Ye Xian tried to withdraw her hand uncomfortably but not only failed to do so, but also found her hand gripped even tighter.
Bo Tingshen held her small hand tightly, gazing at her with deep fixation.
Ye Xian, seeing his serious demeanor, was somewhat startled.
The CEO couldn’t have been joking just now, he must have really thought she was interested in him, right?
She had been interested in his brother Jiang Wanze before, and now she had shifted her affection to him?
No wonder he was so calm – this was a prelude to wanting her dead!
"Of course not! How could I possibly harbor improper thoughts about you, CEO? The reason I dare not look at you is that I’m gay, and in our gay world, the existence of men is like women in the eyes of heterosexual men. Do you think, CEO, that you could calmly help a woman undress and bathe without your heart skipping a beat?!"
Her righteous rebuttal was supposed to lessen his hostility, but to her surprise, the fiery warmth in the man’s eyes before her gradually faded, replaced by icy coldness, "You don’t like me?"
"Of course not, how could I possibly like you!"
Ye Xian blurted out without a second thought as if compelled by an instinct.
"Then whom do you like?"
"I don’t like anyone."
"What if someone liked you?"
Ye Xian immediately raised two fingers, making a swearing gesture to show her loyalty, "Rest assured, CEO, I will decisively reject him. No dilly-dallying at all! Ah..."
In the middle of her speech, her hand hurt.
Bo Tingshen, holding her hand, had unconsciously tightened his grip, as if trying to press her into his body, while a towering rage leaked from his noble and clear brows and eyes.
"CEO, you’re hurting me!"
Her small face crumpled as she looked at him, and Bo Tingshen slightly loosened his hold.
Daniel called cut, and the filming of the promotional video’s four scenes came to an end.
Out of the blue, her phone started ringing, and Ye Xian picked it up and stepped aside to answer.
After hanging up, she hastily said to Bo Tingshen, "CEO, the drama crew just told me that the mainstream media from Apple Platform wants to interview the actors, I have to go over!"
"Right now! The car is already waiting for me outside, if I don’t go now, I might be too late."
Her look of eagerness to leave was clear and made Bo Tingshen’s lips gradually tighten, his jaw clenching like a drawn string.
"Alright! I’ll have to trouble you and Daniel a lot more for the promotional video!"
Daniel: "No problem at all, I’ll send it to you once it’s edited."
"Thank you so much! It’s been hard on you! I’ll be sure to take you out for a meal another day!"
The last few words were still for Daniel, she didn’t glance at him once as she turned and ran off.
Bo Tingshen watched her retreating figure until she vanished from sight.
He really wanted to...
Daniel, watching Bo Tingshen’s intense gaze as Ye Xian ran off, felt an eerie chill for no apparent reason.
As a senior photographer, no one was better at capturing emotions through the lens than he, and although he was puzzled when he received the call to shoot the promotional video, he didn’t think too much about it.
But after shooting these four scenes, he saw right away that the CEO was deeply infatuated with Ye Xian.
"CEO, the shooting is over. When would you like the finished product?"
"The sooner, the better." Bo Tingshen picked up the Coke that the young man had taken a sip from on the table and, aligning his mouth with the faint trace, drained it in one gulp, "Edit it so it doesn’t show his face and send it to him, give me the original."
