Her head was on his chest. She could hear his heart beating faster. Same rhythm with hers. She had not expected the sudden hug as she was still dazed and her eyes wide open. His scent engulfed her. Her instinctive reaction was to pull away. She shouldn't be hugging her boss. But when he exerted little pressure to keep her from doing so, she didn't push further. She felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She felt light and warm. 'I...am hugging Li Muchen' Unconsciously, she snuggled closer when that thought hit her.
She gradually lifted her hands to hug him back. But she stopped midway. "Mis...Mister Li. We can't do this here. Someone might see"
He broke free from the hug and looked at her. With his dimples revealed, he smiled. "So you are saying we can do this elsewhere then?"
Sara shook her head vigorously. "I never said that!"
The smile in his face disappeared when he asked. "Are you afraid CEO Mo would see you hugging me? Do you like him?"
