Chapter 206 - Hair Pulling Drama

Lee Jong stood rubbing a towel through his wet hair as he listened to the television running in the background. He turned around as the announcer mentioned his name along with Chairwoman Xie and stared at the big screen that occupied the entire wall. His attractive face showed a pleased smile when he saw the sensation he had created and his own picture showed alongside his ideal woman . Throwing aside his towel, he put on a pair of loose pants and t shirt before he walked out of the room to see his agent. 

The agent wanted to pull his hair out as he waited for his errant artist. He kept scrolling through his phone as he read the news that had been hyped up to this extent. He did not know what sins he had committed to have such a stubborn artist. The man was a brilliant actor and a genius but he was mad as a hen! They had just secured the contract with Lu Enterprises and before they could even announce the collaboration, the man had announced that he was the chairwoman's admirer! Did he think that Chairwoman Xie was just anyone could link their name to? If CEO Wolf heard this, Lee Jong would be buried alive! And by default so would he. And what in the hell was wrong with these people who were airing the news continuously

Did they not fear for their lives? Did they think that just because the great hunter was lying quietly, he was not lethal anymore?

He glanced up at the main perpetrator walked out of the room, with not a worry in the world.

He opened his mouth to lecture the man but was stopped when Lee Jong gestured to be quiet. He watched as the man walked to the refrigerator and drank up milk straight from the can..

Lee Jong then turned to where he sat and leaned against the kitchen counter. His perfect figure was highlighted in this position as he said to the assistant,"It's just gossip. Don't take it seriously. If the big CEO was so insecure that he would react to a nobody like me expressing appreciation for his wife then he would be fighting men all the time. It's just hype. Now shen we announce out collaboration, it is going to get even more publicity and some pre orders too! And anyways the esteemed CEO Wolf would have already suppressed the news by now if he was disgusted.

The agent looked thoughtfully at the beautiful man in front of him and nodded in agreement. Yes. If it had been anyone else that the man had linked himself to then he would have whole heartedly supported him but he had been worried about this. Just then, his phone started to ring and he almost dropped it in horror when he saw the person who had called. It was the representative from Lu Enterprises.

He showed the screen to Lee Jong and said in accusation,"Now you see what you have done? Do you have any idea how hard I have worked to get this contract? And now if it is canceled, it is going to bite us in the back."

Lee Jong shook his head and pointed to his agent,"Joe, stop being ao over dramatic and just answer the dam* phone."

Joe rolled his eyes at the man and in a silky voice asked,"Yes, Ms Cece? How may I help you?"

Whatever the other party said, Lee Jong observed that Joe was not reacting and waited patiently as he sipped some more milk. Finally, Joe placed down the phone and rubbed his forehead before explaining,"Chairwoman Xie Eun has invited us to have a meal with her at her office tomorrow. Miss Cece has explained that the Chairwoman was on maternity leave and will only be returning to have a talk with us so we must not be late." Joe then looked at Lee Jong expectantly and wondered if he had understood the point. The woman he was talking about liking was a mother of a child. And Joe was finally relieved when Lee Jong just nodded and said,"That would be great. Let me know my schedule for tomorrow."

Joe nodded and left, a bit satisfied with the mad man. But if only he had turned back...

Lee Jong, who had just been smiling benignly, straightened jos face when the agent left. Placing the milk back, he walked back into his bedroom and opened his wardrobe door. His eyes softened as he glanced at the photograph that hid behind the door. Such a beauty. He had worked with some beautiful actresses but this woman was something else. To him, his liking was not about desire but admiration. Unlike the actresses who used their faces and bodies, she used her brains and smartness. This was the woman who deserved to stand by his side forever. So what if she had a child and husband?

No one knew that the CEO looked like. He was pretty sure that the man must be ugly and monster like and that was why everyone feared him. Lee Jong then turned to look at his face. But him, no woman could overcome his lethal charm. Just look at the proof. He had just made a passing comment and the woman had already asked someone to arrange a meeting with him. He glanced at the rows of clothes in fromt of him and wondered what he should wear to meet her tomorrow. Whistling a tune, he glanced at Xie Eun beautiful face again and whispered,"Miss Beautiful...we will meet soon..."

Lee Jong then sat on the recliner and closed his eyes. His agent was right. He was mad. He had been mad about work and worked hard for the last few years. And now, just when he was almost bored with the same old work, life had thrown him a new challenge. "Xie Eun...Xie Eun...Xie Eun."
