Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Of course, we have an improper relationship.

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the end, even though she was unwilling, under a certain despicable CEO’s threat, she could only get in the car and travel with him to the office.

Through the car’s window, she looked at the familiar passing scenery, and her grumpiness over being threatened by the man faded a little.

“Just drop me off at the junction before the company later.”

With her mood slightly better, she broke the silence in the car.

Staring straight ahead, the mood of the man, who was driving the car with a neutral face, seemed to have worsened a little, instead.

“… Why?” he coldly asked after a while.

“Do you even need to ask?! Of course, it’s to avoid drawing any unwanted attention to us,” she replied unthinkingly.

“Seriously, because of your stupid contract, it gives me the feeling that I have a special background, so my employment in your company is just a joke.” She began to grumble.

“I come and go as I wish. Sometimes, I go to work; sometimes, I don’t. No matter who looks at it, they’ll think that I’m no regular employee.”

The more words she spoke, the stronger the feeling she had that entering this man’s company was a mistake. Perhaps, it was time for her to resign…

The way she was working now was too… unprincipled.

“Say; if both of us show up at the company today, especially with me climbing out of your car, people there are certainly gonna get the wrong idea about us. I—”

The man cut her off before she could finish her blabber.

“Get the wrong idea? Any opinion on what kind of ideas they might have?”

At a red light, he stepped on the brakes emotionlessly to stop the vehicle.

“Of course, they’ll mistakenly think that we are having an improper relationship…” She reflexively uttered her thoughts aloud, only realizing what she had said after she was done speaking.

“Ha ha! A small fry like me couldn’t possibly have any rumors of a relationship with you, but some not-so-nice things might spread, like—”

The man cut her off again mid-speech.

“The two of us? Of course, we have an improper relationship.”

“… Eh?” Ehhhh? What? What is this annoyance talking about?

Having heard his remark, her eyes widened so much they looked as if they would fall out any moment now.

“M-My dad said that one should be careful with what they say,” she stammered, a little tongue-tied, her eyes still wide open in shock.

Spying the shock on her face, he curled his lips in nonchalance. “Don’t forget the type of contract we signed.”

“Er…”

She recovered from her shock at that; it seemed that she had forgotten some things!

She had, in fact, signed a contract to act as this man’s shield – his girlfriend even.

As such, it was naturally better for that kind of rumors… to fly around!

The traffic light turned green at this point.

“You remember now?” He scoffed before he stoically stepped on the gas.

She nodded awkwardly, mumbling, “Still, it’s a little too sudden… You just want to trick your parents and not your colleagues, right?

“Ahhhh! It can’t be!”

If she had to be known as a couple with this annoying fellow in the company… she would rather just resign!

“Why? Are you that much unwilling? Are you really so against others finding out about our relationship?”

His gaze on the road ahead turned cold, as did his voice.

However, in her moment of internal struggle, she did not catch it.

“Of course not! In the first place, what we have is a bogus relationship. This… This is no good. It’s too awkward…”

Just thinking of how her colleagues would react if they found out that she was his ‘girlfriend’…

‘It must be fake! How could our CEO Ji be interested in this ugly woman Pei Ge?’

‘Exactly! How is this ugly woman good enough for our CEO Ji?’

‘Do you think that this ugly woman is holding on to some secret of our CEO Ji, so…’

‘Maybe that’s the case! How shameless of her!’

‘Could it possibly be…’

‘Be, what?’

‘That our Miss Pei is really good in bed…’

‘Oh…’

‘What a vixen!’

‘Shameless!’

‘Disgusting!’

“…” D*mn it! She would become public enemy!

How would she survive in the company in the future? This was so unfair!

She could not help but wrap her arms around herself, her face showing disdain and melancholia.

Unfortunately, the man perceived her expression as disgust of him and her not wanting to be embroiled with him.

He stepped on the brakes suddenly, and this threw her body forward.

Green light again?

Confused, she looked at the road ahead, but she saw no traffic lights anywhere at all.

“Pei Ge, don’t forget that we signed a contract. You! Have! To! Listen! To! Me!” He turned around to face the confused her.

“… Haven’t I been listening to you.” She looked at him, feeling a little exasperated.

Seriously, why is this annoyance acting up again?

“So, from today on, you must take my car to and from work. We will enter the company together and leave it together,” said the man in an especially cold and serious voice. His gaze was affixed on her.

“Huh?” Shocked by his ‘frightening declaration’, she was momentarily at a loss for words. “… How about we don’t—”

“I am your superior.” His gaze and voice were cold. “So, you must listen to what I say.”

“… But this isn’t just anything.” She frowned, a little hesitant.

All she wanted was to go to work and hold her own there. She really did not want her workplace to become a battlefield.

“You don’t have the right to refuse,” he said.

“Then… I think I’ll just resign.” She would be unable to handle such a work life. Sigh…

“No way!”
