Xia Jin could feel Huo Jueâs gaze landing on her back, and then moving down slowly.
She closed her legs immediately and turned around. Afterward, she half-squatted on the carpet and responded courteously, âI didnât say that. Mr. Huo has always taken care of me. How could I ever complain? I think Mr. Gu must have misunderstood something.â
Huo Jue narrowed his eyes at the woman who was lowered her head in front of him.
At that moment, the translucent shirt on Xia Jinâs body was a sham. The lines of her body could be seen clearly in the hazy fabric. It was half-covered, tinging with a hint of seduction.
She half-squatted on the floor, trying to use the hem of her shirt to cover her bare thighs. However, her smooth and round thighs were still exposed.
Strangely enough, Huo Jue, who had slept with this woman for five years, still had an uncontrollable urge when he saw her.
Xia Jin gritted her teeth and secretly prayed that Huo Jue, who kept bringing her misery, would just leave quickly.
A rustling sound suddenly sounded. Before Xia Jin could react, Huo Jue had already walked up to her.
A familiar hand reached into the half-open collar of her shirt.
Xia Jinâs body trembled as the sensitive spot on her chest was touched by the man.
âThis look of yours is indeed suitable to seduce men.â Huo Jueâs tone grew cold, as he thought about Xia Jin seducing Wang Ran.
Xia Jin leaned back motionlessly and tried to avoid Huo Jueâs hand. âMr. Huo, I am no longer your secretaryâ¦â
âOh, are you going to charge me for touching you now?â Huo Jue mocked.
Xia Jin had long been numb to Huo Jueâs humiliation. She lowered her eyes calmly and said, âMr. Huo must be joking.â
âHmph.â Huo Jueâs brow tinged with a touch of irritation after seeing that his humiliation did not anger Xia Jin, nor did it make her emotions fluctuate. He immediately found it uninteresting. Then, his fingers traced up and brushed past Xia Jinâs slender neck, lifting her delicate chin. âHowâs your new job?â
Xia Jin gritted her teeth.
How was she getting on? How could Huo Jue not know?
She couldnât answer that she was doing too well, or else Huo Jue would definitely be unhappy. So she thought for a moment and replied meekly, âIâve just joined, and I still donât understand many things yet. Although I canât improve my performance, I should get used to the job soon.â
She felt that what she said was not a problem, but Huo Jue did not seem to be satisfied. He laughed sinisterly and said, âOh, so do you need my help?â
Huo Jueâs cold, stern eyes stared at Xia Jin, and she felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.
This manâs pressure was too strong.
âNo need. Youâve already helped me a lot in the past few years, so I wonât trouble you. I can think of a solution myself,â Xia Jin said gently.
Huo Jueâs eyes darkened bit by bit.
The âsolutionâ Xia Jin was talking about was to seduce Wang Ran?
She would rather go to someone like Wang Ran than give in to him?
Huo Jue looked at Xia Jin with a scrutinizing gaze.
This woman wasnât spineless, she was more stubborn than anyone else. Though she might have a backbone, her level of tolerance was high.
After a long silence, Huo Jue released his hand.
Xia Jin heaved a sigh of relief secretly.
However, she still felt a dangerous aura surrounding her. It was the pressure emanating from Huo Jue.
Long after Huo had left, Xia Jin still had not regained her senses. Huo Jueâs aura seemed to still be lingering in the air.
She gritted her teeth and stood up. Afterward, she put on her clothes and left the bar without a moment of hesitation.

Xia Jin did not gain any new clients during the next few days of work, but she had almost finished absorbing knowledge from the sales-related books and crammed a lot of psychological knowledge.
However, no matter how rich her theoretical knowledge was, it was useless. Xia Jin knew that very well.
The end of the month assessment was almost here. There were already quite a few salespeople secretly discussing how Xia Jin probably would not be able to stay on next month.
Everyone looked at her with some schadenfreude and ridicule.
Xia Jin did not mind them, brushing off their mockery.
In the past few days, Wang Ran had been looking for her very frequently. Just on WeChat alone, he had sent her over a hundred messages.
In addition to morning and bedtime greetings, he was also very concerned about her life and work status, seemingly very considerate and gentle.
His words were also interspersed with a few teasing remarks from time to time, such as:
âA woman doesnât have to work so tiring hard. I wonât let the person I like suffer all these hardships.â
âXiao Jin, you have such beautiful legs. Youâll definitely look very sexy in stockings.â
âI feel that our personalities complement each other quite well.â
âLetâs be clear, I kinda have feelings for you.â
â¦
His sweet talk was so greasy that Xia Jin almost felt uncomfortable listening to them.
She did not give Wang Ran a clear response, and only hung him indifferently.
Wang Ran finally could not hold it back any longer. He sent her two large orders that totaled 800 thousand dollars in a row, wanting to take her down with such a fierce attack..
