Chapter 209 - 209 Jealousy In Front Of The Crowd

Lexus and October saw the red-faced and panic-striken Assistant Yu as he closed the door of the meeting room immediately. The two stood frozen for a moment and as their eyes were still on the already closed door. 

Letting out an awkward cough, he promptly fixed October's clothes and even combed her black wavy hair with his fingers. 

"This is your fault!" October gave Lexus a playful slap on his shoulder as her face dyed in crimson red. She sounded angry as she gnashed her teeth at him but her eyes were glowing. 

"Yes. I'm sorry." Lexus said and trying to appease his angry wife who was acting really cute right now. He silently clicked his tongue. 

'I should have locked the other door of the meeting room. No, rather, why did that stupid Xi even return just to disrupt my time with my lovely wife?! I should give that brat some lesson.' Lexus swore as he comforted his wife who was trying to ignore him. 

Outside of the meeting room and in the hallway, Assistant Yu suddenly felt a shiver running down his spine. He felt that something bad would happen to him. His stride went fast as he walked further away from the meeting room.

"Wifey, I'm sorry. Forgive me, okay? You were just too beautiful and enticing for me that I could not help but want to devour you. I won't do it anymore. We'll just continue with that at home." He wrapped his hands around her waist, not putting too much strength in it as he was scared that it would hurt her and the baby. 

"What do you mean by that?" October's ears felt like it got pricked and her face showed her dispp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. "No, I won't do it. We won't do it."

"What? Why?" Lexus' face instantly turned dark and air around them turned heavy and suffocating. 

But October was someone who also had and almost the same air as Lexus so she was not at all affected by his intimidation. Instead, she gave him her own dark look. This look of hers was something that did not tolerate defiance of any form and Lexus had clearly read this and so swallowed his words of resistance. 

He gave up...just like that. He does not have any more will to fight with October; this he knew clearly. It seemed like he had already been a slave to his wife. But he smiled to himself as he thought that it was not so bad to serve his wife forever. 

October saw the cunning smile on Lexus' face and felt her heart skipping a beat. "Wh-what?"

"Nothing." He shrugged nonchalantly and tried to cover his calculating smile. "I just thought that you are so beautiful that I don't want to show you to other people."

"Lexus, please stop with this foolishness already. And let go." 

Fortunately, Lexus did not made it too difficult for October as he had released her from his embrace. Holding her hand will do for him for now. 

"Let's go. Are you hungry?" He asked went out of the meeting room with October walking beside him. "Let's go eat lunch."

"Okay." October nodded. 'He must have been hungry.'

Since it was the weekend, there were no employees working on the upper level. Only some who were having their overtime or employees on the lower levels, julst like on the first floor, reception area. 

In the first floor where a number of employees were loitering around, the air around them suddenly plummeted. This feeling was so familiar to them that there was no need for them to look at the person himself. 

'The boss is out!' Was what they were thinking as they automatically made a way for their boss to pass through with their head low. 

The cl.i.c.k.i.n.g of him shoes resounded in the hallway and grew softer as it neared to them. But something seemed off. The employees was baffled by what was off with this. 

No one still dared to raise their head to look at their boss and continued to stare at their feet. But as soon as their boss got nearer, the employees could hear another set of footsteps. It was not heavy so it was not Assistant Yu's. This footsteps seemed soft and reserved. 

At this moment, they had finally realized that someone was walking beside their boss and based on the footsteps, it was probable to say that it belonged to a lady. 

This heightened their curiosity instantly the moment that thought crossed their mind. However, that realization was just that as they could not muster a courage to take a quick look at their boss to confirm their suspicion. 

This was what the employees had all thought...except for one.

Lanlan was hanging her head down and was standing in attention as their boss walked. Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her, almost boring a hole on her head. It was so cold that she felt her core shudder. 

Lanlan knew that she has to keep her head lowered. Yet the nearer the CEO's footsteps got, she also heard another soft footsteps. If anything, she noticed that the other footsteps was in sync with their boss, even the pacing was slower which was different from the usually heavy and swift footsteps their boss usually has. 

And then suddenly, a cold look of a beautiful woman who she met earlier flashed on her eyes. She snapped her head up to look at the source of the cold stare and her breath caught on her throat and her whole shuddered and knees buckling as her strength left her.

They locked eyes with the woman she tried to humiliate earlier only to be ignored by her. But that alone was not terrified her the most because that same woman was walking beside their CEO. Then her sight landed on their entwined hands. 

Lanlan s.u.c.k.e.d a cold air at the same time as her blood turned ice cold. Her teeth chattered as her eyes had finally widened in shock, horror, and fear. 

'That woman was the CEO's woman? What...what have I done?!'

"Who are you looking?" Lexus frowned and turned to look at the direction that October was looking, feeling displeased. He was right beside her and yet her attention was elsewhere! He can't accept this sort of treatment.

With that, Lexus turned October's head with his hand to face him and said in an overly overbearing tone in which even the other people around them hold their breaths. 

"Don't look at other people. You only had to look at me."

'What...what did he just say?' 

"...okay." October replied after collecting herself from the destructive charm her husband has. 

"Now then, where do you wanna go, wifey." Lexus asked October as the two strutted out of the building and into their awaiting car. He had a small yet gentle and doting smile on his face that made every color in the world pale in comparison to him. 

'Wa-wifey?!'

The employees was so shaken at the bomb their boss hada dropped and explode in their faces! They were so shocked that their minds turned blank while staring at the backs of their boss and the woman in his arms. It took them minutes to collect their bearing before they errupted into a frenzy of confusion, speculation, and gossip.

But Lanlan, on the other hand, was worse of the worst for she had finally fainted out of fright with one last thought in her mind: ' I'm finished! I'm doomed!'
