Chapter 2 (2/2)

Then our Manager turned and whispered: ‘The President is giving speech. Please be quiet. Guan Xiao Bei, if you have problem please resolve it after meeting!’

I had to move back to my seat. However due to the disturbance, it has attracted the President’s attention from the stage. He threw an explosion glance at our direction. I just sat down and look ahead at a safe direction. However, for a moment, our eyesight interlocked.

Maybe it was just my imagination… I think I smelled crackling and seeing dark flash of lighting follow by strong burning smell in the air.

President calmly stare away and continued his speech. Even without a female’s sixth sense, I knew he recognized me and is planning to kill me.

At last, my dredged moment of torment is here. Reluctantly, I stood up and recite the string of words. Without emotion and eye contact, I burst out all those familiar words like a talking machine. Two minutes seem so long, finally it ended and I’m ready to sit down.

At that moment, Yi Fan from the stage smiled and said: ‘Miss, your self-introduction was very exciting. Can you tell us your name?’

I turned silent…. I did mention my name, however very softly.

Surrounding colleagues gave me friendly smiles. They probably think that our boss is as warm as a spring breeze. Warm like the Sun. But from the look of his smile, I knew I’m going to die very miserably with the evil curse.

My name is Guan Xiao Bei. Starting from that moment, I had signed my own death sentence.

‘Guan Xiao Bei… Xiao Bei. Welcome Ms Guan to AC and becoming our team members. I hope we can achieve our goal together.’ Yi Fan nodded with a smile.

Starting from that moment, I could accurately foresee my tortured future.

Su said: ‘From your point, just with few stares and it can made you feel so scared!’

Eyesight! Just observing the eyesight will this do! You tell me, what his meaning at the end?

After the orientation meeting, I did not do any networking with Luo Luo, Peter and other newcomers. I cowardly walk back to my cubicle and drilled myself between the piles of files. With my many years of experience in Wuxia stories, if you encounter such a powerful enemy, the best solution was not to changed his board minded thinking. Closed or dragged him into trouble but to find a deserted place to hide as far as you can. Once you are out of enemy sight, the heart of irritation feeling will vanish, naturally the killing instinct will disappeared.

I pretended to look at data. However my ears were constantly on alert at the surrounding noise. Once I heard some footsteps approaching, my body will instantly react. So when Elle, a.s.sistant to President found me, I was pretending picking up rubber for the third times from under the table.

‘Ms Guan, The President is asking for you to see him at his office. Ah! Are you alright?’

‘Yes, I’m fine!’ I came out from under the table, ‘Did President said anything?’

I instantly feel the eyes radar from behind. Our relations.h.i.+p is like north and south poles, no borderline or connection but why the President summoned me the new rookie. Must be some hidden secrets!

After hearing my anger story, Su comforted me: ‘You see! All these are your own imagination. He has no substance action. Why make yourself worry.’

Alarmist? Worry! I’m going crazy.

Su, don’t you understand, from 9:30am to 5:30pm, I sat on the sofa opposite of his desk with his big eye silently staring for confrontation. I spent 8 hours….
