once everyone saw that he tour the envelop, they opened their mouth in shock and was about to say something but they all swallowed what they were about to say as they look at the dark expression of the CEO.
they couldn't help but shiver after what he said, did he just say his girlfriend, are we going to loose our job today?? they started looking at Mo Shira with pleading eyes.
Yue Ling: "Why did you that??"
She asked while pouting her lips, but Mo Shira didn't seem to mind her at all.
Mo Shira: "What gave you the right to talk to my girlfriend like that Jessica Wilson??"
He fixed his gaze on where Jessica was sitting. Jessica became afraid after seeing him glaring at her with his angry face, and the sudden declaration he just said.
(Jessica thought: "He's supposed to be on my side! Our families are close, and I thought he liked me! Why is he acting like this?")
Mo Shira: "I don't mind whether your father is there or not, I want to start a relationship with Yue Ling and I don't want anyone coming between them."
Jessica shivered at his question and didn't know how to answer. She thought he was going to side with her because of the relationship her father and his grandfather share, but she doesn't know he was going to ask her such a question.
Yue Ling was watching the scene unfold, a hint of a smile on her face.
Here is a rewritten version of the conversation:
Jessica: (thinking) "Oh no, the floor should open up and swallow me whole. How can I face this shame? Everyone thinks I'm going to be Mo Shira's wife, and now they know I've been lying. And what about those I've been bullying, using my fake engagement as an excuse? They'll devour me whole."
Hu Wuting: (thinking) "Ha! Boss has finally realized he's in love with Yue Ling. Impressive, boss, impressive." He looked at Yue Ling with newfound admiration, amazed that she had melted Mo Shira's stone-cold heart.
Yue Ling: (approaching Mo Shira, angry) "What did you just say?!"
Mo Shira: (ignoring Yue Ling, scolding Jessica) "Jessica, stop lying about us being a couple. We're not compatible, and I'll never marry you. I respect your father, that's why I didn't correct you earlier. But now that my girlfriend, Yue Ling, is here, I ask that you stop pretending to be my fiancée. It may hurt her."
Yue Ling: (thinking) "Why is he saying I'm his girlfriend? Is he trying to get back at Jessica?"
Mo Shira: (looking at Yue Ling) "Xiao Ling, don't be upset by what they said earlier. I promised to discuss our marriage with Grandpa Mo. Please forgive me for revealing our secret, but there's no need to hide it anymore."
Yue Ling's expression changed from anger to shock, her mind racing with the implications of Mo Shira's words.
Mo Shira: "Everyone, I hope you understand. Yue Ling is my girlfriend, and I expect you all to treat her with respect. If I hear any complaints from her, you'll have yourselves to blame. She's not just any ordinary employee, she's the woman I care about, and I won't let anyone hurt her."
He took Yue Ling's wrist and led her to his office, leaving the stunned room behind.
Hu Wuting: "Meeting adjourned until further notice. Please, everyone, return to work. We'll discuss this further later."
As the three of them left, the room erupted in murmurs and glares directed at Jessica. Her father, Mr. Wilson, tried to comfort her, but she remained still, her eyes blazing with anger and humiliation.
Mr. Wilson: "Calm down, my child. Everything will be fine. Mo Shira's just trying to protect his girlfriend. He didn't mean to embarrass you."
Jessica: "How can you say that?! Mo Shira humiliated me in front of everyone, all for that...that...Yue Ling! He thinks he's so much better than me just because he's the CEO? Well, I'll show him. I'll make sure he regrets the day he ever crossed me."
Mr. Wilson: "Don't worry, I'll handle it. I'll visit Grandpa Mo this week to discuss your marriage, and as for Yue Ling...well, she's just a fleeting interest. He'll discard her like he does all the others. Trust me, I'll ensure you marry him, and you'll be the one in control, not her."
Jessica's face lit up with a mixture of anger, determination, and a hint of sinister intent.
Jessica: "I trust you completely, Father. And don't worry, I'll make Yue Ling pay for this embarrassment. Mark my words. She thinks she's so special, but I'll show her what it means to cross me. I'll destroy her, and Mo Shira will regret the day he ever chose her over me."
She laughed menacingly, her eyes gleaming with a vengeful spark, leaving her father to wonder what he had just unleashed,
