Bossy CEO: Submissive To Your Love

"Jasper... So, that's what you are busy with? Huh?"

At she reached the elevator, Gabrielle Shen called her boyfriend to tell him about the interview she had, but all she got were a few mutters of how he was still busy with his internship. Seeing that it was inconvenient for him, she hung up in a hurry. Just as the elevator opened, her heart dropped to the pits of her stomach. There, she saw a couple openly flirting with each other as the man's arms tightened around the woman's waist.

Jasper Ye quickly drew out from the woman's grasp, as his eyes widened by a fraction. He didn't expect to see his girlfriend like this. "Why are you here?" he demanded, as if it was her fault for catching them in the act. "Weren't you applying for an internship?"

Gabrielle Shen's face shifted to that of uncontrollable rage. "The company I've interviewed for is the Mu Group. I remembered telling you this hundreds of times! Were you even listening to me?"

Her fists trembled as the spear of betrayal twisted deeper into her heart. As she thought of the sweet words Jasper Ye had told her, the painful feeling grew even greater.

"Go back first. I'll explain all of this to you later, okay?" He grabbed her wrist.

"We still have work-related things to talk about. You wouldn't understand."

Nancy Qi sneered at the piteous sight. She had always hated Gabrielle Shen – the cold, unfeeling bitch. Jasper Ye had always been one of the most outstanding bachelors back in their school, and she couldn't help but fall for him. What she didn't expect was for him to like Gabrielle Shen instead. Not convinced that he actually loved her, she decided to chase him.

Sure enough, no man would ever not fall in love with such a beauty. Thinking of this, a flash of haughtiness appeared in her eyes before she resorted to acting out her part. "Jasper, you shouldn't waste your time with this kind of woman," she whispered softly. "Look at her! She doesn't even understand your needs."

Gabrielle Shen's face contorted with disgust at the sight of the shameless woman snuggling up to her partner. She shook off his hand. "What do you have to explain?"

Jasper Ye darkened at her words. "You've always been so ungrateful, do you know that?" he spat out, having enough of her arrogance. "Even when I pursued you, you always act like you're better than everyone else. Well, let me assure you that you aren't!"

"I'm ungrateful?" She resisted the urge to snort in disbelief as she eyed the man who had once been so considerate and sweet to her needs.

Her delicate face flushed with color as the harsh betrayal made her tremble. The kind man had never been this shameless towards her.

She looked up, and the corners of her lips twitched. "Is that really all you can say?"

Seeing as she still didn't let it go, Jasper Ye gritted his teeth. He was about to say something else when Nancy Qi quickly interrupted him, "Gabrielle, sweetie, you're the only one who thinks your relationship is going anywhere. The only reason he doesn't want to break up with you is because he feels sorry for you. I mean, look at you, how else can you compare to me?"

Her voice was loud and clear that it had attracted multiple passers-by.

Jasper Ye was about to turn and leave with Nancy Qi when a voice called him back.

"Wait!" Gabrielle Shen quickly blocked their way as she stared at him coldly. Her fingernails dug into her palm as the next words ripped her heart into two. "Let's break up."

The man paused for a few seconds, as if he couldn't register what was happening. She actually wanted to break up with him in public? Who the hell did she think she was? However, after he gazed at the aloof woman standing in front of him, there was something about her that made his heart quiver. It was as if her indifference had made her even more attractive. He shaped his lips in a thin line, unwilling to let her go.

"Break up?" Nancy Qi snorted. "Haven't I just told you that Jasper doesn't want you anymore? You think you're the one who should break with him?"

"Am I talking to you?" Gabrielle Shen snapped, having enough of the woman's yapping.

The resentment in Nancy Qi's eyes deepened. After taking a step forward, she shoved her backwards.

Unprepared from the sudden impact, Gabrielle Shen staggered back, losing her balance almost completely.

However, as she squeezed her eyes shut, she didn't feel her back hitting the hard pavements below her. Instead, she felt a warm embrace wrapping around her back and a familiar scent of perfume.

Stunned, the young woman looked up.

The man was dressed in a clean cut suit. His face was carved like a sculpture, paired with a deep set of eyes and an angular jaw. He pursed his thin lips. There was something about him that screamed a certain elegance.

She recognized him in one glance. "Mr. Alston..."

Alston Mu, CEO of the Mu Group, and the man who had just interviewed her.

He helped her up as if it was nothing to him. "Hello," he greeted.

She didn't expect for him to respond. As his warm hands grabbed a hold of her waist, she found herself gazing up at him.

"Is this your boyfriend?"

He glanced at Jasper Ye with narrowed eyes. The coldness in his gaze made him freeze.

"Him? No, not anymore."

'Interesting.' Alston Mu glanced at her, yet even then, his gaze still revealed nothing.

"Mr. Alston, don't listen to her nonsense. In reality, we still haven't broken up. She's just throwing a tantrum," Jasper Ye stated as if it was a matter-of-fact. With an awkward laugh, he grabbed Gabrielle Shen's wrist. "Don't make a fool of yourself, Gabrielle. Come with me."

A fool?

"Let go of me!" Although Gabrielle was unwilling to leave, she found herself powerless under his tight grip. Just as she was struggling to pull away, the silent man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her other wrist. Before any of them could react, he quickly pulled her into his arms.

"Let her go," Alston Mu commanded – his cold voice ringing across the hall. Jasper froze, and his eyes widened. After glancing up at the man's hardened gaze, he subconsciously loosened his grip on her wrist.

There was something about this man that screamed danger. He wasn't an idiot to piss him off!

Just then, Gabrielle suddenly cried out in pain, falling deeper into his arms. Alston Mu quickly turned to her side to see what the commotion was about.

Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she ducked her head. She didn't expect that she would fall into his arms two times in one go. "I'm sorry," she stuttered out, refusing to look him in the eye. "I–I must've twisted my ankle."

She wore high-heeled shoes in the interview. When Nancy had shoved her back, she sprained her ankle from the sudden force.

Alston Mu gazed at her fair ankle to see that it was already swollen and red under the bright bows of her heels.

With a frown, he didn't hesitate to sweep her off her feet.

The action made her freeze. "Mr. Alston," she managed. "I can walk on my own. It's fine."

"Don't move." Without giving her any room for argument, he easily carried her as he walked towards the exit.

Behind him, Jasper stared wide-eyed at the events that had just transpired. He tried his best to slander Gabrielle in front of the CEO of the Mu Group, how could she have captured Alston Mu's favor that fast?

Unwilling to give up, Jasper was about to race after her when Nancy stopped him on his tracks.

At the other side of the building, Alston Mu was already heading towards the underground parking lot with Gabrielle in his arms. Once he reached a sleek black car, he opened the door and placed her in.

The series of actions were smooth and quick that she had no chance to react to what was happening. She only came to her senses once Alston had already started the car.

Glancing at him, she stiffened. "Mr. Alston, where are we going?"

The man looked straight ahead. It took a few moments for him to answer, "Don't worry. I'll just take you to a doctor."

The man's presence sent a jolt into her veins. Although a part of her felt timid and shy under his presence, another part of her wanted to be close to him.

After hesitating for a while, she nodded and the car sped farther away.

However, instead of stopping at the hospital like she had expected, she found herself arriving at the gates of an incredibly luxurious villa.

Although she had never been there before, she could assume that this beautiful mansion was Alston's home. The magnificent villa was solemn, as its intricately carved walls loomed over them when they neared the door.

After getting out of the car, Gabrielle stood by one of the columns as Alston went ahead to park the car at the front.

Suddenly, a man in a tuxedo stepped out of the villa.

When the butler caught sight of her, he almost jumped out in excitement. He bowed down and clapped his hands together. "Miss Gabrielle, you're back!"

"What? What did you just say?" Gabrielle furrowed her eyebrows at the man's strange words. She had no idea who Alston was before her interview, and it was also the first time she had ever come to this house. Why would he say that?
