Chapter 153: The kiss that was pushed away
Rubbing her shoulder, which was a little drunk and sore, Lauren realized that it was past lunchtime.
She stood up, put down the documents in her hands, and then walked out of her office. Even if she
doesn't eat, the baby inside her belly still needs to eat.
"Lauren, your tactics are really brilliant, to actually return to the president's side again so quickly."
"Yes, Starfish, I heard that this woman seduces men very skillfully, otherwise that Joshua would not
have ruined the whole Leng's Group because of her, and I heard that Nangong Lixin is also asking
around for news about her."
Lauren had just walked into the staff cafeteria when her ears rang with the blatant comments of several
women about themselves, comments filled with contempt.
Faced with these relentless contempt and ridicule, Lauren has long been mentally prepared, so she did
not pay any attention to it, walked straight to the order counter, served some of their favorite light food.
"Lauren, you're not agreeing with our assessment, are you?"
Having been unable to hear Lauren's answer, Chen Haising and the few women around him were
somewhat reluctant. Carrying the dinner plate in his hand, he sat down opposite Lauren.
"Chen Haixing, are you very bored, if you feel very relaxed. I don't mind asking the president to assign
some things, to the planning department, later. By then, you won't even have time to sleep."
The nonchalant attitude on Lauren's face made Chen Haixing even more angry, and she simply took
away the dinner plate in front of Lauren.
"Chen Haixing, what exactly do you want to do?"
Lauren completely lost her patience, did not eat much all morning, now it was hard to do the work,
intended to let themselves and the baby have a chance to replenish nutrition, but now was interrupted
by these mean women, Lauren's face, immediately turned ugly.
"Lauren, I just can't stand you, you're obviously just a mistress, but you can actually stand in front of
the world blatantly, do you have any shame at all, you're simply a disgrace to us. Like your mother, you
are a stinking bitch who was born to be a vixen."
''Pop''
Lauren raised her hand, a heavy slap on the face of Chen Haising, hitting her eyes, covering her
painful cheek, for a long time on half a word.
"Chen Haixing, listen carefully, you can insult as much as you want, but if you dare to say half a word
about my mother again, I promise I will destroy this face of yours and tear your mouth with my own
hands."
Although mom used to do a lot of wrong things, but she is no longer in this world, Lauren will never let
other people, there are insulting words to say mom.
"How dare you hit me?" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The first time Lauren slapped, and in front of so many people, Chen Haixing, the manager of the
planning department, felt a bit embarrassed.
"Chen Haixing, today is just a slap, if there is a second time, I guarantee that it is not something that
can be solved by a slap. Now get the hell out of here and disappear from my sight immediately, or I
dare not guarantee what I will do?"
The expression on Lauren's face was very cold, so cold that it was frightening.
"Starfish, let's go, the future is long, we will find the opportunity to fix this woman later, don't lose a lot
for a little, huh?"
A woman beside Chen Haixing said in a low voice.
"Okay, Lauren, I'll let you off the hook today, but you better be careful not to fall into my hands, or I
won't let you get away with it."
Accompanied by his colleagues, Chen Haixing left in a rage.
Lauren picked up the food on her plate again, but lost her appetite. He intended to eat a few bites to fill
his stomach and then leave, but saw Emily and her assistant walking towards his direction.
"Lauren, what a coincidence to see you here, did you still have a hard morning?" Emily sat directly
across from Lauren.
Lauren shook her head, a light smile lifting the corners of her mouth.
"It's not very hard, the old me used to do this a lot so I'm used to it, Emily, I'm done eating, I'll go back
to the office first."
Ever since she found out that Matthew had taken a shine to Emily, Lauren didn't know how she was
going to deal with the best friend who might steal her man.
"Lauren, did I do something wrong? Why do you have to leave when you see me? You leave like this. It
will make the other colleagues mistake that I am bullying you."
Emily took Lauren's hand and wouldn't let her leave, so Lauren had no choice but to sit down again and
eat the meal she had lost her appetite for.
"Lauren, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?"
Lauren shook her head.
"Misunderstanding? How can it be, Emily, you are my good friend, the only good friend I have in this
world, how can there be a misunderstanding between the two of us? The reason why I have to leave is
because I really have a lot of work to do, and I have to prepare lunch for Matthew, which is something I
should do as a secretary."
Lauren grabbed the lunchbox she had packed and headed for the door.
"No need to prepare it, I've already sent it to Matthew and it's his favorite chicken cutlet with rice. He
should have eaten by this time."
These words made Lauren feel the bento in her hand, so heavy.
"Good, even if you're ready, I'll save it for the night when I work late."
Not wanting anyone to see the vulnerability on her face, Lauren left the restaurant without looking back.
"Miss, this woman will be a stumbling block in your plan, should we find a chance to get rid of her?"
The assistant took the dinner plate and placed it in front of Emily's face, with a hint of sinister venom
radiating from her eyes.
Emily shook her head.
"Don't do anything rash, now is not the time to get rid of her, she will be an important pawn in my
hands, remember, tell all the people that Lauren cannot be touched or I will not let him go."
Emily gently admonished her assistant, fearing that she might do something that she could not control.
"I understand, please don't worry, Miss, what I am most worried about now is Xu. These days he has
been sullen, and often shut himself up in his room, drinking heavily every day, even the master is not
very happy with his current situation, Miss, please persuade him, if this continues, he will be punished
by the master."
The assistant grew up with Asahi. So there is a sisterly concern for Asahi.
"I know, I'll take care of this matter, eat up, we have to discuss the resort with Matthew this afternoon,
show your professionalism and don't lose my face."
The name Wook. It made Emily's heart sting a little. She couldn't forget what kind of price she got when
she volunteered to give herself to him.
After lunch. After briefly packing up the materials for the afternoon meeting, Lauren came to Matthew's
office with her notebook in hand.
"Here's your itinerary for the afternoon, except for discussing the resort case with the people from
Shangguan's Group. At 7 p.m., you will dine with the daughter of the president of Grand Department
Store. The restaurant and the gift for her, I have prepared and put in your car."
Lauren's businesslike attitude made a nameless fire rise in Matthew's heart.
"Do you really like me dating other women that much?"
Matthew stood up and walked over to Lauren, his long index finger hooked her small chin and forced
her to look at him.
Lauren let out a soft sigh.
"Do I have the right to say no? Matthew, you are the one who reminds me time and time again. Be
aware of who you are, you're the one who makes me understand time and time again that I'm inferior
so I can say no to whichever woman you go on a date with?"
The flash of pain under Lauren's eyes pierced Matthew's innermost being.
He lowered his head and sealed Lauren's cherry lips without refusal. Taking advantage of her surprise,
his tongue nimbly dug into her mouth. Absorbing the sweetness inside that belonged only to her.
With Matthew's skillful technique, Lauren slowly relaxed all her guard and couldn't help but put her
hands around Matthew's neck, lingering with him and feeling the heat coming from each other.
Matthew's sharp eyes saw a familiar flash of skirts outside the door of the office that wasn't closed.
His face, raised a profound smile, suddenly pushed away Lauren with force, if not Lauren has been
tightly pulling Matthew's sleeve, this time will certainly be this force pushed to the ground.
"Lauren, quickly put away the greedy look on your face, I, Matthew, do not like a woman who actively
seduces me. Do your own job, for a lowly woman, I Matthew has no interest."
The words were like a bolt from the blue, fiercely pumped in Lauren's body, her face instantly turned
pale. She looked at Matthew in front of her with disbelief.
She couldn't believe that the man standing in front of her now, all cold and with a sneering smile on his
face, would be the same man who had just unfolded his passion for himself and kissed him with deep
affection.
"Go down to work. I don't want to see that face of yours again until after work."
Matthew sat back in his chair with a contemptuous expression still on his face.
Lauren stubbornly swallowed back the tears she was about to lose control of, picked up her notebook
and stumbled towards the door.
Looking at Lauren's lonely back, Matthew's heart was not feeling well either. But he knew that only by
doing this himself could he ensure that she was not in any danger.
"Lauren, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Or are you too tired from work? If work is too
tiring, I can talk to Matthew and ask him to relieve some work for you."
Lauren just walked to the door. He saw Emily standing in the doorway.
Emily's face, always with a smile on it.
"No, I'm very comfortable with my job now, I'll go back and organize the information first."
Ignoring Emily's concern, Lauren left without looking back.
Emily, in turn, was accompanied by her assistant to Matthew's office.
"Matthew, I just saw that Lauren's face doesn't look very good, is it because she has too much work for
her body to handle?"
Matthew shook his head, a sneer flashing at the corners of his mouth, but he hid it well enough not to
let Emily notice.
"She wanted to seduce me and go back to her old life, she just didn't expect to be faced with my
uncaring treatment. Of course she will be in a bad mood, Emily, ignore her, or hurry up with the next
work, I don't want to let the existence of that woman affect my good mood."
Matthew's face was disgusted at the mention of Lauren's name.
"Matthew, if you don't like Lauren, you can let her go, right? Why must you keep her by your side? It's
painful for you and painful for her."
Emily asked Matthew tentatively.
"Because she has a baby now, of course I have to let her stay with me, but when she has the baby,
that's when she'll leave me."
Emily nodded her head.
"I hope you've made the right decision, let's discuss work, we'll probably be very busy for the next
while, and it will be so busy that you won't even have time to sleep."
Matthew laughed a little, took out the information he had prepared long ago, and discussed it with
Emily.
