Chapter 831 - Jiang Shengyi (1/2)
The time arrived when the employees of De L'amour came to work. Liu Shan had returned to his office, while Yue Ling remained in her own.
* Ring ring
She was typing on her computer keyboard when her work phone rings loudly. She doesn't look away from the monitor but presses the speaker button.
”Yue Ling here.”
[ ”CEO Han, Miss Jiang is here. Would you like me to have her sent to the waiting room?”]
De L'amour's receptionist Sophia spoke from the other line. When Yue Ling heard her words, she glances at the time on her computer before returning to what she was doing.
”Send her up to the conference room.”
[Yes, ma'am.”]
The call ends, and Yue Ling's fingers over the keyboard pause. She steadily got up from her chair and walked toward the door.
The second she opened the door, Liu Shan greeted her. He had one
arm raised with a posture like he was going to knock.
She stares at him with an arched eyebrow but walks past him as she knew why he was standing in front of her office.
”She's here.”
Liu Shan was still in shock about what just happened. He swore his boss was physic since she opened the door like she knew he was coming to meet her.
However, hearing her sudden words, he frowns with pouting lips as he knows who is the 'she' his boss mentioned. Of course, he didn't forget to follow after her.
”ls it time already?”
He glances down at his wristwatch and seeing the time he nods his head
approvingly.
”Wow. She's here early.”
His words fell, and he recalls a certain someone. His face contorted with disgust as he spat his words.
”Unlike that good for nothing Ming Yue, who is always late but claims she was the first one here.”
Remembering all the things Ming Yue did in the past made him want to cough blood due to anger. However, since his boss hasn't mentioned her since she disappeared, he will stay quiet for now.
After all, he and Yue Ling know where she (Ming Yue) is precisely hiding.
He brushes away all the thoughts and comes to his senses. When he did, they had arrived in front of the elevator. He naturally stretches an arm to press the button, but Yue Ling moved faster before he could make a move.
”...”
His head slowly turns to look at her. Seeing her calm expression, he lightly shook his head. How could he forget? She may be his superior, but she isn't the type to wait for others to press the elevator button for her.
”If you have a question to ask, don't hesitate.”
Yue Ling spoke without looking at Liu Shan. She knew what he was on his mind as he would occasionally remind her to act like a CEO. However, she is never one to place herself above those who are inferior to her.
Whether it is opening the door, pressing an elevator button, make a cup of tea or coffee, she won't bother others with simple things. She can do these herself.
Liu Shan snorts a faint chuckle in sarcasm. He looks away from her and stares at the elevator door.
”What question is there to ask when you already answered it with your expression.”
* ding-
His last word fell, and the elevator arrives at their floor. The door slides open, and disregarding his inferior position as Yue Ling's assistant, he takes a big step inside.
Yue Ling doesn't say anything but shakes her head and follows in after him.
As the boss and assistant head down the elevator, Secretary Jiang patiently waited in the conference room.
She wore a plain black suit dress with simple black heels. Her hair was put in a low bun behind her nape, and a few strands of loose hair framed her face.
Her entire being gave off a professional yet elegant air. However, she was
often ly glancing at the wall clock.
”Did I arrive too early?”
The appointed time Yue Ling told her was 10 am. However, having been a secretary at Fang Fabrics for a few years, she always came to work an hour early. She did this because she didn't want to be ridiculed by her boss as incompetent and liked to be ahead of schedule to overlook assignments that she might have missed the day before.
As her thoughts began to trail further, she unknowingly bites her lower lip.
