Chapter 544: Chapter 544

Ling Chuxia gripped the water bottle with sudden force, her eyes became panicked in a flash because she worried too much and once again lost control of her thoughts...

To tell the truth, she really wanted to nod her head, regardless of everything, and loudly tell him that she, Ling Chuxia, did care about him, Shi Che. But, while dreams were beautiful, reality was cruel. Ling Chuxia’s grip on the bottle grew tighter, her large eyes blinked, and a smile hung on the corner of her lips as she tried to sound as natural as possible, "Of course I care about you, I am your secretary now, it’s natural for me to take good care of my boss’s health."

The light in Shi Che’s eyes dimmed instantly, his lips curled slightly, and not even a hint of disappointment was left, after all, he had already become numb from despair. Now that she was still by his side and he could see her, enjoy her so-called care, it was his own selfishness, what more could he ask for?

Shi Che composed himself, gave Ling Chuxia a glance, and actually reached out to take the water and pill from her hands, popped the pill into his mouth, took a gulp of water, swallowed it, and said in a low voice, slightly cold, "Thank you." Then, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes again.

Then, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes again.

As the words "Thank you" were uttered, the smile on Ling Chuxia’s face slightly stiffened.

Shi Che had been warm to her, cold to her, but never indifferent , as if he was dealing with a stranger, distant and unemotional.

This was the result she wanted, but when the scene actually unfolded, she felt sorrowful, her heart clenched tightly, painfully.

Feeling a hot swelling at the bottom of her eyes, she bit her lower lip hard, suddenly turned her face, and looked out the window, her back towards Shi Che, not daring to let him see her upset.

Suddenly, the car became extremely quiet and oppressively so, no one spoke again, and the vehicle headed back to the hotel entrance.

Xiao Li got out of the car first and opened the back door, Shi Che opened his eyes and stepped out directly, but although his headache was slightly relieved, the alcohol was still spreading, and his steps were a bit staggering, very unstable.

Ling Chuxia knew that her work for the day was done, she had accompanied Shi Che to meet so many clients in the morning, socialized for so long at the banquet in the evening, kept up a fake smile, and stood for so long in such high heels, her feet were no longer her own, so swollen. She should go straight home, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep.

But seeing Shi Che’s swaying figure and unstable steps, knowing he drank so much and combined with his headache, it must be very uncomfortable, but back in his room, he was all alone and had no one to take care of him.

Her mind suddenly became a mess, fiercely pulling at her heart, her hands on her knees twisted together tightly, her teeth sank into her lower lip as she hesitated again and again, still unable to just leave.

She could only console herself that she just wanted to be a responsible secretary, so as not to give Shi Che a chance to mock her, to choke her.

Yes, just a responsible secretary!

Ling Chuxia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then quickly pushed open the car door, following the silhouette of Shi Che. Check latest chapters at novel-fire.ɴet
