Chapter 584: 373 Intimate to the Point of Suffocation, Kitchen Killer on the Loose (2nd Update)

The indoor light was dim, and the man had a cold, ominous face, exuding extreme danger.

Shuci tensed up due to his words, the proximity too close, she felt as though she could hear her own heart pounding like a drum.

Because deep down, she knew his words were true; her modest ability to defend herself was adequate against the likes of Manager Fan, but she would inevitably suffer a disadvantage in the hands of Jiang Chengsi, let alone when facing him!

As her mind was in disarray, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye of his hand suddenly reaching out.

Shuci reacted almost instinctively, subconsciously resisting, trying to block his hand, but in the next second, her wrist was seized, pinned to the wall behind her, and as she began to raise her other arm, it was also restrained.

Both hands were fixed on either side of her head; his strength was too much, and she couldn’t break free.

It was also the first time she felt firsthand the vast disparity in strength between men and women.

When Shuci tried to lift her foot, the man seemed to have anticipated her action; in the confined space, he neutralized her force, and she was pressed against the wall by him...

His whole body didn’t press close, yet the overwhelming sense of oppression, the man’s breath sealing her off, left her unable to breathe.

His hands gripped her wrists tightly, the heat from his palms scalding.

The man slightly bent his waist, leaning down towards her, watching her seriously, still expressionless, his gaze stern, and the only thing that was assaulting her senses...

was a scorching, bone-searing breath.

Shuci’s pupils trembled slightly. What did he want? "Mr. Huo?"

"Do you see?"

"What?" Shuci was in a state of high tension, subconsciously biting down on her lip, and from a young age, she had been competitive; it was the first time she’d been restrained by someone without any chance to retaliate.

Her heart was racing, unable to fathom what he wanted. Although they had been seeing each other every day lately, riding in the same car, they never exchanged more than five words, let alone any intimate gestures.

Suddenly like this... Shuci was genuinely bewildered.

"If I put my mind to it, bullying you would be very easy."

His voice was hoarse and deep, looking down at her from above, the proximity between them almost unimaginable.

And his gaze landed on her tightly pursed lips, his eyes tightened, his Adam’s apple bobbing gently as he restrained himself and shifted his gaze away, releasing his grip on her and stepping back.

Shuci completely relaxed, all of this just to prove...
