Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Chapter 282: Chapter 282 I was stunned for a moment; I hadn’t expected Man Hongying to be so bold and proactive.
But since she didn’t mind, I felt even less of a psychological burden.
However, just as I was about to continue, that damn knocking, once again, interrupted…
“Chairman, there is an important contract that requires your personal attention…”
Hearing the secretary’s words, Man Hongying gave me a reluctant look, her tone filled with wistfulness, “Ah… I’m just fated to be busy.”
“Sorry, Little Tian, I have to take care of real business now, and I’m afraid… we can’t continue.”
I could only nod and agree, knowing that for such things, the alignment of time, place, and people was crucial, and nothing could be forced.
If it could be done, that was great; if not, I wouldn’t force it.
At this moment, Man Hongying’s face was flushed. She quickly wiped her body with tissue.
After both of us had straightened ourselves out, she then opened the door.
“Chairman, the contract.”
When the secretary set down the document, she glanced at Man Hongying, seemingly suspecting something.
Certainly noticing the secretary’s odd behavior, Man Hongying said with a laugh, “Little Li, didn’t you mention you had a lumbar muscle strain? Master Xu is really good at massaging, let her give you a rub later.”
“This… there’s no need for that.”
Secretary Li looked at me, clearly not quite convinced of my massage skills.
“What, you don’t believe me? It’s not like it’ll cost you anything, and there’s no harm in trying. I guarantee you’ll feel very comfortable,” promised Man Hongying with a meaningful look.
“Then… then I’ll give it a try.”
Since the conversation had come this far, Secretary Li felt too embarrassed to refuse and blushed as she agreed.
Right after that, Man Hongying introduced me with a smile, “Master Xu, this is my secretary, Li Tao. She has a master’s degree and just started working this year. She’s only a few years older than you.”
“Hello, Secretary Li.”
I greeted her with a smile and sized up Li Tao from head to toe.
I have to admit that Man Hongying really knew how to pick them; Li Tao was quite exceptional in both figure and appearance, and she carried that distinctive gentle grace of southern women.
Especially today, her OL outfit, with those black silk legs and long black hair, was truly seductive.
As I was appraising her, she too was looking at me.
“Secretary Li, it’s discomfort in your waist, right?” I initiated.
Li Tao walked over to the couch and sat down, straightening her back, “Mhm, probably because I’ve been sitting for too long. It’s a bit of muscle strain, not too serious.”
“Mhm, let me feel it.”
Saying that, I moved closer to her.
By then, I had drawn near her side, inhaling her fragrance, which stirred something within me.
The scent emitted by Li Tao was distinctly different from Man Hongying’s.
Her smell was more like jasmine, sweet and fresh.
Whereas Man Hongying’s scent was more like a full-bloom peony, passionate and charming.
But as I leaned in, I could clearly sense her tension, her delicate body taut as a bowstring.
“Secretary Li, I’m going to touch it, don’t tense up.”
As I spoke, my hand slowly placed itself on her slender waist, gently squeezing, getting a feel for it.
As I continued, the flame inside me that had just been snuffed blazed up once again.
“Master Xu, ouch, it hurts…”
Presumably because I had hit a key spot, Li Tao cried out in pain, and the peculiar sound of her voice made me uncomfortable, unexpectedly arousing a reaction in me.
“Right here. I’ll give you an acupuncture treatment later which should provide some relief. If you do it a few more times, it can be completely cured.”
“Just lie down for now.”
I took a deep breath, trying my best to calm down.
After all, this was my first encounter with Secretary Li, and with Man Hongying sitting close by, even if I had any thoughts, I wouldn’t dare act on them.
“Alright then, you guys take your time with the massage, I’m going out.”
Man Hongying winked at me, leaving that suggestive comment, and then picked up the contract and walked out.
“Chairman, I apologize for the trouble…”
Li Tao politely uttered, somewhat embarrassed, and then gave me a glance.
Once Man Hongying had left, Li Tao mustered up the courage, took off her high heels, and placed her long, beautiful legs on the couch.
Her sweet and cute face was now cloaked with a layer of blush, appearing irresistibly charming.
And the glimpse of allure from her neckline as she bent over was filled with tantalizing charm in every move.
When she lay down, I took a deep breath and slowly reached my hand toward her…
