"Come in, Reporter Qi."
Maynard's voice came through from inside the office.
Viola avoided the eye contact, braced herself to go in, and spontaneously closed the door.
She turned around and found Maynard standing in front of her.
Viola smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chu..." Before she could finish her sentence, she was dragged to the French window.
With her back against the cold and hard glass, she was pressed against by Maynard. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place and could not move an inch.
As always, she failed to push him away. With a big smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Chu, it's true that I wasn't involved in the eavesdropping."
But her plan was spoiled before she took action.
"Why didn't you pick me up at the airport yesterday?" Maynard lifted her chin with his finger. His narrow and long eyes were dark and deep.
Stunned for a while, Viola quickly responded and smiled. "I was delayed by something yesterday, so I couldn't come."
She didn't want the scoundrels to know that she had come back suddenly when she arrived at the airport. After all, it was a bit embarrassing.
"What is it?" Maynard grasped her tight.
Subconsciously, she wanted to tell him what had happened in the barbecue party. But
She suddenly thought of the ugly scene after getting drunk, and immediately dispelled the idea.
With her long eyelashes trembling, Viola looked at her fingers innocently, "Oh, that's what you asked. The magazine never allows idlers. Of course I'm doing an interview outside."
She inadvertently showed a pleasing smile.
What responded to her was that he suddenly tightened his grip on her chin, which made her feel so painful that she almost shed tears.
With an expressionless face, Maynard looked at the woman whose eyes had turned red for two seconds. Without the least sign of pity for a woman, he asked in a cold voice, "Really?"
Viola nodded without blinking her eyes, "Of course it's true. You are my boss. How dare I lie to you?"
What's more, she did want to interview yesterday
"Viola, if I push you off the balcony, will you die or hurt?"
His eyes were as cold as ice. The hand supporting her chin slid down slowly and grasped her neck with all his strength.
She flushed with suppress and hurriedly clapped the hands on her neck.
The air she breathed became thinner and she felt hard to breathe. Finally, she loosened her grip on her neck.
"Ahem!"
Viola slowly slid down the glass to the ground. She was breathing the fresh air eagerly, but because of the anxiety, she choked and coughed violently.
With tears in her eyes, Viola raised her head to prevent the tears from falling. She glared at him and said, "Maynard, what's wrong with you?"
Maynard sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and his back to her. "You know what you have done very well."
Viola became nervous. Did, did he find that she was lying?
She stood up with her hands on her knees and held her head high, which was rare to see. "I'm interviewing. How do you make it? Bite me!"
Maynard acted as if he hadn't heard what she said, and coldly warned, "You'd better not treat me as a fool, or I'll let you die a miserable death."
His eyes were full of coldness. He would never allow anyone to deceive him.
A cold shiver ran down her spine. The pain in her neck was lingering and she said, " If there is nothing else, I will leave first. "
She pinched her thighs, trying to make herself look less scared with pain.
"There is only two months left before the agreed time. You'd better finish as soon as possible. After that, everything is off." Maynard didn't even bother to look at her.
Anna clenched her hands and said, "I see."
She touched her neck and concluded that he had been suffering from delusional disorder, although she felt that Maynard's attitude was strange.
She pushed the door open angrily and walked out. Then she wanted to vent her anger and slammed the door.
