Chapter 104 – Huo Sishen’s Misunderstanding (2)
“Why are you remaining still? Get in already!”
“Oh, okay.”
That’s when Gu Shishi finally climbed into the car using both her hands and feet. After setting down, she sat like a grade school kid – her back straight, stomach tucked in. Her hands placed neatly on top of her thighs.
She looked down and checked herself. She didn’t dirty anything, right?
Then why was the boss kept on staring at her? Did she get something on her with all the people around her earlier?
The boss was a germaphobe; he couldn’t stand any kind of dirtiness.
Gu Shishi looked at herself up and down and even wanted to use a mirror and check to see if there was some crumbs on her face from the desserts that she had earlier.
“Who did you drink with?”
Huo Sishen’s deep and cold voice rang next to her suddenly.
“Oh… do I smell like alcohol?”
Gu Shishi suddenly lowered her head and took a whiff.
Startled, she immediately went to cover up the hem of her dress the next moment.
She had wine spilled on her dress; of course she smelled like wine.
Did the germaphobe boss have the nose of a dog?
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Let me open up the window and air it out a bit?” Gu Shishi apologize right away.
The way she went to cover her dress did not escape Huo Sishen’s eyes.
The obvious scissors’ cut and the lingering smell of wine… all of which made him frown.
“What happened?” He pointed at her dress with his slender fingers.
Gu Shishi rolled down the car window and sat back down docilely.
“Ugh, someone spilled some wine accidentally. I am fine. Oh…”
Half way through saying that, a guilty look crawled onto her.
“I’m sorry. This dress was a gift from you, but I ruined it.”
It cost tens of thousands of dollars!
Having said that, she rubbed the hem of her light yellow dress, her heart aching.
“I can wash it out when we get home. I can mend it up some and will still be able to wear it again.”
She hoped the boss wouldn’t get upset over this and kick her out of the car. She didn’t want that to happen! It was 1.5-hour drive home from where they were!
If she were to walk home from there, her toes would definitely be blistered!
She had on 6-7” heel stilettos for the banquet today.
Gu Shishi shuddered a little and tried as much as she could to curl up into a ball.
She even slowly tried to move as close to the door as possible, trying to stay as far away from the boss as possible.
She could only hope that the wind outside could blow away the smell on her that the boss didn’t like.
“Umm, I… I didn’t do that on purpose. Someone else spilled it on me. I didn’t even drink any….” Gu Shishi grumbled softly.
Looking at how timid she was, Huo Sishen’s black eyes squinted dangerously. He gave her a deep look. The rose color that was on her cheeks earlier were all gone.
As though she had thought about something bad and terrible. She wrapped her arms around herself innocently and curled up next to the car door.
She looked so pitiful. Her first time to a banquet and someone else’s wine just so happened to have spilled on her?
Huo Sishen’s dark eyes deepened again.
For a girl’s first time attending a banquet of that caliber and without the pointers from an elder, no close girlfriends or a date, it was already bad enough.
And then she was bullied?
That was the environment that he had grown up in. He had a pretty good idea how nasty the upper class girls could get.
So she ran out of the banquet because she was bullied? And she was only able to look so scared after she had gotten inside the car?
Huo Sishen’s mouth tightened into a straight line.
“What happened to that courage of yours from earlier?”
The silly woman’s courage of antagonizing Miss Lee was apparently all gone.
He asked, “They mentioned me?”
“Eh?”
