Misunderstanding
"Make things clear, Zichen!" Shi Lian yells. The mood of talking business is gone. She is angry, confused, and hurt by his behavior. She is still thinking about what she had done to make him angry but she couldn't think of any reason.
"Do you like me?" he mumbles but Shi Lian heard it. 'why would he ask such a question in a situation like this?' she ponders and frowns. Her frustration grows when he does not answer her.
"What do you say?" she asks, pretending she didn't hear what he mumbled. He got up where he was sitting and walks to her. He holds her arms and pulls her closer, as a result, she lands on his hard chest. She looks up to meet his eyes and scowls, "What is your issue?"
"Do you like me? he asks again, tipping her chin up as his eyes bore into hers. Fire ignites, as butterflies summersault in her stomach. She can feel her cheeks getting warm and her heart is beating like crazy. This man has sure control over her.
