Chapter 38 The Pain is Nothing
Ang stood up tensely in his oppressive gaze, “I''m sorry.”
The slit of her cheongsam swang back and forth as she moved.
There was an obvious scar on her leg, but it blended perfectly with the pattern on her clothes, which
made Ang more attractive.
Others kept their eyes fixed on her.
James put the ss down gloomily.
He leaned back with ovepped legs, andmanded in a frosty tone,
“Get the fuck out of here!”
“The new girl was thoughtless to push her way in.
Come here, I got plenty of room for you.”
Someoneughed and patted the couch.
James gave Ang a straight look with his clenched lips.
“Thanks Mr. Leon. I’m all good.”
Ang swallowed down the humiliation. She tried to raised her mouth, “Now that Mr. Harvey doesn’t
want me to sit aside. I''ll just stand here.”
“Mr. Leon seems to be abandoned.”
Someoneughed out.
Mr. Leon smiled awkwardly,
“Never mind. Mr. Harvey is young and charming. I am sincerely convinced!
At least I won’t get questioned when I go home.”
The crowd burst intoughter. Then the conversation quickly returned to business.
James didn''t ask Ang to leave anymore, neither did he take a nce at her. He treated her as a
People talked casually about business, with James spoke asionally. He sat quietly most of the time.
Anyhow, no one dared to neglect him at all. The crowd kept resting upon James. If there were doubts
on his face, they would soon change the subjects.
“It''s really an honor for us to get Mr. Harvey here this time. I would like to make a toast to him and
everyone else!”
Someone stood up with a broad smile, and raised his ss.
Others followed and clinked.
James was thest one to stand up. He did a slight clink.

“Mr. Harvey can not drink much. Let me take this for you.”
Ang whispered with her lips curled.
The crowd stunned there with a confused look.
Did she want to drink for Mr. Harvey?
James stared at Ang. After a moment, he poured some wine and handed to her.
Ang took the ss decisively and tossed off.
“This beauty is indeed a drinker!”
Someone pped hands and guffawed, “Get one more.”
The valuable wine twisted down from the ss, with a rich vour spread over. Ang’s ss quickly
got filled up again.
Ang swept her eyes to James with the wine ss in her hand.
He sat in the couch with a misty look. Obviously he didn’t pay attention to her at all.
Ang ticked her lips with an ironic smile. Then she gulped the wine bitterly, after toasting with the
bosses.
James changed his posture, resting his hand on thep,
and took a quick peek at Ang’s emptied ss with his knitted brows.
“I really like how jovial she is.”
“I agree. But it’s sinful to waste a bottle of good wine by quaffing it.”
“Don''t cast a chill over. Let’s toast once again.”
Ang raised her ss again and stood among these middle-aged men. She lifted her lips up a little.
There was already a slight difort over her stomach. But she still drank in one gulp decisively.
As long as James was pleased to forgive her, she can surely cope with such minor difort.
Seeing Ang gobbled one ss after another, James loosened his tie a little, but the suffocation
didn’t get eased off.
He ducked his head with a cigarette between his fingers.
“Let me light it for you.”
Ang fought the urge to throw up, hunkered down in front of James, and meekly lighted his cigarette
with the gold leaf lighter on table.
The burning me was vividly reflected in her eyes. She looked up at him, with no sign of the unruly
rich princess she used to be.
James stared down at Ang. He paused before taking a puff on the cigarette, then blew a delicate
swirl of smoke.
Ang turned off the lighter and ced it back. Then she stood quietly behind him.
By the time James finished, she quickly bent down and poured a ss of wine for him.
She didn’t pay attention to anyone else, nor would she serve them.
The others guffawed that Ang was only interested in James.
After a while, they left one after another. Only Ang and James were in the room.
“You never seem to get tired of seducing others, even working as a cleaner here. You look really
terrible.”
James nced at her with a piercing voice.
“You got it wrong.”
Ang felt a burning fire in her stomach, and wiped the sweat from her forehead, with total obedience
in her eyes,
“Gabri asked me to serve as a receptionist.”
James didn’t respond, passing her and went out with a serious face.
He stopped when he reached the door, “Don''t drink if you are suffering from gastric disease.”
Ang trembled slightly as she pressed her stomach.
Was he... worried about her?
Ang turned to look at his back. Before she uttered her appreciation, a cold voice came up,
“I don’t want any of my employees died here for work.”
Then he strode out.
By watching him leave, Ang instantly felt the frozen breezy, and her limbs seemed to be stiffened as
well.
Ang rubbed her dizzy head andughed at herself. Did she drink too much?
She thought he would care about her.
In the hallway.
James constantly think of Ang’s cheongsam, which made him antsy for no reason at all.
He didn’t know whether he was angry, or having other feelings towards Ang... Though it wasn’t his
first time. Her cheongsam was extremely conspicuous tonight.
He walked a little faster with his loosened tie. A male voice came out when he passed by the
supervisor’s office.
“I just got a new stuff. Wonder if Mr. Young is interested or not?
Well, a jade pendant from the Ming Dynasty. I want you to check it for me.”
James slowed down with an image emerging in his mind. There was nothing on Ang’s neck.
The door was cracked open. James stopped and peeped through. After a moment, he pushed open the
door and walked in.
