Chapter 41: Shaking Hands to Show Affection

And she, as the accompanying translator, watched him lead his team

over the next few days, beating his opponents on the negotiating table

like a king. His confidence made her initial nervousness disappear. The

language that she hasn't spoke for many years, she could speak it

fluently without tripping over her tongue anymore.

He didn't say too much, and he sat there as stable as Mount Taishan for

a lot of time. He listened that his subordinates negotiated with his

opponents. He got a few sentences in occasionally in a critical moment

and what he said hit the nail on the head. His words made his

opponents be at a loss what to do. Therefore, all of a sudden, she

looked at his handsome face with admiration.

Five years ago, she thought he was just like a big boy. He was always

emotional and impulsive. Eventually, time changed him into a mature

man with careful thinking, incisive insight that seemed to be able to see

through people's hearts, decisive strategy, unfathomable mind, and

incredible patience just as cat caught mouse.

Olive felt herself like the mouse, hiding in a dark corner without

sunlight. All her feelings for him could only hide by digging a deep hole

in the ground. She buried and tasted them alone.

The contract was finally signed, and the two sides shook hands to show

affection.

After the celebration party, Alan gave his employees three days off as

promised with free action and expense reimbursement.

Olive wanted to go back to Luo city in advance. However, Olives father

said on the phone, “you have been working hard in recent years. It is

rare for you to have an opportunity to travel on public expense.

You should relax yourself a few days and then come back. Since your

mother and I both stay at home, Ann is very obedient, and Chloe also

helps us every day, you don't have to worry about us. Just relax

yourself.”

She also hoped to relax herself, but with Alan, there was no less

nervousness, only more pressure for her.

When she just put down her mobile phone to pack up, he called her,

“come down, I will wait for you at the hotel gate.”

He hanged up with such words.

This man, when did he get into this habit? It seemed that when he gave

an order, others had to obey him.

Olive refused to let him have his way. She called back angrily, “what

else can I do for you?”

“I will take you to see the coral at the bottom of the sea.” His voice

sounded clear and soft.

Olive froze for a while, “sorry, I'm not interested. I've booked my airline

ticket to come back to Luo city in two hours."

“Who said you can leave?” He voice sounded unhappy.

"You gave three days off with free action, Alan.” Olive warned.

"Yes, I gave them three days off, but not including you. Olive, I

remember giving you a week of paid leave the other day. If every

employee doesn't work every day and receives the same salary,

wouldn't I be broke as the boss?”

Alan was in the car, his elbows rested casually on the window, he raised

the corners of his mouth slightly, and his cold face seemed to glow with

a soft sheen of gold.

Olive, despite all the silent judgments she has in her mind, as long as

she was his employee, she had to work for him. She gnashed, “if I can't

have my day off, I will refund my plane ticket. But Alan, if you is asking

someone to accompany you to play, I refuse. I want to rest now.”

God knew what he was thinking. He wanted to take her to see coral

without any reason.

Alan, however, was not angry, “you have five minutes. I want to see

you.”

Olive hated being threatened in particular. She snorted when she

looked at the phone that he hung up, “just keep waiting as you like.”

Why did she have to listen to him every time? He was so bossy, and she

hated him

But Alan couldn't give up so easily. If she didn't willing to go down, he

would invite her himself. It was a piece of cake to open her door.

She was just changing her clothes when he came into her room by

taking the room card from the hotel reception. He seemed to hear his

blood boiling inside when he saw her naked body.

He felt himself restless just by one glance.

Olive looked back suddenly, shrieked, pulled on her clothes hastily

before she had time to put them on, and her face flushed like a

steamed shrimp, “how did you get in here? Get out of here, rascal.”

Alan's eyes was deep, he raised the room card and moved closer to her,

“since I've been called a rascal, I should do what a rascal do, right?”

"And what do you want to do?”

If she drew back any further, she would back into the corner.

His eyes seemed to glisten with the light of the wolf.

“What do you think?” Alan bent to lift her chin and looked at her with a

half-smile. He suddenly realized that it was quite amusing to tease her.

At least, he found that her panicking made his heart palpitate with

excitement. No woman had ever made him have a deep yearning for

five years.

“I... I will accompany you to play?” Olive was so anxious that she almost

began to cry. All her composure collapsed at this point.

“Are you sure?” His voice sounded hoarse.

Olive nodded vigorously. It's no good trying to be brave when you

should be weak.

“That's more like it.” Alan stopped smiling and released her with

satisfaction. He was afraid that he would lose control if he continued

not to release her. It's a kind of strange feeling. It was just like that his

body found its soul suddenly, and all his self-control was about to

collapse

“You get out of here.” Olive crouched stiffly, trying to make him leave,

but she was afraid to get up.

“Five more minutes, will that be enough for you?”

She dared not to say that there was not enough time. She wanted him

to leave quickly, “it is enough...”
