The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 259

“Pan Zihao.” October called out the name that seemed so weird coming from her lips. But that annoying feeling she felt was not shown on her face as she continued to keep her cool while looking at the man who was standing before her with his head held high and eyes condescending.

The man seemed to falter at the name October called him. His brows furrowed tightly while sending October a small glare which vanished just a second after it surfaced.

“I am already a model contracted by a lot of designers and companies. I don’t like people calling me by that old name.” He said while smirking arrogantly at October, looking down on her.

‘This is October? She looked pretty, prettier than I remembered. But still, she is still as boring as she was before. That expressionless and emotionless face of hers that seemed to have lost it’s basic functions was as if he was looking at a life-sized doll. Especially that dull eyes of hers! It’s really making me sick.’

But deep down, buried at the deepest corners of his heart, the one thing he yearned for all those years he was with her was the one thing he did not even know himself. And that one thing was to see her smile gentle at him with an affectionate gaze looking at him.

Unfortunately, the day he would realize this was also the day of his despair. And that day may not be long.

“Right. I’ll remember that, Mr…what was your name again? Mr. “model contracted by many designers”?” October’s face did not show any sort of change as it remained stoic and bored. However, the tone of her voice was another matter. It was full of sarcasm which he did not expect at all.

The assistants who were showing their dislike to him just a while ago did not hold themselves from snorting at him and whispering snide remarks about him. They had even pointed at him which clearly did not sit well with him.

He glared hatefully at October as humiliation started to eat him. His jaw tightened. ‘Why does it seem like Lanna had changed into someone so vicious? She was never like this before. She was an innocent person so pure yet stupid. She was gullible really. There was never a time in which she had never gotten angry. She did not even blink her eyes when they broke up but now, her tongue is so sharp it could cut his flesh.’

“I’m now Zhihuan.” He said after calming himself down which really took a toll of him. After that, he gave out a small chuckle while running his fingers through his blonde-dyed hair.

October did not say anything, only nodding her head nonchalantly. She was clearly showing him that she was not at all interested about it and just returned to flipping through the pages of the magazine. She had just completely ignored Zhihuan in front of her.

Zhihuan did not like that too. ‘The nerve of this woman! She dared to ignore me. Who does she think she is? I was just being friendly to her as they had some past and yet she ignored me like air?’

Under the staring eyes full of contempt directed at him, Zhihuan boldly went to sit a distance away from October. October did not care what he do as she turned all of her attention into learning the new fashion.

How ironic it was to know that she, the Assistant Director of the Marketing Department of Halo Company, was not adept with fashion. She felt embarrassed about it. This was her incompetency. The industry she was in to was somewhat related to fashion and so she was to do her job well.

But the darn man just won’t let her off. At her peripheral vision, she saw that Zhihuan had slowly but surely inched closer to her. It was so obvious that it started to irritate her.

She pursed her lips and also moved away from him. But this only made it worse as Zhihuan got up and sat right next to October that startled her tremendously. She sharply turned only to froze up.

October had come face to face with Zhihuan who’s face was only inches away from hers. It was…vexing!

October abruptly stood up from the sofa and looked down at Zhihuan who was still in a daze while looking wide-eyed at her. But she did not care about what he was thinking right now. All she cared about was that she was feeling very disgusted to be at such close proximity with a man other than Lexus, even if that man was her ex-boyfriend.

“Mr. Zhihuan,” She stressed his stage name as she coldly looked at him, “Please be mindful of your actions. Maybe you act like that to all of the girls and ladies you’ve met but don’t lump me into them.”

In other words, she said “I am not a manwhre like you who goes to almost every ladies you laid eyes on.”

“You btch! I am not that kind of a bstard. Also, you were once my girlfriend so why are you acting like some untainted saint?! Just know that you were once mine.” After snapping, he went to grab October’s arm angrily.

But was stopped as a hand had grabbed his wrist. He yanked his arm to free himself but the hand holding him was like unbreakable chains. It even got tighter making him hiss in pain.

“Let go of me, you fcking retard!”

“Ohohoho~!” A laugh that was used by ladies sounded, but this laugh that was supposed to be feminine and sweet was not at all like that was it was more masculine and throaty.

“You little man who’s as thin as a stick, you dare to cause ruckus in my store? Even offending my master?” Josh chuckled sweetly. His burly body towering over Zhihuan.

“Ah-? Mr Josh, I apologize for my disrespect to you. I was stopped by your employees at the door. They were really impudent as they used your name to lie that I was not allowed to set my food inside your store which was really absurd. I am your model so I have the right to be here.”

“Oh my. I had let you go so easily last time because you were just stupid. Yet I never thought that your mind is full of sht. How can you be a well-known model when your brain is as small as a bird’s?” Josh’s voice was sweet-sounding and was even giggling as if his words were full of praises when in fact it was filled with poisonous thorns.

Zhihuan almost vomitted blood because of Josh’s rude remarks. He did not only called him stupid but was worse than stupid. How humiliating was this? Because his mind was full of making up excuses to get on the good side of Josh, he had not noticed what Josh had addressed October with.

“Lyndonn, just toss him out.” October casually said while crossing her arms, looking indifferently at Zhihuan who was openly glaring at her.

“Yes, young madam.” Lyndonn swiftly grabbed Zhihuan with his shirt and dragged him out of the store. He had been itching to bash this man for a long time now but because his young madam gave him an eye, he was not able to do it. But now, he can finally help his young madam exact her grievances.

After this, he also has to report this incident to his young master.

Inside the store…

“Hmph!” He humphed, annoyed, while jabbing his huge hand on his hip with a flick of his nonexistent long hair. His eyes then turned to October with raised brow. “That annoying fly kept on bothering this days and I had finally tossed him out of the store. Girls, ban him from entering. If he would not leave, call the police and let them deal with them.”

“Anyway, what I am most surprised about was your relationship with him. I did not know you knew each other.” Josh giggled with his hand covering his lips tinted with red and with eyes sparkling with gossip.

‘What what what? This is so interesting. What that annoying fly was dearest October’s ex-boyfie? That’s really interesting.’

“Yes.” October did not deny it and just outright admit it. She was someone who does not deny anything that was true or even keep secrets. She thought that it was unnecessary. “He dumped me when we were in university.”

“More importantly, do you know her?” October asked Josh, eyes full of doubt.

“Oh, him?” Josh thought it weird that October addressed the man on the picture as “her.” But he let it slide.

“Yes, he is a rising star. He’s really good.” Josh put a finger on his lips. “I was also thinking of hiring him myself.”

October felt like her head was starting to throb. ‘So is this the reason why she was not around these days because of her modelling? Since when did she got interested in these things?’

“He is a “she.” She just likes to dress like a man. Her name’s Ma Rong, my best friend.” She said with a sigh.
