Before that matter was resolved, she never dared to show the slightest vulnerability, not even to Xu Sanhu, the childhood friend who was later as close as a brother and always by her side.
Once her career reached a certain point, too many people had their eyes on Mr. Xu. She was a prime target, and even though she didn't dare wear a single item of women's clothing, people still tried every trick in the book to send women her way.
So, for the first and only time in her life, she did something so stupid she couldn't even face it herself. After a business dinner, she chose to run, hiding away alone in a hotel room to drown her sorrows.
And after?
She was terrified.
She ran.
She really, truly ran.
Who the hell would've guessed that a brother supposedly suffering from an unmentionable problem was faking it the whole time? We were supposed to be good brothers, but it turned out my "good brother" had wanted to sleep with me all along.
