Lu Zhaoyang could feel the rage in his tone.

Was he mad?

For pete’s sake, I was thanking you and you got mad? Why? How? Do you like to get scolded by people so much?

She snorted, and then went to sleep.

Inside the man’s embrace, she could not help but curl upon him as her consciousness slowly ebbed away, unaware of that smile the man pulled silently.

——

Eventually, the second morning, President Huo still went for the business meeting with Secretary Lu. Well, she had to be there for she was the sole subordinate handling the entire case before, no one could follow at that moment to replace her.

So they got to the fancy-looking golf course, with her following President Huo from one hole to another, looking like an obedient golf boy despite her office wear.

After about two hours, the two successful businessmen had finished discussing their upcoming project.

Lu was quiet the whole time, as the tip of her tongue was aching, the sun was appearing to be too much for her eyes, her head was loading a dizzy spell.

Huo in his sungla.s.ses was looking like the protagonist of the Crazy Rich Asian, especially with that glance at his hot secretary upon a hole-in-one. His secretary was hot, sweating hot, as he made a skip and headed off in her direction.

His business partner, President Du tailed after.

“I heard Mr. Huo has 12 secretaries at the office, though you seem to have brought a rather quiet one today. Does she have a speech defect?” Teased President Du as he scanned Lu with a famished smile.

“Oh wow, if being quiet means a speech defect, then does that mean President Du has a fertility defect because you have no children?” Joked Huo with his signature smile.

“Heh, President Huo the debater, don’t get so worked up. I was just kidding, I do not intend to insult that pretty secretary of yours.”

President Du certainly did not see that comeback coming. He never imagined President Huo being so protective of his staff that he would roast him back.

“I see. I almost thought you have a birth defect or something,” replied Huo pursing his lips as he threw his club to the real golf boy, and applauded, “People only speak words appropriate to their ident.i.ty. Clearly President Du is rather unaware of his ident.i.ty. Regarding that business, I still need to reconsider.”

“…”

Based on Lu’s experience with Huo, this President Du was already a goner.

Although she was pretty peculiar of Huo’s comeback, the project was obviously a major help to Thunderbolt Corp., there was no reason for the president to turn down the offer by any ridiculous means like this.

What does he want again?

“Fair enough. Whatever the young master says. Please do consider the offer! It’s almost time for lunch, see you at the hotel, I have booked the best cabin of the restaurant,” with a directing palm, President Du invited.

“It’s okay, keep your friendly gesture. I still want a club of children for my upcoming years,” said President Huo as he beamed at Lu who was looking at the ground.

A “club” of children?

That many?

Both President Du and Lu twitched.

Lu had a brief eyeroll.

Let whoever wants to be that gilt to do the ch.o.r.e for him.

As long as I’m not the one on the bed.

President Du was feeling remorseful of his silly joke, the comeback caught him off guard. He could not believe a simple phrase could trigger Huo.

“President Huo, also about your pretty secretary, I was not watching my word just now, please do not mind! My lady, would you please forgive me?”

Lu the secretary was his only hope to save his face, women had soft spots for pleading men after all.

Lu held her steps, Huo jerked his movement too. His eyes squinted, antic.i.p.ating the drama to happen.

Well…Huo did a comeback for me, if I forgive you this easily, it would be a wasted effort and…he definitely would be salty at this…
