Iris’ face burned in embarrassment, especially in front of her own employees. She forced herself to calm down. She would not lose control in front of her own people.
Besides, it was only a kiss, she reasoned to herself. Yes, it was only a kiss. No need to feel embarrassed. She nodded.
Jin Liwei looked in amusement at his baby girl’s myriad facial reactions before returning to her cool and calm expression.
"What are your plans for today? Anything else you need to do after this Zumba class?" he asked her.
She tilted her head to the side. "No. I was supposed to have work scheduled for today, but my manager moved it tomorrow instead."
"Good."
"How about you? Do you have plans for today?"
"Yeah. I’m taking my girlfriend out on a date."
Girlfriend?
Her vision turned red and her hands closed into tight fists. With flashing eyes, she hissed at him. "What did you say?"
"Hm?" Confused at her sudden fury, he asked warily, "What’s wrong?"
She totally lost her usual composure. She was so angry that she found it hard to breathe. Never in her two lives had she lost her temper like this.
She grabbed his collar and bared her teeth at him. "You say I’m your lover and you did all those things to me! And now you’re saying you have a girlfriend?! You bastard! What do you take me for?! Your f*ck buddy?!"
Dom gasped, eyes and mouth wide open in shock. Yi Mei clutched at her chest and almost stumbled back but caught herself. The cook supported her. The two older women shot murderous looks at Jin Liwei. The others backed away, staying as quiet as possible, not even daring to breathe too much.
Jin Liwei was taken aback, aghast at her words. "You...what are you saying?!"
"Get out! I don’t want to see you ever again!"
Iris roughly pushed her chair back and jumped off angrily, intending to leave, but he caught her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Baby girl, calm down. Let me explain, okay?" He tightened his arms.
"Explain what?! Let go, you bastard! Don’t touch me!"
Her emotions were all over the place. She felt so furious that tears threatened to fall from her eyes. These negative emotions frightened her. What was happening to her?
"Listen to me, baby. You’re misunderstanding me."
"What misunderstanding?! Go back to your girlfriend! You’re not welcome here anymore!"
Jin Liwei couldn’t hold it in anymore. He laughed loudly.
"Why are you laughing?!" She became even more enraged. She wanted to claw his face off.
"Sorry, baby." He struggled, trying to stop laughing. "I just find it so funny that you’re being jealous of yourself."
She stopped. "What?"
"When I said girlfriend, of course I was referring to you. Who else?"
