nShe pushed the door and entered the suite. The bedroom door was ajar, but Yan Rusheng was nowhere in sight.

nThe painful lesson from yesterday’s incident had occupied a significant space in her mind. She abruptly stopped, left the watermelon juice on Yan Rusheng’s desk, and hastily left.

nThe next morning, Flourish & Prosper’s president jilted award winning-actress Ouyang Qingqing for a young model. They were seen coming in and out of a grand hotel in town. This scandal occupied the headlines of all tabloids, entertainment magazines, and forums.

nToday was Flourish & Prosper’s monthly executive meeting and the elderly Chairman was present too.

nAn hour later, the meeting was still underway.

nWen Xuxu was right outside the conference room and she paced to and fro in front of the windows.

nFlourish & Prosper’s standard work attire for female employees: white shirt, wine red skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of 5-inch high heels.

nShe had silky waist-length hair tied in a ponytail which resembled premium black silk. Her bangs covered her eyebrows, and she wore a pair of black spectacles which hid half of her face.

nBehind the transparent lenses, her perfect apricot-shaped eyes shone brightly and were as clear as crystal.

nHowever, anxiety was visible in her eyes.

nShe glanced at her watch and the look of anxiety on her face intensified. “It’s already six p.m., why are they still inside?”

nShe mumbled softly and raised her head again in the direction of the conference room.

nThe door opened at the same moment and her heart leaped with joy. A smile could be seen from her eyes and her mouth was curled upwards.

nThe conference room doors opened, an old lady nearly in her seventies appeared first. She was wearing a dark purple dress paired with a pearl necklace. She looked elegant and poised.

nThe elderly lady walked out of the conference room and came to a halt. She looked at Wen Xuxu with a sharp gaze.

nWen Xuxu’s insides shuddered slightly. She smiled and greeted promptly, “Chairman.”

nWith hurried footsteps, she walked towards her.

nAll of a sudden, the old lady frowned and sighed. “Sigh . Xuxu, can you persuade him to behave? If he refuses to change his old ways, I won’t be able to pacify the Board of Directors so easily.”

nWen Xuxu felt ashamed.

nShe was merely a secretary with no power over her boss.

nShe deliberated carefully and replied, “I believe President Yan knows his limits.”

nThe elderly lady’s expression darkened upon hearing her response. She retorted angrily, “He couldn’t care less! Today he has a fling with a model, tomorrow with an actress. This is infuriating.”

nThe corners of Wen Xuxu’s mouth twitched. Actress …

nAll of them were currently the hottest and most popular celebrities.

nShe patted the old lady’s back to soothe and console her. “Chairman, calm down. This proves that President Yan is charming and attractive. You should be happy.”

nWen Xuxu finished her sentence and pressed her lips tightly together, as if speaking against her conscience would hurt her tongue.

n“Sigh, don’t talk about him any further.” The old lady waved her hand to change the topic. “Come over for a meal this weekend. I learned how to cook two new dishes recently, they’re delicious.”

nShe looked at Wen Xuxu with a kind smile.

nWen Xuxu nodded and smiled. “Sure thing.”

n“Xuxu…” The old lady was about to say something when Yan Rusheng and a few others came out of the conference room.

nWang Daqin’s expression darkened once more when she saw her grandson.
