CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

When He Jian reached the floor where his office was and stepped out of the elevator, he first walked to the place where Mo Roulan's table was. The table was vacant. He frowned deeply. Mo Roulan had left the apartment before him so should she not have reached here by now? He Jian didn't know that Mo Roulan had to change two buses to come to He Corporation and a bus was, of course, slower than a car. How could he know this when he had never traveled in a car!

So with a deep frown on his forehead, He Jian walked to his office. As soon as he was seated on his chair, He Jian called Chu Feng.

"Boss."

"Chu Feng, call me as soon as Lanlan comes to the company. If she doesn't come in fifteen minutes, call me then also."

"Yes, Boss." Chu Feng said seriously and He Jian hung up. Though he opened his laptop, he couldn't put his concentration on the work at all. He Jian couldn't even wait for fifteen minutes. After ten minutes of scrolling on his laptop, he suddenly stood up from his chair and decided to go out and check again. How could she not be here even now!

When he was at the door of his office, he heard his phone ringing suddenly. He immediately walked back to his table and slid the screen to answer the call when he saw that it was Chu Feng who was calling him. "Boss, Miss Mo Roulan has reached the office."

"Oh.."

He Jian sighed in relief. He really wanted to go and see Mo Roulan once but then he gave up on that thought. He should wait. She will soon come with his coffee. Thinking this, he smiled and went back to sit on his chair. Sure enough, fifteen minutes later that seemed like a whole day to He Jian, he finally heard a knock on his office's door. He immediately picked some file from the table and said indifferently. "Come in."

As he heard the sound of the door being opened that was followed by the sound of footsteps, he never raised his head.

"Your Coffee, Mr. He."

Mo Roulan said politely as she put the cup of coffee on the table. He Jian finally raised his head and looked at Mo Roulan as he picked the coffee cup and put it on his left-hand side. As he saw Mo Roulan's face that didn't have any emotion, he couldn't help but think that she looked too cute when she was angry. "I will leave now, Mr. He, and come back to report your schedule in half an hour."

Mo Roulan said respectfully and turned around to leave.

However, He Jian held her hand before she could leave. Mo Roulan's body froze feeling the touch and she swiftly turned around to free her hand. Her eyes looking at He Jian were filled with fear and panic, something that He Jian saw clearly. He couldn't help but frown seeing this. "Lanlan, what happened?"

He Jian was startled to see that Mo Roulan was actually scared of him. What happened? It was not the first time he had touched her. Though in the past it had always been when she was so vulnerable and he tried to comfort her in his arms but still…this reaction of Mo Roulan, it bothered him a lot. On the other hand, Mo Roulan took deep breaths as she tried to compose herself. After she had seen Shen Yiling yesterday, though she showed as if nothing affected her, there had been a great change inside Mo Roulan's heart. Something that He Couldn't see and he didn't even have any way to know about this. He was clueless about what was going on inside Mo Roulan's heart. She again had created a big wall around her heart that surrounded it completely because Shen Yiling's appearance reminded her of all those moments when she suffered in her past life.

She didn't want to suffer again. He Jian and Shen Yiling …they were destined and made for each other so she should hold her heart closer to herself not letting anyone affect her and continue to go down the path she had decided to choose for this life. Only her family…their happiness she wanted only that and nothing else. The whole night, Mo Roulan had thought about this only and she had concluded that after completing her internship she would try to meet He Jian as little as possible. She didn't want to depend on him again…just like in her past life. The beginning of it started from this morning itself when she decided to take the bus for He Corporation. With a blank face, Mo Roulan looked at He Jian. She swallowed and immediately felt how dry her throat was. Licking her dry lips, she asked He Jian politely.

"Mr. He, do you need something?"

A deep frown still marred He Jian's face. His heart was filled with many questions but he couldn't bear to ask anything seeing how pale Mo Roulan's face was. Why was she so scared? What was she so scared of?

However, He Jian suppressed all those questions and shook his head. "You can leave."

He said a little gently this time. Mo Roulan was relieved and immediately left the office. Mo Roulan's heart had a change but she was also clueless about He Jian's change of heart. She was clueless that He Jian had already started liking her. So much so that he was not going to let her go just like that. For her, he had gone against his friend, Shen Weisheng also.

After half an hour when Mo Roulan came back, He Jian still didn't ask any questions. He just sneaked a few glances at her face as she noted down in her notebook whatever important he told her. After Mo Roulan left the office, he sighed helplessly and finally called the only person, he thought could help him.freeweb novel.com
