Trapped with the CEO

"Why did you bring me here?" asked Janet. She asked and looked at the man who was now opening a bottle of red wine. He seemed to be quite fond of drinking red wine, as Janet had seen him drink red wine many times.

"Sleep!" The man only replied to her with a simple word.

...

Janet rolled her eyes at him, and said, "No! I am not sleeping here! You go to bed!"

"OK!" The man answered her straight forwardly.

Janet stood there, speechless, and didn't know what to do next. 'Should I stay or should I go?' she thought.

'I'd better leave!'

Janet turned around and walked towards the apartment's door. "I should go. Goodbye!" she said.

"Stop! Go to the bedroom's balcony, in the eastern side, and wait for me there!" demanded Daniel.

He then carefully poured his red wine into the wine decanter, and then began to delicately aerate it.

'To the bedroom's balcony? What's he planning to do?' wondered Janet.

"Can I refuse?" asked Janet.

"No!" After the man sternly replied, he rested his arms on the long table, seriously looking at his glass of red wine.

Janet rolled her eyes at him and then complied, walking towards the direction he had just told her.

Janet opened the bedroom's door and went in. She found that the bedroom was very clean and that the bed was tidy, with a deep brown colored lining set on it. She felt curious at the sight, because it seemed that seldom someone slept there; but the bed was still well made and tidied with clean bed sheets.

Without overthinking things, Janet opened the balcony's transparent glass door.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew over her, and she couldn't help but shiver from head to toe.

The balcony was tiled with ceramics in deep color, and it had a sunshade umbrella, along with a table and four chairs.

Above her was a glass-made ceiling, through which she could clearly see the night's sky and it's stars.

Standing in the door for a while, Janet couldn't help but step forward inside it.

The urban night scene of the city was now unfolding in front of her, and she could see the city brilliantly illuminated and bustling with all the cars going and coming on the roads. It was quite tranquil up there.

The glass door opened again, and Daniel came over to her, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

He held on to the woman's waist from her back, who was enjoying the night view near the balcony's rail, and said, "Do you like it here?"

It was quite peaceful here, and he thought it was only fair to bring her here, as she was inclined to be silent every time when she was sad.

"Not too bad." Janet made a simple comment, and then she stretched out her hands to catch the little snowflakes that were dropping down from the sky.

'Not too bad?'

Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?

ng in the phone. Then, Lola finally stopped her murmurings over the phone.

She took a look at her phone and saw that indeed she had dialed the the right number!

"Oh! Jane! Are you with Daniel?" Lola put back the phone over her ear; she was so surprised and happy.

'Ella was right! Jane's getting together with my son! That's good!' thought Lola.

Janet threw an embarrassed glance at the man next to her, who was enjoying his glass of wine, and she cautiously answered back to Lola, "Uh, yes. Right at this moment..."

'If mother* also misunderstands me as being his mistress, It'll be even more embarrassing' thought Janet.

(*TN: sworn mother)

But, without even expecting it, Daniel then suddenly drew himself more close to her and cut in with some words over the phone. "Not only just now, but we'll be together until tomorrow morning."

Janet didn't have the time to cover the speaker.

She gave him a furious stare, but he grinned a sly smile on his face instead; Lola then hastily answered on the other side of the line, "OK! OK! Then I shouldn't disturb you two any longer. Jane, I am hanging up now, and tomorrow, I'll..."

"Please hang up the phone, mother! Aren't you aware that you're disturbing us! Why are you talking so much?" broke Daniel in a peaceful voice. He had drawn closer to Janet again, and had cut short Lola's exciting speech over the phone.

Lola immediately hung up.

Janet pinched Daniel, and said, "What are you doing? Why did you say something like that when nothing was happening!"

"A single man and a single woman are spending the night together. Even if nothing is happening between us right now, we still can never explain ourselves clearly to others, " said Daniel. He put back the phone in his pocket, and thought, 'Well! It's really wonderful to stay at peace with Janet!'
