Gold Heights Condominium.
Iris headed to the living area after taking a shower. She found Dom sitting on the floor, his back leaning against the lower part of the couch, watching a documentary about exotic cuisines on TV.
He turned his head when he heard her approach. She sat on the couch beside him.
"Boss, a Mr. Jin Liwei called while you were in the shower. Do you know him? He wants you to either reply to his e-mails or give him a call. He said that he's been trying to contact you for weeks now. Hmph! He sounded so bossy. He left his number. Do you want it?"
Iris frowned. "No. I don't want that man's number. Why does he keep on bothering me?"
"Who is he?" he asked.
He continued watching the documentary as he repeated the man's name in his head. After some time, his eyes widened. "Wait. Don't tell me he's that Jin Liwei? Jin Corporation's Jin Liwei?"
"Yes."
Dom gasped. "Oh my God! Boss! That Jin Liwei is bothering you? Wow. As expected of my boss! Even people bothering you are on another level. Maybe he likes you. Ehehe."
"Don't be ridiculous. We don't like each other. I don't want to have anything to do with that arrogant man."
"Ehehehe."
"Stop. You're creeping me out."
The housekeeper, Yi Mei, appeared. "Young Miss, the receptionist downstairs called saying that a Mr. Jin Liwei wants to see you."
"Ayiiii! I knew it!" Dom covered his mouth, his eyes shining with excitement.
Iris' heart thumped.
What did the damn arrogant man come here for?
"Young Miss? Should I invite him up or turn him away?" Yi Mei asked her.
Iris frowned.
"Should I turn him away then?" Yi Mei asked again.
"Yes! Wait, no. No. Invite him up." Iris sighed.
Dom squealed. "Oh my God oh my God oh my God!!! Jin Liwei is coming! Aaaah!" He fanned himself dramatically with his hands.
"Let's find out what he wants. Dom, tell the maids to prepare some refreshments." Iris inwardly wondered why she suddenly started feeling nervous.
"Right away, boss!"
A few minutes later, Yi Mei led Jin Liwei inside the penthouse to where Iris and Dom were waiting.
He looked tall and immaculate in his custom-made business suit. His handsome face wore a cold, irritated expression. When he saw the damn girl sitting and sipping tea, looking all relaxed, he felt even more irritated. He hurried towards her.
"Why aren't you replying to my e-mails?" he growled when he reached her.
"And hello to you too, Mr. Jin," she said, placing the teacup on the table gently. "Please have a seat."
"No. Answer me first. Why are you ignoring me?"
Iris' eyes twitched, trying to rein in her temper.
Were they close? Why was this man acting so familiar with her?
She replied to him coolly, "I see that you're still very rude, Mr. Jin."
Dom looked at the two, his eyes sparkling.
"Long Xiulan, don't test my patience," he snarled.
"Mr. Jin Liwei, I have no intention of testing you or anyone else's patience." She finally snapped. "I already told you before that I don't want to see you ever again. Tell me. Why did you come? What do you want from me?"
Her face flushed with anger, making her even more attractive in his eyes. Her last sentence echoed in his mind: What do you want from me want from me want from me from me…
His control snapped.
He pulled her roughly to his chest. His right hand grabbed a fistful of hair behind her head, his left arm circled around her tiny waist lifting her up. She gasped, alarmed. His mouth smashed against her lips.
She squirmed in his embrace, fighting against his sudden aggression, hitting his shoulders and trying to push his head away. She wanted to escape but he was too strong.
She bit his lips until she tasted blood, yet he didn't stop. Angry that he got bitten, he growled and kissed her even more deeply, sucking hard on her lips.
"Oh oh oh! Oh my God! What should I do? My boss' tofu is getting eaten! Should I save her? Should I punch him? But he's Jin Liwei! Oh my. This is so hot. I want to take a video, maybe just photos…but they'll probably murder me…oh oh oh."
Dom mumbled in excitement, pacing from side to side as he watched the kissing scene in front of him.
Yi Mei stood frozen in shock, one hand clutching her chest. The poor housekeeper looked like she would fall over at any moment.
Iris' heart thundered inside her chest. She was so furious that she wanted to bite this damn man's head off! She was going to murder this villain! How dare he do this to her inside her own home?!
But but but…what was this?
She felt breathless and a bit dizzy. She slackened a bit, trying to determine the sensations she was currently feeling. She had never felt this way before in her two lives.
Jin Liwei felt her resistance weakening. Of course, he didn't let this opportunity escape him. A strong desire to possess the damn girl in his embrace overcame him.
His tongue snaked inside her sweet mouth, invading her. He sucked her tongue, making her whimper.
Iris moaned, closing her eyes. She lost the ability to think. All she could feel was the man kissing her senseless. She wasn't aware that both her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer.
He groaned, the hand on her hair slid down to her butt and squeezed hard.
"
Jin Liwei felt irritated to be interrupted and was about to dive in for another kiss, but Iris turned her head to look dazedly at her assistant who was now lying on the floor together with a fallen chair.
"Ehe. Don't mind me. Go on. Please continue what you're doing." Dom climbed up from the floor and righted the chair he crashed into in his overexcitement.
Dom's words cleared her dazed state. She pushed her hands against Jin Liwei's chest.
"Mr. Jin, put me down."
"No." His arms tightened around her.
"Put me down this instant!"
They glared at each other for a few moments before Jin Liwei reluctantly released her.
Iris quickly put some distance between them, trying to catch her breath and calm her racing heart. This…she frowned. She knew that she didn't like the damn arrogant man and didn't want to see him again, yet why…
She looked at him intensely, her head tilted to one side, trying to think of a logical explanation of why he induced these weird sensations on her body.
Jin Liwei ran a hand through his hair, trying desperately to calm his inner beast. He lost control. Dammit! He actually lost control.
The frustrating weeks of her not replying to his e-mails made him think about her constantly, souring his mood every single day. He wanted to request more of her reports about other companies but the damn girl kept on ignoring him. He couldn't take it anymore, so he called her but still wasn't able to talk to her directly. He was so frustrated that he impulsively rushed to her place.
He looked at the damn girl once again and saw her intense gaze on him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did you fall in love with me?" He teased.
"I don't know how to exactly determine such an illogical and unscientific state as falling in love," she told him in a serious tone. "I can somewhat understand the idea based on what others and the media say. I think I can even act like one who has fallen in love, but the descriptions explaining this state are too abstract for a 100% certainty. Hmm. Maybe what I'm feeling is…lust?" She frowned, thinking deeply. "Dom, get my laptop. I need to search this up."
"Eh? Er…okay, boss." Dom looked at his boss weirdly and then at Jin Liwei, his eyes drifting down to the man's bulging crotch.
Oh. Dom's eyes glinted with a knowing expression. It was difficult, but he was able to peel his eyes away. He started to leave, but then returned to gently drag the still frozen housekeeper away.
Jin Liwei was taken aback. "You...why would you search up something like that? Have you never felt horny before?"
Well, not like he felt horny before either until now in front of this damn girl. But he wouldn't tell her that.
Iris looked at him like he was stupid. "I'm not a man. I don't have a penis that gets hard, so I don't have anything concrete to determine whether I'm feeling horny or not."
His mouth fell open. He tried several times to say something but failed. Finally, he told her, "You know you're feeling horny if you want to have sex."
"I see. I'm not feeling horny then. I don't want to have sex with you, Mr. Jin."
