Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Seeing that he had actually left the room to pick her items up at Isaac Wen’s desk, Stephanie Ruan secretly let out a smile and her anger is instantly dissolved.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Humph! Lucky for him who knows exactly how to coax a woman!

In no time, Stephanie Ruan’s desk is seated nicely on the empty space in front of the bookshelf, adjacent to his table.

She also forgot to mention the extra extension of the office space, featuring a mini kitchen and a considerably large dining area.

There is even an enclosed large bedroom at the end of the office with an attached bathroom.

With the interior design very compatible with any high-end international 5-star hotel, Stephanie Ruan could definitely foresee herself settling down comfortably in this place very soon.

“Such a horrible man but at least he has good taste…” She casually strolled around the room and checked out the city view from the large full-length windows.

As she returned to the main working area, Javier Zhong is already back at his desk, fully focused on his work. Her box of belongings is also placed neatly on her personal table.

Checking the time on the clock, she saw that it is around 5 plus in the evening.

After unpacking her things – which only took a few minutes, Stephanie Ruan looked at the serious man sitting across.

“Javier, shall we go and grab dinner?”

“Now??” He looked up from the document and asked.

Cross-checking the time on his watch, Javier Zhong must be thinking that it is still early for dinner…

But Stephanie Ruan quickly added, “I’ll bring you to my favourite place. If we still want to get seats, we better leave now.”

“Alright. We can leave now.” He replied decisively while arranging his documents on the table.

As they walked out of the room, Stephanie Ruan intentionally stayed behind Javier Zhong and signalled to Isaac Wen that they are heading out.

Yes!!…

Finally, the employees could knock off from work on time!!

Only when Javier Zhong is not looking that she went closer to Isaac Wen with a smirk, “You owe me one!”

“Yes, definitely. Anything you say.” Isaac Wen also behaved in a secretive manner and happily agreed to her.

Well, he is very careful… Given Javier Zhong’s sharp nature, it would not be good if he had caught Isaac Wen making these ‘deals’ behind his back.

Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruan is obviously feeling satisfied with Isaac Wen’s response. Even the steps that she took had become lighter than usual, which displayed her true joy.

To have one more person on her side, who would not be happy about it??

But little did she know, Javier Zhong had already caught on to their secret act from the very beginning.

While walking to the lift lobby, he glanced at the woman beside him who could barely contain her happiness.

“What did the both of you talk about?”

Right now, anything that concerns her, Javier Zhong wants to know.

So… he found out…

“??… Hmm?… Ahh!! Nothing much.” But Stephanie Ruan is clearly not interested to share with him.

Acting as though nothing had happened, they entered the lift, and the most unwelcoming sentence was heard, “I’ll ask him later.”

“??!…”

Afraid that she would end up getting Isaac Wen into trouble, Stephanie Ruan stopped his finger from pressing the basement level and smiled nervously at him.

“I just told him that we are going out for dinner. Why?? Are you not happy to be out with me?”

“…”

“Don’t be too hard on him!” Her hand that gently brushed against the back of his shoulder had made him lose all sorts of reasoning – in a good way of course.

Wait, is she flirting with him now?

What happened to her today??…

Why is she acting like that??

“…”

In reality, Javier Zhong is just overthinking…

This is actually how Stephanie Ruan communicates with people whom she is comfortable with.

But he could still be happy about this! After all, this could be a good indication that she is already opening herself up to him.

On the other hand, Stephanie Ruan, who did not know that her small and unintentional action has already led Javier Zhong to be on cloud nine, she unhesitatingly pressed the button that brings them to the ground level.

“This is the ground level. My car is in the basement.” He looked at her, thinking that she must have made a mistake.

However, Stephanie Ruan casually responded to him, “I know! But we are taking the bus!”

“Bus?? I can drive us there. No need for the bus.”

Shaking her head in disagreement, she sounded as though she is sharing her best game strategy with him, “You don’t know how this works… We don’t waste time parking the car. This place is more convenient by bus and foot!”

“??…”

“What?? Wait…” Baffled by this bizarre situation, Javier Zhong tried to stop her but to no avail.

Never has he once heard that public transport is more convenient than private transport… not until today…

“The bus is here! Hurry up!” Stephanie Ruan grabbed his hand and they ran a short distance toward the bus stop.

It is the biggest joke of the century to hear that the high and mighty Javier Zhong, who has not even taken a public taxi before, is actually running for a crowded bus!

This is definitely a priceless scene to behold!

“Let’s take another bus! Don’t run for this!” Seeing how she is still in high heels, Javier Zhong is worried that she might fall and hurt herself.

“No, we can’t miss this bus!” She insisted.

Left with no choice, Javier Zhong could only personally watch out for her. “Be careful! Watch your step!”

“Mmm, I know.”

Very quickly, they managed to board the bus successfully. Stephanie Ruan tapped her card twice on the card reader and spoke to the driver, “I’ll pay for the two of us.”

After which, they considerately made their way to the middle sector of the bus while more people boarded after them.

Stephanie Ruan gripped onto a handrail nearby, “It is a short ride there. About five stops away… I used to always take this bus from my school and I will…”

Noticing that an older man is standing right beside her, Javier Zhong is no longer in the mood to listen to her story.

He immediately pulled her directly in front of him and used one hand to hug her from behind, while the other hand is busy holding onto the handrail.

Startled by this sudden movement, accompanied by a random back hug, she spoke to him with a soft but annoyed tone, “Hey! What are you doing??”

“…”

“Protecting you.” He looked at her with a serious expression and this left Stephanie Ruan completely speechless.
