76 But What Are You Going to Do? (2/2)

Through their conversation, Lawyer Lin had a good impression of Ye Shuang. Even though the latter did not have much knowledge of the world, he was an expert at professional and esoteric knowledge; his sharp analytical ability especially impressed Lawyer Lin. Therefore, he provided Ye Shuang with this warning to evade possible misunderstandings in the future.

Good social skills might not seem important normally, but having a good relationship was much better than going around stepping on people's toes.

”An office affair‽” Ye Shuang smiled before brushing it off. As she stood up to go to wake her boss, she added, ”I already have a girlfriend.”

That was the best reason, but it also reminded Ye Shuang of her lack of progress in the romantic department. She needed to find someone to lock in her gender. She promised to trap… I mean, fall in love with someone, but there was no viable candidate in sight.

Ye Shuang waltzed over to the bedroom door and used her knuckles to knock on it. An Zining seemed to be awake already because her reply came quick. ”Coming.”

Ye Shuang shrugged and returned to the sofa. Since she was in her male form, naturally, her boss would not just let her in.

Ten minutes later, An Zining opened the door, and her hands went unconsciously to her stomach, which was still flat. She did not seem to notice that this had become a habit of hers. After greeting the few people gathered in the living room, they had a quiet lunch. After gurgling down a glass of warm water, she gave her schedule of the day.

”Tonight, I'll be going home for dinner with my cousin. Bodyguard and personal assistant will need to follow me, and we'll spend a night there.”

An Zining gave her orders easily; after all, it was common for the boss to ask for their hired help to accompany them to events, so this was not even counted as overtime. However, when Ye Shuang heard that order, she almost burst out crying.

Illegal car racing only happened at night, and she had to work in the day, so the only time she could liaise with the racers was at night… and now even her night time was dominated by someone else!

I wonder if I can ask Han Chu to give me an extra day? Swallowing her tears, Ye Shuang could not come up with a valid reason to reject An Zining, so she could only nod sadly. ”I understand.”

After that, it was report time for Lawyer Lin. However, An Zining's attitude seemed to have softened due to her pregnancy. She stopped demanding to have Chen He stripped to his undies and tossed into the river but asked for monetary support. It would be best if she could get a large amount as soon as possible…

For some reason, Ye Shuang had a feeling that her boss was planning to run away from the country with her baby.

”If, I say if…” Ye Shuang scratched her chin and poked Brother Wong who stood beside her. ”If our client suddenly decides to run away, and no one in her family, not even Mr. Fang, knows about this, is our job considered a success or a failure‽”

As hired help, their responsibility was to fulfil their client's every need, and other people's requests were not part of problem. However, if their client wished to escape and avoid their protection, then should the client's orders be followed, or they should force their service on the client‽

Brother Wong answered with some degree of glee, ”Then, it'll be a heartache for Brother Han. In any case, this is not something we should be worried about. Furthermore, your job scope won't be affected that much should that happen, so what are you so afraid of?”

Ye Shuang nodded. ”That is true, but Brother Wong, you're the personal bodyguard, what are you going to do if that happens?”

”…”

”Brother Wong?” Ye Shuang turned to look at Brother Wong since she did not get an answer.

Brother Wong did not seem like he had considered this problem before. When he was reminded by Ye Shuang of this conundrum, he was stuck. ”I feel like we had better inform Mr. Han. After all, Brother Han is the head-hunter; this is not a violation of the non-disclosure clause.”

Ye Shuang looked on with pity as Brother Wong wandered to the corner to make a call. Meeting an unreasonable client was the worst part of being in this business, so it was little wonder that his face did not look that happy.

An Zining stayed at home that afternoon. At around 5 pm, the doorbell rang. Ye Shuang opened the door and saw Mr. Fang.
