49 His Raven (2/2)

It was hard to pique his interest, no woman ever had but this one was an exception. She was just like him, the female version of him. He didn't love her but her company amused him.

She gave him something darker or brighter every time she was with him.

Back on Lei Xinyi desk she was hot all over. She must be kidding to herself because that man was the most dangerous being on the planet and she felt safe in his arms. As safe that she even let herself lean on him

She had always lived a life out of the shelter, so she had always been on high alert. In life nobody could be trusted. Trusting was giving them opportunity to catch you off guard.

He said she was his raven Lei Xinyi gave out a bitter smile, His Raven? She maybe a raven but she was no one's. She was a woman with sharp edges; life with her couldn't ever be smooth.

And after all she was making a fool out of a man, who wouldn't think twice before ripping her into pieces. She had to be careful.

She didn't want to think of the consequences of being caught, even thought of it made her shudder.

As the Lunch Break was over the secretariat was being filled again and Lei Xinyi was back in her acting mode.

First entered Fan Bingbing, who took notice of Lei Xinyi sitting in her desk but ignored her completely as if she didn't even see her then Jiang Qinqin who gave her a disgusted look.

Lastly, it was Chen Shu, who had her eyes red from crying. She gave Lei Xinyi one hateful glare then went to her desk to continue her packing.

Lei Xinyi didn't take notice of anyone's presence instead kept scrolling through her phone. Everyone saw she was avoiding eye contact, which they assumed was due to guilt.

As all the secretariat was shunned of voices as Assistant ji entered with his tablet in his hand.

He gave one deep look to Lei Xinyi then cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention.

He began in his authoritative formal tone, ”As you all are aware due to the…. farce that took place this morning, the people involved are demoted and their year's bonus was cut and as Ms Chen was found guilty of slandering the CEO's fiancé's name and thus was required to submit her resignation.”

Lei Xinyi bit her lower lip and observed everyone reactions, Fan Bingbing face was expressionless, and Jiang Qiang was glaring still in her direction while Chen Shu was crying quite audibly now.

Taking a pause he gave a once over look to all the people in the secretariat then said, ”…. So following the ordeal Ms Jiang is demoted and Ms Fan is the Head Secretary now. And Ms Chen's resignation…. is rejected after consideration, but she is demoted too and Ms Lu will be her replacement.”

After his announcement the whole secretariat was filled with charged silence but ignoring all the reactions he was getting, Assistant Ji turned to leave.

While walking he came to a stop and said over her shoulder, ”Ms Fan, follow me…. for instructions.”
