Jiang Yuyan was standing by the window of her office when Xiao Min knocked on the door and entered with the schedule of the entire day for President Lu.
Seeing her by the window surprised Xiao Min as she always preferred to start her work the mont she entered the office. Seeing her dazed and looking outside of the window blankly that she didn't even notice Xiao Min's presence which ant she was troubled with sothing.
"Boss!"
Jiang Yuyan looked at him, and he said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Yuyan shook her head and sat in her chair as she waited for him to start his work.
Instead of explaining the schedule, Xiao Min said, "Boss can tell if sothing is bothering her."
Jiang Yuyan, who was calm, stared at him for a while and said, "Soon you would be too busy with your troubles to listen to mine."
Xiao Min didn't understand what she ant, but as she returned to her savage form, that ans she was normal.
"Whatever happens with , I'll always be there to share my boss's troubles," he said and held the tablet up to look into it as Jiang Yuyan waited to hear it.
"We have a eting at ten-thirty, which might last for half an hour. After that, there is no eting before lunch. At two o'clock, Ms. Song ilin had scheduled an appointnt with the boss. Later….."
"At two clock, the ti of your troubles will start," Jiang Yuyan interrupted him.
Feeling puzzled, he looked at his boss, "Is there anything important that I have to do once Ms. Song is here?"
"You will know by then," she said and looked into the laptop screen.
Xiao Min didn't ask much but hearing Song ilin's na reminded him of a certain soone, and he frowned. "It's better he is not here."
-----
During the eting, finally, Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan ca across each other, but as usual, both treated each other professionally. During the eting, their sights t, but it held no aning other than just work.
Jiang Yuyan was thankful for his professional behavior, unlike how he acted before coming to the office or didn't how she would have stopped coming here.
Though she was relieved in the office, she was anxious about what he would do once the office hours were over. Pressing her temples, she sat in the chair, thinking about what to do.
"Should I not go ho for a few days? Should I go to Jiang residence….but mother will start pestering for marriage…. Yeah, I should go to my ho, and he won't know where I went….." Just as she thought she found a solution, she paused and rembered Lu Lijun's threat of going to the police to file a missing report of his wife, "Argh….that kid….what should I do?" She felt like banging her head on the table.
Inhaling deeply to calm herself down, she leaned back in her chair and frowned, "Why am I scared of him? Just as she thought, she denied her previous thought as she chuckled, "Scared? My ass!.. Why would I be scared of him?" She asked to herself and thought about the 'why'.
The next mont the mory of what he did with her in the car flashed in her mind, and her heart raced faster. She stood up and went to the window to give a thought about it while staring outside. In the morning, when she arrived at the office, she was puzzled by the sa thing.
'I was wrong. I am not scared of him. I am scared of…..'
Knock! Knock!
The sudden knocking on the door disturbed her, and the receptionist entered the office. "President Lu, Ms. Song is here."
Jiang Yuyan nodded and sat back in her chair.
Song iling entered Jiang Yuyan's office as assistant Shen Li followed her.
They greeted each other, and the two sat in the chair opposite Jiang Yuyan. They discussed the project. Shen Li was the one leading it, and for that, he had to go to another city for the past few months.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Min, who was busy with so other important work, entered the office not knowing soone unexpected was there too.
He greeted Song iling and Shen Li. He tried his best not to show he was even surprised to see Shen Li and acted as if Shen Li was no one special. Even Shen Li, too, didn't show anything on his face.
They discussed further things, and Jiang Yuyan looked at Shen Li. "Assistant Li can discuss the remaining things with my assistant."
Shen Li nodded while Xiao Min didn't look so happy but had to carry out his work. Shen Li left to go to Xiao Min's office while Song ilin stayed back.
"How is Nicky?" Jiang Yuyan asked once they had finished discussing the work.
"She is fine and doing good with what she had planned," Song ilin replied.
"Hope to see her back soon," Jiang comnted.
"She might return soon."
It surprised Jiang Yuyan, and Song ilin added, "This ti when I visited her and asked her to return, she didn't say firm no like before."
"Hmm, then she might return."
The two continued to talk while Xiao Min led Shen Li's way to his office.
Just as Shen Li sat in the chair, Xiao Min started discussing the work, not even asking when Shen Li returned.
Shen Li didn't mind as they needed to work first. Once they finished discussing, Xiao Min spoke as he closed the file, "Our legal team will contact your legal departnt, and we can proceed with the next arrangent."
Shen Li nodded and asked, "How have you been?"
Xiao Min put the file aside and replied, "As usual busy with work."
Though they were close to each other, eting after so long created a distance between them as Xiao Min's stubbornness added to it.
"You didn't ask when I returned."
"I didn't even know when you left."
"It was an ergency, and you were busy with your boss. But I dropped the ssage," Shen Li countered.
"You are taking wrong, assistant shen Li. I an to say, it didn't matter to when you left, so your return too doesn't concern ."
"Understood!" said Shen Li as he asked, "How about dinner tonight."
"I am busy," said Xiao Min.
"Hmm," Shen Li stared at him for a while, and Xiao Min felt uneasy.
"I'll see you out," Xiao Min stood to let Shen Li's way out of his office.
Shen Li didn't mind it and stood up to leave as he said, "See you."
Xiao Min didn't reply and Shen Li left. The mont his office door was closed, Xiao Min sat back in his chair and pulled out his cellphone. He had so many unread ssages from Shen Li and realized he must have ssaged him but he didn't read it. He opened the ssages and finally saw his note about returning to the city.
"Why is he back?" Xiao Min frowned and leaned back in chair.
