Sitting on the couch, he raised his brows, "Now this is a very nice couch."

Closing the main door, Linyang sighed and helplessly made her way towards him.

Crossing her arms in the front, she raised her brows at him. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Well, when someone visits you for the first time, you are supposed to ask him for a glass of water and also make him something to eat because the guest can be hungry." Rubbing his stomach, he sighed, "I am very hungry."

"Hey, don't expect me to make anything for you and—"

Cutting her off, he pouted his lips. "Please, I haven't eaten anything since afternoon and I only ate a slice of bread in the morning."

"Why did you skip your meals?" She frowned.

Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "I didn't feel hungry for the entire day but now when i saw you, I am suddenly feeling very hungry—" Pausing for a while, he looked at her and added, "For food of course."

Suppressing her blush, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and started walking towards the kitchen. Though she wanted him to starve till death, she still decided to make a bowl or fresh noodles for him.

As soon as she left, he took off his coat and folded his sleeves up to his elbow and followed her towards the kitchen.

….

Inside the kitchen.

"Let me help you out."

"There is no nee—" She stopped midway when she saw him standing near the kitchen door with his arms crossed and a little crease on his forehead. Even though he was just casually standing with those perfect biceps and gorgeous face, it was still making her stomach churn and she couldn't help but stare at him like a hungry wolf who was ready to pounce on his prey.

"What? What are you staring at?" He asked before walking towards her.

"Nothing," she denied before taking out some vegetables from the refrigerator.

"I don't know a lot about cooking but I can cut the vegetables for you." Without waiting for her reply, he took the veggies from her hand and made his way towards the counter.

Taking out the chicken from the freezer, she inquired, "You did not tell me what you are doing here and how did you know my apartment code?"

"Well, if I always wondered why do you write 0509 everywhere in your notebook or any paper you see when you are bored so let's just say that I tried my luck and it worked," He chuckled.

"I am making you some noodles and that after that, I don't want you anywhere near me or my apartment."

"Why so?" He frowned.

'Because if I see your handsome face everyday, I might pounce on you,' she thought but of course she was too shy and egoistic to blurt that out. So she chose to say the easiest way to ignore someone. "Because I don't want to be associated with a liar in any way."

"You will not even give me a chance to explain myself or will you?" When she did not say anything, he sighed, "Okay then, you don't have to take all the trouble to make food for me. Though I haven't eaten anything since morning and I am star—"

Cutting him off, she scrunched her brows, "You just told me that you haven't eaten anything since afternoon."

"Morning, afternoon does it really matter? The point is that I am starving but you don't have to take the trouble to make anything for me. I'll just go home, grab a glass of wine and sleep."

"What? You are planning to drink alcohol in an empty stomach? Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g out of your mind?" She snapped.

"Well, I don't really have a choice. I don't know how to cook, I don't want to trouble you either nor any restaurants will be open at his hour so—"

Cutting off, she snapped, "Alright just stay over until I finish preparing this for you."

Taking the frosted chicken from her hand, he placed it on the counter and grabbed her hand. "Linyang please will you listen to me for once? Please."

"Fine." She didn't want to but how on earth was she supposed to ignore those beautiful pairs of eyes which were pleading her to listen to him and his explanation.

Dragging a stool towards them, he made her sit down before kneeling in front of her. "Firstly, I wasn't flirting with her," When she gave him a weird look, he added, "I swear I wasn't."

Crossing her arms the front, she raised her brows, "Uh-huh then what the hell were you talking about? Because she was laughing and you were smiling too."

"I—"

Glaring at him, she snapped, "And don't you dare lie to me again."

Vigorously shaking his head, he explained, "No, I am not lying, we were not flirting. In fact, we were talking about you."

"Oh God were you making fun of me with some random woman?" She scoffed.

"What? No, why on earth would I ever do that?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "She noticed how I was trying to flirt with you and always checking you out so she was telling me how she thought that you were out of league and I shouldn't think that it will be easy to convince you to date me."

"What? Flirting with me? When the hell did you flirt with me?" She asked, she obviously had no idea when he tried to flirt with her. Forget about flirting, they did not even talk properly for so many months.

"I did but you were too engrossed in your work or maybe you hated me too much to understand my heart leaping pick up lines." Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Look I know I acted like an ass earlier and I am very sorry that I lied to you about the whole company thing because my identity is a secret, no one knows that I am the chairman of the company."
