Chapter 830 Trinity of Goddesses
"T-thank you for dropping me off," Long Jinjing said in a shy tone.
Lu Zihao nodded. "Shun will call you later today to ask what time he'll pick you up after work." Then when he saw her open her mouth, he said, "No arguments, Jinjing. This matter has already been decided."
"Fine." She sighed before turning her body towards him. "Nikolai."
"Hm?"
"Uhm…" She paused and bit her lip.
"If you want to tell me something, just say it."
She reached over and touched his arm. "Are you…really alright now?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Of course, I'm alright. Why shouldn't I be? I enjoyed fucking my girlfriend last night and I can't wait to do it again after I return tomorrow. I'm feeling more than alright right now."
Her face once again turned crimson but she forced herself to look serious. Her hand on his arm also tightened. "Remember last night…something happened to you. Like a seizure or something…"
His expression hardened. "You should forget about that. It's nothing."
"But—"
"Leave it, Jinjing. I already told you I'm fine."
She released a shaky breath and nodded. "Okay, if you say so." Then she withdrew her hand and unbuckled her seat belt. "I'm sorry if I sound like I'm prying too much about your matters. That's n-not my intention at all. I won't do it again. I was just worried about you…so uhm…never mind. I'll go now."
"Hey."
She moved to open her door but he pulled her back.
"Hey," he repeated while forcing her to look at him.
"Y-yes?" She couldn't meet his eyes.
He released a heavy sigh. "What happened last night, I really don't want to talk about it."
Her lips curved into a wry smile. "I can tell. Don't worry. I won't ask you about it anymore."
"Look at me," he said in a commanding tone.
She looked at him on instinct.
"Stop overthinking my words in that pretty head of yours," he told her.
She nodded. "Don't worry, Nikolai. I remember your terms in our agreement. I'll do my best not to nag or annoy you by asking too many questions."
He released another heavy sigh but still nodded. "I'll be back tomorrow."
"Okay. Bye, Nikolai. Have a safe trip."
"Thanks."
She tried to open the door but he stopped her again. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"You're not going to kiss your boyfriend goodbye?" he asked. His tone was teasing but his expression looked serious.
Although the atmosphere still felt awkward from their previous conversation, a giggle managed to escape from her lips at his question. She gave a shy smile at him before leaning forward. Her lips pressed lightly on his lips. Then she withdrew.
"That's it?" His tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
Without waiting for her reply, he grabbed her by the nape and leaned forward before his open mouth gave her a deep, wet and hungry kiss.
Her hands curled on his shirt as she closed her eyes and moaned. His tongue was relentless, almost brutal, and yet she savoured it. When the kiss ended, her lips glistened and looked a little red and swollen.
"I'll call you tonight," he told her in a husky voice.
"Okay," she breathed.
He kissed her again, a firm and lingering peck on the lips this time. Then he nuzzled her ear and whispered directly to it, "Rest your body as much as you can tonight because when I'm back tomorrow, I'll start showing you how hard I can really fuck you."
A delicious shiver went up her spine. She swallowed hard.
They were interrupted by a knock on Long Jinjing's side window. It was one of the company's security guards wondering why this unfamiliar vehicle wasn't moving after stopping right in front of the entrance. People outside couldn't clearly see inside the car because of the tinted windows. They didn't know that their CFO was inside making out with a man.
"Go inside now," Lu Zihao told her.
She nodded. "Bye."
"Bye, Jinjing."
This time, he didn't stop her anymore when she opened the door and stepped out. She gave him a final wave before closing the door.
The security guard and the employees who were still outside were surprised to see her. Some of them were able to see a man's figure in the driver's seat before the door closed.
"CFO Long!" The security guard's stern expression immediately became gentle, welcoming and respectful. "Good morning!"
The other employees all followed suit and greeted Long Jinjing with great enthusiasm and respect. She greeted them back before turning to look at Lu Zihao's shiny, black car which hadn't left yet. It was only when she entered the company building that the car finally drove away.
A warm feeling spread throughout her chest at the thought that her secret crush was now her boyfriend. Even though their relationship would only last for thirty days as per their agreement, she still enjoyed this feeling of having someone worrying about her safety, albeit too excessively in her opinion. Well, she would just ask him to take his protectiveness down a notch after he returned tomorrow.
For now, it was time to work. Her posture straightened and an air of a dignified boss began to emanate from her in subtle waves. Both she and Chen Fei had learned a lot on how to project an aura of a leader from her younger sister Xiulan when they started working with her.
They were known as Orchidia Beauty's trinity of goddesses to their employees.
Iris Long was known as the "Workaholic Golden Phoenix Boss Goddess".
Long Jinjing was known as the "Gentle Money-Hoarding Dragon Goddess".
And to complete the trio, Chen Fei was known as the "Fierce Corrosive-Tongued Tiger Goddess".
Nobody knew exactly who coined these titles to describe Orchidia Beauty's top executives. The titles may sound negative but they were actually quite accurate so all Orchidia Beauty employees embraced them and uttered them with great pride and reverence.
As for the three so-called goddesses in question, they didn't care much and acted like they always did at work, further proving that the titles were indeed accurate.
