Song Ying took out her phone and showed her a picture. âThis boyfriend. I didnât expect you to be on a date with your boyfriend yesterday. Someone in the hall took a picture of you and it has been posted on the school forum since then. Everyone is talking about it.â
Ning Yaoâs face turned pale.
She took out her phone to check the post and saw a blurry photo that roughly showed Clarence pulling her along by the hand.
God, why would someone post a photo online?
âYaoyao, your boyfriend is so handsome. When did you start dating? Why didnât you tell me?â Song Ying pouted, feeling a little wronged.
Ning Yao did not know how to explain it to her.
This wasnât her boyfriend at all. He was her boss!
After thinking for a while, Ning Yao pulled Song Ying over and whispered a few words into her ear.
âWhat!â Song Ying shrieked. âYour boyfriend is Clarence?!â
âLower your voice. Heâs not my boyfriend. Heâs my boss!â Ning Yao quickly covered Song Yingâs mouth.
âHeâs not your boyfriend? But he accompanied you to the lecture and even held your hand.â Song Ying shook Ning Yaoâs arm excitedly. âOh my God, Yaoyao, youâre amazing! Youâve only interned for a few days and youâve already conquered the head of Glory World Corporation!â
âI really didnât.â
But Ning Yao didnât bother saying that out loud. She knew there was nothing she could say now to convince Song Ying otherwise.
Although there were a lot of rumors about Clarence, his real face had not been exposed to the public yet, and Ning Yao did not want to cause him any trouble.
If they were mistaken as a couple, then so be it. After all, Clarence wasnât from their school. At most, she would be the subject of discussion among her classmates.
Ning Yao lay on the bed, tired. Before she could rest properly, she received a message on her phone.
âYang Yuan has returned to the country. Letâs have a meal with his family next week.â
This message was sent by Ning Yaoâs brother. Despite the calm tone of the message, there seemed to be a threat hidden within.
âWhat does his return have to do with me? Iâve been doing my internship and Iâm very busy, so I donât have time.â
Ning Yao decided to reject her brotherâs request to meet up.
She didnât want to see that hypocrite, Yang Yuan!
Soon, the next week arrived and Ning Yao entered the company on Monday with a heavy heart.
She had thought that things would be awkward between her and Clarence. After all, the two of them had woken up in the same bed that day. For something like this to happen between a superior and a subordinate, it could be said to be an epic social death.
However, to her surprise, Clarence was treating her no differently from before, which made her feel as if she had made a mountain out of a molehill.
Thankful, Ning Yao felt that she would be able to make it through the day feeling much more relaxed.
âForget it, Iâll just pretend that it never happened. After all, it was just an accidentâ¦â
However, the thought of the two of them hugging each other tightly still made Ning Yaoâs heart beat faster from time to time.
One day, Ning Yao had the same dream of the snake again.
In the hazy dream, she felt the big black snake slowly wrap around her body, the two of them pressed tightly together.
She held the black snakeâs tail as she rubbed her long legs against the snakeâs scales, letting out moans of desire.
Slowly, the big black snake suddenly changed into a man.
The manâs face became clearer as his deep eye sockets and high nose bridge became more defined.
This was exactly what Clarence looked like!
Ning Yao suddenly woke up from her dream, sweating a little and with rapid breathing. A strong desire was still rippling in her heart.
Oh my God, she had that dream again, and this time it was even more dramatic. The big black snake actually turned into Clarence!
The next day at work, Ning Yao did not even dare to look at Clarence.
âVera, get ready. I have a negotiation to attend this afternoon. You and Martin will come with me.â
âSure, no problem.â Ning Yao came back to her senses and immediately went to find Martin to discuss the work arrangements for the afternoon.
âAlright, you donât have to be nervous. If you have anything you donât understand, just ask me. Also, Mr. He is the king of the negotiation table so thereâs a lot you can learn from him. â
Martinâs eyes were filled with admiration as he spoke.
âAlright, I will.â
After talking to Martin, Ning Yao turned around and went back to her office. Halfway through, she remembered that she had to make a few copies of some documents, so she turned back around.
As she walked past the glass door, she suddenly heard a discussion.
