Chapter 15

  Cassey frowned, looked for a long time through the doorway, then Shook her head and shrugged. "I guess she’s chanting a curse? I mean, look at her, if there’s anyone who could be a real vampire, that’s her right? Maybe she’s cursing her husband..."   "You’ve read too many novels, girl. She’s calculating how much property she can get if she divorces the president."   Cassey looked at him like he was an idiot.   "Can our president's property even be calculated?"   "I mean, the president is rich not just here but all over the world, I doubt we can calculate how much she’ll be getting. Even with a computer, it’ll probably take a long time.   Someone said bitterly, "I don't know what her deal is. Our president is so damn hot. She actually wants to get a divorce from him. Other women would probably sell their parents if that would buy them a night with him."   Cassey nodded in agreement.   "Maybe she’s playing hard to get? Maybe they had a prenup? Maybe she wants a bigger share than she’s been given? I think she's just planning how to get a bigger divorce settlement later."   "Well, I think so too. I bet five bucks, she will smash the computer and threaten the president today."   "I bet ten, she’s going to burn the files."   "Then I'll bet on twenty, she will try to kill him. See, she brought him food? Maybe she’s come here to poison him! Such a cruel woman! She really earned her nickname!”   While everyone was busy imagining the worst, there was a "ding" behind them.   Everyone was shocked, and rushed back to their desks at a rocket-like speed to sit down.   When Steve Gu got out of the elevator, all he he saw was that everyone was busy with their work.   He walked into the office blankly.   ...   In the office, Antoinette was rehearsing what she was going to say to Steve when he got back.   After all, she had pushed him away, and now she had to make it up to him.   While practicing, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and Steve's tall figure appeared at the door.   Her eyes lit up, "Husband, you’re back!"   She immediately ran over to him.   Antoinette happily leaped into Steve's arms, and the secretaries who had been watching from outside the door were shocked,   What's going on?   Cruella had just hugged the president.   Someone said in disbelief, "Quickly, pinch me to see if I am dreaming."   The colleague behind him squeezed him hard.   He groaned in pain, and quickly covered his mouth.   Think about the strange things that Antoinette Yun had done before. She wouldn't really poison the president just to end their marriage, right?   Everyone panicked, but Cassey Yu had a calm expression.   She suddenly remembered what had happened at the birthday banquet before. Her head was racing.   Could it be...maybe she had a sex change operation?   Antoinette Yun still hadn’t realized how shocked everyone is at how much she’d changed.   She hung on to Steve Gu like a koala, and said softly, "Husband! I just saw you this morning but it feels so long. I miss you so much, do you miss me?"   Steve's eyes darkened.   Steve Gu put her down to sit on the sofa.   "I passed by a dessert shop today. Their almond pastry is super delicious. Do you want to try it?"   As she said, she opened the package like offering a treasure, pinched a small piece of pastry and handed it to his mouth.   He looked at the pastry in front of him. The girl's fingers were white and tender, and it looked even more delicious than the pastry.   He nodded and she placed a piece in his mouth.   Antoinette Yun looked at him nervously.   This bakery was her favorite, but she didn't know if Steve Gu would like it.   He swallowed the food under her gaze and nodded.   "Delicious."   "Really?"   "Ok."   Antoinette Yun was pleased that he liked it, and fed him some more.   She didn't know if it was intentional or not. Several times, his lips accidentally brushed against her finger.   The feel of his soft, moist lips made Antoinette's ears slightly red, but she did not shy away from it, even if her heartbeat was speeding up.   Suddenly, Steve's phone rang.   He took the call and said a few words, his eyebrows furrowed.   Quickly, Antoinette made herself scarce. "Don't worry about me, I’ll wait here"   Steve glanced at her, took out his iPad and put on a website named “The Scene.” It was a mix of edgy content, celebrity interviews and gossip. Basically a teen magazine masquerading as a music website for adults.   In her other timeline, Steve knew that Antoinette liked to occupy herself reading this.   Antoinette didn't refuse, but after a while, she was bored. It wasn’t just that she already knew what was in there, including the scandal of Regine Lin, which never happened in the other timeline.   She was truly tired of reading these things.   Because the Yun family paid a huge sum to hush it up, and because Regine Lin had been out of show business for many years, the news died down after two days.   Antoinette Yun was so bored, she couldn’t even bother to read the gossip about her stepmother. She put the iPad aside and looked at Steve sitting in front of the computer, looking at the screen, then scribbling on the document in his hand.   He looked serious.   Antoinette looked at him with her hand on her chin.   Why was her husband so handsome now?   She looked at his eyebrows, his eyes, his nose, and his ears. Why did she never notice that he looked truly divine?   Especially his lips. She had to stop herself from kissing him then and there!   Antoinette’s heart raced at the mental image of him kissing her, and her body shivered.
