Chapter 143 A new trend (1/2)
———
At De L'amour, Ming Yue arrived to work and quickly gathers all the design drafts for the meeting. She walks towards Yue Ling's office. Like usual, she knocks first then enters.
”CEO Han, I have all the drafts ready for—”
Before she could finish, she froze in place. She stare in wide eye at one of the couches in her boss's office. Quickly, she rubs her eyes. Still seeing the figure, she looks at her Boss.
However, she was dumbfounded. Her boss at this moment was calmly typing on her computer. She was not even bothered by the figure on the couch.
Was this really her boss? Her boss who is a workaholic and doesn't allow anyone to slack off? Is this a dream? Was she seeing things?
”What is it?”
Yue Ling spoke as her eyes remain fixated on her computer screen.
Ming Yue clear her throat and walks to Yue Ling's desk. She sets a few folders with the design drafts down.
”These are the designs for today's meeting.”
Yue Ling stops typing and reach for one of the folders. She opens it and scans through the designs. She nod her head at some pages and frown at some, but she did not say a word.
She scanned through a total of ten folders in fifteen minutes. Setting the last folder down, Yue Ling looks back to her computer screen and starts typing again.
”Everything seems fine. You may leave. There's still thirty minutes until the meeting.”
”Yes, CEO Han.
Ming Yue turns to leave, but she suddenly stops. Quickly, she glance at the couch then turn back to face her boss. Her mouth open and closed to say something, but nothing came out.
From the corner of Yue Ling's eyes, she could still see her secretary's figure. She stops typing and glance at Ming Yue with an indifferent expression.
”Anything else?”
Ming Yue felt a sudden cold chill go down her spine when her eyes met her boss's. It was always those bluish green eyes that made her feel scared. As if those eyes could see straight into one's soul.
Quickly diverting her eyes, Ming Yue takes a deep breath to calm her imagination.
”CEO Han, as your secretary, I think you shouldn't allow assistant Liu to casually sleep at work, especially not in your office. Words might travel about you and assistant Liu.”
”....”
Yue Ling didn't say anything but look at Ming Yue. She calmly leans back on her chair and slightly tilt her head. Her eyes never once leaving the woman's eyes.
Ming Yue became even more nervous after she finished what she wanted to say. She couldn't bring herself to look at her boss at all. To her, it was as if the temperature in the room had turned negative degrees. However, she already said what she wanted, so why stop there. Plus, her Boss wasn't saying anything, so that was a sign for her to continue.
”CEO Han, don't take what I said to the heart. I'm just trying to help you from allowing others to spread rumors. I'm just looking out for you. You know I've been here—”
”By 'others', do you mean you?”
Yue Ling arch a brow and her calm voice interrupted Ming Yue. However, one can definitelyhear the coldness in her tone.
Ming Yue bit her lower lip, then she nods her head, ”CEO Han, what I mean is—”
”What you mean is, if I keep treating Liu Shan this way, everyone here at De L'amour will say I'm favoring him?”
Ming Yue: ”.....”
Yue Ling leans forward. Both her elbows on her desk and her chin rested on her intwine fingers. Her eyes locked on Ming Yue's.
”I pay you to be my secretary, not to question me. However, from what I'm getting from you, is someone who thinks to highly of themself. You say you're helping me? By doing what? Complaining? Have you seen any of my employees coming into my office and complain about you?”
