MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 71 A painful reminder

"You jerk..."

"If you curse again, I’ll kiss you again."

I hadn’t anticipated her reaction to be so intense, so in a burst of anger, I slapped her on the butt.

"Smack!"

The impact was a bit too much. My hand even went numb.

At first, she was stunned, then tears welled up in her eyes, and she seemed about to cry. I sternly said, "No crying!"

She sniffled, bit her lip, and remarkably, not a tear fell! This contrary woman, obsessed with playing hard to get!

She was clearly very fond of me, but now pretending to be so virtuous.

I gently lifted her chin and said, "It’s been over a year. Even a stone would have warmed up by now! Can you honestly say you feel nothing for me? If you can look me in the eye, nod and say no, I’ll finish these two projects and leave the marketing department immediately." freewebnøvel.coɱ

My palms were sweating, too. At this point, I had to go all in.

If worst comes to worst, I’ll just go to the business development department later.

"You clearly have feelings for me. Otherwise, why would you let me help you with your back? You clearly dislike interacting with others!"

"How do you know I dislike interacting with others?"

I silently cursed myself, ’How did I let this slip out?’

"I’ve been by your side for over a year. Don’t I know this about you? Your preferences, your habits, I know them like the back of my hand."

"For instance, you really like eating durian mille-feuille, but you’re afraid of leaving a smell, so you always wait until after work to eat!"

"You also really like binge-watching dramas. Even though you don’t watch them at work, your dress style mimics the protagonist in those series. I watch the dramas you love, eat the foods you crave, listen to the songs you adore, all just to be closer to you."

"You... why have I never noticed you before?" she was taken aback.

"As I’ve said, you’re a high-ranking executive, unparalleled in your elegance, while I’m just a speck of dust at your feet. How could you have noticed me?"

I tightly held her hand and said, "Give me a chance. Even though I know I’m not up to your standards yet, I’ve been trying. Let me protect you, okay?"

She was completely flustered. "William, I... I don’t know..."

Confusion, huh?

Easy fix, I leaned in for a kiss.

She exclaimed, "William, don’t do this. I..."

"Be good, and follow your heart and feelings. Listen to me. Don’t resist. If you find it disgusting when I kiss you, then push me away. If not, just hold me tight."

After saying that, I kissed her gently and deeply.

Unlike Mary, her lower lip was plumper, as if she had lipstick on—sweet, like honey.

I didn’t dare make big moves, just carefully savoring, feeling her confusion and beauty.

Her body trembled violently, her hands gripping my clothes tightly, a mix of resistance and acceptance. She wanted to push me away but lacked the strength. After probably ten seconds, her hands wrapped around my neck.

I was ecstatic. She embraced me.

Next, I parted her lips, exploring, savoring all the beauty.

Alluring moans escaped from her throat, like a small flame, igniting dry firewood, instantly setting my whole body alight.

My hands held her slender waist, lifting her dominantly. She once said that if she ever met that dominant man, she hoped he would hold her and kiss her passionately!

She was naturally about 5’6" tall, but with her high heels, she towered at 5’9". Despite weighing only around 100 pounds, her waist was remarkably supple, a testament to her frequent workouts.

Even without defined abs, her S-shaped curves were perfect: curvy in the front and perky in the back.

Her kiss was hesitant, as if she could only passively endure it.

This hesitancy stemmed from her personality. She preferred being guided, much like a small boat navigating in a storm, simply going with the flow.

Ten minutes later, when she was almost out of breath, I finally released her.

She gasped heavily, letting out a slightly contented moan.

She curled up in my arms like a lazy Persian cat.

Of course, I didn’t let her go so easily. I whispered in her ear, calling her name, "Melody, after over a year, my dream has finally come true. Heaven has truly favored me."

"William, we really can’t do this."

She gasped. "It’s not right, and I don’t feel that way about you."

"Then why didn’t you push me away just now?"

"... You’re so strong. I couldn’t push you away!"

I chuckled at that. She always found excuses for herself. Clearly, she found enjoyment in it just now.

I deliberately said, "That was my first kiss. You kissed me, so you have to take responsibility!"

"Why should I take responsibility? You clearly forced yourself on me. That was my first kiss too!" she retorted.

"Alright, then, let’s both take responsibility. How about that?"

I smirked, lightly biting her earlobe.

She let out a soft "ah," her body trembling suddenly.

My left arm stung. I drew in a sharp breath. Damn, I hit the wound!

I quickly let go of her, and blood had seeped through the gauze, dripping from my fingertips.

Seeing the blood, Melody was also startled. "William, your hand!"

I inhaled sharply, pulling my clothes aside. Sure enough, the gauze was already soaked in red, and the stitches must have burst.

Damn. I was too excited and had completely forgotten about my injury.

"I’m fine."

"Even like this, you still say you’re fine?"

Melody said, "You were fine yesterday..."

"I ran into some trouble yesterday and got hurt. I can’t go to the office for a while as I need to stay in the hospital. I snuck out this afternoon."

I covered the wound and continued, "Let’s not talk about it now. I need to go back to the hospital first. If anything comes up, send me a message."

With that, I quickly kissed her on the corner of her mouth and then hurriedly took the elevator downstairs.

Flirting was important, but staying alive was more important.
