Sea Salt Mint and Freesia [BL]

Part 2

04

When I woke up, there was no one beside me, the room filled with a rich scent of sea salt mint.

I was dizzy, flashes of memory crossed my mind, my head throbbing with pain.

My phone displayed it was already 10 AM, luckily today was Saturday, no work.

Work, project, CEO Xu?

Thinking of Xu Qi, I suddenly came to my senses.

Damn. The CEO Xu they mentioned was Xu Qi.

The Xu Qi who always seemed displeased when he saw me.

But somehow yesterday, Xu Qi didn't scold me, nor did he throw me into the hallway, he even carried me into his room.

I suddenly remembered, a colleague once said Xu Qi disliked omega with freesia scent.

So, that omega was me!

All these years passed, and he still dislikes me.

I sighed, slowly got up, prepared to pack up and run.

Run! If I don't run now, I'm going to be done for!

I washed my face simply, and while looking in the mirror, saw two small red dots on my neck.

The weather is getting colder, and there are still mosquitoes? I didn't bother with it, hurriedly left the house.

As I stepped out, I saw a man in a suit standing at the door.

The man in the suit saw me, very politely nodded a greeting: "Mr. Zhuang, hello. I am the secretary of CEO Xu, just call me Xiao Tang."

"Hello, hello." I awkwardly greeted "Good morning Xiao Tang, bye!"

I was about to run, Secretary Tang gently stepped forward blocking my path: "Are you going home? CEO Xu had to return to the company for an emergency, he asked me to wait until you woke up and send you home."

I quickly refused: "No need, I'll take a taxi!"

Secretary Tang still smiled, narrowing his eyes, reminding me of a smiling tiger: "Please let me send you, otherwise CEO Xu will deduct my salary."

Sheesh. Xu Qi, heartless boss!

Does he hate me that much, afraid I'll run before he can settle the score?

Although a few years ago when I ran away, I indeed tricked Xu Qi.

Before he went for competition training, he asked me to wait for his return, saying he had something to tell me.

At the time I agreed on the surface, but thought: I'm not waiting for you, definitely nothing good.

You are just the jerk who always gets mad at me, go and be with your omega with a 95% compatibility rate!

So I found his father, asking him to help me transfer schools and hide my whereabouts.

Just for this, Xu Qi held a grudge till now.

As an employee, I don't want to make things difficult for Secretary Tang, who is also an employee.

I had no choice but to agree to let Secretary Tang send me home.

Just got home, I received a call from a colleague I get along well with, named Wang Heng.

"Xiao Zhuang, were you okay yesterday? Heard you drank too much?"

"Uh huh, I'm fine."

"That's good." Wang Heng's topic shifted, becoming gossipy "Did you see CEO Xu yesterday? Heard he's stunningly handsome. I've only seen photos, indeed handsome, but the real person seems even more handsome than the photos."

I gasped, started playing dumb: "No."

"That's a pity. Many omegas in our company want to see him in person, saying Xu Qi is their ideal type.

"But they're just dreaming, heard Xu Qi is about to get engaged." My heart sank: "Huh? With whom?"

"Seems to be someone called Lu He?"

Oh, Lu He.

That omega with a 95% pheromone matching rate with Xu Qi.

When I went to work on Monday, Qiu Yi's desk was already empty.

I asked a colleague, and they said they didn't know who Qiu Yi had offended, but he was fired and had come to collect his things over the weekend.

I was stunned.

The general manager was in his office, and I knocked on the door, wanting to discuss with him whether I could withdraw from the project.

The partner is Xu Qi, I definitely can't continue participating.

But as soon as the general manager saw me, he showed a bright smile I had never seen before: "Xiao Zhuang, you're here? I was just about to find you."

His smile made me uneasy, I braced myself: "General manager, I want to exit this project, is that okay?"

The general manager's smile disappeared instantly, a huge sweat drop on his forehead: "Huh? What's wrong? Xiao Zhuang, is there something bothering you?"

Actually, he didn't initially want me involved in this project, I don't get along well with the general manager, he likes those who flatter him.

But because my mentor wanted to take me along to learn, I joined this project team.

But now he was desperately retaining me: "Xiao Zhuang, you can't leave, we rely on you for this project. I'll give you a bonus, how about that? Xiao Zhuang, we can't do without you!"

I tried to decline, but couldn't, and ended up taking on a task, I carried big and small packages of gifts, sent to Xu Qi's company, supposedly to foster good relations with the partner.

The direct person in charge of this project at Xu Qi's company was surnamed Chen, we all call him Brother Chen.

I arrived at Xu Qi's company building, thinking that I could quickly leave without running into Xi Qi.

I was like a thief, sneaking around the lobby, sending a message to Brother Chen.

【Brother Chen, I'll leave the stuff at the front desk, remember to pick it up when you're free.】

Unexpectedly, Brother Chen called me directly: "Xiao Zhuang, you're at our company?"

I hummed. "Then, uh, why don't you come up for a sit?"

"No need, I have something else to do later."

"Oh, oh." Not sure why, Brother Chen's voice revealed difficulty, like he was making up lies, "Then can you wait for me downstairs for a bit? I have something work-related to tell you."

I couldn't refuse, so sat waiting in the lobby. This entire building belonged to Xi Qi's company, and the lobby was luxurious, emitting a rich aroma.

While I was like a country bumpkin, looking around, the automatic door of the lobby opened, and a young man walked in.

He was dressed in an exquisite white shirt, his hair smooth, beautiful like a girl.

A person seems like his friend greeted him: "Lu He, you came?"

Lu He smiled back at him.

I started breathing rapidly, hid behind a sofa's plant, trying to block myself.

The elevator door opened, I thought it would be Brother Chen, but saw Xu Qi walking straight out.

He seemed to be looking for someone, scanning the lobby, his forward steps blocked directly by Lu He.

Lu He's smile was radiant: "Going out?"

Xu Qi ignored him, looked around again, his gaze paused when it swept to my direction.

I quickly averted my gaze, shrank back further, lowered my head, and silently chanted a spell: he can't see me he can't see me he can't see me.

Turns out, spells don't work.

Footsteps approached, a pair of shoes appeared in front of me.

"Zhuang Xu?" Suddenly, a phone message popped up.

Brother Chen: 【I suddenly have something else to do, can't meet you, our CEO Xu went down to find you haha!】

Me: "......" With no choice, I reluctantly raised my head.

Lu He rushed after Xu Qi, saw me, and his face instantly turned ugly.

"Zhuang... Zhuang Xu?" He barely pulled a smile "Is that you? What are you doing here?"

I'm not really familiar with Lu He, but out of politeness, I still responded: "I came to deliver stuff, leaving soon."

I didn't care about the gifts anymore, stood up, and wanted to run, but my hand was firmly grabbed by Xu Qi.

He held it tightly, his gaze focused on me, moved to my neck, and seeing those two somewhat faded red marks, a hidden satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

His other hand moved up, gently rubbed one of the red marks with his fingertip.

I felt like I was struck by lightning, and my body jerked violently as I tried to shake him off.

"You you you you you you!" I shockingly covered my neck, trembling, fled from this battleground like my life depended on it.

Game over.

Years without seeing each other, Xu Qi not only became more brutal but also perverted! He's perverted!
