Chapter 345 - : So, I’m Paranoid?
Chapter 345: Chapter 345: So, I’m Paranoid?
The only person who would call at this hour—Li Beijue!
Sure enough, as Chi Enen took her mobile phone out of her bag, the screen arrogantly declared its existence with the bold letters “Paranoid.” Holding her phone, she said to Fatty Fish in front of her, “Big Boss, I’m sorry, I need to take a call.”
“All right, all right, go ahead.” Fatty Fish now thought she was the best in every way, almost bowing and scraping.
Chi Enen knew a certain person’s temper; if she didn’t answer now, he would definitely roar when she finally did. So without much ado with Fatty Fish, she walked to a corner of the corridor and answered the call.
She had answered quickly enough, but the man on the other end still wasn’t pleased, “Chi Enen, it took you several seconds to answer the phone. What are you doing?”
“What else could I do, dealing with people trying to suck up to you, obviously.”
This morning, she had indeed witnessed what’s called the lure of power—with both the known and the unknown showing their true colors.
Li Beijue’s brows furrowed, “Is someone harassing you? Who?”
Chi Enen hurried to deny it, “No, not harassment, just chatting with me as usual, saying hello, that’s all.”
“Okay, never mind them. Come up, I’m waiting for you on the 33rd floor.”
“I still have work…” but before she could finish her sentence, the phone had already been hung up.
Emma!
Is he a tyrant?
Chi Enen, speechless, still took the elevator to the 33rd floor, no matter how reluctant she was. The girls at the front desk of the CEO Office greeted her politely, a stark contrast to their attitude the first time. Chi Enen forced a smile, stiff-faced, and entered the CEO’s office.
In the office.
The proud and noble man sat in a leather swivel chair, and upon seeing her, he immediately waved his hand, “Come here.”
Despite feeling like he summoned her like a pet, Chi Enen still walked over.
As soon as she did, Li Beijue immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Then, he snatched her phone, cracked her password in no time at all, and slid open the screen. Using his own phone, he sent a picture to her.
“Ding—” Chi Enen’s text message tone on her phone rang.
The notification of a new message from “Paranoid” was especially conspicuous on the screen.
It was over, her heart skipped a beat with panic, hastily trying to cover the screen, but it was already too late.
“Paranoid? Huh?” No matter how she heard it, it felt like an impending storm!
Chi Enen dared not look into his eyes and diverted the topic, “Li Beijue, did you know there’s a new movie released recently? It’s ‘Dangal,’ and Bae Chi said he wants to see it. Let’s go to the cinema together someday; they say this movie is really good…”
“So, I am Paranoid?”
Faced with this sudden turn, Chi Enen found she couldn’t play along.
His chest ached with anger, his handsome face dark and sullen. If he wasn’t so reluctant, he would have strangled the woman in his arms already!
Was he paranoid?
In front of her, he had been as restrained as possible! How could this ungrateful woman not remember any of his good sides!
And she even gave him such an unsightly nickname! Damn it, why couldn’t she learn from other women and call her husband “Honey” or “Darling”? Instead, she chose “Paranoid”! Anyone unaware would think she was harassed by some psycho!
“…That was a name I picked before; if you don’t like it, I’ll change it,” Chi Enen reached out to grab her phone.
