Chapter 3 She Is Not Even His Fiancée
- As Huo Chen admired her stiffened posture halfheartedly, he released her slender wrist, took out his white handkerchief, and wiped his hands like she was something that disgusted him.
- Then, the man tossed the handkerchief at his assistant, Qiao Mu.
- “I'll see you at the office, my dear Secretary,” Huo Chen said with contempt as he strode past Bai Yunjin, heading for the door. Only then did she realize that he was leaving.
- With his hands in the pockets of his pencil-straight trousers, he moved gracefully while his contemptuous laughter reverberated around the room.
- “Oh, it's almost time to go to work. You'll be punished if you're late!”
- A stunned Qiao Mu stared at her, about to say something. Nevertheless, he turned around and ran to catch up with his boss.
- The many servants exchanged looks with each other in the huge villa.
- Bai Yunjin was all alone as she replayed the man's words in her head.
- Do you know why I didn't raise any objections to my grandmother's arrangement to let you stay here? No man would say no to sex with no strings attached.
- It finally dawned on her. He was merely using her for his own sexual gratification.
- I'm his whore! The shock rendered her weak in the knees. She staggered and leaned against the handrail.
- Oh god. He never had the intention of marrying me at all!
- “Madam, are you all right?” A young maid came forward and supported her.
- The latter wished she could shake her head or say something, but the words were caught in her throat. The whisperings among the servants reached her ears. “Madam? Old Madam Huo's tacit approval is nothing without Mr. Huo's acknowledgement! She is not even a fiancée to him as long as he doesn't agree to marry her!”
- It was a whisper. However, it sounded like a bomb exploding in everyone's ears in the enormous living room.
- “Isn't that right? She's just one of those women after all.”
- “Perhaps, she's the one he despised the most.”
- Becoming bolder after witnessing the crude treatment from their boss to the woman, the servants chimed in one after another.
- The whispered mockery among the upset Bai Yunjin more and more. She forced a smile and tried to suppress the grievance welling inside her.
- Is this his way of seeking revenge?
- His hatred for her would last a lifetime.
- ...
- Initially, Bai Yunjin wasn't an employee at Entertainment Film Corporation. However, she couldn't object to Old Madam Huo who had insisted for the former to work closely by Huo Chen's side as his personal secretary.
- The man wasn't wrong when he addressed her by her official designation.
- The Huo family started Entertainment Film Corporation two generations ago. As their heir, Huo Chen took over the company.
- He spent seven years developing it into an awe-inspiring entertainment empire within the industry that helped countless starlets shot to fame.
- Mai Jiaren, the artist who recently had a scandal with an award-winning actor, together with the anchor from TR live streaming platform, Yin Guoguo, were some artists under the company's management.
- “Ms. Bai, please ensure each department receives a copy of this document. Also, I need you to send this report to the CEO. It has been reviewed, and it needs his signature for approval. Don't lose this. It's very important.”
- The long-legged Mia left a stack of blue folders and left.
- Bai Yunjin moved her hand away from the mouse and looked through the folders. Her head throbbed when she called that she had to go to the CEO's office.
- None of the company's employees knew about the relationship between her and Huo Chen or their affair. The thought of seeing him as though nothing had happened, caused her to feel extremely guilty.
