Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

Looking out the window she leaned her head against it and watched the passing scenery. The car was silent after the her comment but it was a comfortable silence. Half the day had gone from when she first visited the office to when she was heading home. There was a dark overcast as the night slowly crept in reminding her how late it was. It sort of surprised her how quickly time had passed when she spent it with him. Though whatever time she had spent with him regardless of duration was never simple. Just counting on one finger she could list 3-4 incidents where they were caught up in drama.

'How many of them were women too????' 

She rolled her eyes as the various annoying faces floated through her mind. One was blondie and then there were three secretaries and for the cherry on top is his best friend pranking them. Granted Zhuang Wei wasn't a woman but was part of their drama too. 'I wonder if his life is like this everyday?' Just the idea of having to fend of women everyday drained her, she had always kept a low key profile because she hated the attention. From the beginning she had kept her background hidden but the few that did find out always treated her different. It disgusted her how quick people would change their attitude to kiss up to people of power. 

Which is why when she came to this city she made sure to stay hidden and had done well with it for the first couple of months. She had been slowly moving around and making her way towards this city before she settled in properly two months ago. These past two months her days were very quiet and peaceful as she set her roots here. It was not within her expectation that a normal walk in the alley would lead to meeting Xi Long. All she sensed was a man walking up behind her and thought it was one of the stragglers from the crew he fought a second prior. She immediately gave a round house kick and was surprised when her ankle was caught in someone's hand. Out of all the people she could have met, she met with one of the most influential in this province - not that she knew it at the time. He definitely gave off the aura of an important man but also not someone you'd see walking in an alleyway by the harbour. 

'I really should've kicked his a.s.s then.....' She didn't regret meeting him but in hindsight, that was the best opportunity to fight him. For all the drama and cheesy lines he put her through, at least a punch should've landed. It wasn't too late still, she may trust him a little bit but not enough to believe he'll never screw up. 

Turning to look at him she watched him drive with her eyes half open. He was facing forward and calmly driving through traffic. Each action of his was burning into her mind, she had no clue what she was looking for but kept her eyes on him. 

"Switching the view huh?" His low voice broke her concentration as his words processed in her mind. 

"View?" Her eyebrows scrunched in confusion. 

"Its okay Kitten you're my favourite view too." 

Finally understanding the joke she gave him deadpan look. "Have you been to the doctor recently?"

His eyebrow raised in response as he gave a quick glance at her before he looked back at the road. "Mhmm for what?"  

"For you sugar levels, I think its starting to affect your brain."

With that he burst out laughing with his rich voice surrounding her. His lips were upturned in a smile while his eyes held an amused glint. "You never fail to surprise me with these lines."

"Like you're any better..." This man had no shame when dropping cheesy lines like that to the point that she could feel her getting diabetes just from hearing it. She had to give him props for saying them so confidently despite how cringe they were. There was a tiny part of her that secretly enjoyed the lines but her favourite part was their banter. Her way of communicating was definitely in the aggressive teasing department. 

"I'm not, look how similar we are Kitten..." 

"....do you ever stop flirting?" 

"Not with you." Throwing a wink her way he let out a small chuckle as he saw her pouting. She was wearing a mask but he could tell by the way her cheeks were raised and her arms was crossed against her. These small actions of hers made him want to kiss her because of how cute it was. Kicking that thought out of his mind he tried to focus on the road without thinking of her like that. Ever since he had first tasted her bittersweet lips he had became a deranged man. His usual control was slipping as he grew addicted to her and the way she felt in his arms. He wasn't sure if she felt the same but he took pride in the fact that she responded to his kisses now. Slowly but surely he was getting close to her despite how fast it was going.

As the familar street appeared he knew that their car ride was coming to an end. He didn't want to let go of her so soon, this car ride was the most uninterrupted time they had together but he had to go. 

Pulling up into her parking lot he parked the car and turned to her. Leaning forward he pulled her into his arms and gave a short hug. Leaving a kiss on the top of her head he whispered a soft "good night" next to her ear. She looked at him for a couple seconds before slipping off her mask from one ear. He didn't sense anything odd before he felt a sudden pressure on his cheek and a quick whisper saying "good night." Shock filled him as he realized that she had given him a kiss back and leaned back into his seat as he watched her escape him. As soon as she kissed him she had taken her stuff and ran out the car back to her room. The sight of her small body scurring away in embarassment filled him with joy. 

'Always with the surprises Kitten.'
