Chapter 1018 - 1022: You’re Working for Free
As he hesitated to remove the flower petals from her hair, she... she actually smiled... she smiled... smiled so radiantly and sweetly, making his heart gradually soften and feel at ease along with her smile. But then he thought, what on earth is this silly woman thinking about?While he was pondering, his hand had already reached her hair, and he forcefully tugged out the petals clinging to her strands, then blew a breath on her face!
When his breath touched her face, she frowned slightly and suddenly opened her eyes. Staring at Beitang Yao’s cold face, she didn’t know what to do. He didn’t throw a punch but instead revealed the flower petals that had somehow ended up in her hair.
She had to softly say, "Young Master, when I earn enough money, I will definitely compensate you for these flowers." Even though she didn’t know how long it would take her to earn enough to buy back those flowers, she intended to keep her word, as she didn’t want to owe him anything.
"Do you think you have the ability to earn that much money? You probably can’t compensate even if you sold yourself!" His tone remained so indifferent, utterly without warmth, as his cold breath spilled over her face. The deep black, long eyelashes formed a beautiful arc under the sunlight, quite attractive and charming.
"I heard from Ye Feng that the former secretary Miss Cheng had a monthly salary of over fifty thousand." Although she wasn’t as competent as Miss Cheng, she did pass Ye Feng’s assessment, and he let her stay. Moreover... he made an exception by setting up her office within his private office.
"That was Miss Cheng. Do you have the capability to earn a monthly salary of fifty thousand?" Beitang Yao paused, revealing his pristine white teeth, whose dazzling brightness hurt her eyes. And Beitang Yao’s next words crumbled her completely.
"Didn’t Ye Feng tell you that your work is voluntary?" Her face was full of shock, which was within his expectations, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.
"What?! Xia Qingqian was utterly astonished! She thought she was a paid employee too, but who would have thought that Beitang Yao, the shrewd businessman, wouldn’t pay her wages? He managed the world’s largest corporation; how could he not afford an employee’s salary?
"You eat mine, use mine, live in my place, and still think of asking for a salary?" Didn’t she ever use the bank card he gave her?
Xia Qingqian was pressed by his overbearing aura to the point where she dared not speak. Indeed, everything she had now was because of him. Without him, would she have nothing? Would she even lack the skills for survival?
She lowered her eyelids, her pursed lips twitching slightly in embarrassment. If she didn’t have a salary, what would she use to compensate him?
Beitang Yao walked past Xia Qingqian, went behind her, and yanked up the little rascal who was causing him a crisis, holding him up in mid-air like a puppy.
How could weak Mario be a match for Beitang Yao? As he was being held mid-air by Beitang Yao, he flailed his limbs and pleaded for help from Xia Qingqian, "Sister, save me!"
"Young Master, what are you trying to do? These flowers were all ruined by me; they have nothing to do with Mario." Xia Qingqian’s heart was in her mouth as she reached out, trying to catch Mario. She was terrified that Beitang Yao might let go at any moment, causing Mario to fall and smash to pieces.
"Oh? Is that so? Who was it fighting with the flowers here? Xia Qingqian, you’re done for, daring to ruin my flowers!" Beitang Yao gritted his teeth with resentment. After dressing in his room, he went to her room to find her, and not seeing her there, he went downstairs, only to find no trace of her. That’s when he turned to his study’s surveillance computer to see where on earth she was.
