"Why are you so fussy about your drink?" Qin Zhuzhu huffed and the man's gaze darkened.
The atmosphere turned dark and tense. Did she say something wrong? However, she was not the least scared. What could this man do to her?
"You're new here. Do you know that this behaviour of yours can get you fired?" He said in a threatening and playful tone.
"Oh really? You want to complain to my boss? Sure, you can. But I'll also complain that you are purposely picking on me, harassing me. Let's see who the boss believes," Qin Zhuzhu said calmly with a smile.
It was a warm, pleasing smile. The man could sense the hint of mischief in her eyes. No one would dare to say these things to him but this girl. Her foxy eyes glinted at him like a pair of diamonds behind the glass in a museum.
"What makes you think the boss will listen to you?" He asked her, smirking.
"What makes you think the boss will listen to you, not me?" Qin Zhuzhu took his question and used it against him.
There was a tense silence before the man broke out laughing. The sound of his laughter was somehow pleasing to Qin Zhuzhu's ears. What a magnetic and sexy voice, she thought.
"So you're not here for a drink? You're here for something else, right?" Qin Zhuzhu made a guess.
The man locked eyes with her. "Yes," he replied. When those sharp beautiful eyes met hers, Qin Zhuzhu felt her heartbeat increase. Damn! What a shame this man wasn't a model. He looks like a reincarnation of Pan An!
This girl was smart, the man thought. He was starting to get impressed by her. She was not only eloquent but beautiful and didn't put on airs. And she wasn't trying to seduce him or get his contact number like those other girls that his grandpa made him go with on blind dates.
"Tell me what you are looking for. Maybe I can help you," Qin Zhuzhu tapped the counter lightly with her fingertips.
"Why would you help me?" The man seemed like he didn't believe her.
"Why wouldn't I help you? Aren't you rich?" She crossed her arms and swept a glance across his body.
Qin Zhuzhu could see that the suit accentuated his muscular figure. His collarbones were peaking out at her and his neck was thick and muscular. Even she could see the muscles in his arms bulging through his suit. Very sexy and handsome!
"That's a customized JX suit from the Beijing ShanHu department store. It's said that to order a piece of clothing, one has to place their orders months ahead due to the company's busy schedule. Not only that, the Beijing ShanHu department store only accepts high paying customers with no less than five thousand in their pockets. That watch on your wrist is worth millions with special features. There's even a hidden blade in your watch as a tool of self defense. Your shoes are top grade leather made by Jinjiang. So you're definitely not a thief or a conman trying to cheat me," Qin Zhuzhu analyzed him just by a single glance.
The man was impressed by her ability. He clapped his hands. "Very impressive,"
"And...." Qin Zhuzhu leaned over the counter and got close to the man. "I know you are wearing a tiny microphone to communicate with your partner somewhere, and one last thing, you don't act like a thief or bad guy,"
If the man moved a bit forward, their lips would have met. His gaze unconsciously travelled to her red lips and shining foxy eyes. This girl was definitely not that simple! To know all about the items and clothes he was wearing, she must have experience. Could she be hiding her identity too? The man was intrigued by her boldness.
"How do you know I'm not a bad guy?" He said playfully.
"Intuition. So tell me, what are you looking for? Maybe you can bribe me a little and I can help you find it," she suggested, her slender fingers drumming against the counter.
Such a money grubber! The man's peach blossom eyes slightly moved and his lips spreaded into a sexy grin.
Since she was much more cooperative than he expected, then maybe this could be much easier. He thought of asking Han Juexian and Ding Yu to stand down. Those two fools were probably fooling around on the roof or among the guests.
"Have you seen any papers or a file around? It should be somewhere in the kitchen," he asked her.
"Papers or a file?" Qin Zhuzhu thought.
"There's only food and drinks in the kitchen," she said after a while of thinking.
"Are you sure? I can't be mistaken," the man said and checked his watch. He was running out of time. That woman should be here by now. He needed to leave immediately.
"The papers are actually documents. It's very important. There should be..... The word Shentu on it," the man cautiously said. He didn't want to reveal too much to a stranger he just met.
Hmm.... Shentu? Why does it seem so familiar? She tapped the side of her head.
The man waited for her patiently.
Suddenly something hit her! The oven's manual! She vaguely remembered those words. But by now, the trash can has been loaded on the rubbish truck and sent to the dumpster..... Fuck! She was in terrible terrible trouble!
She looked at the man with her foxy eyes and blinked. The charm of her playfulness was gone, replaced by something else. He probably noticed her facial expressions as she was not good at hiding it.
The man noticed it. She knows where it was. Something must have happened! He leaned forward and whispered dangerously.
"Where's the documents?" He asked her.
"I..... Uh...."
"You know where it is. Tell me," he growled.
"Oh! You mean those garbage papers in the oven. I threw them into the trash can!" Qin Zhuzhu said.
"What!?" The man was surprised. "Y-you threw them away?"
The man suddenly grabbed her wrist and squeezed it painfully.
