Come Across True Love With Cold CEO

The house was particularly quiet in the still of the night. Lesley Ye's ring tone suddenly reverberated around the room. As she heard it, her heart tightened. She had a sinking feeling when she answered the call.

"Lesley, come to the casino now. You have to save me."

The familiar voice at the other end of the line made Lesley Ye frown. She clutched her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I'll be there soon. Just text me the address."

After getting the address, Lesley Ye rushed to the casino. She trotted over to the hallway and turned at a corner. But all of a sudden, a tall and straight figure appeared in front of her. She was too shocked to even stop, so she bumped into the man. Lesley Ye felt like she hit a brick wall, but the man did not move at all. Taking two steps back, she stared at him in awe.

"Miss, are you okay?"

A cold and pleasant voice rang out in her ears that made her come back to her senses. She rubbed her nose and said, "I'm okay. I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry."

When Lesley Ye got a chance to see the man's face clearly, a trace of astonishment flashed through her eyes. At that moment, there was only a sentence that subconsciously formed in her mind, 'You never forget a pretty face.' Maybe it was even an understatement. But she couldn't think of any other suitable words to describe the man. He was more than just a pretty face. She could say that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen on earth.

He had perfect facial features. The pair of eyes below his delicate eyebrows were as deep and charming as the top-grade dark gem. His nose was tall and straight, and his thin lips were pursed into a beautiful arc. Even his expressionless face made him look more attractive.

The well-tailored black suit that he was wearing made him look taller and well proportioned. He looked noble and elegant. Even if he would just stand in a corner, he would definitely stand out, and people would be delighted to see him.

Derek Yun also stared at Lesley Ye in front of him. She was only wearing an ordinary business suit, and she had a delicate face. However, he thought that her facial features were well-matched, making her look so attractive to him.

He noticed that her nose had turned slightly red, and her eyes were misty. Perhaps she almost cried because of pain. But instead of crying, she politely apologized to him. She didn't even scold him. With this, he thought that the woman was cute.

"I'm really sorry again. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now." After apologizing again, Lesley Ye left in a hurry, without even giving Derek Yun a chance to say anything.

Feeling a little surprised, he just stared at her receding back and sighed. 'She is the first woman I've met who left me behind. Some women even try to bump into me intentionally just to catch my attention. She's interesting, ' he thought inwardly.

Griselda Ye's eyes lit up the moment she saw Lesley Ye approaching. Griselda Ye, who was wearing a low-cut red dress, was about to stand up. But she was pressed on the shoulder by the man beside her.

The bald man sitting opposite Griselda Ye had a ferocious look on his face. His fierce eyes scrutinized Lesley Ye's body. Fortunately, his voice was in sharp contrast with his appearance. "Little girl, are you Griselda's daughter?" he asked gently.

Instead of answering the man's question, Lesley Ye said, "How much does she owe you? I'll pay for her." She stood beside the gambling table calmly without showing any signs of fear.

"Okay," the bald man said. He then cast a glance at his subordinate and ordered, "Give her the bill." The subordinate walked up to Lesley Ye and handed her a piece of paper.

Lesley Ye looked at the piece of paper and frowned. "One million dollars? Why don't you just try to rob a bank?" One million was an astronomical number to her. 'Does he really think I am a fool?' she thought to herself.

"Cut the crap, woman! You have to pay me back today." The bald man smiled grimly. "Otherwise, the two of you won't be able to leave."

Lesley Ye looked around and noticed that some men in black were surrounding them. When her gaze shifted to Griselda Ye next to her, she sighed and said to the bald man, "Well, I'll pay you back."

She was then forced to sign a promissory note that she would pay the one million dollars in full next month. After that, she left the casino with Griselda Ye.

Inside a private room on the second floor, Derek Yun witnessed everything that happened in the hall through the window. As soon as the two women left, he looked away and thought, 'That woman looks weak, but she's not afraid of the bald man at all. She's getting more and more interesting.'

Lesley Ye walked out of the casino quickly, leaving Griselda Ye behind. Her heart was already filled with anger. This kind of situation had happened countless times. But no matter how angry she got, she would still come and rescue Griselda Ye. She had no choice. Griselda Ye was her mother and her only family now.

"Damn it! Why are you walking so fast? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?" Griselda Ye scolded as she followed behind Lesley Ye. "How unfortunate I am to have such an unfilial daughter like you!"

"Do you really think I also want a mother like you?" This time, Lesley Ye couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She stopped, turned around, and looked at Griselda Ye coldly. "When did you even treat me as a daughter? If it weren't for Grandma, I would have died a long time ago from your maltreatment."

"Are you out of your mind?" Griselda Ye's eyes popped out of her head with anger. "If I have known that you'd become an unfilial child, I shouldn't have given birth to you."

"That's what you always say." Lesley Ye's voice was cold. "Yes, I owe you my life. But I have already paid you back over these years.

Gambling! That's all you do. And every time you have gambling debts, you call me to pay for them. I have been paying for all your gambling debts in the past few years. This time, you owe them another one million dollars. Do you think I have that kind of money to pay them?

I'm telling you, I'm done with it. From now on, I will never pay for you anymore."

Griselda Ye got more enraged with Lesley Ye's words. "I don't care! Do you also think that I want you to pay for me? Lesley, from this day, I will think that I never have a daughter like you." Griselda Ye then turned around and left.

Looking at Griselda Ye's receding back, Lesley Ye tried her best to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry for Griselda Ye anymore. After a short while, she also turned around and left.

'Griselda is my mother, but she has been beating and cursing me since I could remember. She has always given me a hard time. Ever since I've started making money, she would ask me to pay for her gambling debts every two or three days. She has never cared about my life. But why would I feel heartbroken now that we fall out with each other?' she thought.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye. Our company is too small to accommodate you. I suggest that you try with other companies." The interviewer gave Lesley Ye an unhappy look. It was as if she wanted to drive her away with a broom.

In her mind, she thought, 'She is just a college student who has not even graduated yet. How dare she ask for an annual salary of one million dollars! Does she think she is made of diamonds? She's sick in the head!'

Lesley walked out of the company with drooping shoulders and sighed in exhaustion. She knew what the interviewer had thought about her. But she had no choice.

She wanted to borrow money from someone else, but she didn't know where else to go. Her only relative here was her mother, and her friends were all students who only relied on their parents for their allowance. Although she was able to borrow a little amount from some of them, it was too small compared to the one million dollars that she needed to pay.

Lesley had racked her brains to think of ways on how to earn one million dollars in a month to pay for her mother's gambling debts.

She walked in the street in a daze. When she passed by a nightclub, a woman in revealing clothes forcefully stuffed a leaflet into her hand. She didn't mind it and just continued walking forward.

But after walking directionless for a while, she suddenly stopped and looked at the leaflet in her hand. 'Perhaps this is fate. The only way I can get money now is to use my body.

But can I really do it? Can I give myself to some random man?' she thought to herself. Lesley bit her lower lip hard for a long time. She couldn't make up her mind.

At this time, Derek was driving and happened to see Lesley standing by the roadside. He was surprised as he didn't expect that he would see her again this soon.

Derek stopped his car nearby and walked gracefully towards her. As he got closer, he noticed the apprehension on her face as she looked at the direction of a nightclub. He wondered if she was thinking of working there. He knew that women were introduced to rich men in nightclubs.

It was a place for the sex trade.

Lesley stood in front of the door of the nightclub for a long time. After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and plucked up all her courage. But when she was about to go inside, she was stopped by the doorman. He said politely, "Miss, I'm sorry. We don't allow female guests here."

"I..." Lesley opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. Her face flushed in an instant. She lowered her head and clenched her fists before she finally said in a low voice, "I want to apply for a job."

She had never thought that such humiliating words would come out of her mouth. The moment she made this decision, she felt like her dignity had already disappeared. But what could she do? Even though she wasn't willing to do this job, there was no other solution to her problem. Raising one million dollars in one month was no joke.

The doorman was stunned and looked at Lesley for a while. He then nodded to her and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to the manager. Let's see if she accepts you or not."

But in his mind, he thought, 'This young woman is comely and pure. Many guests will definitely like her.'

Lesley was about to follow the doorman inside when someone grabbed her arm all of a sudden. Then she heard a cold and familiar voice from behind. "Wait!"

Derek had been watching Lesley. But he didn't interfere until he saw her about to walk inside the nightclub with the doorman.

"You?" Lesley looked at Derek in disbelief. She could never forget the most handsome face she had ever seen on earth. "Sir, I'm really sorry for bumping into you that night," she added.

Lesley thought that the man was angry because she just left in a hurry that night, so she apologized again. She wanted to explain, but he said, "It wasn't a big deal so forget about it. Why are you...?" Derek couldn't finish his words. He looked at her coldly and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know what place is this?"

Derek didn't believe that Lesley was someone who would hook up with rich men. But he couldn't understand why she had taken the initiative to come to this place.

"I know," Lesley answered in almost a whisper. She felt like her face was burning with embarrassment.

The possibility that someone who knew her would see her in a place like this never occurred to her. Even if she had only met this man once, and she didn't even know his name, she still felt ashamed.

Upon hearing her answer, Derek's eyes became colder. He then asked coldly, "Do you that once you walk into that door, there is no turning back? Are you sure you want to do this?"

Deep inside him, he was thinking, 'I hope I'm not mistaken. She looks so pure on the surface. I don't believe that she is one of those money-grabbing women.'

"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Lesley looked at Derek gratefully. "But I really need money right now." She then turned around and walked into the nightclub.

Lesley couldn't face him anymore. She didn't want him to see her at the most humiliating part of her life. She knew that although he looked cold on the outside, his care for her was genuine. After all, he took the initiative to stop her even though he didn't know her personally. But she really had no other choice.

Derek felt a little disappointed when Lesley followed the doorman inside the nightclub.

He turned around and was about to leave. But he didn't know why it seemed that something was stopping him from leaving. After taking a few heavy steps forward, he turned back and strode inside.

The manager puffed out a smoke ring and looked at Lesley up and down. She then said lazily, "You said that you want to apply for a job?"

"Yes," Lesley replied with a nod. Although she still felt humiliated, she was gradually trying to accept the fact that she had to do this job.

"How old are you? And what do you do?" the manager asked as she walked up to Lesley and touched her body.

Lesley stiffened, but she still answered, "I'm twenty-one years old. I'm still in college."

"Good. Your skin is soft and tender. College students can also arouse the interest of our customers." The manager walked around Lesley and sighed. "But it's a pity that you only look ordinary and have an average figure. You're not actually a good one."

Although the manager sounded insulting, and her tone made Lesley feel uncomfortable, Lesley endured it. After all, she was here because she desperately needed money.

"But it's okay. I'll still give you a chance. Anyway, you look so pure. From now on, everyone will call you Lily in this nightclub. Go and change your clothes. What you are wearing right now is not good for the business."

She accompanied Lesley to the dressing room and left while Lesley was changing her clothes. Since she had been working in the nightclub for a long time, the manager had already met a lot of women like Lesley. At first, she sympathized with them. But as time went by, she became numb. She had come to realize that they needed this job to experience a good life.

Lesley rummaged through the clothes rack and finally found a relatively less exposed dress to put on. She then sat down in front of the dresser and put on heavy makeup that she had never worn before. After fixing her face, she looked for a pair of high heels to match her dress.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lesley felt like she was looking at a stranger. With the dress and high heels that she wore, she looked slender and long-legged.

Her long eyelashes, thick makeup, and red lips made her look mature at once. Her hair that was tied in a ponytail was now loosened and scattered on her shoulders. She looked pure yet enchanting.

Lesley sat backstage and waited for the manager to come back. Soon enough, the manager appeared in front of her again and brought her inside a showroom.

The showroom was dark, with only one spotlight in the middle. The manager let Lesley stood at the center, and the light from the spotlight fell over her head. She couldn't see anything or anyone inside and outside the room. It gave her an eerie feeling, and she couldn't help getting flustered.

Thinking that someone was looking at her with obscene eyes sent a chill down her spine. She grasped the hemline of her dress while forcing herself not to tremble.

Derek sat in the VIP seat, squinting his eyes at Lesley. Just now, outside the nightclub, Lesley looked like a pure fairy in his eyes. But at this moment, he felt like she was a sorceress standing in the middle of the showroom.

With the plunging necklines of her blouse, Derek could clearly see her delicate collarbones and cleavage. The dress she wore only covered her private parts but revealing her long and soft legs. Knowing that he was not the only one watching her sexy appearance, he felt a little angry.

"Hello, gentlemen. This young woman here is Lily." The manager pulled Lesley to her side and introduced her with a smile. "She's a college student, and today is her first day here. She is pure and comely. Does any of you wants her company tonight?"

Derek's gaze was fixed on Lesley. Her face looked bloodless. He could tell from the way she stood in the middle of the room that she felt scared. It was as if she was abandoned by the whole world, and she had nowhere to go. He couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

He remembered the first time he saw Lesley in the casino that night. Now, he wondered if that bald man forced her to sign a promissory note for a large amount of money.

"I want her!" Derek shouted all of a sudden. He didn't like the way Lesley was being humiliated. She didn't deserve it.

The manager's lips curved into a happy smile when she heard Derek's voice. Although she couldn't see anything, Lesley looked around. The voice she heard just now sounded familiar. But she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Lesley was still at a loss when she heard the voice again. This time, it seemed to be talking directly to her. "I've chosen you, so go and wait for me in the room now."

Derek paused for a short while before he added, "And by the way, change your dress. I don't want you to show up in front of me wearing that outfit."

Although she was surprised by the man's request, Lesley felt relieved. She wasn't used to wearing such a revealing dress, so she was dying to take it off.

She didn't expect that things would go so smoothly on her first day. But she still felt scared.

Inside a luxurious and extravagant room, the dim light gave it a romantic ambiance. Lesley paced back and forth nervously, her hands were clenched tightly. She had already made up her mind for this job, but she still couldn't help feeling flustered.

As she heard the doorknob clicked when it was turned, she froze and stared at the door nervously.

The door opened, and a tall figure appeared in front of her. Her heartbeat went abnormally fast.

When she recognized the handsome face she was looking at, her eyes widened in shock. "You?" she exclaimed. Now she remembered that familiar voice she heard just now.

Derek raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Are you disappointed to see me?" He closed the door and slowly walked towards Lesley. His cold eyes were fixed on her face.

"No. It's not what I mean." Lesley shook her head. She then looked at Derek and said seriously, "I'm grateful that it was you who chose me."

"Are you silly?" Derek snapped. His voice was still as cold as usual. "You are such a fool. I bought you, and yet, you still thanked me."

Lesley's eyes were bright and clear, which seemed to reflect her soul. Looking at her eyes gave Derek a strange feeling. He felt like he wanted to protect her against the cruel world. She was too naive, and she could be easily fooled by others.

"But still, thank you," Lesley said. At first, she stunned by his words. But she didn't know why she still felt safer with him than with other men.

Although Derek felt that she was silly, he still found her cute. Indeed, she was different from all the women he had met before. Every time he saw her, he felt fresh.

He raised her chin with his finger and lowered his head a little closer to her. In a teasing voice, he said, "So, how are you going to thank me?"

They were so close that Lesley could even feel his warm breath on her face. Looking at his handsome face, she felt that her cheeks flushed all of a sudden. Subconsciously, she reached out and pushed him away.

Her fair skin turned red, like the peach blossoms in March. She was extraordinarily beautiful, and her delicate face was too charming. Derek's eyes darkened in an instant.

However, his expression didn't change at all. He glanced at her coldly and said in a sarcastic tone, "You only said that you're thankful to me, but you don't want to prove it. Okay, I won't force you then."

Derek then turned around and was about to leave.

"No. Don't go." Lesley didn't expect that he would change his mind. Her face turned pale as she hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.

"Let go of me." Derek turned his head to look at her. "I'm not interested in you anymore."

"Please, don't go." Lesley bit her lips and endured the humiliation that she felt in her heart. She begged, "I'll do whatever you want. Please, don't leave."

'If he changes his mind, I won't be able to earn the one million dollars in one month. What will I do if those men come after us? I have already signed the promissory note that I will pay for my mother's gambling debts. I don't have a choice but to swallow my dignity now. It doesn't matter if I have to beg him, ' she thought to herself.

"Well, I just realize that you're not worth it. After all, it's one million dollars." Derek looked at her up and down as if scrutinizing her. He then said with a hint of disgust, "You are not beautiful, and you don't even have a good figure. You are not worth that much."

He was actually lying. In his eyes, there was really nothing wrong with her. It was just that, he was in the mood to tease her.

"Then, what do I need to do for you to give me the one million dollars?" Lesley asked in a trembling voice. Her right hand grasped his sleeve tightly while her left hand clenched into a fist.

It didn't matter to her if he humiliated her. She couldn't give up on him. He was her only hope now to solve her problem.

Derek's eyes narrowed as she looked at her. He then said, "I want you to be my mistress. You can only leave when I get tired of you."
