Chapter 263 Her Rtionship with Him


    "Whose message is it? You''re looking at it so intently." Vincent reached over abruptly and took her


    phone. Le''s hand trembled again as his grim voice suddenly sounded overhead. He''d taken the


    phone, but it seemed she still had messages left to read.


    Vincent happened to see thest message. Strangely enough, he just grunted and didn''t say anything.


    Then she didn''t know what he was looking at, except that he seemed to press a few buttons. Le''s


    heart tightened again. He handed the phone over and she looked down subconsciously to see that the


    message was gone. He had actually deleted all the messages.


    Putting the phone away, Le looked down and took a small sip of the water on the table.


    She felt scared of him as if she had done something shameful. He had seen Callum''s message, right?


    Was he going to humiliate her again by saying she was hitting on men?

    "Let''s eat!" Vincent ordered two set meals. He ate as if nothing had happened.


    Le looked at him in disbelief, but picked up her chopsticks and started eating anyway. She was a little


    hungry. The soy milk was pure and the small steamed buns smelled good...


    Vincent felt a little distracted and he loosened his cor. For the first time, he felt like he didn''t even


    know himself very well. He hadn''t changed all night, andst night he had rushed up and tried to kick


    the door open and break in, but when he heard her broken cries of paining from the t, he didn''t


    go in.


    Le, sitting opposite him, wolfed down the breakfast in front of her for a while, eating it all, even the


    soya milk, before taking a tissue and wiping her mouth, and stopping.


    Vincent was distracted and didn''t eat more than a few bites. When he looked up at Le across the


    table, heughed at himself even more.


    He must be out of his mind to have breakfast with this impure woman?!


    "Do you want ... another one?!" Watching her eat her breakfast clean, Vincent shrugged his shoulders


    and looked hopelessly at Le in front of him.


    Her eyelids were red and swollen from crying too longst night. He hadn''t expected her to eat an


    entire set meal with such appetite today.


    Le pursed her lips and shook her head. "I''m full!"


    "Then let''s go!"


    "But you haven''t eaten yet!" She pointed to the meal in front of him. He took a few sips of soy milk, a


    bite of the small steamed bun, and left the side dish untouched.


    "I''m not hungry!"


    "But skipping breakfast for a long time is bad for your stomach!" She couldn''t help but say. Knowing full


    well that such concern was wrong for them after what had just happened yesterday, but she couldn''t


    help but speak up anyway.


    Vincent frowned and actually started to pick up his chopsticks and eat.


    Le seemed relieved and smiled at him.


    She was smiling at him. But thinking about her cryingst night, he sighed, lowered his head, wolfed


    down a few bites, then wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Okay, let''s go!"


    The restaurant staff seemed to have just mopped the floor in the morning, and as Le walked beside


    him, she slipped when Vincent suddenly reached out and grabbed her around the waist. That was


    close. She almost fell.


    "Is everything all right? Why don''t you be careful? Stupid woman!" His hot breath was at her ear. His


    body was thick with the scent of tobo. Presumably, because he smoked a lot.


    Le raised her eyes in panic and her lips brushed his. His eyes narrowed and shed with a certain


    lust she was familiar with. She blushedpletely and whispered, "Thank you."


    "I called you a stupid woman, and you''re really stupid!" He sounded a little helpless. Then he released


    her and took her small hand. Le''s heart warmed and her face froze slightly in shock at his thoughtful


    gesture.


    Vincent drove Le to work and the car stopped in front of the city hall. Le was about to get out when


    Vincent said, "Wait!"


    She turned to look back at him and found him leaning over and nting a tender kiss on her forehead.


    She blushed suddenly.


    "Go on! I''ll pick you up from work this afternoon!" He said.


    Such a tender kiss made her tears freeze in her eyes instantly. She turned to get out of the car, took a


    few steps in a hurry, and turned back around only to find his car still there. She was too shocked and


    nervous again to say goodbye and ran into the gates of the city hall. It wasn''t until she turned the


    corner and could no longer see him that she gasped for breath with a pretty red face and then took a


    deep breath.


    The moment she entered the office, Le took a deep breath, forced a professional smile appropriate to


    her status as an employee, and stepped through the door.


    "Le, what happened to youst night?" Callum asked worriedly as soon as she entered.


    "Oh, I had a family emergencyst night. Sorry, I didn''t get a chance to tell you about it!" Le looked to


    one side of her head to see Renee behind Callum, who also looked at her with concern.


    "I''m d you''re okay!" Renee breathed a sigh of relief. "Callum and I were freaking outst night. We


    didn''t expect you to be gone after the power went out and came back on. I heard you danced with


    Callumst night and wowed the crowd. Le, I didn''t expect you to have this in you!"


    "Uh! Just so-so!" Le smiled, then realized that Callum seemed to be looking at her with a bit of heat


    in his eyes. She nodded, politely and distantly, and fled from his gaze.


    "Callum, I never thought we''d have two great dancers in our unit, Le and you. When are you going to


    show me how to dance? I can''t believe I didn''t see itst night. What a shame!"


    For some reason, Le felt as if Renee''s tone was tinged with a hint of jealousy.


    "You went for the eligible bachelorst night, didn''t you?" Callum nced back at her, "It''s your loss if


    you didn''t see it. Le, I wonder if I''ll ever get the chance to dance the rumba with you that we didn''t


    finishst night."


    His words seemed to have a deeper meaning.


    Le''s reply was also very meaningful, "It depends on fate. It''s time to go to work. Don''t you all work?"


    "It''s time to go back!" Callum didn’t give up, but could only walk towards his office next door.


    As soon as he left, Renee immediately came up to her. "I saw Vincent drag you outst night. Are you


    guys okay?"


    "You saw that?" Le was surprised.


    "Yeah, as soon as the power went out, I happened toe over the hallway and saw you guys go into


    the lounge next door ..." Renee said as her eyes got ambiguous and looked Le up and down. "You


    guys aren''t doing anything in the break, are you?"


    "What?" Le didn''t respond for a moment.


    "My goodness, Le, you really are so innocent!" Renee couldn''t help but raise her voice. "I didn''t


    expect there to be a woman as innocent as you in this society. My God, you''re like a national treasure!"


    Le reacted, and her face suddenly flushed. "Why are you going out?"


    "Hey! Don''t mention it! I had a small talk with one of the bosses of HY Group. I saw that the man looked


    like a gentleman, but I didn''t expect him to be a lecher. Before I could say something, he wanted to


    drag me to have sex and made excuses about going outside for some fresh air. As soon as we came


    out, he wanted to take me to the suite. Luckily, I was smart enough not to follow him in. In fact, it was


    fine to go in. Even if I had gone in, I would have kicked his dick as long as I didn''t want to have sex!"


    "He''s interested in you?" Le wasn''t gossiping, but fearing Renee would change the subject to her


    again, she had to make herself gossip.


    "He''s interested in my body, I think!" Renee shrugged dismissively. "If he''s only interested in my body,


    that won''t do. I want abination of spirit and sex, not just sex. If it''s just for sex, I can go to a male


    prostitute, and I don''t need to find an eligible bachelor!"


    Yes!


    Women want to have sex with love. That was different from men!


    Just thinking about her rtionship with Vincent made Le sigh a little. What was it between them?


    A couple? And yet there was no affection.


    Bedfellows? It didn''t seem to be consensual. Weren’t bedfellows always willing and happy? But


    between them, there was only violence and unhappiness.


    "I''m trying to find an eligible bachelor, but I''m trying to do it with integrity. I don''t want to end up getting


    myself into trouble without finding an eligible bachelor. That would be a big loss!"


    Startled by Renee''s words, Le smiled. "Yes, love is the most important thing!"


    "Le, did you and Vincent get married because of love?" Renee changed the subject back to Le.


    Le froze and asked, "Is there love in this world?"


    "Who knows! Didn''t you have a like-minded boyfriend in college? Why did you get married before you


    even graduated?"


    Speaking of boyfriends, Le''s eyes couldn''t help but get deeper. The man who had said he would be


    her boyfriend had gone to Australia to study in her sophomore year and she hadn''t heard from him


    since. She wondered if he was doing well now.


    "No!" Le shook her head. Although the man had said he would be her boyfriend, she hadn''t said yes.


    Technically speaking, she didn''t have a boyfriend.


    "Then we''re really in the same boat! I''ve never been in a rtionship either!"


    This was a bit of a surprise to Le. How could a girl as outgoing as Renee not have been in love?


    As they were talking, the office phone rang and Renee answered it. "Hello! Oh, Callum. Why are you


    calling instead of working? We''re so close,e and talk if you need something!"


    "What? Le, have you had breakfast yet?"


    "I''ve eaten!" Le replied.


    "Le said she''d eaten, but I hadn''t. Callum, what? I can''t believe we''re still ssmates! Are you such


    an old-school friend who forgets his friends when ites to sex? What do I want to eat? Hey, let''s


    have KFC. I''ll have the fried chicken leg. Yes, the same as before. Yeah!" Renee cheerfully hung up the


    phone and turned around to see Le looking at her. Then she asked sheepishly, "You, what are you


    looking at?"


    "So you and Callum were ssmates, huh?"


    "Yes! Didn''t I tell you?" Renee was slightly puzzled.


    "No!"


    "Callum and I were ssmates from kindergarten to primary school. We didn''t go to the same school in


    middle and high school. When his dad got a job transfer, he transferred away after primary school.


    Then to my surprise, we met again in college and became colleagues again after college. That was it!"


    "That''s quite a destiny!" Le eximed.


    "What a shitty destiny! Can''t you see he''s interested in you?" Renee shook her head. "But you''re


    married. I bet if you weren''t married, he''d be chasing you like a wolf on amb! You don''t know how he


    used to chase girls in college. He is quite good at it!"


    "Unfortunately, I''m married!" In one sentence, Le set aside her rtionship with Callum. Because she


    seemed to have picked up on the subtle rtionship between Renee and Callum. A childhood


    sweetheart? Years of schooling together? That was quite a rtionship! "Why are you trying to find an


    eligible bachelor instead of developing a rtionship with Callum?"
