Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Me: Was...ho mocking my daydreaming? Gary’s smile widened.

After breakfast, Gary drove us to the airport. Our destination was Yancheng. Evan and I took a flight to Yancheng then a car to the resort. Nestled in the mountains, it was a luxurious oasis in a remote, mysterious setting. The tota investment exceeded 23 billion; Jones Group held 60%, and Yuan’s company held 40%, I hadn’t been to Yancheng much; my impression was of beautiful scenery and clean air.

As we drove from the city, the sky opened up. I watched the fluffy clouds, relaxed, my eyelids heavy... My body slumped towards the window. A large hand gently guided my head, repositioning it. The driver’s eyes nearly popped out.

After an unknown amount of time, we entered the mountains. I woke up to the sight of lush forests and distant, mist–shrouded mountains. It felt surreal and beautiful, I adjusted my posture, finding a more comfortable position Suddenly, I realized I was leaning against something... unusual. What high–quality chairback would be this warm and fragrant, with this perfect firmness and elasticity? I slowly turned my head, seeing a white shirt, then a long neck and a strong Adam’s apple... My heart sank.“Awake?” Warm breath brushed my cheek, *...Mm.” I mumbled, feigning composure, sitting up and adjusting my hair.“Oh, I must have fallen asleep. Xiazia made me watch a horror movie last night; I didn’t sleep well.” I tried to downplay the shocking fact that I’d been asleep in my boss’s arms.

Evan looked understanding.“Ah, that explains why you insisted on cuddling me. Post–horror movie effects.” My eyes widened....The driver was also shocked... My mind replayed the phrase, “insisted on cuddling me,” in bold, capital letters! I!

Insisted! On! Cuddling! Him! I didn’t believe it!!

I looked at the driver, who was peeking in the rearview mirror. He nervously nodded.

I froze. After a moment, I turned back to Evan. My voice was heavy.“CEO, next time, you should push me away, shake me awake, or... slap me awake!” I had been wrong, but he wasn’t blameless! He could have done something! Why did he let me sleep in his arms?

Evan looked compassionate.“I don’t have a fetish for abusing my subordinates.”

The driver: Oh my god! I can’t watch or listen to this anymore! CEO, do you remember how you pulled me into your arms?!

I said nothing. I couldn’t say: CEO, please abuse me; I like it... that sounded kinky. I turned away.
