Panic After Passion and the Sprouting of a Promise

Enoch Ken Brian had woken up a long time ago. Although she was speaking in a very low voice, he half - propped his head up and listened for a while. He noticed that she attached great importance to the person on the other end of the phone. A bit jealous and possessive, he immediately put his hand around her waist. She immediately slapped his hand away. Unwilling to be left out and acting a bit mischievously, his hand came up again... Zhuang Bao pushed him away forcefully. It was all his fault! Now she had to explain to her son because of him. It was all his fault!

"Um..." Ken deliberately made a sound.

"... Mom, is there someone next to you?" Weixin was sharp - eared and heard it. Many possibilities quickly flashed through his mind... Hehe! Could it be... "Uh... I'll tell you when I get back," Zhuang Bao was not used to lying to him and didn't know how to do it.

"Is it very important?" Whoa! His mom had something going on!

"I can't finish explaining it in a short time. It's my personal matter," Zhuang Bao's mind started to clear up.

"Got it." That meant Aunt Ziyun couldn't be present, and the person next to his mom... must be a man, and he couldn't be present either. Weixin replied understandingly, "Then I'm going to sleep. Good night, Mom."

"Good night," Zhuang Bao smiled. Her son was very smart, which made her quite at ease.

After hanging up the phone, she prepared to get up and go home. Although she didn't know what time it was, she still wanted to go home and sort things out.

Everything had happened so quickly. She hadn't expected to meet him - uh... Enoch Ken Brian. What a long name. Sigh!

What should she do in the future? She had to have a good discussion with Weixin... especially since she had so easily slept with him. Goodness!

Was she being too reckless?

"Who were you just calling? What are you looking for now?" Ken was very uncomfortable because after she woke up, she had been ignoring him and even deliberately paying no attention to him.

"Where are my clothes? I'm going home," Zhuang Bao found her clothes at the end of the bed. She was a bit grumpy and unceremoniously separated his shirt.

"Hey, that's my shirt, you know."

"It's all your fault! You let me fall asleep and didn't even think of waking me up!" Zhuang Bao put on her clothes forcefully.

"It's very late. Where are you going?" He lay on the bed, wondering how she was going to get back.

"I'm going home," Zhuang Bao put on her jeans in an un - elegant way. "Where's my bag? … Damn it, damn it!"

She remembered that her bag was in the office. How could she have so easily let him coax her into bed! Oh! She really was damned! "What will Ziyun think? When she sees my bag but can't find me..." Zhuang Bao sat down at the end of the bed dejectedly.

"What's wrong with you?" Ken really didn't like her current behavior. She looked regretful. "… Don't tell me there's someone waiting for you at home." Zhuang Bao turned to look at him and suddenly pinched his foot hard.

"It's all your fault!"

"Hey, that hurts! What on earth is wrong with you?" He immediately retracted his foot and grabbed her hand. All her previous gentleness was gone, and she had become very violent.

"I'm going home!" Zhuang Bao broke free from his hand and said seriously.

Ken knew she was serious. He couldn't keep her today. "Wait a minute. I'll drive you home," he rolled out of bed and started putting on his clothes.

"No need. I'll drive myself. Um... Good night!" She nodded awkwardly and walked towards the door.

When the door closed, he suddenly rushed to the elevator entrance.

"Call me when you get home!" He squeezed into the elevator.

"Ah! Are you crazy? What if someone sees you naked!" Zhuang Bao was surprised to see him squeeze in. He was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts, and his appearance was really funny.

"It's so late. Who's going to see me? Besides, this is an exclusive elevator," he followed her to her office and carefully observed her expression. She didn't seem to be as angry as before. She looked calm and at ease, as if nothing had happened between them... Seeing her naturally tidy up the files scattered on the table, he felt a bit flustered - "You..." He walked up to her, turned her chair towards himself, squatted down to face her wide - open eyes, and then didn't know what to say.

"What?" Zhuang Bao blinked. She wasn't as flustered as before.

"Sigh!" Ken sighed. "You really make me at a loss. Usually, after women have sex with us like that, shouldn't they stick to the man? Especially since we haven't seen each other for so many years. Can you pay a little attention to me? Can you stop looking like you want to run away?" He said very, very frustratedly.

Zhuang Bao put her hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, really! I was just panicking for a while. I didn't mean to run away, and... uh... you're very nice, really!" She didn't know how to explain the current situation. His expression at the moment was so much like that of a little boy that she wanted to laugh, but she didn't really laugh stupidly.

"You... Sigh! Don't tell me you think I'm a terrible man? That I often abuse my power to seduce female secretaries?" Ken was very afraid that she would look down on him. Really! He wanted to please her.

"Are you?" Zhuang Bao looked straight into his serious eyes.

"No, I'm not," Ken shook his head seriously to deny it. "Although I don't know why, I really like you! I liked you before, but it was like a sweet and green memory, a bit unrealistic. I remember you left without saying goodbye first. Now I still like you, and it's like an extension, without interruption. And I don't plan to treat this casually. What about you? Do you plan to leave without saying goodbye again?"

"Uh... I think I need this job," Zhuang Bao was very surprised. He - the man in front of her - seemed to be explaining his thoughts to her, and very seriously.

"I've never been so uncertain because I don't know what you're thinking. But even if you had some agreements with others during the years I was away, as long as you're still single... Promise me, give me a chance, okay?"

Ken kissed the palm of her hand. He wasn't very sure that he could win her over. After all, so many years had passed. Back then, she seemed to have someone on her mind. Now she was a bit hesitant, but he was sure that he really wanted her.

"Don't cross me off just because I'm a foreigner. That's not fair."

"I... Alright. You have half Chinese blood, don't you?" She involuntarily agreed to his request, surprised by his seriousness.

"Yes. I'm so glad you remember!" Ken smiled widely. This meant that she hadn't completely forgotten him!
