The smooth, velvety touch of Liu Li's black stockings made my breathing quicken. Aside from my wife, Tang Jia, I'd never been this close to any other woman, let alone this intimate.
My hand roamed over Liu Li's black stockings, causing her to moan and blush. This further aroused me, and I couldn't help but explore under her skirt, only to be grabbed by Liu Li.
She looked at me plaintively and said, "This is the company. You can't do that here."
With that, she stepped down from the table, her usual assertive demeanor restored, her phoenix eyes fixed on me.
The fading smoothness in my hand left me feeling disappointed, but Liu Li's words perked me up again. I quickly said, "Mr. Liu, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
"Take me dinner? Haha, why?" Liu Li smiled, her tone clearly gratified.
I said, "One word from you is worth ten years of reading. Your words today have been very inspiring to me, so I'd like to treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude so we can have more in-depth discussions."
"In-depth discussions? Since you're so sincere, I can't refuse. Okay, let's find a place to eat after get off work." Liu Li's eyes were charming, and she readily agreed, leaving me ecstatic.
Returning to my seat, I rubbed my face vigorously with my fingers. My mind was filled with Liu Li's large papaya and her ecstatic expression, and my body was burning with heat. I quickly took a swig of water, trying to energize myself. I pulled up the PowerPoint presentation I was working on from my files, and while revising it, I recalled the intimate encounter with Liu Li.
Liu Li was also a woman in her late twenties. After a tiring day, she inevitably felt incredibly lonely and cold when she returned home at night. Women all fear loneliness, especially those who pretend to be stronger than anyone else during the day, but are more emotionally vulnerable at night.
Even if Liu Li was the boss's mistress, it was nothing more than a physical transaction. A boss of his age couldn't possibly satisfy her, and this kind of money-for-sex exchange makes one need emotional comfort even more.
Through my wandering thoughts, I finally made it to the end of the workday. I pulled out my phone, hesitated for a moment, and with difficulty composed myself, I called Tang Jia.
"Honey, are you coming home for dinner tonight?" I asked calmly.
As expected, Tang Jia didn't disappoint me at all. She sighed and said helplessly, "No, honey. I have to work overtime again tonight. You eat first. I'll try to finish my work early and come home to be with you, okay?"
"Your company doesn't employ people like this, do you? You're treating them like mules? Overtime every day? Does a job mean you have to devote all your time to it? You capitalist bosses are so inhumane!" I said sarcastically, suppressing my anger. Tang Jia talks about working overtime every day, but who knows whether she's working overtime at the company or in someone else's bed. The thought of Tang Jia cheating with an unattractive older man filled me with rage.
Tang Jia patiently said softly, "Honey, I'm sorry. The company has been really busy lately. It'll be fine once we're done. I promise to have dinner with you every day after work. Afterward, we can go for a walk, okay?"
"Okay, keep busy. You're the busiest person in the world, busier than the Prime Minister. If you don't come back for dinner, I'll find another woman to enjoy dinner with." I angrily lashed out and decisively hung up the phone.
I lingered at my workstation for a while, pretending to work overtime. After most people in the public office area had left, I shut down my computer, packed up my things, and waited for Liu Li to emerge.
It's true that Liu Li is the hardest-working person in the entire marketing department. Every day, she's the first to arrive and the last to leave, often working late.
After waiting for Liu Li for about twenty minutes, she finally emerged from the innermost office. She'd changed out of her work clothes and donned her distinctive red dress, a striking figure that reflected her tall figure and firm, full breasts. Her long hair was tied up, and her high heels drummed against the tiled floor like war drums as she swung her waist as she walked.
Today, I made a point of observing Liu Li. I've noticed that every time she appears, she carries a radiant aura and background music. Her walk carries a breeze, and the first impression she gives is of a powerful and assertive presence.
I approached her, forcing a smile and saying, "Mr. Liu, you're off work early today. You usually work until around ten o'clock, so I'm honored to have you off early today."
"Don't try to fool me. I've noticed you're quite sweet-talking. No wonder you managed to win over such a beautiful and capable wife," Liu Li said with a rare smile, unlike her usual aloof demeanor, as if a warning had been written: "Keep Out."
I smiled, noncommittal. Actually, it would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. The moment she did, my heart ached. Damn it, in the end, you have to rely on yourself. Even if a man without talent marries a beautiful and capable wife, he can't keep her; sooner or later, she'll leave.
Leaving the company, Liu Li went to the parking lot to get her car, then drove out and parked beside me.
It was a latest-model BMW X6, given by the company's boss to each director. After a director has worked at the company for six years, the boss gives it to them as a reward for their hard work and contribution to the company. This kind of treatment makes us, the lower-level employees, envious and resentful.
"Get in the car! Where are you taking me out for dinner?" Liu Li opened the door, letting me in, and asked with a smile.
"Let's go to Green Court on Beijing Road. They have great steaks and authentic foie gras," I said, feigning gentlemanliness. Tang Jia took me to that place once before. The food was truly authentic, and I couldn't forget it. It was just incredibly expensive. My stomach hurt for days after eating there.
Haha, Liu Li laughed heartily and said, "Okay, you have quite a bit of taste. But the food there is very expensive. A single meal costs you half a month's salary. Don't you feel bad?"
"It's an honor to treat my beautiful boss to a simple meal. How could I feel bad? I wouldn't even spend a month's salary on a single meal, let alone half a month's salary," I said with feigned generosity.
Liu Li laughed again, her whole body shaking. "You're such a talker! I know you're flattering me, but I still enjoy it."
We started the car and sped off. Ten minutes later, we arrived at the Green Court Western Restaurant on Beijing Road. The parking lot outside was already filled with luxury cars, the cheapest of which was worth around a million yuan.
The two of us walked into the Western restaurant side by side. A waiter in a vest and bow tie led us to a table, where he sat us down and brought out menus for us to order.
Liu Li ordered a steak, a plate of foie gras, and a bowl of borscht. She glanced up at me and asked, "Would you like to buy me a drink?"
"Oh, sure. Whatever you like, no need to be so polite." I gritted my teeth and continued to eat, my heart pounding. The cheapest bottle of wine here costs over a thousand yuan. If Liu Li ordered a bottle of over three thousand, I'd literally lose a month's salary.
Liu Li smiled faintly and ordered a bottle of wine. It was 998 yuan, thankfully under a thousand. I also ordered a steak and a plate of foie gras, not even bothering to order the borscht.
I handed the menu back to the waiter and, raising my eyelids, caught a glimpse of two couples walking in. One of the men, dressed in designer clothes and of medium build, strode with confidence, looking like a successful individual. The other man had a more ordinary demeanor, a kind of loser vibe, likely a subordinate of a successful man.
But seeing one of the women made my pupils constrict and my heart beat wildly. This woman was none other than my wife, Tang Jia.
