Although it was freezing outside, the room inside was as warm as spring.
Xia Jin's biological clock caused her to wake up at exactly seven o'clock. She dispelled any remaining sleepiness in her and got up from bed quickly.
However, she moved carefully and barely made a sound, for there was a naked man lying next to her.
The sunlight shone across the gaps of the curtains and fell on the man. He looked somewhat sexy and seductive with his well-defined pectoral muscles and smoothly defined eight-pack abs.
Xia Jin had seen this man's body for five years. At first, she would be flushed at the sight of his body, but now, she was almost numb.
Her body was sore after a crazy night. However, this kind of pain had long been a common occurrence for her. She reached out to take her nightgown and draped it over her body.
Then, Xia Jin turned and touched the man's back. She said in a mechanical tone, "President Huo, there's a meeting at 8 a.m. It's already 7:05 a.m."
The man's hair was a little ruffled. He pushed her hand away and uttered impatiently, "Get lost!"
Xia Jin withdrew her hand expressionlessly. She did not continue to urge him.
Ever since she was pulled by Huo Jue into the office's break room five years ago, he was her boss during the day, and at night, he was also her boss.
Not only did Xia Jin have to work earnestly for him during the day, but she also had to serve him diligently in bed at night.
Every morning, Xia Jin, who had been tortured by Huo Jue all night, had to get up early to wake him up.
She got up and opened her make-up bag. After she applied her make-up quickly, she headed downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Xia Jin walked out of Huo Jue's house.
There were five luxury cars parked at the garage on the left of Huo Jue's villa.
However, Xia Jin turned right with an expressionless face. She walked to the intersection to take a taxi to the company.
Xia Jin had never been in Huo Jue's car for the past five years. In addition, she had never eaten breakfast with him before.
Perhaps Xia Jin once imagined that she could become Mrs. Huo one day, but she had already woken up from this dream after five years passed.
When she arrived at the company, Xia Jin put on a cold and professional look. She walked into the conference room to prepare the documents needed for the meeting in advance. Then, she set up the computer equipment and stood by the door to wait.
The employees entering the company greeted her politely when they saw her, and Xia Jin nodded back in response.
After standing for seven or eight minutes, her waist which was severely ravaged by Huo Jue the night before began to ache.
Xia Jin took a deep breath and tried her best to endure the pain.
At around 7:40 p.m. the CEO's private elevator, which was at the corner of the stairs opened, and Huo Jue stepped out expressionlessly.
He was very tall, and he had a very oppressive aura surrounding him. Xia Jin had to urge to take a step back subconsciously when he came near her.
Huo Jue walked past Xia Jin without even looking at her. It was as if the scene of the two of them entangled in bed last night was just a wet dream for Xia Jin.
He entered the conference room for his morning meeting. Xia Jin ordered breakfast for Huo Jue using her phone.
When the food was delivered, Xia Jin ran into Huo Jue's assistant, Gao Lan, when she went downstairs to pick the food up.
Gao Lan was a graduate of an Ivy League University. She quickly became Huo Jue's right-hand man after entering the Huo Corporation. She was usually in charge of the company's administrative affairs.
Gao Lan nodded at Xia Jin. However, she seemed to have thought of something. She walked to Xia Jin and touched her arm. "Xiao Jin, do you know about President Huo's arrangements for this afternoon?"
Xia Jin recalled his schedule for the day and nodded. "Yes, he's meeting Sevene Vice President of the Asia Pacific branch for dinner this afternoon."
A rare trace of panic and uneasiness appeared on Gao Lan's face after she heard her words. "That man just came back from abroad a year ago. He caused a lot of trouble as soon as he returned. A few months ago, he even… did something to the secretary of a CEO he had a partnership with."
Then, Gao Lan looked around nervously. After seeing that no one was paying attention to their conversation, she leaned closer to Xia Jin and muttered, "He sexually assaulted her!"
Xia Jin frowned. She understood why Gao Lan asked her about it.
Sevne Vice President was named Zhou Qi. He was an overseas returnee. It was said that his business tactics were extremely ruthless, and he was quite a womanizer. Not only did he like hanging around bars, but he also harassed the female employees from time to time. Although this matter was exposed on the internet before, Zhou Qi was still safe and sound. However, it was said that the women who were harassed in the workplace disappeared one by one.
A few months ago, Zhou Qi secretly drugged the secretary of a partner company he worked with. He dragged her to a hotel and sexually assaulted her.
Moreover, he had been coveting Huo Jue's cousin. It could be said that he was extraordinarily bold.
If Huo Jue was going to have a meeting with Zhou Qi, he would definitely bring his secretary with him, and Gao Lan was wary of this.
Xia Jin lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she raised her head and smiled. "Miss Lan, don't worry! President Huo definitely knows what to do. Isn't it insulting for him to just let that man touch his people in front of him? Maybe we wouldn't even need to go over."
Huo Jue could just ask for a male employee to tag along if he really wanted to prevent such a thing from happening.
Gao Lan was relieved after hearing her words.
"You're right."
As they were chatting, someone suddenly called out to Xia Jin from the corridor. "Miss Xia, President Huo is looking for you."
Xia Jin took the lunch and left in a hurry after bidding goodbye to Gao Lan.
After signing the last contract, Huo Jue leaned back on his seat. He pressed his brow and said without raising his head, "Get ready, there's a dinner party tonight."
Xia Jin's face, which was originally calm, flinched in an instant.
She lifted her head and looked at Huo Jue in surprise.
Huo Jue seemed to notice her gaze, and he frowned. "Is there a problem?"
Xia Jin quickly calmed down. Her tone carried a coldness that she did not even notice. "No."
No one dares to disobey Huo Jue's orders.
Her palms broke out in cold sweat. Her mind turned quickly as she thought about why Huo Jue wanted to bring her along this time.
She had been Huo Jue's mistress for five years. Although Huo Jue did not treat her very well, at least he did not let other men touch her.
Otherwise, with Xia Jin's looks, there would be many rich and powerful bosses who would lay their hands on her.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Xia Jin vaguely believed that Huo Jue might still hold some feelings for her.
But now, his decision seemed to be indicating something.
