Chapter 2 Finally, His Sights Land On The Snow-White Legs Under Her Skirt

Marylin Ye ran out of fear and turned into a path beside the main road. She did not know how far she had run. When she was about to lose her breath, she got down and looked back to make sure that the car carrying the drunkards didn't catch up with her. Then she was relieved to continue walking forward.

After walking for a short time with jittery, she finally saw a taxi at a crossroad.

Marylin, like seeing a savior, hailed the taxi. The driver also knew that it was difficult to get a taxi here, so he offered a price much higher than usual.

Marylin bargained with him. The driver was about to drive away. She was afraid that the only taxi would go. She had to take the price which was more than three times higher than usual, hesitantly.

After a long ride, she finally returned to the rented house.

The house she rented was in an old stone house in a urban village. It was an old house in disrepair. It had been built for at least 70 or 80 years ago.

There were many typhoons in the southern cities. When it rained and the wind blew, the old house shook a little.

When Marylin rented this house, she was thinking that maybe one day a typhoon would come and the old house will fall down and smash her to pieces, which was also a good choice.

It was even hard to be dead these days.

The land lady sat downstairs with a fan to cool herself . Seeing Marylin coming back with her clothes in disorder, in an instant, even her eyes became unfriendly. Marylin could not help speeding up her pace.

The lady suddenly stopped her and reminded her, "Miss Ye, you haven't paid the rent for this month!"

Marylin was already penniless. She was blackmailed by the driver into giving the last three hundred dollars she had. She couldn't even afford a meal.

She had to pay her mother's medical and hospitalization expenses every month. She had just graduated this year and worked for less than a month. All her financial resources came from her part-time tutor in the University. Of course, this was far from enough. A large part of her mother's medical expenses was paid by Jamie, under Marylin's begging.

Seeing her distracted, the land lady reminded her again: "Miss Ye, it's time for you to pay the rent!"

Marylin had to find an excuse to explain to the land lady: "I don't have cash on me today. I'll go to the bank tomorrow and take it to you in person."

The landlady looked incredulous and snorted: "As soon as possible! I don't rent my house on credits. "

Marylin strode back to her room and closed the door forcibly, against the door with her back, her body slid down gradually. Finally, she shed tears and sobbed violently.

Someone once said, time could easily crush the past pain like a huge wheel.

This was not true. The longer the time went by, the more unbearable the pain would be!

Everything around her reminded her of how miserable her life was!

In the past, she was so high-spirited. She liked to communicate with classmates and go shopping with friends. But now she was afraid of the crowd and meeting people she knew before, because all of this in the past would remind her that she was a murderer!

Four years ago, she was wrongly accused of pushing her sister down a cliff. Her father believed her stepmother’s words and drove her out of the house.

Everyone said that she was a sinner, she should be cut into pieces, and she was the last person who should survive.

The reason that she survived was because of the man who was supposed to marry her sister, her brother-in-law to be, Jamie Shen!

Jamie said that he didn't want her to die. He said he wanted to keep her around and torture her slowly. He wanted to make her suffocate slowly like cutting by a knife step by step. He wanted to make her more miserable than death.

...

Lying on the bed, Marylin tossed with a hesitation for a long time, and edited a text message to Jamie, telling him that she was in urgent need of money and whether he could lend her some money.

Before sending the message, she regretted it and deleted the message.

The next day, in order to avoid the troublesome landlady, Marylin went out early and had no money to eat breakfast. When she arrived at the company, she filled herself with several cups of boiled water.

The whole morning, she had been dealing with the engineering audit drawings that were not done well the previous day. Marylin’s major was Architectural Design.

She had just graduated the previous month and Jamie ordered her to work in Baohua Group as a logistics assistant in the engineering department. She usually did the most tiring work in addition to the cleaning, also the errand work other colleagues were not willing to do. She often had to go to construction site in the scorching sun to deliver drawings.

She was working hard. She tried her best to be diligent in front of the leaders. However, Jamie didn't let her go easily. The previous day an emergency phone call broke her industrious image that she had been trying to maintain in front of the leaders for a month.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the leader of the Engineering Department threw a folder on her desk, in the tone of command, "Take this to Mr. Shen's office."

Marylin glanced at the folder that the leader left in front of her. This was the design drawing of the first phase of the newly-developed building of Rose Villa. Generally, the leader will take such important design drawings to Jamie's office in person.

She couldn't help but look up at the leader in doubt.

The leader’s eyes slipped through a look of disdain, and asked: "You suddenly left the construction site yesterday. I heard you were summoned by Mr. Shen?"

After saying that, the leader looked at Marylin more obscurely, his eyes wantonly fell on her plump chest, with a sense of ridicule.

They were all adults. Marylin understood the meaning of the leader's eyes. Maybe he was thinking, aren't you a cheap woman who was played by Mr. Shen?

Marylin subconsciously lowered her eyes, staring at the drawings on the table in a daze.

The leader sneered and knocked on her desk, commanding: "Now send it, don't delay!"

It was clear. After learning about her and Jamie's affair, the leader intended to create convenience for his boss, which was more conducive to his development in the company.

All the colleagues around heard the leader's words and began to glance at Marylin with an obscure look.

Marylin bit her lips and didn't want to stay in the office for another moment. She grabbed the design drawings on her desk and went towards Jamie's office.

Dong dong dong.

Marylin clenched her fingers and knocked on the door, and came a rigid voice : "Come in."

Marylin took a deep breath and walked into Jamie's office. It was the first time that she stepped into his office since she worked here. In the past, she only stayed in the engineering department. She didn't dare to walk around. She was afraid that one of her carelessness would set off the bomb.

Jamie's office decoration was simple, black-and-white style. From a distance, she saw him seriously sitting in front of his desk in his shirt. The blinds behind him screened and poured the sunlight all over him. When he looked up to her, his face was against the light, half of his handsome face was in shadow, and the eyes on her were unpredictable.

He seemed to be surprised that it was her who came in. His strong back leaned gently to the back of the chair and squinted lazily. His cold eyes looked from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, and finally landed on the snow-white legs under her skirt…
