Something heavy slammed onto the table, followed by the sound of high heels, and then the office door swung open.
"Finance! Double deductions for Lu Xiaofan being late today! Make a note of it!"
Ma Shishi shouted as she entered, then locked the door behind her.
"Sit!" Ma Shishi looked at me with a half-smile.
"I... I don't dare..."
"Sit or don't sit!" Ma Shishi said, exhausted from her scolding, leaning back in the boss's chair and crossing her legs.
"Come here!"
"Oh."
Suddenly, she placed her legs on the table, her black stockings taut and elongated. "Give me a massage."
"Huh?" I was taken aback; I wasn't familiar with this kind of request.
"Massage my legs, can't you understand?"
"I... I only sell my skills, not my body," I replied nervously.
In truth, I wasn't nervous at all; after all, I had already rehearsed in the elevator, and that night she had clearly taken the initiative—she was the one who crossed the line!
"Pfft..." Ma Shishi burst out laughing, spilling tea all over her pants.
It splashed onto my pants as well.
"Did your Xiao Lili not argue with you?" She became serious, staring directly at me.
"We did argue, but not about that," I admitted honestly. Strangely enough, we hadn't fought about what happened on our wedding night; thinking back on it now felt odd to me.
"What could be more important than entering the wrong bridal chamber? Your wife is quite forgiving..."
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
"A small matter?" Ma Shishi frowned slightly, as if considering something before speaking again. "Let me remind you, that night, Jiao Li left with someone smiling."
"What? That's impossible!"
This couldn't be true...
Jiao Li seemed so innocent and fragile; she never caused trouble and only had eyes for me. How could she do something to betray me?
That day when I went to pick her up, she seemed so helpless. How could she possibly leave with Cui Xiangjun and the others, smiling while I was drunkenly left behind?
"You’re lying! You were clearly drunk that day. How could you have seen anything?"
"Oh right, I was drunk. Maybe I saw it in a dream," she replied with a slight smirk, her demeanor nonchalant.
The more she acted this way, the more anxious I felt.
I lay on my bed, remembering how Jiao Li had been pulled away by those classmates, leaving only Ma Shishi in my room...
That scene lingered in my mind.
"Wait a minute, you weren’t drunk? Then why didn’t you stop them?"
"Who said I was drunk?"
Ma Shishi rubbed her temples.
She always pressed her temples before telling a lie; after all these years of working together, I knew her habits all too well.
"Boss, I need to take a leave!"
This was my last resort.
"Hmm? For how many days?"
Ma Shishi straightened up, arms crossed over her chest, exuding an air of authority.
"Ten days for my honeymoon."
"The company is so busy; if you take leave, I’ll be swamped! No way I'm granting that."
"According to Article 51 of the Labor Law..."
"Stop! Don’t recite it. If you’re not drunk, then what’s your problem? Ask me quickly!"
Ma Shishi nearly flipped the table.
"Why didn’t you stop them?"
"Come on! If she was being forced, I would definitely call the police! They were both willing participants; how could I intervene? I'm not Superman!"
"Alright, second question: if you weren’t drunk, why did you sleep with me?"
Ma Shishi rolled her eyes as I looked up and whistled at the chandelier.
"I’m happy to!"
In truth, I was quite pleased as well.
I had been with her since the company opened, working alongside her for these past few years.
When I was with Jiao Li, I always made concessions and tolerated her, but with Ma Shishi, we were more like partners who could talk about anything.
Except for the need to maintain a superior-subordinate relationship at work.
Ma Shishi was two years younger than me, young, beautiful, and wealthy. She was assertive during negotiations but relied on me for business matters.
This gradually led me to entertain some inappropriate thoughts.
But after all, she was my boss, so I dared not think too much about it.
Then Jiao Li appeared, and Ma Shishi began to grow distant with me.
"The third question..."
"Are you done? Don’t push your luck!"
Ma Shishi had already picked up her folder, ready to throw it at me in the next moment.
