Chapter 74 - Teasing the Green Flames

Xi Long spoke with a cold but heated tone as he berated the women. It was amusing for her to watch him follow her ploy and act out according to her wishes. If she did not know that he was acting then even she would have believed that he was angry because of how well he portrayed it. He did nothing out of the ordinary but by slightly shifting his standing position and turning up his oppressive aura there was a strong difference.

Right after he finished his question she could see the slight shock in their eyes. To suddenly show up next to their boss they were probably super confused on her relation to him. At first glance she could easily just be a casual partner but to see their stone cold boss make affectionate gestures is shocking. Him placing his hand on hers and allowing her to act "spoiled" was another way to display their intimacy and importance. Tightening her arms around his she held in her laughter before speaking again.

"Honey look, they aren't saying anything. Aren't they direspecting you by not answering?" Pouting her lips she looked to Xi Long and back to the women to see their faces pale from her words. She phrased her words in a way to bait them out and again the first one to speak was the same bimbo.

"N...n-o sir, we mean no disrespect! We did not intend for the situation to turn out like that. This bim....lady is the one who attacked first. We were just following protocol, please have mercy." Ying Yue felt like applauding the idiot in her head, despite being in front of her boss she continued to act like an airhead. There was an infinite amount of evidence and witnesses to prove her statement wrong but she decided to feign innocence. She could no feel pity for a woman like her who chose to willingly self-destruct. Sure she was attracted to Xi Long, it was hard not to be but a good strategist would always leave a way out. If her goal was only to be the wife of a CEO there were many more to reach out to but if you got fired from here there is no coming back. I mean who would want to hire someone that was fired from here? She really was beyond saving and as soon as she finished her statement she tried to give him a pitful look.

"Continue to lie and you will never survive in this city." He responded to her act with one sentence. The other two women were cowering at this point and looking frantically between Xi Long and the bimbo. It seemed that they had made their choice to stay silent but hoped that the other would still be able to change his mind. Though they had failed to understand that one bad teammate could easily ruin everyone.

Hearing his words, the bimbo dropped to her knees on the floor and began to weep crocodile tears. The instant she started crying and looking up at Xi Long for reassurance was the same moment Ying Yue felt a strange irritation rise inside her. I mean, yes she was delusional but does she not notice her standing next to him?? What gave her such confidence that she even had a chance to seduce him?? When the bimbo slightly hunched over there was a noticeable amount of skin on display. The woman had opened a few buttons before entering the office but nothing could be seen till she had bended over in this position. Propping her cleavage forward she spoke to Xi Long with a meek, pleading voice. "Sir, no please forgive us. We really need this job and we have not lied to you! The witnesses had come late and the video did not record how she had antagonized us!! She had no information to prove that she was here to meet you sir, if we knew we would not have stopped her. We were only doing our job, please have mercy...I...could do anything..."

'Did this b*tch really just proposition herself right now??!" The irritation that Ying Yue felt only heightened with her words. Even if she had a mask, it was obvious that she was superior to the bimbo in most ways and that was not her being egotistical. The bimbo was beyond delusion at this point. Feeling a bit petty she reached her fingers over to grab a napkin off his desk before throwing it in her face. "Oh no, your clothes are malfunctioning...it seems that the shirt is a little too small for you...I would suggest choosing outfits that actually fit instead of embarassing yourself. Be a dear and use the napkin to cover yourself. No need to thank me." A smirk graced her face after taunting her.

The bimbo's face turned red with embarassment or anger before grabbing the napkin and crumpling it within her hand. She glared at Ying Yue before returning to her weak persona. "Sir....I...-"

Cutting her off, Ying Yue turned towards Xi Long and pressed her chest against his arm. "Honeyyy, it seems like she doesn't want my help and is ignoring me. Don't you think she's being to harsh to me? I would never lie to you but she keeps saying I was the one who started this. Look, I even twisted my ankle because of her huhu. I feel so wronged huhu." As she spoke her piece she could feel the bimbo glaring at her and could practically hear all the curses she wanted to throw at her. To add onto the dramatics she decided to add some fake tears and slightly stumble while holding onto him for support. Taking her cue he held onto her head and brought it into his chest. Taking his arms he left one on her head and the other around her waist to "console her." She could feel his steady heart beating as his familiar cologne entered her nostrils. His body was still but she knew that he was holding in his laughter like hers at her acting. It was fun acting this out but she knew that she would have to wrap things up soon.
