CHAPTER 1614 ONE OF MINE
Suddenly, someone knocked on her door and Xiaozhao let out a yelp from being in a panic. She nearly dropped her phone onto the floor and her face paled even more.
Was that lunatic from downstairs here?
She was instantly reminded of those eyes staring at her from beneath the hoodie, and she felt all her hair stand on end as a chill ran down her spine.
DOONG DOONG DOONG!
The knocking got louder!
Xiaozhao was on the verge of tears.
Her limbs trembled as she inched towards the door but didn't dare to open it at all. Her throat was all dry as she managed to pluck up the courage to just yell out, "Wh-who is it?!"
She purposely yelled loudly in hope of making herself feel braver.
It's me!
Fei's voice came in loudly from outside.
Xiaozhao nearly broke down in tears when she heard Fei's voice. She quickly looked through the peephole to confirm it was Fei, then she pulled the door open. Her eyes were reddening and she looked both upset and angry.
"Why didn't you pick up my call?" Her voice cracked a little.
"I'm just next door.” Fei shrugged and looked helplessly at her. "International calls are very expensive, you know?"
Xiaozhao smashed her little fist into Fei's shoulder. She was so angry that she felt like biting him. "I'll reimburse you for it!"
"So what's the matter?" asked Fei nonchalantly. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"There's someone out there!” said Xiaozhao. "Someone threw a rock at my window and stared at me from downstairs too. Also...he even called my room and said that he's going to come up and look for me. I'm...I'm scared!"
Xiaozhao looked nothing like the proud and bossy secretary to the CEO of Lin Group now. She was like a little girl and her voice even trembled from her fear.
"Nobody's here," said Fei flippantly. "It's just a prank by the locals, just don't open the door to strangers."
He laughed and reached out to touch Xiaozhao's hair. "Madam, do you know what time it is? You've not bathed nor washed your hair - can you please be more hygienic?"
"Why you..."
Xiaozhao was all nervous and afraid moments ago, but after hearing what Fei said, she immediately got so angry that she pouted and glared hard at him like she was going to bite his head off.
"You're representing Lin Group, as well as my Big Boss and his precious wife, so please take care of your image, alright?” Fei couldn't be bothered to say so much to her and pushed her back into the room. "Alright now, shut your windows properly, take a bath, go to bed. Nobody will harass you, so just have a good night's rest."
Then he shut the door from outside.
Xiaozhao stood in the doorway and looked at the door that Fei had shut behind him. She pursed her lips and scoffed. She suddenly didn't feel as afraid as before anymore.
This young punk was just next door after all. This fellow was supposed to be a good brother of Jiang Ning, and since Jiang Ning was so formidable, this fellow was probably pretty good too, right?
She took a deep breath, then smelled her own hair. "It still smells good, ok?!
HUMPH!”
Then she went to take a bath.
Meanwhile.
After Fei shut Xiaozhao's room door, he walked to the end of the corridor.
A man sat in the dark corner of the
corridor as he panted heavily. Both of his arms lay limply by his side and he couldn't move at all.
His face was covered in fresh blood!
There was no viciousness or violence in his eyes at all. There was only fear, a deep seated terror that came from within his bones and the depth of his heart!
"Who...who is she...to you..."
The man squeezed a smile out as if he was pleading for mercy, but the fear on his face made his expression look very ugly.
Fei walked over to him, squat down and patted the man's cheek hard as he replied calmly, "She's one of Lin Group's! And she's one of mine!"
