Michael was astonished when Mai ntioned ’interested.’
It made his heartbeat accelerate instantly, and he got the urge to deny it imdiately , or else there’d be a misunderstanding.
"No, I’m not interested in you, at least not in the way you are thinking," Michael denied. "I just think that you’re better fit to work with than her."
"Well, duh! You’re comparing to Erin, it’s almost like an insult actually, anyone would work better than her," Mai rolled her eyes. "I’m a very professional and efficient worker, don’t worry, I will get things done even though I won’t be in the sa room with you."
"N—No, it’s not like that, I—ugh!" Michael began to get frustrated. It seed that Mai had a permanent sense of hostility towards him even though he had nothing but goodwill toward her.
"Anyway, I’m going to take half of your docunts and work on it in Mrs. Woods’ office," Mai said as she picked up more than half of the docunts on the desk. "I’ll check on you if there’s sothing important you need to sign."
"And you will go back and forth for that?" Michael asked.
Mai shrugged, "I an, that’s how it works, I guess."
...
Michael began to worry.
Obviously, this lady is very petite compared to him. Wouldn’t it tire her if she walked back and forth from the Chief editor’s office to his office just for him to sign a few docunts? What if her feet got sore because she walked too much?
Michael knew that he was being ridiculous. Mai was a grown woman. She was also very feisty.
But sothing deep inside him whispered to him, telling him not to allow this woman to get hurt or to be in pain.
’Ah, what’s wrong with anyway? Why do I feel like I want to spoil her? What’s so good about this sharp tongued woman?’ Michael questioned his stupidity.
But in the end, he gave in to his desire and said, "Just give your phone number. I will text you, and you can text back if there’s sothing you need to discuss with . I’ll co to you."
"Uhhh..." Mai hesitated for a second. She usually gave her phone number to her co-workers without thinking twice. But sohow, thinking about Michael texting her gave her this uncomfortable feeling deep down in her gut.
"Don’t get any wrong ideas, Mai. This is for work," Michael assured, pushing away her doubts and worries.
"I—I know!"
In the end, Mai gave her phone number to Michael, and then Michael texted her back so that Mai could save his number.
She still felt a little uncomfortable with this exchange, so she quickly excused herself, "Um, I’m going to work on these docunts. Please excuse , Mr. Eckermann."
Michael nodded, his eyes glued on her back as she left his office.
Michael intertwined his fingers, trying to hold off his excitent after getting Mai’s number. He tried to keep his cool, knowing Mai might see him as a weirdo if he showed his joy.
Michael tried to calm himself by reminding himself to take deep breaths, breathe in, breathe out, he chanted in his head. He checked his phone and renad Mai’s contact as ’Bunny.’

’What’s wrong with that guy? I thought that he is supposed to be professional enough to make this mission a success,’ Mai complained.
She expected Michael to be a very cooperative professional who would try his best to satisfy Erin.
’Though, I won’t lie. It does feel satisfying to see that bitch getting rejected,’ Mai thought. ’I will have to tell him that he needs to play pretend better.’
Mai entered the Chief Editor’s office and noticed that Mrs. Woods was absent. She frowned and wondered, "Huh? Where’s Mrs. Woods? I don’t rember her having any etings today, or did she take a bathroom break?"

A few monts earlier, the sa said Chief Editor was in the CEO’s office. She was a little bored after reading all the manuscripts and correcting them, so she wanted to et with Henry for a little chat.
Or maybe more than just a chat...
Kate stord inside Henry’s office without knocking.
She saw that Henry was busy with his phone while reading a docunt on his desk simultaneously.
Henry lifted his head, and his expression brightened instantly when he saw Kate, "Did you miss , Kitty?"
Kate closed the door behind her and sat on the sofa, crossing her legs as she stared at Henry before asking, "Have you planned everything for Erin’s ice coffin?"
"I did," Henry replied. He got up from his chair and walked towards Kate. He then sat right next to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him so he could feel her warmth, "It should take two to three weeks to get everything ready for her first ’international business trip’ to Canada."
"Canada?" Kate chuckled. "Because it’s the closest to Greenland?"
"Yeah, we can throw her there in the frozen tundra," Henry said. "She will spend the rest of her life living with the Arctic wolves, hahaha!"
Kate and Henry laughed as they imagined Erin suffering alone there.
"I couldn’t do this without you, Henry. Thank you very much," Kate said. She put her palm on Henry’s thigh and caressed the thigh area near his crotch gently, arousing the man instantly. "Maybe I should pay you back sohow. Do you have anything in mind?"
Henry gulped. He looked down and realized he was already rock hard, even when Kate was only teasing him lightly.
"I... I do have sothing in mind," Henry said. "You see, in Nuuk, Greenland, there is a northern light tour. We can see a beautiful aurora in a warm cabin, all alone just the two of us. It’d be a great reward after I toss Erin in the frozen tundra."
Kate grinned, "We can always do that, Mr. Grant. What I ant was..." Kate leaned and gave Henry a peck on the corner of his lips. "Do you have sothing you want that we can do right here, right now?"
Henry’s breath got heavy instantly. He lifted Kate easily and sat her on his lap. Henry rubbed his hard erection underneath his tight trousers against Kate’s ass and whispered in her ear, "I wonder about sothing, Kitty."
Kate bit her lower lip as she felt ticklish with his breath on her nape, "About what?"
"I wonder how it would feel to fuck you again in this CEO’s office when we’re both sober."
