Chapter 175: That’s right; I have a boyfriend!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, Pei Ge looked at the dark circles under her eyes and had to put on foundation after washing her face. However, even after applying a layer of foundation, the bluish black color under her eyes was still somewhat visible.

Pei Ge’s pair of panda eyes attracted the few secretaries’ attention when she arrived in the CEO Secretariat.

“Your nightlife is pretty eventful, huh,” He Yan sarcastically commented.

Pei Ge replied with a faint smile, “Not really. I just had insomnia.”

Sitting at her workstation, she proceeded to ignore them as she seriously tackled the tasks at hand.

Although she was unable to quickly fall sleep last night due to Ji Ziming, being the insensitive and heartless person that she was, she completely forgot about the whole matter after waking up this morning.

Hence, she did not even react to him arriving at the office. It was as if last night had never happened.

“Good morning, CEO Ji!”

“Morning, CEO Ji!”

She only followed suit with everyone in greeting him, and, while doing so, she did not even look in his direction.

In contrast, his whole attention was solely on her the moment he walked in. When he saw that she did not even spare him a glance, he pursed his lips in displeasure as his eyes darkened.

“Mhm,” he lightly hummed when he passed by her workstation.

His action went unnoticed by her, though, so his face grew darker.

The cold aura around him heightened, causing the rest of the secretaries to shiver in fear.

Only Pei Ge did not react to this as she continued to calmly do her work.

When he finally entered his office, He Yan curiously drifted to Pei Ge’s side.

“You seem awfully close with CEO Ji.” He Yan’s eyes flitted with a scheming look.

Blinking her eyes, Pei Ge shook her head innocently and asked perplexedly, “What do you mean by we seem close?”

“We are all colleagues, so stop pretending. CEO Ji’s treatment of you is clearly different from how he treats us. You two... aren’t in a relationship, are you?” He Yan asked softly while wiggling her eyebrows.

“You are thinking too much. CEO Ji likes me? How is that even possible? Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Pei Ge shook her head with amusement and gave this blunt reply.

He Yan’s suspicion mostly dissipated when she saw that Pei Ge did not seem to be hiding anything, and when she caught sight of the message that that had arrived on Pei Ge’s hand phone, her suspicion totally disappeared.

[I am free tonight. Where do you want to go?]

Pei Ge unlocked her hand phone and read Chen Zhengchu’s text message.

“Hm! Pei Ge, you have a boyfriend?” He Yan exclaimed in surprise when she saw the flirtatious-looking text message.

Her exclamation drew the attention of everyone else in the office.

Pei Ge, who felt slightly irritated with He Yan constantly linking her to Ji Ziming, decisively nodded her head in confirmation to stop her from pestering her again.

“Of course, I have one.”

“Wah! And here I thought you didn’t have one!”

“Yes, yes. I, too, didn’t expect that. I don’t even have a boyfriend, yet you surprisingly have one! Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover!”

The other two secretaries smilingly teased her.

Pei Ge thought that lying to them was the right thing to do, as she almost no longer felt that faint hostility coming from them.

With a smile, she lowered her head to reply to Chen Zhengchu.

[Shall we catch a movie? There is a blockbuster Hollywood movie playing in the cinemas these days. I feel like watching that.]

As soon as she sent out this message, she suddenly regretted doing so. While she liked watching Hollywood movies, Chen Zhengchu did not seem to be the type to like it.

However, her worries were soon proven to be unnecessary.

[Sure. I want to watch that, too. We can have dinner first then catch it at Wan Da.]

Pei Ge’s lips uncontrollably curved up at his reply.

[Alright.]

[See you tonight, then.]

[Yes, see you tonight.]

Just as she replied with a smile on her face, she heard Ji Ziming’s low and dense voice. “Pei Ge, come here.”

He did not use the intercom to summon her. Instead, he called out to her with a sullen face from the opened door of the CEO’s office.

At his angry look, she hurriedly put down her phone and got up from her seat to enter his office.

Immediately after she entered the CEO’s office, the other three secretaries gathered together for a discussion.

“Why do I feel that CEO Ji is treating Pei Ge differently?”

“I, too, feel that the atmosphere between them is a little weird.”

“Hey, what nonsense are you girls talking about? How can Pei Ge, with that kind of looks, appeal to CEO Ji’s taste?! In addition, I clearly saw it just now that she has a boyfriend. Those text messages are quite explicit!”

“Huh? What kind of text message?”

“What kind of text message can it be? It is obviously a text message for a quickie. The boyfriend said he is free tonight and asked her where she wants to go.”

“I really did not expect that. Pei Ge looks so conservative, yet she is actually quite adventurous.”

“He he! That’s why I said that one can’t judge a book by its cover....”

Pei Ge was of course unaware of the hushed conversation happening outside the door, as she was currently facing the sullen-faced Ji Ziming inside the CEO’s office.

“CEO Ji, may I know why you called me here?” she respectfully addressed him. Her face was devoid of the fiery and violent look she had had yesterday.

Seeing such a Pei Ge, Ji Ziming felt an unexplainable rage. He coldly harrumphed and harshly chastised, “Who told you that you can play with your hand phone during office hours?!”

“...” F*ck! The other secretaries play games, retouch their makeup, paint their nails, or gossip all day long and you haven’t scolded them even once, yet I only sent a few text messages today and you’re acting like this?!

Of course, she did not dare say this aloud. Knowing that she was still in the wrong, she lowered her head rather contritely.

“Yes, CEO Ji. There won’t be a repeat of this in the future,” she sincerely promised.

At such a tepid response, he was inexplicably disappointed and paused for a long while.

He really could not understand. She was not like this yesterday. Before today, she was... alive and active to the point that he even dreamed of her.

Wait! I dreamed of her? What did I dream about her?
