"Good morning, Sir,"
The two secretaries gave a soft bow before Jin, who had just stepped into his office.
"Good morning," he nodded. "Are the files on the Sisi project ready?"
Secretary Zhi said, "Yes, Sir. I have already kept them on your desk."
"Okay."
"Sir," Secretary Wu checked the tab for the emails. "There is an email from Wang Tianhui's team."
"The politician Wang Tianhui?"
"Yes, one of the regional party members."
"What does he want?"
"He wishes for Liu Corps to sponsor an international fashion show here in Beijing."
"He should go to Uncle Jing for that."
"But the mail for you, Sir."
Jin raised his brow. "It is his son only right who is making headlines regarding the cheating scandal."
They nodded.
Secretary Zhi said, "They are planning to launch his daughter for her modeling debut."
"So it's for her career?"
"It seems so."
Jin smiled with disdain. "Don't bother replying to their emails. Liu Corps won't sponsor any fashion show. Certainly not to cover up the public's attention from his son's unethical deeds while simultaneously also paving the way for his daughter's career. Hitting two birds with one stone? Crafty one he is."
"Understood, Sir."
Jin made way to his office when his gaze fell on the opposite room, finding that Alix was already present.
He blinked and looked at his secretaries. "I am quite early myself. When did she arrive?"
"She is done changing."
"I refuse to peep into a woman's bedroom."
"What about Shui's?"
A deadly laser beam glare immediately came her way. But he quickly looked back, thinking that the video was still on.
"Mind your words or you are free to find another office accommodation," his gaze darkened.
Alix chuckled. "Just kidding. You can turn now. I have closed the video."
Jin moved his head by just a fraction of an inch and noticed that she had indeed shut it down.
"But my efforts won't. See, this is why she comes up with stupid ideas and I come up with smart ones."
"When will you get the smart idea to leave from here and return peace to my life?" He dryly asked.
"Hmm," she tilted her head, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Maybe when I see a woman sweeping you off your heart and feet~?"
"So never," he dryly remarked.
"You are so pessimistic, Liu Jin," Alix rested her chin on her palm with a frown.
He wryly smiled. "I have not done many good things in life to be optimistic."
Alix stared at the faint glint of guilt flashing by his eyes. It was only momentarily which passed away as soon as it came.
Jin turned to leave.
"Now you be good and just stay in your office here. Do not bother me or even turn your head in my office's direction."
She innocently blinked. "What if you get into some trouble and only I can be your knight in shining prince? As a helpless princess, you should weigh your words before you speak."
His teeth rattled against each other in rage. "Just be quiet!"
And he exited with a bang on her door.
Alix arched her brow and she whispered to herself.
"Sometimes I don't like how similarly pessimistic we both are. Neither you see any light at the end of the tunnel nor do I..."
