It was a grey morning in Beijing. The rain poured hard and loud, drumming against windows and rooftops. Desperate drivers stuck in morning traffic honked their car horns. Policemen whistled. Lightning flashed. Thunder clapped.

Oblivious to the commotion outside, Zhao Xiaotang sat in her office, hands tapping away at her keyboard. The CEO was running on two hours of sleep and three cups of dark coffee, all because of Esther Yu Shuxin. The actress had decided to invade and reside in a large part of Zhao Xiaotang's busy mind, and Xiaotang had let her do so.

Zhao Xiaotang tried her best to focus on the documents she had to go over and the emails she had to write. She tried her best (no, she didn't) not to think about Yu Shuxin's lingering scent on her coat when the girl handed it back to her. She tried not to think about the girl's shy giggles. She tried especially hard not to think about those milky thighs she had seen that night in the car.

Why am I so obssessed with her?

She slammed the laptop shut. It wasn't okay of her to be that way. She is Zhao Xiaotang, the CEO of Zhao Cooperations. Zhao Xiaotang is the most ruthless businesswoman in China, not some lovesick teenage girl. She had bridges to burn and places to run. (Kudos if you know the song reference!)

Knock! Knock!

"CEO Zhao?" Duan Xiaowei, her secretary called.

"Come in!" Zhao Xiaotang replied as she composed herself.

The secretary entered the room timidly. "Chairman Xu is here. Should I let her in?" she asked.

"Sure, yes please."

Before Duan Xiaowei could say anything, Kiki Xu Jiaqi burst into the room like she owned the company. She then plopped down on one of Xiaotang's couches and made herself comfortable.
