Falling In Love With The Devil - 24 Are You Trying To Bribe Me With Food?

Seeing Ying Yue’s face, usually calm and stoic, turn into one of slight panic, the leader was very happy and continued to insult her, ” Gosh! Why is your face still so ugly? Do you think if we scratch it a few times, it will finally give you the courage to do plastic surgery? ”

The onlookers continued laughing and the scene had now become the focus of the whole cafeteria.

Ying Yue didn’t say anything and quickly ran away, feeling that the mask was slowly peeling off her face.

She wanted to run to the toilets but some people in the cafeteria told their friends about what happened and some girls blocked the entrance of every bathroom Ying Yue came across.

Slightly frustrated, Ying Yue bit her lower lip, turned the corner of a hallway and finally remembered a spot where she could hide.

She quickly climbed up the stairs to the highest level of the gigantic building and slammed open the door to the rooftop.

Closing the door behind her, Ying Yue put her hand on the door, supporting herself and catching her breath. Her mask had almost slipped down her eyes. Just a bit more and her real face would have been revealed.

” Gosh! These kids really keep getting worst and dumber by the second! I get the expression now: never be scared of people with brains but be scared of people who don’t have one!” Ying Yue sighed as she took off her mask, that was sliding down and irritating her skin. The cream protecting her skin had almost been completely washed up and the mask had become a bit bothersome.

“Dammit, I can’t use it anymore! We’ll have to work on this mask a bit more…” Ying Yue said after successfully and completely taking off her mask and looking at its soak state.

She put it in her black jean’s pocket and took out some tissue to absorb the water dripping from her lovely face and undone her tight bun that made her head hurt, letting her long and luxurious, brown hair cascading on her shoulders, ” Why is it so hard to have a normal student life? ”

She looked at her surroundings and saw that the previous lifeless rooftop from her old memories had turned into a lovely garden, nothing too fancy but definitely peaceful and calming.

Ying Yue went to the border of the rooftop and let the wind brush past her as she tried to think about what to do to go back down.

Ying Yue sighed when she suddenly felt a presence and turned around but at that exact moment, her phone started ringing.

She quickly picked it up and saw that the caller was the vice president from her company Starlight, ” What do you want Little Jiang? ”

” President! How are you doing? ” Bo Jiang asked in a slightly flustered voice, completely different from his usually serious and indifferent tone.

” Could be better…But never mind this, my time is precious. Tell me what you want. ” Ying Yue said in a casual voice while scrutinizing the rooftop and slowly walking towards the presence she felt.

Bo Jiang was a bit disappointed with Ying Yue’s response but still refocused and conveyed her the important information, ” Well, I just wanted to tell you that the Chen Corporation wants to collaborate with us and that because it’s important we need you to attend a meeting tomorrowthat will only take ten minutes just to sign the contract.”

” Chen Corparation? ” Ying Yue stopped in her tracks to question Bo Jiang, ” It sounds familiar… ”

” President, that’s the strongest company in China, the only company coming slightly before us…”

” Ahhhhh! But I don’t care. Can’t you just sign for me like always? I’ll even give you a raise! ” Ying Yue said in a cute voice.

” President, you are the boss, you should care… ” thought Bo Jiang rubbing his temples.

” President, money isn’t the problem. Your presence is all we need. ” Bo Jiang slowly convinced as he was already used to his eccentric boss.

” And what do you think they will say when they discover that the president of the mighty empire Starlight has a 23 years old president? Do you think they will trust us? ” Ying Yue said seriously.

” They will, because this will only show how much our president is capable. ” Bo Jiang answered.

” Little Jiang, you know I’m just a ghost president, you are the one doing all the work. ” Ying Yue argued while pinching the bridge of her nose.

” That is not true, I will confidently debate you on this subject anytime. ” the man confidently responded.

” You freaking little – ” Ying Yue was about to go mad when Bo Jiang cut her off.

” Thank you for coming tomorrow ten minutes before four o’clock, I will buy you your favorite milk tea and your favorite snack. ” Bo Jiang interrupted.

” Are you trying to bribe me with food? ” Ying Yue dumbfoudly asked.

” Yes. ” the main casually answered.

” Do you really think it will work? ” Ying Yue coolly raised her eyebrow.

Bo Jiang didn’tanswer and remained silent but Ying Yue understood what he meant and angrily cut off the line while screaming, ” I will make you pay Little Jiang! ”

…

Hearing his boss curse at him, Bo Jiang lips tugged upwards and his mouth formed a soft smile. Not the usual, ” F*ck off ” business smile nor the ” You are dead. ” smirk nor the entertainment smile he made to make his employees less scare of him or they won’t work… It was one who genuinely came from the heart…

” How long is she going to call me Little Jiang, I’m already 27 this year…” Bo Jiang asked in a soft voice.

…

” You come out! ” After putting back her phone, Ying Yue turned to a corner and saw a handsome guy sitting on a bench with a book.

The boy silently lifted his gaze and was completely taken aback by the beauty in front of him. She was definitly not the prettiest girl in the world but all her clear and delicate features were soothing to the eye and the warm sunlight illuminating her from behind made Ying Yue look more pretty than normal.

He actually had been here from the beginning and had heard everything she said. At first he was extremely mad that someone trespassed his territory and made a huge reccus but then he heard her talk on the phone and…
