C15 Feeling Wronged

"Do all of you want to get fired?" Amidst the commotion, a threateningly low voice could be heard behind the crowd.

Hearing the voice, one of the workers broke into a cold sweat before turning around to meet Lu Fengting's dark gaze. "Ah! Mr. Lu!" The worker cried out in alarm before making a dash for his own office.

"Mr. Lu!"

The crowd immediately dispersed at the very mention of the man's name—his name alone was enough to strike fear in their hearts. They quickly returned to their workplace within seconds. Instantaneously, the corridor became deserted except for the three.

At the sight of the two women fighting, Lu Fengting exhaled shakily while trying to maintain his cool exposure. His thick brows were tightly knitted.

This woman... was really good at causing trouble!

"Stop!"

Lu Fengting shouted and the two of them immediately halted. Both women had a guilty look on their faces as they looked at Lu Fengting.

However, Xia Yun was still dissatisfied. Noticing that Ann Keer was preoccupied with Lu Fengting, she quickly took the opportunity to kick Ann Keer square in the stomach. The sheer force of her kick knocked Ann Keer off her feet as she landed in a loud heap on the ground.

She had been tricked! Ann Keer was beyond furious, desperate to get back at Xia Yun. She had just started to scramble up and smack Xia Yun. Seeing this, Lu Fengting quickly intervened, stepping in between the two women and grabbed Ann Keer's flailing hands. "Ann Keer, stop!"

Ann Keer's flailing hands were immediately bound in a tight grip. Still wanting to have the last say, she tilted her head and put on a pitiful look for Lu Fengting. "Mr. Lu!" She exclaimed in surprise. Out of all people, she had expected him to defend her!

"Come into the office now!" Lu Fengting released his grip on her arms and walked straight into the CEO's office without sparing a glance at either woman.

"But... But..." Ann Keer was speechless as she pointed at Xia Yun before glancing at Lu Fengting. This was completely unacceptable! She had to teach Xia Yun a lesson!

"Aren't you embarrassed enough?" Lu Fengting finally glanced at her in disapproval before entering the office. "If you don't want to come in, go back to your own office."

With Lu Fengting around, Ann Keer knew she had no choice but to listen to him. Unable to do anything, she could only give one last fierce glare at Xia Yun before entering the CEO's office.

Reeling from the shock of today's events, Xia Yun slowly sat back on the chair again. Just then, her cheekbone started throbbing in pain. She swiped her index finger across her cheek and looked at it to find crimson blood staining her finger.

Xia Yun quickly dug into the pocket of her pants and started shaking it inside out. Unfortunately, she hadn't remembered to bring any tissue paper with her. The only thing she could do was to wipe the blood off with the back of her hand.

At the sight of the blood staining the back of her hand, Xia Yun felt a wave of humiliation wash through her, feeling extremely wronged. What had she done wrong? Why did they do this to her?

Tears welled up in her eyes as she was overcome with the feeling of helplessness.

"Wipe it."

Just then, a white tissue was visible in her blurred field of vision. She lifted her head to see the female secretary from earlier.

"Thank you." Xia Yun said softly before lowering her head. She was too embarrassed to make eye contact with the woman— she didn't even need a mirror to know how embarrassing she looked like right now.

"Here you go. Now, take these too."

The secretary handed over a make-up mirror and a small comb. Before Xia Yun could thank her, she quickly intervened, "You are welcome. Just return it to me after you use it." With that, she returned to her office.

Touched by the woman's kindness, Xia Yun pursed her lips in silence and wiped her wound with the tissue.

In the CEO's office.

"Fengting, who is that little slut? Look, she scratched my hand so hard that it broke! " Ann Keer had been fervently complaining and exaggerating her injuries the very moment she entered the room. As she spoke, she stretched her hand in front of Lu Fengting, hoping to garner his sympathy. She was aggrieved at the outcome of the fight — Xia Yun had managed to have the last laugh!

From his expression alone, it was obvious that Lu Fengting didn't care about Ann Keer at all. Still, he opened the drawer and threw a Band-aid on the table. "Put this on yourself."

Ann Keer frowned slightly at his lack of response and asked, "Fengting, don't you want to teach that little slut a lesson?"

Lu Fengting ignored the woman's question and fixed his dark orbs on the computer. Seeing his reaction, Ann Keer's curiosity was piqued.

"Who is this woman?" Ann Keer already had her suspicions concerning Xia Yun and Lu Fengting's relationship. Not only was she beautiful, she was also intelligent and sharp. From the beginning, she had already noticed Lu Fengting's uncharacteristically calm attitude.

Lu Fengting ignored her once again. Instead, he took out an exquisite box and said simply, "Put it on. "

Realizing that she couldn't get Lu Fengting to open up, Ann Keer tucked her suspicions back into a corner of her mind. She was more preoccupied with the beautiful box in front of her — what had he given her? Ann Keer unwrapped the box to reveal a dress which she gently pulled out. "Fengting..."Ann Keer gasped at the dress and couldn't help but be stunned. "Fengting, isn't this Mike Jones's..."

"Summer of Italy. "

Lu Fengting confirmed.

Ann Keer sucked in a deep breath in awe without realizing. This was the final design of Michael Jones three years ago, the Summer of Italy— right in front of her.
