Chapter 28
Ji Ziming coldly stared at the only lit place within the darkness, his chest filled with unexplainable rage.
He had accidentally slammed his knee into something just now. The throbbing pain from his knee fueled the rage in his heart further.
Seeing that that person had not appeared, with his rage fueled, he coldly ordered, “Come out.”
“Re – report, CEO! I will come out now!” A bright and rough voice replied to him with a volume so loud it echoed within the office.
Listening to this voice, Ji Ziming thought that it sounded familiar.
He raised his eyebrows. Perhaps it was because this voice was special, but he actually remembered the owner of it.
Ji Ziming tugged at his lips as he thought of that unkempt woman who looked more like a man.
When Ji Ziming did not reply, Pei Ge pouted in the darkness as she tried to coax patiently, “CEO, the power stoppage here is planned. If you want to wait for the lights to come on again, you probably have to wait for another hour or so.”
Pei Ge rolled her eyes when she did not hear any response again. She resolutely decided to not ask him anymore and immediately pulled him by the wrist toward the exit.
As the weather was really hot today and it was after the office hours, Ji Ziming left his suit jacket in the car. Currently, he was only wearing a shirt, and the cufflinks of it were casually undone.
Hence, when Pei Ge’s warm hand held on to his wrist, he immediately felt it.
When the woman’s hand touched his, he subconsciously thought of the pair of white, slender palms from that day he saw her hide beneath her office desk.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt that this touch was a little familiar….
Sensing that the man behind was obediently following her, Pei Ge started deriding Ji Ziming mentally again, Hmph! Didn’t he just say that he minds it and doesn’t need my help? Although he said he is unwilling, his body is still very honest! Hmph, hmph, hmph!
The mood between the two people, who were in their own world, although silent, seemed to be harmonious for some weird reason.
Before long, the two of them reached a brightly lit walkway.
“Alright. CEO, you can leave by yourself. I need to return to the office to take something.” After leaving the director’s office, Pei Ge quickly released Ji Ziming’s wrist, lowered her head, and said this in a rough voice.
Ji Ziming felt inexplicably unhappy when the other party had let go of his wrist as though she were throwing away some rubbish. His heart flitted with a sense of disappointment that he himself did not realize.
“It’s too dark.” Ji Ziming reasoned as he eyed the office bathed in darkness.
Although Ji Ziming’s words were curt, Pei Ge still got what he meant.
“It’s fine. I’m not scared of the dark like you are.” Perhaps, it was because she was too relaxed, but Pei Ge said what was on her mind unrestrainedly.
“…” Ji Ziming’s originally composed face instantly froze and he gave off an icy aura that could even freeze hell.
“Er…” Pei Ge finally realized that she had said something thoughtless. Coughing, just as she was about to explain herself, she heard Ji Ziming leave in large strides with a harrumph.
Tsk! You are obviously scared of the dark! As she watched Ji Ziming’s disappearing back view, Pei Ge muttered this internally. Once she got back to the office, she packed her things and left to go home.
On her way home, Pei Ge had the strong urge to laugh every time she thought of that scene in the office just then and, without noticing it, her lips stretched into a sincere smile.
To think that that tall and proud-looking man is actually afraid of the dark. Ha ha! It’s is so hilarious!
