No One Was, Is, Or Will Be...

Wang Lei sat on his seat, talking to someone over the phone. He raked his hair out of frustration, making his hair disheveled but still, making him look attractive all the more!

"How the hell did you get a hold of my number?" he snapped, the voice of a woman heard from the other end of the line.

"How can you ever do this to me!? Didn't we share a moment together?"

Hearing this, Wang Lei couldn't help but scoff. He rolled his eyes as a smirk appeared on his face, what she said not important to the man with whom she's speaking with.

"We just fucked once… and you think we shared a moment?"

The woman on the other end of the line stifled her sob, choking on her words as she tried her best not to cry so she won't make a fool of herself.

"I-I… you said I'm beautiful and that I caught your attention, a-and—"

"Yes, you are beautiful and indeed, you had caught my attention."

Wang Lei interrupted, what he said next breaking the woman's heart as he even ended the call, not bothering to wait for a reply.

"But that's all there is to it. Nothing more, and I don't want to talk nor see you again."

Wang Lei then put his phone on the desk. Slumping on his office chair, he sighed, then he looked at his side to look at his reflection in the mirror.

He stared at himself for a little longer. He looked how disheveled his black hair is, but he had no intentions of fixing it as of this moment.

He remembered how he is among the most handsome men ranked in their city, making daughters of other companies want him as if he was a reward.

However, Wang Lei never wanted to be in a serious relationship. Once he sees someone he fancies, it would just be temporary, living up to the meaning of the word, "fancy."

Taking a fancy to someone means having a feeling of liking or attraction, typically one that is superficial or transient, and is usually temporary.

He couldn't bring himself to like someone for a long time, because he found himself difficult to commit—one thing that he feared doing because he loved the freedom to himself all the more while he continues chasing his dreams.

Sooner or later, a knock was heard on his door, making him compose himself. He snapped out of his thoughts as he sat straight on his chair, fixing his tie as he combed his hair with his hand.

"Come in," he instructed, the sound of heels clicking on the tiled floor heard after the office door was closed.

"Hello, Mr. Wang Lei. Here are the papers that are needed to be signed before I send them out and sort them," the woman before him greeted and said, the CEO of W&S Co., looking up at her to assess her quickly.

Her wavy, brown hair was tied into a neat ponytail. She wore a white blouse that was tucked inside her black pencil skirt, her white two-inched heels complimenting the outfit. She also wore black stockings, making Wang Lei think briefly if it is laced or not.

Shaking himself from his own perverted thoughts, he got the folder from the table and opened it, scanning the papers briefly before he got his pen to sign.

"Thank you, Yu Yan," Wang Lei thanked her, asking a question at the same time. "Are there more?"

"Nothing more, Mr. Wang Lei," Yu Yan answered as she smiled, Wang Lei, looking up at her as he handed her the folder, the documents already signed.

"Once you're done with sorting out the papers, ask someone to hide my personal information. Someone had just called me in my personal number," he instructed, Yu Yan, cocking her head to the side.

"Again?"

She couldn't help but comment, Wang Lei, arching a brow at her as he did not like his secretary's reaction.

"Did I tell you to comment?"

"No," Yu Yan immediately answered, her smile, widening more as what she said made Wang Lei feel more irritated. "But I want to suggest, Mr. Wang Lei, that you avoid hanging out with women out of whim because you might end up landing on someone powerful who's capable of looking into you."

Wang Lei stood up from his chair slowly, Yu Yan, not even fazed or intimidated as she got the folder from his desk, the secretary already smiling then she gave him a small bow, indicating her leave.

"That's all. If there's nothing you wish to ask, Mr. Wang Lei, then I'd take my leave—"

But before Yu Yan could even take a step away from him, Wang Lei had caught her wrist, pulled her harshly towards him.

Yu Yan gasped in surprise as she crashed on his body, her hand sprawled on his chiseled chest as the papers from the folder fell on the floor around them.

Yu Yan had her eyes opened wide. She felt Wang Lei's hand touch the small of her back, the CEO before her looking straight into her eyes with a fiery gaze that seemed to be capable of melting an iceberg.

His touch and gaze sent shivers down her spine but still, she didn't want to show the discomfort she was feeling…

Not wanting to look small and weak in front of their flirtatious boss.

"Mr. Wang Lei," Yu Yan called out, a small smile appearing on her face as she slowly pushed him away, giving space between them. "If there is something that I did or said that irked you, you must tell me and I should correct it right away."

Seeing her unaffected reaction made Wang Lei's eyebrows twitch, the secretary already out of his hold as she elegantly bent down to pick up the papers that fell on the floor.

With Yu Yan not even affected by their close proximity, it made Wang Lei think how is it possible that she acted as if she was not in the arms of a handsome, rich CEO such as him!?

With that thought slightly hurting his pride, he couldn't help but scoff as he unexpectedly had an outburst, Yu Yan only widening her eyes when she heard what he said.

"How are you unfazed by my touch, my gaze—when women usually swoon and beg for more!?"

This time, Yu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Surprising Wang Lei with her sudden display of emotion which showed her beautiful smile along with the harmonious sound of her laugh, the secretary just shook her head as she allowed Wang Lei to see a glimpse of her no one has ever seen before.

"It's because I'm not like other women, Mr. Wang Lei."

Yu Yan then took a few steps toward him, surprising Wang Lei as she grabbed his necktie, their face inches away from kissing as the secretary whispered, her breath fanning his lips as she stared straight into his eyes.

"No one was, is, or will be... brave enough to melt my icy heart."
