Little Liar

The moment Liu Xiuying left the villa, Liu Chaoxiao drove in. He climbed out of his car and walked into the villa. He looked around, as if looking for someone. When his deep brown eyes landed on the tall and slender figure coming out of the kitchen, he walked towards him and asked, "Where is she?"

"She? You mean my assistant?"

Liu Chaoxiao rolled his eyes. "Who else?"

"You are too late" Mo Yanlin clicked his tongue twice and walked back into the kitchen. "She just left"

"Why didn't you hold her back?"

He turned his head to look at Liu Chaoxiao and frowned. "For you?"

"Who else?"

"She is tired and she needed to rest for tomorrow's work so I let her go home early today"

Liu Chaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Mo Yanlin's words. Mo Yanlin sounded like he cared about her which was not how he was.

Mo Yanlin turned his head and saw the stunned expression on Liu Chaoxiao's face. He asked, "What's with that expression?"

"Yanlin, when did you start caring about a female?" Liu Chaoxiao walked towards him and placed his hand on Mo Yanlin's shoulder.

"My female assistant" Mo Yanlin corrected him. He slapped Liu Chaoxiao's hand away and walked past him.

Liu Chaoxiao was shocked. When did he start defending a woman? He even added "my"

Liu Chaoxiao turned his head and saw that Mo Yanlin was leaving him. He followed him into his study room. Mo Yanlin rolled his sleeves up, revealing his fair and strong arms as he sat on the chair behind his desk. He turned on the computer and started working, not minding the person staring at him.

When Liu Xiuying got to her apartment, she threw her shoes aside and walked into the house barefooted. She sat on the couch weakly with her arms spread out. She closed her eyes and suddenly, she saw Mo Yanlin's cold and handsome face. 

Her eyes shot opened and her breathing became heavy. She sat up and placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart beating against her chest.

Why did his face appear? I'm sure I am not thinking about him. No, I can't be thinking about my boss. Although he has a very handsome face, he is still scary.

Liu Xiuying stood up and walked into the kitchen to get a cup of water to drink. She heard her phone ring in the living room and frowned. She wondered who would be calling her late at night. She picked up her phone and stared at the unfamiliar unknown number. After a while of debating whether she should answer it or ignore it, she answered the call. "Hello"

"Are you home already?"

Liu Xiuying was already drinking the warm water that she had gotten for herself. The moment she heard the voice, she choked and started coughing. Her hand trembled and the glass cup fell from her hand, causing a loud noise in the silent room.

"Are you okay?" Mo Yanlin, who heard the sound, frowned and asked. "Did you get hurt?"

"I-I… Mr. Mo, good evening. Why did you call?" Liu Xiuying's lips were trembling, but she found some words to say. Her heart was already beating too fast and she felt that she was going to have a heart attack if it didn't stop.

She placed her hand on her chest and clutched her shirt.

Mo Yanlin frowned. A trace of displeasure flashing passed his dark eyes. "Can't I call my employee?" His voice was so deep and dark that it made Liu Xiuying flinch.

Why on Earth is this man so scary? His voice and face is scary.

"No, no, I didn't mean that. You can call me anytime you want"

"I just wanted to ask if you are already at home" Mo Yanlin said in a low voice.

"Yes, yes" Liu Xiuying answered, wondering if that was how he treated all his employees.

If that was how he did, then Mo Yanlin wouldn't be that cold at all.

"Mm, you should go to bed now. Tomorrow morning, you should get here early and pick me up. Don't be late"

He said those words and then, the call got disconnected.

Liu Xiuying stood in the living room, her phone pressed against her ear with her eyes open wide in disbelief.

Did I hear something wrong?

Pick him up tomorrow?

Don't be late?

What on Earth is happening to me?!

Am I going to be his driver from today on?

Liu Xiuying stared at her phone, still in shock.

It was after half a minute that she blinked and sighed. She lowered her head to look at the mess she had created and sighed again, this time loudly.

She turned to grab a broom and a cleaning mop to clean the broken glass cup. After she had done that, she grabbed her phone and walked into her bedroom, shutting the door behind her.

The rest of her night went so so.

The next morning.

Liu Xiuying had set an alarm the last night before she slept and woke up exactly at 6am. When she recalled his words, "Don't be late", she jumped up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.

While she was brushing her teeth, the words, "Don't be late" rang in her head again. Liu Xiuying reached out to tug at her already messy hair and frowned.

At 7am sharp, she arrived at Maybay Villa. She entered the villa and saw Mo Yanlin coming down the stairs. The first thing that came into her mind was his cold voice, "Don't be late" 

She trembled slightly, feeling cold all of a sudden. She wrapped her arms around her body, rubbing her palm against her arm, making her feel warm a little.

"Mr. Mo, good morning"

Mo Yanlin raised his head, his gaze landed on the young lady right in front of him. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun, making her look more matured and beautiful. Unlike yesterday, when she was putting on a short skirt, she was wearing long pants that covered her long legs.

Even at that, she still looked beautiful.

His lips slightly curled up. "Morning, miss Liu" 

And then he walked out.

"Huh?" Liu Xiuying tilted her head, frowning.

Why is he always cold?

"Miss Liu!" Mo Yanlin's deep and magnetic voice sounded from outside.

"Yes, I'm coming Mr. Mo" Liu Xiuying hurriedly grabbed the car's key at the side and jogged out of the villa.

On their way, Liu Xiuying got a call from her mom. "Mom… You are at my apartment now? I went out with a friend…"

Mo Yanlin who was at the back seat heard this and opened his eyes, staring at the young lady in the driver's seat.

A friend?

This little liar!

"I'm going to come back late at night. You don't have to cook dinner for me. I love you"

Liu Xiuying hurriedly ended the call, scared that her mother would ask her questions. When she put her phone aside, she felt embarrassed.

She had just told a lie that she went out with her friend and she was sure Mo Yanlin heard her. She didn't want to ruin her image in front of her boss, but she had to tell that lie in order to avoid other interrogations.

She raised her eyes to look at the rearview mirror and then she saw Mo Yanlin looking at her. She hurriedly looked away and she gulped.

So scary!
