With her back to him, she drew her feet from beneath the covers and gave him a kick.
Her face flushed. “You're so childish. Who would guess the chairman of Shanshui Group was like this in private? Do your employees know?”
Note: A little sweet, a little bitter, with a low-key plot and a realistic feel.
