Chapter 20: Why Italian? (2/2)
The person before her was a..
A dwarf!?
The man who helped in Mingyu's case, Wang Shi's assistant Daiyu.. was a dwarf!?
”He is Daiyu, my assistant.” Wang Shi unscrewed the cap to squeeze the ointment. ”Earlier, he helped in Mingyu's case.”

To not make Daiyu feel awkward, Suyin recovered quickly. ”Thank you,”
”Don't mention. Though I'm short of height, my hacking skill is my weapon. I'm the best.” Daiyu gloated proudly.
Wang Shi in a heavy voice, ”DAIYU..”
”Alright, I'm leaving. Take care.”
Suyin fell into a daze as the little assistant scrambled from there in a jiff.
”So it was you,” taking off her blue blazer, she covered her exposed legs to prevent herself from any wardrobe malfunction.
”Huh?” He threw her a look.
”Prevented the post from being taken down, kept it in the rankings and circulated everywhere.” She lamented the facts. Earlier it didn't strike her, but the only other person she spoke to that night was Wang Shi. With a capable assistant like Daiyu by his side, it's just a child's game for him.
”Yes,” He didn't hide.
”Now I owe you one,” She sighed.
He teased her by chuckling, ”If you think so, buy me a meal.”
”Done deal. I know a very good Italian restaurant,” She looked at him as he let go of her ankle and stood up.
”Why Italian?”
”Because it's your favorite,”
”How do you know?”
”Ahh! What are you doing?” A yelp escaped her mouth as he scooped her up like a bride and carried her to the office lounge. Her hands went to hug him by the neck.
”Your ankle's hurt; do you want it to get worse by jumping around? Take a rest.”
”But.”
”You didn't answer my question.” He walked around the bed to the other side and gently placed her next to the sleeping fairy, Honey.
”I-I.” Dang her blabbermouth! Can't she keep it in check!? Finding herself stuck in a difficult situation, she turned and hugged the sleeping fairy. ”You are right, I should take rest. Good night. Switch off the lights before leaving.” And she dived into the blanket to not let him see her tomato red face.
Her flustered reaction amused Wang Shi. The laughter built up, making his shoulders shake, but he made sure not to make any sound to not let her feel embarrassed.
”I've got a surgery scheduled, will take a few hours. Trouble you to be with Honey and not leave the room.” He said in a low voice, keeping in mind his sleeping son. ”I'm leaving the painkiller on the table. Take care.”
Not expecting any reply from her, he walked to leave.
”All the best,”
He paused.
He smiled.
He looked back and saw her dived inside the blanket like an ostrich hiding.
”Thank you,”
