“Sir, the plane is about to land. Please fasten your seatbelt.” The flight attendant's melodious voice floated over, but the man in the aisle remained unmoved.
The flight attendant gently nudged him, and only then did he pull off his eye mask, glaring at her with a sullen expression.
Being disturbed from sleep felt terrible, especially since he hadn’t slept for two consecutive days! Two whole days!
Rofeide recalled the harrowing experiences of the past few days and nearly let slip a few sharp words to this smiling flight attendant.
The damn author had fled to England to avoid submitting his work, leaving him to handle the overseas assignments. But that wasn't even the main issue; his exhausted body had to bring gifts back for that heartless bunch in the Editorial Department. It was simply intolerable!
He was always cold-hearted and felt no guilt about rejecting that group of jerks. What was infuriating was that his “cruelty” paled in comparison to that of the Chief Editor.
After exchanging glares with the Chief Editor for several minutes, Rofeide was provoked by the contemptuous smile that seemed to say, “If you can’t even handle this small matter, then I won’t force you.”
After all, he was still young and full of vigor. Later on, Rofeide regretted his actions; why had he bothered to argue with that cold-hearted guy?
It left him exhausted from gathering materials and carrying a large bag of scones back home. He must have hit his head somewhere!
“Miss, here’s the coffee you requested.” The cheerful flight attendant ignored Rofeide’s icy demeanor and directed her smile at the girl beside him who was still half-asleep.
“Um, thank you…” The girl yawned, her mouth forming a diamond shape as she reached out for the coffee cup. Just as Rofeide was trying to recognize her familiar voice, he was jolted awake by the sudden splash of hot coffee on his head. He shouted, “Shit!” The girl who had been startled awake glared back at him with wide eyes.
“It’s you?!” They both exclaimed in surprise.
The girl followed Rofeide, muttering under her breath. She had already apologized for spilling the coffee, yet this man, with a temper as small as an ant's, refused to appreciate her good intentions. Hmph, what a barbarian!
"Stop bothering me. Can't you understand human language?" His cold, frosty words shot back without mercy.
"Hey, there's a limit to being self-important! Who's bothering you? Just say it clearly..." The sharp-tongued girl found herself pressed against the wall by a powerful force. A face that was expressionless, even chillingly handsome, suddenly appeared before her, and his thin lips halted mere inches from her own.
"Is that so, Miss Jing?" His cool, magnetic voice completely unraveled Jing Tingting's resolve. Her cheeks flushed red, leaving her unable to retort. "Then why are you still following me?"
Indeed, she was clinging to him; she couldn't quite explain why. Perhaps it was because Rofeide was the first man who made her feel competitive.
She had met Rofeide six months ago at a grand business banquet.
When her father led her toward a group of real estate elites, she encountered a man who captured her gaze like no other.
He possessed an innate arrogance that made it impossible for her to look away, and every time she focused on him, she received nothing but indifference in return. It was only later that she learned this man was the very Rofeide who was to be betrothed to her.
But—
This man was insufferable. From the beginning of the banquet until the end, he had only uttered two words to her: "Shut up." He never spoke again. Every glance he cast seemed to convey a warning: "Don't even think about using your family connections to cling to me."
Why should he?! Just because he was the young master of the Yuan Family? He thought that by adopting a fancy Western name he could elevate himself above local aristocrats and look down on her, the daughter of the Jing Family?
Fine, he was indeed of mixed British and Chinese heritage; she could accept that! But she was also the cherished daughter of Jing Zheng, a leading figure in real estate. Others sought to please her; how could he dismiss her so easily? This humiliation was simply too hard to swallow! But…
Jing Tingting tugged at Rofeide's arm and exclaimed, "I don’t want to owe you a favor. Come with me, and I’ll buy you a new outfit!"
"Get off! I'm in a hurry!" An irritated Rofeide pushed her away, his mind consumed with the urgency of getting back to the publishing house to submit his manuscript.
The author had already delayed long enough to provoke public outrage, and if his holdup caused any issues with the printing schedule, he would undoubtedly face another round of disdain from the Chief Editor.
Just the thought of that cold-blooded guy's smirk made his stomach churn.
Before Jing Tingting could get back on her feet after being pushed down, Rofeide had already fled.
Watching the taxi drive away, the girl was not discouraged by being brushed off; instead, a wicked smile crept onto her lips.
"Trying to shake me off? It’s not that simple, because..."
