Chapter 56 - Giggling in the tigers den (1/2)

”Miss Mai? Why are you here? And what were you doing on the ground?” Si ying asked in confusion.

Mai yuerui was so embarrassed that she couldn't look at them.

She picked up her glasses from the floor hurriedly, tidied up her shirt and replied, ”Boss told me to proof read these doc.u.ments. So I came to give this back after proof reading them.”

Yuerui's small little face has become red like a tomato. Xianwang saw her face and found it quite interesting. Since the day Yuerui joined the office she had always had a blank expression on her face. It was the first time he saw this kind of expression on her face. Her face was like as red as beet root and her eyes were lowered to the ground.

'Is she embarrassed?' Xianwang thought.

”Why are you looking at the floor? Did you do anything wrong with the file?” Xianwang asked with the same old coldness but also with some majestic vibe in his tone.

”N..no boss. I did the work perfectly. There's nothing wrong with the file.” She replied while still looking at the floor.

”Then why aren't you looking at me? Do I seem like a ghost to you?”

'Even worse.' Yuerui bit her lips.

”No boss. Absolutely not.” She shook her head vigorously.

”Then look at me and tell me what's wrong” Xianwang was actually having fun to tease her like this.

He knew she was embarrassed because of her fall but still kept teasing her.

On the other hand, Yuerui was still looking at the ground. Then after a while she thought,' Mai yuerui, you can't escape from this. And it's not a big deal to fall. It's not like he caught you while eavesdropping. You actually covered that up professionally.'

She lifted her face slowly to face Xianwang but a sudden thought crossed her mind and she immediately lowered her head.

'Oh crap I am not wearing my glasses.'
