His scalding hot fingertips brushed against my cheeks, he was staring at me, waiting for an answer. Just a slight touch and his electrifying gaze was already too much for me. My legs have almost gone jelly, he used his other hand to slowly grab me by the waist, my whole body was pressed against him.
I could feel his hot breath against my skin. He was just too sexy, it should be forbidden to be like this!
In reality, this man has everything that is needed for me to say Yes to his proposal. He was the perfect husband material, and surely, we could cultivate our love after the wedding but I didn't want to say Yes, even though he is the perfect husband material, even though my whole body was already at his mercy.
I am thinking of myself as a realistic woman but I have yet to date anyone, I could have started a relationship, tried out new things but I didn't want to. Until now I was lying to myself saying that I was too busy to have a boyfriend but I know clearly that the only reason that kept me away from men is my blind faith that one day I would find my soulmate, I am searching for that spark that moment where I don't care about anyone and just focus myself on one man and that man would focus himself only on me.
I don't believe in love but I know that my heart wants love. From a young age, I didn't believe in love since my own mother was only one of the 5 wives my father had, he didn't love her but my mother? She was madly in love until now she always waits for him, she always sends him something but it's been so long that my father forgot her.
Why do I want to love? Why? wouldn't it be better if I got this man in front of me? I have been at his side for 5 years and I know more than anyone that he didn't have anyone else. After all, I am the Head secretary of this man.
'Mei Ling wake up, this is real life! Love doesn't exist, let's be realistic! This man surely doesn't love you, he must have reason to ask you to marry him'

He waited quietly while having the hot body of his Head secretary pressed against him, he knew that moment earlier when she lost her composure was only temporary, it surely was because she was too shocked, after all, he knew her. She accompanied him for a total of 5 years, 5 years already she already came to face to face with the biggest sharks of the business world, she wouldn't lose her composure easily, and even if she lost it she will regain it quickly.
She was a person, he could trust, he was still too young, he is still cultivating good seed but the woman pressed against him was one of his biggest weapons.
At least one-fifth of his current achievement was only because she was here by his side, she was a powerful woman having her own thought.
Maybe if he had met her 10 years later she would have been one of the small shark in this sea, but since he recruited her she became the most powerful attendant of one of the biggest shark in this sea. Her business instinct was simply terrifying.
Her talent bloomed beautifully under his care, that bloom would have happened sooner or later without his care. But he was proud that she bloomed under his care, he never showed it, he never showed his emotion to anyone because that would only weaken him.
But if it's her he didn't mind showing his emotion.
She represented him in the business world so she knows how to use her cards with the best use. He waited silently, he knew that she was as realistic as he was so:
------
"Why?" with soft voice Mei Ling asked back Jack
"I need an heir, I have two years to have an heir" Jack was honest, he knew that as soon as his grandfather's condition was exposed she would know
"What benefits do I have in this?" she asked back once again, all the previous emotion who were present were erased, Jack could only see calmness.
"What do you want?" The voice of Jack didn't change, it was as indifferent as before.
She was shocked, she knew that the man holding her never said "What do you want" to anyone he would never let his opponent choose the beginning. He always said that it would be a disadvantage.
This question once again silenced both of them, Mei Ling slowly fell once again in contemplation but after thinking a bit for the benefits of marrying him she felt that two fifth of his current share wasn't a bad idea, she could negotiate it to one fifth at least so she directly started talking when she could she saw his eyes. His eyes were a profound abyss she couldn't stop staring.
And impetuous thoughts suddenly appeared in mind 'What if I asked Love?'
And because her thought got mixed at the last moment she blurted out: "Love"
"I accept" Jack's eyes were wide open, his usual indifferent expression wasn't here anymore, he expected her to ask material possession so he directly agreed to what she said without hearing anything she wanted but she said, Love. What the f*ck is Love?
