Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 58
Advertisement
What the old man didn't know was the fact that everything that he knew about Sera was the things that Chris allowed him to know. When Sera heard this, she couldn't help but laugh at Chris. "Schemer." Just to get what he wanted, he manipulated the old man into naming her as the heir, thinking that she would run away and sell her shares.
But running away wouldn't really take care of her problems. Well, to be fair, running away was her go-to.
Sera actually likened herself to a villain who failed and got traumatized by her dark past. Tired and battered, running away is her best way to cope when the bad turns worse. So why did she agree to marry him?
Isn't it better to just run away?
It was out of impulse! And she didn't know that he manipulated the old man into announcing her as the heir! Ah, now that she was thinking about it, she felt so dumb! Wasn't this just like when she saw him in that bar?
Why was she doing a lot of illogical things when this man is around?
"Ummm… I need to say something."
"Nope." Chris beamed at her. "You can't change your mind."
"But— "
"Nope." He shook his head and leaned towards her. Chris was sitting next to her in front of her computer. His action made her leaned back. She tried to push her chair away from him, but failed. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"What?"
"Just answer my question."
"No."
"Same. Meaning… love is not something that appeared out of nowhere. It gradually grows. Like a plant."
"So… what are you trying to say?" she asked.
"You don't understand?"
"No." What the hell? Love is like a plant? She read that quote somewhere before. But what was his point? This man really loves to talk too much.

"I thought the concept is simple? It turns out you are incredibly dense when it comes to these things." He shook his head in dismay.
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"Well… did you have a boyfriend before?"
"I — Uh — No. Not exactly. "Cross is not exactly her boyfriend and that man… Zhang Ying's fiance is obviously not her lover too.
"This explains it." It was as if the man just had an aha moment. He leaned back and chuckled. "This is why you are a bit dense."
"I'm not stupid."
"When it comes to emotion, you are stupid."
She frowned. Are they going to start arguing about random things again? She ignored him and shifted her gaze back to her computer. "Why are you even here? Can't you see that I'm busy?" she asked. "I would like to ask you to leave, this stupid woman needed to work hard to earn money."
"Ah, you are not only dense, but you are also petty! No wonder you didn't have a boyfriend before."
"What the hell? Can you just stop…" Sera knew that when she was around this guy, she would lose all the reasoning that she has. Moreover, she also had the tendency to become easily irritated. The action made her wonder why she was acting so comfortable towards him. Normally, she wasn't the type that would show any emotion to other people. For some reason, a part of her felt this familiarity that is preventing her from acting indifferent around him.
"Stop what?"
"Stop disturbing me. I am busy." The man knows how and when to push her buttons! She hated it. "And why are you always following me around anyway? You are a CEO. I thought CEOs are busy all the time."

"You have a huge misconception about me. I don't work for money anymore. I let the money work for me."
How arrogant.
He continued, "I would rather work hard for you than work hard for money."
Cringe.
Goosebumps skittered all over her skin.
"You're blushing," he chuckled.
Sera chose to ignore him. Talking to this man is just pointless.
"Anyway, my point is. You are not allowed to change your mind anymore. You will meet my uncle when we go back to Pane City. He is the only living relative I have left. He is a bit quirky and worked as a fortune-teller. He likes to scam people. He would probably ask you why you would agree to marry me."
What a peculiar family, she thought inwardly.
"Then, he would tell you everything that I am not good at. You can tell him I am good in bed and that would shut him up.
Gross! Sera maintained her silence.
"The documents will arrive tomorrow, Lawyer Liu will personally show up for us. Just relax, I won't devour you… at least not until you sign the documents."
*BANG!*
Sera slammed her hand on the table. So noisy. This was the first time that she met someone who just… talks nonstop! "I'm going to get water." Just hearing him talk nonstop is actually hurting her head!
With that, she stood up and walked towards the door, hoping that he wouldn't follow her out.
"You know that I am just trying to make you relax… right?"
Sera froze when she heard his voice behind her. She didn't notice him move nor hear his chair sound when he stood.
"I know." But noise doesn't relax her.
"And?"
She flinched when she felt his hand on her shoulders.
"Relax…" he added.
He started massaging her shoulder, his hand moving towards the nape of her neck. But the close proximity is really making her tense. How could she relax when she could feel his erection against her back?
"I should… I need water." She said. And a shower. Yep, she would probably need a cold, long shower too. She gulped when she realized how her body was reacting to his.
The attraction was too strong. It wasn't that awkward attraction that a young girl could feel towards her teenage crush. The attraction between them felt casual. It was as if they have known each other for so long.
Suddenly, he moved forward, pressing his hot manhood against her back. "I need a shower." He mumbled. "Would you like to join me?"
