Chapter 18 - Do you still have me in your heart?

Panting, she glared at him. With her fists tightly grabbed onto his shirt, she pulled him back, and nudged behind his knee, bringing him down on one knee. As he knelt before her on one knee, she locked her mouth against his to return the favor.

To further tease him, she purposely rubbed her leg against his crotch. She heard the low growl emitted by him when he realized what her plan was but she did not stop. Instead, with her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, she demanded to be carried up.

His mind that had been emptied by her seduction followed through without protest as he lifted her up and carried her to the couch where she straddled him. At this moment, they had completely forgotten about the place they were in. At this moment, they were the only one in their world.

"President Du?" A knock was heard. The sound of door knob being turned alerted the two and Kai Xin immediately jumped off from his lap.

"You lose." DX grinned, despite being equally out of breath. The two of them looked as if they had just ran miles. When Kai Xin flipped him the bird, he laughed out loud. His voice made Kai Xin's desire to take him there and then to intensify.

"President Du? I think the door is locked." The door knob rattled as someone tried to open it.

Annoyed at the interruptions, he snapped, "I'm discussing on some matters with Ms. Zhen! We will be out in a moment! Stop knocking or I am going to knock your head off!"

When the knocking stops, she poked his chest, "Tyrant."

He took this opportunity to grab onto her hand and pulled her into a hug, "I miss you!"

She nuzzled against his chest. "Didn't you say two weeks?"

"My matters are done." He kissed her on the forehead, "I can't wait to start courting you."

"Stop messing around." She pulled herself away from her as she adjusted her clothes. Luckily, they were not crumpled badly. "I have to meet a client."

"Xun Holdings?" DX asked as he straightened his own shirt before helping her with her messed up hair. "I am your client."

When she looked up at him, he shrugged, "I oversee the management of Xun Holdings."

Before she could ask more, he added, "I will pick you up from your place at 7pm."

"And how do you know I would be off early? I am a very busy person."

He gave her one of his smug grins, "Aren't you looking down on me much? I checked through your schedules. Plus, I am about to give your firm another contract that is worth millions. Your boss was so happy that he practically allowed me to do whatever I want."

"What?" She glowered at him, "Looks like he has forgotten about my last threat to quit."

"Either way, you are mine for tonight." He frowned when he saw that her cleavage was showing slightly through her blouse and he immediately button up the top two buttons that she left open intentionally.

"Jealous much?" She laughed as she batted his hands away and when he frowned at her action of unbuttoning the first button, "I cannot breath, you green monster!" She was about to leave the room when he stopped her.

"What?"

"Your lips." He took out two disposable masks, "Can't let anyone see your sexy lips."

She touched her lips and realized that they were slightly swollen. Sighing, she took the mask and put it on. "People are going to wonder what happened."

"Just tell them that you had a cold and do not want to infect me. I'm usually particular about people working near me when they are sick. Thus, no one would question why I am wearing one too."

She looked at him, slightly awed that he had thought everything through before deciding to "attack" her at work.

With his poker face ready, he opened the door and said, loudly for people to hear, "As mentioned, I expect to see the contract by 7pm tonight, Ms. Zhen. If there is anything else you need, you can contact my assistant."

She was back to her cold self as she nodded, "I understand the urgency of the matter and I will do my best to send it to you by tonight."

"Let's get started on our meeting then. I believe my team of lawyers have been waiting quite impatiently."

DX was picking out his clothes for the big date when Callum and the twins burst into his room.

"Dad! Uncle Callum ate all the Japanese cookies you bought for us!" Jake snitched as he glared at his father's immature sworn brother. "I only had one piece!"

Even the usually composed and quiet Lyle complaint unhappily, "He ate all my sakura dango." He had specifically asked his father to buy it back and it was gone before he even ate one.

"You can get some more from Han Ye." He knew this would happen so he had told Han Ye to keep some at his place and out of Callum's reach.

"Everyone got nice gifts except me! What the hell is this!" Callum threw his gift on the bed. It was a T-shirt that was embroidered with, "My best friend went to Japan and I am a damn drunkard." He glared at DX who was carefully laying out all his casual clothes on the bed.

"Be glad that I even got you something. I was going to get you a pack of peanuts at first." DX picked up a striped T-shirt paired with navy blue slacks. Then he frowned and threw it on the floor and continue looking at the clothes on his bed.

Callum feigned heartache, "Do you still have me in your heart?"
