Chapter 6
“Wow, you’re so sexy!” Cherry said to Susanna’s ear at a quite close distance.
The pub was so noisy that they had to almost shout at each other to smoothen the conversation.
“You’re not bad, too.” Susanna smiled back and patted on her shoulder, Cherry had a body-shape that no man could run away from her charm.
“I don’t know how to describe, you’re deadly attractive with such an innocent face.” Cherry winked to Susanna before she began to look over the crowd of men and girls.
“Have you gotten any targets?” Cherry took a sip of mescal and asked, without taking any glances at Susanna.
Susanna picked up the cup of wine on the table and began to enjoy the strong sense of alcohol.
“Not yet. If you do, just go ahead.”
Cherry turned back to her and smiled pleasantly. “I’ll if I get one.”
After a long whole week of dealing with the fussy boss, all of them urged to find a moment free from worries or troubles.
“Do you think our lion of anger is a monster?” Cherry said it but continue to look at the dancing guys in the middle of the pub.
“Lion of anger?” Susanna was a little bit dumbfounded, so she just repeated what Cherry had said.
“Mr. Lim.” Cherry immediately looked back with widely-opened eyes.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know we all call him as lion of anger behind his back!” Cherry couldn’t help rolling her eyes again. It’s quite obvious that Cherry was not a fan of Stephan Lim.
“Do you think he is a handsome man? Recently I saw his fiancée for quite a few times, but I couldn’t imagine how would he act like in front of his lover.” Cherry leaned back to Susanna and made the statement in an intentionally-lowered voice.
“If you think like this, just say it out, why lower your voice?” Susanna simmered with laughter. Indeed Stephan was a little bit too of poker face in front of others.
“I don’t dare to!” Cherry claimed with a sour face. “I suffer from his capricious moods, but he is my boss! Even though I’m backbiting, I couldn’t do it too outstandingly.”
As if trying to calm down her fear, Cherry picked up the cup of mescal and drank that up.
“In fact, he is quite gentle when he was in a good mood……” though he was quite mean when he was in that poker face.
“Gentle? Are we describing the same man?” Cherry was shocked by the term that Susanna had chosen to use.
“He is the monster without hesitation to criticize you at any time for your mistakes and faults!” Cherry rolled her eyes and couldn’t stand what Susanna had said.
Susanna smiled. Obviously even the people around him wouldn’t believe he was ever tender. However, in the present situation, Susanna had no mood or standing points to correct his image in the outside world. Afterall, the present him was not that kind anymore.
“However, I do believe what I have seen. He has never refused what his fiancée has said or asked. I have never seen he says no.” Cherry continued the twittering.
Hearing this, Susanna couldn’t continue the smile, this was not what she desired to hear or know.
“Enough, are you not tired of being by his side in the working hours and now still want to bring him with your life?” Susanna said with a face close to Cherry.
Because of the dark lights, Cherry didn’t see clearly the expressions on Susanna’s face. However, Cherry finally realized the happy hours shouldn’t be ruined by such a monster in business time. “Hell no, of course not! Such a poker face, who gets it, who deserves a miserable life!”
“Oh yes, you did say it right.” Susanna couldn’t agree at it more.
“What? What are you murmuring about?” The chaos in the pub stopped Cherry’s curiosity, Cherry looked back to the dancing pool with the empty cup.
“Tonight limited targets for us to share.” Cherry made a sigh and turned back to Susanna with a disappointed face.
Susanna laughed and fill their cups with the limited mescal.
“You’re so good at drinking!” Cherry started to pour her attention to Susanna.
Susanna felt a little bit embarrassed, for she could just say she was trained by someone and got used to these liquids.
“Ah-huh, you’re a girl with secrets.” Seeing Susanna’s silence, Cherry winked her eye. However, she chose to not stick to this question and let go of it.
“Hey, look at that man in the corner of that direction.” Cherry pointed at the western part of the part.
Chasing along her finger’s direction, Susanna caught a man with curly hair, full of artistic charm.
“Wow, it turns out that you’re fond of this kind.” Susanna understood finally. No wonder Cherry would hate the poker face so much, this man was attractive with his charming smile.
“So, you had a stomachache and come to such a place to enjoy views of men?” A mean and cold voice broke the amazing moment caused by the scene.
Susanna was shocked by the man right standing in front of her with a cold and mean face. She knew he was at the edge of temper losing.
The tightly-held fists were the most obvious sign of his anger.
“Mr. Lim, how come you......” at the aspect of reaction, Cherry obviously was quicker than Susanna. Standing up straight, Cherry seemed to have her breath cut off, too.
With a strange smile hidden in the corner of his mouth, Stephan stared at Susanna in silence but with an overwhelming vigour.
