Chapter 4: Mr. He's Thoughts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Apart from you and me, Mr. He has two other assistants. Lily is on sick leave and Andy hasn't returned from his business trip, so you might be busy for a while. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me directly."
Martin was a young man, about 26 years old. He wore a pair of glasses and looked elegant and knowledgeable. Ning Yao immediately had a good impression of him.
"No problem. My name is Ning Yao. You can just call me Vera." Ning Yao gave him a friendly smile.
Obviously, Ning Yao did not know how attractive her smile was to men. Even though Martin had a good sense of self-control, he was still momentarily stunned.
"Alright, I'll show you around the company. By the way, your desk is-"
"Mr. He just told me to work in the cubicle opposite his office." Ning Yao interrupted Martin politely.
Martin was a little surprised. "Really? Then... we shall just do as Mr. He says. "
Martin had never heard of Clarence making such a request, but who could guess what the boss was thinking?
He didn't think much of it and took Ning Yao around the company, introducing her to his colleagues.
The company was considered quite new and most of the employees were young. This made Ning Yao a little more comfortable as she greeted everyone in a friendly manner.
After she was done, she returned to Clarence's office.
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still nervous when she thought about having to work facing her boss.
She knocked on the door and entered the room only to see that Clarence was still working on some documents.
The man's skin was very white as he was bathed in the sun. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, making him look as beautiful as a painting.
She suddenly felt that it was a good thing to be able to watch such a handsome man for free while she was working.
After she sat down, she took out a small yellow duck from her bag and placed it on the table solemnly.
This little duck was her lucky charm. She had always brought it with her since she went to university.
'Little duckling, please bless me with a smooth life in my new company!'
She was praying with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard the man's playful and curious voice. "What is this?"
Ning Yao opened her eyes and saw Clarence leaning back in his chair, looking at her and her duckling with great interest.
Wasn't the boss working? Why was he paying attention to her and her duck?!
"This is my lucky item." Ning Yao explained awkwardly.
She was expecting Clarence to laugh at her naivety after she explained, but to her surprise, he merely nodded his head and commented. "Your religion is quite special."
After the short conversation, Clarence continued to work. Ning Yao couldn't help but think that the boss wasn't that hard to get along with. Maybe she had misunderstood him...
Since her boss was working so seriously, Ning Yao did not dare to be lazy. She proceeded to go over the complicated documents in her hands with the serious attitude she usually had when she was preparing for the end of the semester.
Soon, it was almost noon. Clarence looked at his watch, then slowly stood up and looked at the girl sitting opposite him.
It was indeed different to have a wife watching him. The morning had passed by so quickly.
Ning Yao thought that Clarence had been working hard all this time, but in fact, he was the one who was slacking off. His eyes had never left Ning Yao.
It was as if he wanted to make up for all the things he had not been able to observe about her all these years.
"Let's have lunch first. We'll get busy in the afternoon." The man looked at the girl, who was so busy that she did not even look up from her work. He could not help but bear a grudge against Martin in his heart. 'How dare he assign so many tasks to his little darling? He was finished!'
Martin sneezed hard in his office.
Ning Yao looked up when she heard Clarence's words. "Lunch? Are we going to eat...together, Mr. He?"
Would the boss eat with his employees? Was he that easy to approach?
"Oh, I didn't mean it that way. But since you've said so, let's go together." The man raised his chin arrogantly as if he had reluctantly agreed to eat with Ning Yao.
Ning Yao thought to herself, 'Are you misunderstanding something...?'
Ning Yao stood up and was about to leave when Clarence waved at her. "Come with me to the private elevator."
Ning Yao was a little excited. She was surprised that the President's assistant had such a benefit. 'It's great that I don't have to squeeze in the elevator with others!'
