Chapter 56 - PAPER BAG SECRETARY! (6)

Alex chuckled amusedly, "Fine, fine. Well, I won't judge your taste. Just don't steal Secretary Shi from me, okay? I've said to you before that I like her because she's my type." Alex said blatantly right in front of me. 

I turned my head at him, glaring at him. He really didn't want to make it better or easier for me, did he?

"You really like to make a dangerous joke, Mr. Priest," I said sarcastically. 

"What's with that glare? I just kissed you in the lift this morning. That's not how a Faire La Bise is done in my country. That's just simply a gentle kiss from me!" Alex said boldly and unrestrainedly. I jolted and glared at him even more.

"Did you tricked me!?"

"Ahahah! Relax, Secretary Shi, it's just a simple kiss. You won't lose anything from that," Alex said.

"But that's—"

"Unless you're actually a virgin for so long, have you never been kissed your whole life by a man?" Alex asked as he taunted me.

'Well, I got kissed by my dad!'

"What?! N—No! Of course, not! I've plenty of experiences!" I said proudly. Though I was screaming in my heart.

'Damn you and you trick, you cheap playboy!' I cursed in my heart. I clenched my fist. He really stole my first kiss! Although it wasn't a kiss on the lips, thankfully, but he still kissed me! The high and mighty Ying Jie who could beat up bullies, especially those who bullied my Mengmeng!

Damn it!

But before I could say anything, Meng Bao suddenly stood straight and asked Alex, "Did you really kiss her?" 

I darted my eyes immediately at Meng Bao. I saw how Meng Bao's voice got deeper and somewhat… scary and intimidating. His gaze was deepened and cold as an iceberg. He gazed at his Alex-Ge with an icy gaze that would definitely stop everyone from breathing for a second. 

Alex also got intimidated by Meng Bao's sudden change. He retreated slightly and asked back, "W—Whoa, Xiao Meng, why do you get so hostile suddenly? Don't give me that look. I still remember the time when I saw you cemented that man's feet and let your subordinate pushed him to the deep lake. That's the same look, you know."

My heart stopped beating for a second. I could feel my feet went cold when Alex said that. "W—What did you just say?" I asked.

"Y—Yeah, Xiao Meng is ruthless to his business enemy. Especially if that enemy dares to attack him first! I accompanied him once and was traumatized!" Alex said. "He cemented that man's feet, so he couldn't escape, then ordered his subordinate to push that man to the deep lake."

"You are talking too much!" Meng Bao yelled so suddenly at Alex, which made Alex's face turned even paler. He darted his cold gaze at me, which made me almost pissed myself, "You, close your ear, you don't need to hear it!"

"I—I hear nothing!" I said.

'Oh Buddha, I'm dead. I'm definitely dead. If Meng Bao found out about my real identity, not only I will lose my job, but I will also lose my head!'

I silently prayed in my heart, at least, I prayed that Meng Bao wouldn't find out about me today. Such a powerful man, I glanced at Mr. Yang Zhuhuo, my boss, who still sipped his coffee nonchalantly. As if he already knew what Meng Bao did to the business rivals that wanted to hurt him.

As if everything was normal.

'Boss! Old man! Your son is a psycho! Help me!' 

Meng Bao seemed to notice the fear in my eyes. He gritted his teeth and glared at Alex, who retreated again and hit the plant behind him. "X—Xiao Meng, stop giving me that look. I have yet to marry and have a child of my own!"

"Stop your blabbering next time, Alex-Ge," Meng Bao said. 

He darted his eyes on me again and asked, "Do we really not know each other?" 

Meng Bao tried to soften his voice, but it didn't work on me. All my evaluation about that cute, harmless Meng Bao poofed into thin air, only a scary Meng Bao that would definitely kill me once he knew my real identity.

"W—We don't know each other, sir," I said as I also retreated a bit from him.

Meng Bao's icy gaze dissipated slowly, and it turned into a disappointed look.

"You're right. The woman that I know is a virgin. How could she let herself getting kissed by a professional playboy like Alex-Ge?"

"You don't need to take off your paper bag. I already know my answer," Meng Bao said. His disappointed face somehow made me restless in my heart, but what can I do? Suddenly took off my disguise and then said, 'Hey, I'm your Ying Jie who insulted you and smacked your heart yesterday! Love me now!'

HAH, AS IF! This is not a romcom!

Meng Bao walked away and returned to his dad's office. Alex and I stared at each other and sighing in unison. Alex wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Damn, that's the first time I ever saw Xiao Meng getting so worked up. Be careful, Secretary Shi. Don't get entangled too much with him. Xiao Meng is a very nice and cute guy most of the time, but he's so ruthless against his business rival and anyone who dared to get in the way with his goal."

"What I said just now are all true," Alex said. "And it's quite normalized in his circle, so be careful."

I swallowed my saliva hardly. I touched my throat and imagined a knife slicing my neck.

"Y—Yeah, thank you for the advice, Mr. Priest."

Alex returned to Mr. Yang's office and closed the door. 

Though the tension was over, I was still scared shitless. I dared not taking this paper bag off my head.

With my shaking hand, I opened the Rent A Boyfriend app and hurriedly deleted my account.

'I have to delete my account to erase my trace! I can make a new account later, but I can't get a new life if I lose this one's pitiful life just because I accidentally rented my boss' son, who has a double life as a mafia!'
