The day Song Mo parachuted into the company as marketing director, everyone was waiting to see him and Ye Xiaoran, the East China region's top salesperson, clash like fire and water.
Ye Xiaoran really did hate Song Mo. He hated the nitpicking emails Song sent at two in the morning, hated how Song's eyes always lingered on him during meetings, and hated even more that Song knew when he'd run out of his stomach medicine.
Until the company retreat, when Song Mo pinned Ye Xiaoran against the mirror in the karaoke bar restroom and said hoarsely, “Yesterday you told the whole company you hated me, and today you made me honey water in the break room? Ye Xiaoran, you have a pretty unusual way of hating someone.”
Ye Xiaoran turned his head away, the tips of his ears bright red. “Mr. Song, we're... not right for each other.”
Song Mo laughed in exasperation. He turned Ye's chin and made him look at their reflections pressed together in the mirror. “Not right for each other? Then why are you hiding?”
From trading barbs to a charged push and pull, from workplace rivals to lovers in bed, Ye Xiaoran finally admitted that hating Song Mo was just too hard.
