Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

Xi Long stared at the screen as he watched his men in action and waited for their confirmation that the mission has been successfully completed. Tapping his fingers on the table, his eyebrows furrowed as he his seemed to catch something on the screen. Pursing his lips, he kept his eyes on the monitor and spoke to Shufen. "...redirect them to the east prison, make sure no one is following."

Shufen heard his orders and immediately sent out a message to the captains of both teams alerting them of the change of plans. It was weird that his Boss was to change their plans randomly, maybe he saw something...? Focusing on the live footage he tried to pinpoint what had made his Boss uneasy but couldn't figure out what it was exactly. Just as he was about to ask his Boss reached forward and tapped the screen before them.

"Investigate him."

With that, Xi Long alighted from the chair and walked towards the stairs. He had already checked everything he needed to and now was only curious about the man he noticed in the corner. In the beginning it had seemed that the abduction was done smoothly, however, there was a man who sat calmly near the bar that bothered him. There had been so much noise and violence that any sane individual would have either left or hid from the group. This man leaned into the bar and continued drinking without moving from his seat. The calm demeanour as if he was completely detached from the situation was not one that belonged to a common civilian. His senses were rarely ever wrong therefore this man was definitely connected. Now he just needed to know who. His eyes constricted at the possibility of having more hidden enemies involved in the spider web. If this man was connected he would need to know how and why.

Without waiting for Shufen he walked up the stairs quickly to exit the house. By the time Shufen had noted the man down and sent out orders to their intelligence team his Boss had long left the room. Shutting everything down he quickly turned and ran up the stairs. A bead of sweat formed on his forehead as he patted his c.h.e.s.t to calm his breathing. He quickly walked outside the house and saw his boss standing silently in front of the door hidden behind the pillar. His eyes were filled with greivance as he looked at his boss.

"Huhu Boss you know that I find that building creepy, how could you leave me there alone."

In front of others he maintained a cool and stern version of a capable secretary but he could not do the same in front of his Boss. What was worse was that he knew how he felt about the building and left him to die alone!!!

The abandoned cottage like building was small and is initially nothing to worry about. However, this part of the forest was famous for suicides and this house was found by his boss one day and modified to suit his needs. So they did not know if anything had happened in the house!! The rumors of what occured in these forests was always casually spoken about, through their efforts, the rumors became for vicious and rampant to keep people away. Though this did nothing to distill the fear in his heart, the one thing he could not handle was a vengeful ghost who died unsatisfied! Especially with the bas.e.m.e.nt and how cold and sterile it was. The aura paired with the slight creaks that sounded similar to someone walking stressed him out. He was always quick to leave the house and never stay longer than he had too. Yet today, his boss had left him alone!!! He had been focused on delegating tasks that he had noticed him leave and left up to his own devices. What if a ghost had gotten? What if he was forced to marry a ghost??? What if they were headless??? Just the mere thought of it made a chill run through his spine.

Xi Long turned to look at Shufen who looked as if he was an abandoned puppy. A short smile crept on his face as he could imagine the thoughts running through this head. It was hilarious to him that his secretary who usually maintained a strong front was so easily scared by the paranormal. Shufen was his loyal secretary and was someone he practically considered a friend so he enjoyed teasing him from time to time. Yes, he knew that he was scared and still left the house. Why? Well, why not?

"Haha I'll let you have the 1873 rosé for your grievances, now lets go."

Shufen's eyes lit up at the mention of the wine he was been coveting. His boss had had this wine for a while and he had subtly mentioned it in passing but to think his boss would know he wanted it! Warmth filled his insides as he was excited to finally taste the drink completely forgetting that a second ago he was left in the haunted house. 'The boss is so nice to me ah.' If he had realized that Xi Long had purposely teased him and then redirected his emotions just by giving wine he would practically vomit blood at the realization. Blissfully unaware of what happened he entered the car and waited for his Boss to enter before speeding away to the office.
