"I Won't Let You Avoid Me"
"I Won't Let You Avoid Me"
Everyone inside the office raised their heads to look at him except Mo Roulan who seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. Though her eyes stayed on the documents in her hand, her mind was somewhere else.
It was only when Chu Feng called out her name.
"Miss Mo"
She came out of her trance.
Mo Roulan flinched lightly before raising her head to look at Chu Feng.
"Boss is calling you inside the office."
Hearing these words, everyone else concentrated on their own works while Mo Roulan had blank eyes.
Looking at the file placed in front of her, she suddenly picked it up and gave it to Chu Feng.
"Assistant Chu, Mr. He must be asking for this file. Please give it to him."
It was not the first time Chu Feng has come to look for Mo Roulan today. He had come before too but every time, Mo Roulan would give him some files and made him return to He Jian's office.
However, this time Chu Feng looked a little awkward as he told Mo Roulan.
"Miss Mo, Boss is asking you to come to his office right now."
Mo Roulan's hands clenched around the file she was holding.
In his office…she needed to go there.
She swallowed audibly before she slowly started to get up from her chair.
She didn't really want to go to He Jian's office.
She still needed time to clear her mind. She still needed to digest that whatever she heard in the morning was really right.
In the morning, Mo Roulan had literally pushed away He Jian after hearing those words.
Clutching the left side of her chest with her hand, she had somehow controlled her fast-beating heart inside the elevator that took her to the floor where her office was.
Now she had to face him again.
"Miss Mo, are you alright?"
Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard Chu Feng's question.
She saw concern flashing in the young assistant's eyes.
Mo Roulan wondered how many times she had been asked the same question in the whole day today in total.
At the same time, she wondered just how bad her face must be looking for everyone to notice that she was really not in the right state of mind today. She forced a smile on her lips and lightly nodded her head.
"Yes, Assistant Chu."
Chu Feng knew that she was lying but he couldn't really force her to tell him what was wrong. He could actually feel that it was something related to his boss.
He had noticed Mo Roulan running out of his boss' car last night.
Perhaps something happened last night only.
Seeing that they were in front of the office's door, Chu Feng first knocked on the door and then opened the door for her slightly and said
"Please, Miss Mo."
Mo Roulan was startled.
Chu Feng was senior to her in the office and hence he should not be behaving so politely with her but she knew very well that it was because of He Jian.
Even the concern he showed to her just a few moments ago was only because of He Jian only.
In front of the Young assistant's politeness, she could only nod her head lightly and step forward.
However, the thought of going inside and being in the company of the same man didn't settle well with Mo Roulan.
What will he say? What will she say?
Chu Feng sighed as he suddenly pitied Mo Roulan. She doesn't look like she really wanted to go inside.
However, he knew very well that his boss would not let her go just like this.
Mo Roulan's mind was completely blank.
She wished that she would be able to run away from here just like she had run away in the morning.
With a helpless heart and mind, she could only step forward and step inside the office.
.
.
.
He Jian immediately raised his head when he heard the sound of the door being opened.
He saw that the door was slightly opened but no one stepped inside.
A frown marred his forehead when he didn't see anyone for the next few moments. He thought that this time also, Mo Roulan had given some file to Chu Feng in order to avoid him.
The next moment, he stood up from the chair and started to walk towards the slightly opened door. He would go to her table if she would not come here.
He was just near the door when a figure stepped inside the office and bumped against his chest.
"Omph…"
He Jian heard a groan and then a sweet scent filled his nostrils.
A smile suddenly spread on his lips as he knew who it was.
With one hand, he closed the door.
When Mo Roulan didn't raise her head, he got worried and asked with distress in his voice.
"Lanlan, are you alright?"
Mo Rooulan finally raised her head and He Jian felt his breath stopping when he saw her slightly most eyes.
Perhaps she bumped her nose against his chest as it looked a little red. Even her hand was on it and her eyes were slightly teary.
She looked like a cute little bunny.
He Jian was surprised at his own thought and wondered just when did he start to think that the bunnies were cute. Perhaps it was when he realized his feelings for Mo Roulan.
He smiled lightly as he stepped closer to Mo Roulan if it was possible. With one of his hand, he removed her hand from her nose and tried to rub it for her.
However, his fingers had just touched her, when Mo Roulan flinched and stepped away from him as if she got scalded.
He Jian's eyes went blank.
The office was filled with an awkward silence and Mo Roulan immediately felt the surrounding temperature dropping.
Her heart was beating very fast inside her chest and she didn't know what she should say or do.
What was expected from her after today's morning?
But she didn't even want to talk about that?
It was after a few moments, she heard He Jian's voice which was very different from how gentle it was before.
"Lanlan, this morning…"
Mo Roulan's heart sank and she interrupted He Jian before he could complete his words.
"Mr. He, what did you call me here for? Is it to discuss some new project? I forgot to bring my notebook and pen. Please give me a minute. I will go back and bring it. "
Mo Roulan said and turned to leave the office in hurry.
However, behind her, He Jian frowned deeply.
When he saw Mo Roulan leaving again just like she had left in the morning, his frown went deeper and he swiftly held her wrist.
He forcefully made her turn around. Looking into her shocked eyes, he said strictly.
"You are not going anywhere now! I am not going to let you avoid me."
