to make her blood boil. No one she knew dared to talk to her like this.

"Anyway, Miss Qian, you need to wake up and realized that you are not compatible with him."

"Who said that I am not compatible with him?"

Autumn chuckled. "Miss Qian, you must be dreaming. In which aspect did you think you are compatible with someone like President Neil Mo?"

Edith stood up straight and suddenly, her lips curled into a mischievous smile. She leaned forward and whispered. "At least in bed, we are very compatible."

Autumn clutched at her heart. Her face grew red from both embarrassment and anger. She pointed her finger at Edith again and said, "You shameless woman!"

"Well, President Mo happened to like this shameless woman." Edith turned around and noticed that both Neil and Hazel had appeared. "Why are you here?"

"You were gone for too long and we were worried," Neil said. He shifted his gaze to the person who stood not far away from Edith and his expression grew darker upon noticing that it was Autumn.

It was not hard for someone like him to figure out that Autumn Feng had come to find Edith to provoke her. Although Neil did not know what happened, at least, from the expression on both women's faces, Neil could guess that his woman was not easily bullied.

"I'm fine," Edith flashed him a smile. "Just ran into a fly."

Hazel heard her words and was suddenly curious. "Auntie Edith, you ran into a fly?"

"Un." Edith nodded. "It took me some time to drive away that fly."

Hazel looked around as if worried that the fly was going to follow after her. "Is it gone?"

"Don't worry. That fly would not follow after us." Edith stretched her hand to Haze and spoke, "Come on, let's return to our room. It's time for you to take a nap."

Once they returned to their suite, Edith accompanied Hazel to take a nap in her room while Neil was working in front of his laptop. After the little girl had fallen asleep, Edith walked out of the room and sat in the living area to watch some show on the television.

A while later, Neil sat down beside Edith, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and let her head leaned on his chest. "What did Autumn Feng said to you earlier?"

Edith pulled away from his embrace and stared at Neil's face for a few seconds longer, making the man anxious. 

Seeing the strange way that Edith was looking at him, Neil was suddenly worried that Autumn might have sprouted some nonsense to his girlfriend and made her upset. 

After she had looked enough at Neil's handsome face, a smile suddenly curled on her lips. "Miss Feng think that I am not compatible with you. She said someone like you would need someone influential to be your wife."

Neil's face turned dark with anger. "Don't listen to that woman's nonsense."

Edith put her finger on his lips, motioning him not to speak. "I know. I am not going to believe a stranger's words. You told me that I am good enough for you and I will choose to believe your words."

Neil heaved a breath of relief upon hearing her words.

"But, darling." Edith paused as she traced her fingers at the shape of his lips. She gave him a mischievous look and asked, "Do you want to know what I told her later?"

"What?"

"I told Miss Feng that we are very compatible." She inched closer to his ear to whisper a few words. When she pulled away, Edith could see the way his eyes slowly darkened with desire.

"Well then, Miss Qian." His voice was hoarse. "Should we try and check our compatibility again?"

Edith put a hand on his chest and blinked innocently.. "Don't you have to get ready for that banquet this evening?" The smile on her face widened as his face turned darker.
