The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 41

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, Olive’s 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.

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...”
