Snakel’s tone was light as a feather flitting across her heart. He breathed out warmly in the vicinity of Gu Mengmeng’s nose, and said in an alluring manner, “From now on, you are only allowed to wear the clothes I buy for you, to use the things I get for you. From head to toe… you can only bear my mark.”
Gu Mengmeng blinked awkwardly. “Am I going to be your kept woman?”
Snakel’s smile deepened, as if savoring the words “kept woman”. He thought about it. “Why not.”
Gu Mengmeng kicked Snakel’s shin and ducked under his armpit. She only turned around to face him after fleeing seven to eight steps away. “Let me tell you. I can work for you, but will never sell my body to you. If you are looking for some workplace shenanigans, look for someone else. I am not doing it.”
Snakel didn’t get angry, and instead smiled.
Leaning against the car door, he looked at Gu Mengmeng with his arms crossed.
Tsk, his Twomeng still looked so charming all worked up.
She was a principled good girl.
“Twomeng, come over here.” Snakel waved before reaching his palm out, waiting for Gu Mengmeng to place her own hand in his.
Gu Mengmeng took another step back. She faced off Snakel with a stubborn look.
Snakel didn’t get flustered, but just smiled. “You are now my personal special assistant. You need to attend all sorts of events with me. In other words, you represent me. If you dress too shabbily, it will be a loss of face to me. So… these clothes are your work clothes, given to you by the company.”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it…
She felt Snakel’s explanation was rather logical.
Blushing, she realized that she might have overreacted.
Clearing her throat, she said, “Then… what did you mean by your mark… what…”
Snakel kept his palm out to her as he answered, “As my special assistant, every detail from head to toe must be of the utmost standard. Your own tastes…”
Gu Mengmeng stared at Snakel with a “speechless” expression, before looking down at her own clothes. Her face reddened.
She had on a cheap t-shirt and equally cheap pair of jeans, as well as pair of leather shoes bought on sale. She also carried a large, commonplace book bag bought from a night market… ha, her outfit definitely didn’t match up to the status of a CEO.
Snakel didn’t mean to ridicule Gu Mengmeng. The pain and suffering she had endured over the years caused him much heartache.
Seeing that she still refused to come over, Snakel stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. He gently held the back of her neck as he whispered into her ear. “The next time I call you, you must come over to me, understand?”
Snakel’s embrace was so warm that Gu Mengmeng forgot to struggle. She unexpectedly answered with a “yeah”, totally unaware of what was happening to her.
Snakel smiled tenderly. His voice was so gentle that Gu Mengmeng felt numb all over. He also unwittingly revealed his own infatuation. “You cannot go back on something you have promised me. I have already waited for so long… I don’t want to wait for even one more second.”
“So the next time I call you, if you don’t come over… I will go to you instead.”
Gu Mengmeng felt like someone was tugging at her heart. That intense sensation left her somewhat in a trance.
It was as if something was sprinting across her heart, too quickly for her to grasp.
Still in a daze, she was led by Snakel into the car and sent back to the villa. She bathed and dressed on autopilot, before falling into bed. Nevertheless, her eyes remained wide open all the way till the next morning. One sentence kept playing repeatedly in her mind: I have already waited for so long… I don’t want to wait for even one more second. If you don’t come over… I will go to you instead.
