Chapter 30 - Mismatched Pair (2/2)

”Head Secretary? For what?” Darren asked in confusion.

”Mr. Qiu being his temperament self fired four of his secretaries from Spark International Group.” Li Qi'er answered as it was the most obvious thing.

”Why do I need those useless fellows when I have you as my Executive Assistant?” Dylan retorted as he read the proposal files on his laptop.

”Are you serious? You forgot again?” Li Qi'er almost shrieked at her forgetful boss. Actually, no. He wasn't forgetful, he was a big apathetic jerk!

”What did I forget?” Dylan asked indecisively.

Darren coughed lightly as he stated, ”Didi, Ms. Li is resigning in a few months.”

”What? Why?” Dylan's reaction really made Li Qi'er want to smash his head on a wall. What a lackadaisical ignoramus!

Darren shook his head and added, ”Boy, are you sure you listen to what she says?” Darren was seriously questioning Dylan's working ethics. ”Ms. Li is pregnant. So, she asked for resignment because she wants to be a stay at home mother for her child. Remember, she said it last month?”

”I can't recall.” Dylan gave a dumb and lost look. ”Oh, by the way, congratulations!”

”For what?” Li Qi'er asked.

”For your wedding. I didn't know you're married.” Darren facepalmed himself as he heard this reply.

”Oi! You even went to her wedding with me. She married my bodyguard, Shota last year.”

”Huh? Shota married her? I'm so sorry, Ms. Li. You were wearing a veil. So, I didn't recognize you.” Dylan looked at her apologetically.

”Forget it. I'm used to it in all these years.” Li Qi'er could only grumble with a belly full of anger. ”Anyways, I'll be choosing four final candidates. And one of them will eventually be my successor. And I'd like your presence during the screening process.”

”I told you to just deal with it yourself. Just choose someone less nagging person unlike yourself.” Dylan mumbled the last part softly.

Li Qi'er, however, smirked as she remembered Xiu. Less nagging? Hahaha. She'll be the death of you!

”Ms. Li, you can look for me if you need any help.” Darren offered in his usual good manners.

”Thank you, Mr. Salvay!” Li Qi'er looked at him gratefully.

”Yes, look for Daz. He loves hiring people.” Dylan also chimed in as he turned off his laptop.

”Not more than you love firing people,” Darren replied nonchalantly but it made Li Qi'er laugh out. ”Oh and Ms. Li, I told you to stop calling me Mr. Salvay. You're Shota's wife now and he's like family to me. So, you are indirectly also a family member.”

Li Qi'er couldn't help smiling at Darren's gesture. Indeed, this man was really different for people who mattered to him.
