"Is this how you do your work?! If you think the company needs a worker like you, you must be dreaming. What are you all doing? Redo everything!! I'll give you a week's time to sort this out. You better not disappoint me, or else--- meeting adjourned!"
Without blinking an eye, Feng Jiu left the conference room and returned to her office.
Witch, Demoness, Asura--- Feng Jiu was aware of all those name-calls behind her back, but she did not care about it. All that she had to do was to make sure that her grandfather's company would not go bankrupt and would continue to prosper.
"Madam, here are the recent reports about the stock market." Ming Yue placed the papers on the table.
Feng Jiu grabbed the folder and silently read the context. Few seconds later, her brows wrinkled in a tight knot. She could not help but slap the table angrily.
*slam*
"What is the meaning of this? Is Lu Corporation trying to monopolize everything?!"
Ming Yue and the two assistants flinched. Ming Yue saw her two assistants looked at her pitifully and could not help but sigh internally. 'Madam, you can't force them to stop if they don't want to.'
"The Lu Corporation is starting to get cocky. Do they think that they can crush my Feng International and replace us? Who's behind this? Is this the work of old man Lu?"
Feng Jiu organized herself and tried to suppress her anger. Lu Corporation and Feng International were not enemies in the business world because both companies had different line of work.
"No, Madam. Rumors that the eldest grandson of Chairman Lu will take over the company soon. After the change of management, they will undergo expansion and will enter our market this year."
Hearing Ming Yue's words, Feng Jiu inwardly cursed. 'Damn it!!'
Feng Jiu clenched her fists. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "How much time do we have before the Lu Corporation enters our market?"
Ming Yue fell silent. She was afraid to tell Feng Jiu the truth.
"Speak. How long?" There was no trace of emotion on Feng Jiu's face, but her words were full of coldness.
"Answering Madam, we only have a month's time left. Two months at most." Ming Yue gulped. She was afraid that anytime soon, all of them that were inside the office would die without a burial.
Feng Jiu did not speak but Ming Yue felt the chilling air effortlessly penetrated in every bone of her body. 'Urgh.. So cold… I want to go home.' Ming Yue wanted to cry but lacked tears to shed.
Suddenly, a laugher echoed inside the office. That laugher was full of malice which made Ming Yue and her two assistants involuntary cower together. The two assistants were trying their best not to fall from standing. Their legs were shaking badly. 'Uh..urgh.. Madam is so scary.'
"Hao! If they want to swallow everything, I, Feng Jiu, am not going to surrender without a fight. Since they wanted to trample my Feng International, they better prepare for the worst. This Lady is not easy to bully!"
Suddenly, Feng Jiu's phone rang. Looking at the screen, Feng Jiu saw her grandfather's name appeared on the screen.
"Yue, contact all the stockholders. Make an appointment for our emergency meeting three days later."
After giving some instructions to Ming Yue, Feng Jiu answered the call.
"Yeye[1]? What's wrong? Why did you call?"
"You, stupid child! Will Yeye only call because Yeye needs something?"
"....." Feng Jiu rolled her eyes internally. She did not respond to Feng Xuan Tian's question, making the old man cough a couple of times in order to hide his embarrassment.
'Having a strict granddaughter is really difficult, ah.' Feng Xuan Tian cried inside his heart.
"Ahem.. W-Well, Yeye has been thinking.. Ah Jiu ahh, when will you give me great grandchildren, eh? Can't you just stop working for the meantime and focus on finding a husband? If you don't mind, Yeye will help you!"
Feng Xuan Tian sounded so excited on the phone. All the grievance he felt suddenly vanished when he remembered the talk he had with his dear friend.
"Don't worry! If you are very busy, just leave everything to Yeye!! Yeye will select a fine young specimen for you! Yeye already has someone--"
Hearing her grandfather's words, Feng Jiu sighed and immediately stopped him from finishing his sentence.
"Yeye. Can you please stop it? I don't have any time right now. I'm busy with our business and--" she tried to explain but was cut off immediately.
"Feng Jiu!! I did not give the company to you so you could enslave yourself from working nonstop!! You are the only relative I have, and the only treasure Feng Mo left. I'd rather lose the company than let you become an old spinster!!" A series of light coughs could be heard on the other side of the call.
"Yeye! Are you okay??" Feng Jiu started to panic. Her parents died when she was young. She only had her Yeye as her family and if something happened to him, she could no longer continue living.
"Feng Jiu. *cough* My decision is final. Whether you like it or not, you will marry this year! Or else.. *cough* *cough* just forget that you still have a grandfather."
The phone call ended. All she could hear was the disconnection tone. She sat on the sofa and did not know what to do.
Feng Jiu silently looked at the window for a while. There, she saw a reflection. A woman that was full of indifference. Unlike any other women who were wearing beautiful dresses and exquisite makeup, the woman in the reflection dressed conservatively without any touch of loveliness a woman must have. One look and people could tell that this woman must be as boring as hell and not worthy of affection at all.
Feng Jiu sighed. She wanted to be normal. Who on earth would not want to dress up and be pretty? Especially for girls, being pretty gave you confidence.
Feng Jiu did not know when she started behaving differently. Being an orphan since young, she forced herself to mature early. Since she gave off a young and immature vibe, she decided to dress up like this to hide her child-like appearance. Who would have thought that it had been years since then?
She became indifferent and emotionless not only towards those people with malicious intentions but also those that surrounded her. It would be shocking if she suddenly 'freed' herself from the shackles.
Feng Jiu stood up. She walked towards the window. There, she saw that woman on the reflection once again. She reached her bun and loosened it up. Thick black hair suddenly fell behind her back. She reached her eyeglasses and placed it on the table. There, the woman she saw in the reflection a while ago transformed into a different woman in front of her.
Having a face that could evoke every man's desire and a pair of eyes that could speak a thousand words, the woman was very beautiful.
Indeed, a beautiful woman that was full of vitality and youth.
But who cares if she was beautiful?
Nobody knew that deep inside this outer shell of hers hid a girl who only wanted to be pampered and loved. A normal girl who cried while watching romance on Netflix, loved pink the most, drooled over handsome guys and hated cockroach to death.
Nobody.
Nobody could tell that the Demoness from hell, the Witch of their company was merely a camouflage to hide everything from those so-called relatives of hers. She already decided that she did not need anything. As long as she could protect her grandfather and his precious company.
Feng Jiu contemplated before calling her grandfather. It took five rings before it was connected to the other side.
"Yeye... I--... I will listen to you. I will marry the person you have chosen." She did not give him time to answer and immediately ended the call.
'Was my decision correct? Well, it doesn't really matter. But for once, before I marry someone I do not love, I want to experience being a normal lady with a normal life.'
Thus, finally, after who knows how many years, Feng Jiu decided to 'free' her true self and experience the glory of life.

[1]. Grandfather
8PM, Drunken Immortal
A woman got out of her car and walked towards the entrance of the club. She was wearing a black leather jacket and a black mini dress with matching black stiletto boots up to her knees. Dressed in all black, she captured the attention of every male she passed. Her long hair, that was styled in layered-wavy curls was dancing in the air as she walked slowly. Like a blooming Red Spider Lily, the woman exuded a seductive yet celestial, poisonous but graceful aura.
When the woman arrived, she immediately sat at the counter to order drinks and looked around to observe her surroundings. The beautiful woman was none other than Feng Jiu. If one of her subordinates saw her, for sure, they would not recognize that this beautiful woman who was wearing a seductive dress was the Demoness of their company, their Witch CEO. Since Feng Jiu already accepted the marriage her grandfather prepared for her, she knew that she could never escape and break free from her shackles. So, before erasing the other side of herself, her true self, she wanted to experience the life of a normal woman. Buying beautiful clothes, wearing sexy dress, drinking in a bar--- being merry all night without thinking of other things, she wanted to experience all of it even once in her lifetime. But… she knew her limitations and would not act drastically. She just wanted to enjoy this evening and treasure this moment she knew she would never experience again.

Drunken Immortal VIP room
"Mr. Lu, we hope that this collaboration will be a huge success."
"No worries, Mr. Xia. After 2 months, the Lu Corporation will venture out and expand our business."
A fat old man stretched his hand at the front. A tall man with a sharp gaze took Mr. Xia's hand and both of them shook hands for the last time before Mr. Xia left the VIP room.
"Sir, do you want to---"
"No. I'll just stay here for a while. No need to accompany me. You can go home."
The assistant bowed his head and left the room without saying anything, leaving the man all alone inside. Few seconds later, the man stood up and went to the window. If the people dancing on the floor would look up, they would see a man with a king-like aura looking below at them. The man was dressed in black suit and red tie. His eyes were like the eyes of an eagle, deep and alert. He was staring below as if he was looking for his prey as drank the wine on his hand. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as if he was displeased at what he saw. Minutes later, he grabbed his suit and left the room.
-------
Feng Jiu was walking in the pathway with her left hand tracing the wall. She was drunk for the first time in her life. 'Urgh... Jesus Christ! Why did I drink so much??' Her head was spinning, she wanted to lay down and sleep. She stood up and went to the comfort room to relieve herself. She did not pay attention to the men who were trying to get fresh with her, she wanted to escape from those flies hovering around her. Those ugly mutts were trying to eat her tofu[1].
While walking, her body swayed left and right even though she was holding the wall to support herself. One of the waiters who were carrying glasses of wine suddenly appeared in front of her. Since Feng Jiu was drunk, she felt like the world was spinning, making her head dizzy and confused. She did not know where to turn to avoid colliding with the waiter. At the last minute, she tried to twist her body but was not successful due to the momentum. *bam!* Feng Jiu and the waiter collided with each other, pushing Feng Jiu backwards. She closed her eyes, ready to feel pain when suddenly, a large hand grabbed her waist and pulled her upward. Without any second thoughts, Feng Jiu instinctively wrapped her hands towards the person who grabbed her. Due to the force she exerted, the man's face got closer and Feng Jiu could feel his hot breath just a couple of inches away from her lips. She could not help but gasp.
He smelled of mint with a hint of honey.
Her head could not process everything instantly and was left dumbstruck. She regained herself when she felt something hot was touching her. She tried to push him but he possessively snaked his left arm around her waist while the other one kept on moving up and down behind her back. Feng Jiu slapped the hand that kept on roaming around her body. She was not accustomed of being touched intimately like that.
"Woman, you have to compensate me." a cool, deep voice whispered beside her. Feng Jiu suddenly recalled the words, 'a voice that could impregnate the ears' she heard when she was inside the public restroom. Feng Jiu squinted her eyes, trying to see his face but unfortunately, she could only see his silhouette. She reached her hands upward, wanting to grab his face and pull it closer. Fen Jiu raised her head as she pulled his neck downwards. She gawked at him foolishly. Feng Jiu did not know if it was because she was drunk or because of those beautiful eyes staring back at her, but it seemed like her soul was being pulled out of her body. She smiled and suddenly leaned her face forward.
She kissed him.
"Hehehe... I-I've already marked *hic* what's mine. Come. *hic* Follow this lady and you w-will not go hungry."
The world started spinning and Feng Jiu felt that her stomach was acting weird. She could no longer suppress the nausea and puked on his shirt.
"Blergh… Uuu…" After puking her guts out, Feng Jiu went limp and fell forward. The man's eyes narrowed and raised his hand to catch Feng Jiu. He glanced at the woman in his embrace. She had pointy nose and small, narrow lips. She was the epitome of beauty. Just by embracing her made him go wild like a beast in heat. Her scent, unlike the pungent smell of perfumes like every woman had, only contained a faint fragrance of orchids. Even the smell of her puke and wine that was splashed on both of them could not mask the fragrance her body exuded. This was the first time he felt this way. Without no rhyme nor reason, he wanted to possess her. If not because of his great control, he might have taken her here immediately. Something inside his body urged him to possess her completely. Indifferent to their surroundings, the man carried Feng Jiu outside the bar and placed her inside his car.
"Mmm.. Mmm.."
Fen Jiu moaned while adjusting herself in a comfortable position. The man looked at her like he was trying to engraved her face in his eyes. A thought suddenly passed through his mind...
'This woman is mine.'
------
'Urgh...'
Feng Jiu woke up groggily. She wanted to continue sleeping but she had the urge to pee. She slowly opened her eyes and blink a couple of times. Her head hurt. She closed her eyes once again and took a deep breath. She was in her bed, lying down. She let herself adjust to lessen her headache. Few minutes later, she slowly moved her body, wanting to get out of her bed when she suddenly felt pain on her lower part. As if someone stabbed her there with a knife.
'The fudge!! It hurts like hell.'
Feng Jiu inwardly cursed. She was silently reprimanding herself when she noticed something. She went stiff when she realized she was not the only one lying on her bed. She immediately turned her head and was horrified to see a ***** man beside her. She did not even notice that she was sleeping on his shoulder and his other arm was wrapped around her waist.
'Who is this man?!'
Someone ate her tofu without her knowing? Feng Jiu had no recollection of such things. Suddenly, bits and pieces, memories of what happened last night entered her mind. Those disgusting males, the waiter, her fall.. The man with eyes as deep as the galaxy and.... her flirting with him. Her eyes bulged as she screamed inwardly.
'Did I just wantonly eat him dry?!'

[1]. Take advantage
'What the hell is going on?!'
FengJui felt as if her body was submerged in a cold water. Her face paled as she stared at the man beside her.
'Did I just roll on the bed[1] together with this stranger?!'
She looked at herself and found out that aside from being *****, her body was full of love bites. Her left ****** had a faint bite mark and some parts of her arms had bruises. Feng Jiu's mind was in total chaos as she tried to recall everything that happened last night. She remembered that before she collapsed, she flirted with an unknown man—a stranger!
'Whoa!! This is all my fault.. Urgh.. I can't believe that I just lost my virginity without a cause. I shouldn't have---urgh… This is totally shameful.'
She stared at the man she shared her night with. He had thick eyebrows and his eyelashes were long. His hair was messy, and his mouth had a small cut in the corner. Despite his messy look, his elegance and bearing were superior. Even the most hailed celebrity actors paled in comparison. She looked at him and found out that he was also full of tiny love bites, in contrast to his white, smooth skin. There was a bunch of small teeth marks on both of his shoulders and some scratches on his arms.
'Oh, God.. Don't tell me.. I made those hickeys---?! This…'
Feng Jiu could not believe that she could be this wanton towards someone she did not know. She really couldn't remember everything that happened after she puked at him. She looked at the ceiling while trying to recall everything, but aside from fainting after she puked all her guts out, she could not recall the intense activity she did together with this man beside her. Feng Jiu did not even notice when the man beside her opened his eyes and stared at her.
She suddenly felt an intense stare from her side, so, Feng Jiu subconsciously turned her head towards it. Two beautiful eyes were gazing at her fervently. Like a galaxy full of stars, his eyes were shining brightly. His lips curved upward which gave him a naughty look despite his cold and aloof facial expression. As if she was bitten by a snake, Feng Jiu went stiff. She could not help but stare back at him. They both stared at each other without blinking. Feng Jui felt suffocated, she could not breathe. She did not know why but she felt that the surroundings became hot all of a sudden. The man did not say anything but his right arm where she laid stroked her head softly while the other arm grabbed her waist, pulling her closer towards him.
Feng Jiu was startled to death. His breath was hot and it tickled her ears, making her blush like a ripened tomato. She had goosebumps all over her body. She could not help but feel alarmed due to his sudden action. It was very intimate, making her subconsciously shy away. When she recalled that both of them were ***** under the thin sheet, Feng Jiu panicked. She tried to push him away, but she was locked in his tight embrace. He put his head on her shoulder and sniffed her fragrance from her neck, not paying attention to her struggles. Feng Jiu felt awkward because this was the first time she had experienced being intimate with a man. Last night was an exemption because she had no recollection of what had happened between them. She tried to speak but was left speechless when she felt something hard poking at her abdomen.
"!!!!!"
Feng Jiu suddenly felt scared. She had forgotten to fight back. She could have slapped him on the face or bit him hard but because she was caught of guard and was unable to think rationally, Feng Jiu was like a lost rabbit who was cornered by a big bad dog.
The Man's hands started moving, tracing every section of her body--- her waist, her butt, her back and... her breasts. Every inch of her body that was touched by his hand started burning. Few seconds later, Feng Jiu could feel the sudden change inside her body, as if she was being grilled in a pan. She suppressed the moan wanting to escape from her mouth and tried to push him again. In order to stop the man who was currently eating her tofu, Feng Jiu forced herself to speak clearly while trying not to moan.
"U-umm. Excuse me? ...Nnnm... What-what are you doing-aahh!"
The man looked at her. He did not stop, rather, he twisted his body and positioned himself above her. He pressed his sexy body towards Feng Jiu and increased the pace of his hands. Feng Jiu felt horrified at herself. Although her body felt very hot, she noticed that she was starting to enjoy his touch. The man stared at her. Every change in Feng Jiu's expression did not escape from his eyes. Under his scorching gaze, Feng Jiu swallowed and spoke again.
"I-I believe this ...aahh... is a m-mistake."
Feng Jiu felt flustered. Her heart was beating like crazy and she could not control herself from squirming beneath him. 'Dammit!! I'm the Witch CEO!! Many people tremble upon mentioning my name! Being swayed like this is a disgrace for myself!!'
Feng Jiu was busy trying to suppress the unknown desire inside her body that she did not notice the sudden change in the man's face when he heard her words.
"A mistake?"
The man's eyes narrowed as he spoke. He could not help but tighten his hold of her waist, pulling her closer intimately. Feng Jiu tried to stay clear headed. She stared back at him and used her 'indifferent to anything' voice. "Yes. This is a mistake. Since this is just a one-night stand, we should not let this happen again. Since I do not recall everything that has happened last night, let's treat it as if it's just a dream. You enjoyed it, I enjoyed it. We're even, so let's forget everything about it." Feng Jiu managed to say those words as she tried to compose herself.
Hearing Feng Jiu's words, the corner of the man's lips twitched. "Cannot. Recall. What. Happened. Last. Night? Forget. Everything?"
Every word was spoken with great pressure and anger. There was a faint glint that passed his eyes, making him look fierce. Although Feng Jiu's heart almost jumped out of her chest due to his glare, she steeled herself. "Yes. So, will you please---"
But before Feng Jiu could even finish speaking, she was cut off by his words. "No worries. I'll just have to make sure you remember everything."
He smirked and immediately captured her lips. Feng Jiu inhaled sharply but her mouth was blocked mercilessly, making her unable to breath. She kept pushing him, wanting to escape, but he did not move. He sucked her lips like a hungry beggar who hadn't eaten for a month. His tongue was exploring her mouth, twisting and playing like a naughty kid. She tried to resist by trying to bite him but before she could do that, she felt one of his hands was stroking her entrance bellow.
"Mmmp!!!"
Feng Jiu tried to resist but his other hand grabbed her wrists and placed it above her head. Both of them were gasping for air when he released her lips. He bent down and started giving her body little kisses. From her eyes, nose, lips, cheeks, neck, shoulders--- It went lower and lower until his kisses reached her small curly hairs below.
Feng Jiu could no longer suppress the moan wanting to escape from her lips as he kissed her entrance. Like a fish out of the sea, she could not breathe. She kept on turning and twisting, making her wiggle like a little worm. Her waist could not help but follow the motion of his tongue. He put two fingers while he sucked her fluids that was flowing out.
She did not know what was happening to her. She kept on pleading at him, but she did not know what she wanted.
"p-please.. Plea-ahhh... Ahhh!!"
She was like a mountain climber that suddenly fell off the cliff. Something was building inside her. The feeling was painful yet sensual..
'More.. More... I want more...'
"P-please... Please...." she cried.
"Please what?" The man stopped his fingers from thrusting inside her little flower.
'Nooo!' Suddenly, Feng Jiu felt hollow inside. She was starting to go crazy. She wanted him to stop but when he stopped, she wanted him to continue.
"P-please... Don't-don't stop."
Feng Jiu avoided his eyes that was intensely looking at her. She felt shy and humiliated. She was shy because she gave her everything to a man she did not even know, begging him to continue. She allowed a stranger to lick her entire body and taste her sweet juice. She felt humiliated towards herself. She could not believe that she couldn't fight her carnal desire and just let this man eat her tofu inside and out.
"Since you are ordering me like a servant and want to take advantage of me, you better take responsibility. What do you say? Mm?"
'Damn you! You, shameless bastard! Take advantage?! Who's eating who??'
Feng Jiu wanted to retort back but the man did not give her the change to speak up. After saying those words, he resumed thrusting his fingers and massaged her clitoris.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
FengJiu suddenly convulsed. She could not control her body and shivered continuously. Her hands automatically grabbed his hair. She did not know if she wanted to push him away or pull his face and bury it on her entrance. Not hearing her answer, he asked her again but this time, he entered his third finger and increased his pace.
"So. What's your decision?"
"Y-yes.. I will.. I will take responsibility---AAHHH!!" she screamed as she feels the pain and pleasure alternately.
