From Arrogance to Obsession: The CEO's Pursuit of Love

I originally planned to go to a bar, but due to my newly adopted goody-two-shoes persona, I drove two hours to Zenith Group's campus in Willow City.

At night, the campus was brightly lit.

Zenith Group started with the internet. In recent years, the e-commerce industry has stagnated, so Jay led the group's transformation, investing heavily in emerging industries, which eventually paid off.

Thus, he juggled both ends, busy every day. In an interview, he said the shocking phrase, "Even sleeping time is a waste."

If I had such vigor, would I still worry about handling that mistress and her two brats?

However, even a workaholic has a private life.

I felt like a paparazzi when I saw his car being stopped by his first love, making me hide my face on the steering wheel in guilt.

Then, my car honked loudly from the impact on my forehead.

Hey, why are you honking? Disobedient!

Once I take over Eastman Group, you'll be replaced!

No...

So, why am I so panicking? They didn't even see me!

How pathetic...

Just one peek, and I got caught by Jay.

After work, he changed into casual clothes, adding a touch of youthfulness.

But this man left his car with his first love, walked towards me unhurriedly, and knocked on my car window three times, signaling me to open the door.

My first reaction was, "Who are you? Ordering me?"

Then, my brain reminded me this was Jay.

My second personality took over, and I sweetly greeted, "Hello, Jay."

Calling him Jay again was really bold.

On the one hand, I wanted to test his private preferences; on the other hand, I wanted to get closer to him.

Jay got into my car!

He!

Got into my car!

I understood this was him drawing a line with his first love!

"Go home."

Jay was not ordering me with a superior's tone but speaking to me with the familiarity of an old friend.

He was saying this for Eva to hear.

I'm an actress; there's no way I'd give myself away.

So, I started my car, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove away.

I remembered the dossier that stated Eva and Jay were childhood sweethearts, having a complicated love-hate relationship for over ten years and always being entangled.

After college, Eva married another man early on.

This old relationship ended two years ago, yet she still came to find Jay.

Jay was a normal person; he definitely wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

However, despite saying to go home, I didn't know where Jay's home was.

Next to me, he was silently sitting.

I just kept driving in circles.

Seeing that my car was running out of gas and my stomach was growling, I had a sudden idea and handed him a tissue, feeling so sorry. "Jay, if you want to cry, just cry. It's not a crime for a man to cry."

If I didn't mishear, a suppressed chuckle reached my ears.

I saw the red light and slammed on the brakes, blinking twice and leaning closer in disbelief, "Was that you laughing?"

Jay, being petty, refused to admit it and coldly said, "No."

I began to ask, "Where's your home? I'll take you there."

He didn't fall for it, "Take me to your home, and give me your car to drive."

"What, are you afraid I'll camp outside your house?"

"That's exactly what I fear."

I wanted to retort but couldn't, swallowing my frustration, "I would never do something you don't want me to!"

"What about things I want you to do?"

"I've been learning diligently in the workshop."

Jay had nothing more to say. I realized he wanted me to take him to my home.

Chasing a top-tier man like him really required not showing any force; the only option was to subtly align with his wishes.

I drove into the flat I usually stayed at near Zephyr University.

In the underground parking lot, as I was packing up to leave, Jay got out of the car, too.

This shocked me to the core.

Jay, with a smile in his eyes, asked, "You're not going back to Evershade City?"

I truthfully replied, "I fought with my dad, so I'm not going back."

He was very cautious, "This house is?"

"A coming-of-age gift from my mom." I gave him a meaningful look for a few seconds, then casually asked, "Want to come up?"

"Yes."

Oh no...

I was stunned...

Anyone would understand...

But I wasn't planning to become a mom so soon.

Jay flicked my forehead, and as our eyes met, he leaned in slightly, hugging me, "Driving all this way, didn't you notice?"
