Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser Chapter 1218 - Captivating Woman

Chapter 1218: Captivating Woman

As the two took the elevator to the first floor of the company, a.s.sistant Zhu was very nervous when he thought of how Fourth Madam Qi had deliberately provoked the little lady boss just now. He wanted to explain things to her, but he thought of how the boss had personally gone to the meeting today, and how Fourth Madam Qi had personally brought that woman over yesterday.

Although his boss was as cold and unreasonable as ever, he clearly treated the other party differently. No, it shouldn’t be said that he treated her differently; it should be said that there seemed to be something about that woman which caused people to have a very good impression of her.

a.s.sistant Zhu remembered the first time he saw that woman. She was indeed beautiful, and there was something about her which made people want to get close to her.

a.s.sistant Zhu had seen a lot of the world and had seen all sorts of beautiful people. Now, he judged people by their worth as a person. No matter how beautiful the other party was, a.s.sistant Zhu could remain calm.

But the first time he saw that woman, he realized that he actually wasn’t wary of her and had the urge to speak to her, which was too scary.

He had always been on good terms with the little lady boss, but when this woman deliberately approached his boss, he actually had the thought that she was a good match for his boss, which scared him witless.

Only after this woman left did he return to normal. The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt this woman was.

a.s.sistant Zhu was quite worried that his boss would be bewitched by that woman, and he was also afraid that the little lady boss would lose out. In addition, his boss had been a workaholic in the company lately, so he very much suspected that there had been some conflict between his boss and the little lady boss recently.

As a.s.sistant Zhu thought this, he carefully glanced at the little lady boss next to him, but didn’t dare ask more questions. He was conflicted for a long while; he wanted to tell her that there was something strange about that woman, but without evidence, it wasn’t good to say anything.

Moreover, at the thought that his boss had personally gone to have lunch with that woman, a.s.sistant Zhu felt guilty on his boss’s behalf and was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between the boss and the little lady boss.

He wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

While a.s.sistant Zhu was feeling conflicted, Chi Shuyan took in his expression. “What’s the matter?”

a.s.sistant Zhu gritted his teeth and suddenly said, “Little Lady Boss, how about we don’t go out, but wait for the boss at the company? I’ll take you to his office. Fourth Madam Qi definitely won’t dare go there and make things difficult for you!”

Chi Shuyan said expressionlessly, “If you’re busy, a.s.sistant Zhu, tell me where Qi Zhenbai is. I’ll go myself!”

How could a.s.sistant Zhu dare let the little lady boss go on her own? He hurriedly said, “No, no, no, Little Lady Boss, I’ll go with you!”

The boss had gone to a restaurant close to the company.

Under the little lady boss’s sharp gaze, a.s.sistant Zhu could only drive the car out. Chi Shuyan sat in the pa.s.senger seat, and there was silence in the car.

It was Chi Shuyan who asked, “Has it been busy in the company recently?”

a.s.sistant Zhu was focused on driving and on the fact that they were going to ‘catch the boss in the act,’ so he didn’t think much of it and replied honestly, “No, everyone has been clocking off on time recently. Xu Xudong and I are the busiest, and it’s rare for the boss to let us get off work early! We’ve been a little free recently, however, though we might get busy again in a few days!”

After saying this, a.s.sistant Zhu quickly added, “Little Lady Boss, don’t tell Boss I said that!”

Otherwise, his boss might really think that he was very free. It would be tragic if he had to work overtime; he could probably kiss his several days of approved leave goodbye then.

Chi Shuyan nodded and was silent for a while before she asked, “Has your boss also been free recently then?”

a.s.sistant Zhu was stumped, but he didn’t think much of it as he said, “He’s definitely busier than the rest of us, but there hasn’t been much happening for the boss recently!”

a.s.sistant Zhu keenly sensed that as soon as he said that, not only did the atmosphere in the car change, the little lady boss’s calm expression also changed slightly. It was just that the little lady boss was very quick to restrain her emotions.

The little lady boss’s expression had clearly frozen for one moment at his words, unless he was seeing things.

Wait, did he say something wrong?

a.s.sistant Zhu couldn’t help but think of how it seemed that the boss had been spending all his time at the company these past few days, as if he were avoiding someone. Wait, did the boss and the little lady boss really have a conflict?

Then, hadn’t his words just added fuel to the fire?

Thinking this, a fl.u.s.tered a.s.sistant Zhu almost stepped on the gas instead of the brake. It was the little lady boss next to him who reminded him to step on the brake and to calm down.

a.s.sistant Zhu: …

Because it was the little lady boss in the pa.s.senger seat, a.s.sistant Zhu didn’t dare be careless. It was fine if something happened to him, but if something happened to the little lady boss, his boss would definitely kill him.

a.s.sistant Zhu drove seriously after that. On the way, he kept wanting to change his explanation and say that his boss had been especially busy. Unfortunately, he had already spilled the beans. Seeing that the little lady boss wasn’t someone who was easy to coax and fool, a.s.sistant Zhu could only swallow his saliva and cry without tears.

Chi Shuyan’s face was as indifferent as ever. She looked out the car window and didn’t speak for a long time.

a.s.sistant Zhu looked at the little lady boss’s ‘calm’ face and felt even more uncertain.

The venue for the boss’s meeting wasn’t far from the company, and they arrived in about ten minutes. a.s.sistant Zhu was preoccupied with his thoughts as he drove, and it wasn’t long before they arrived at the high-cla.s.s restaurant.

As a.s.sistant Zhu drove into the restaurant’s parking lot, he became more and more nervous. As for what he was nervous about, only he himself knew.

After parking the car, a.s.sistant Zhu saw the little lady boss staring blankly out the window in the pa.s.senger seat, and he prompted her, “Little Lady Boss, we’re here!”

a.s.sistant Zhu said it a few times, but didn’t get a response from the little lady boss. He immediately felt that something was wrong and wondered what the little lady boss was looking at so intently.

He followed the little lady boss’s gaze to the full-length windows of the restaurant, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Who else could it be but his boss?

Apart from his stern and imposing boss, the appearance and smile of the woman sitting opposite him could also be clearly seen.

a.s.sistant Zhu really wanted to curse. What kind of luck did they have?

No, he should say, what kind of luck did the boss have?

The boss actually chose such a seat.

The gentle and charming woman said something with a smile, and the boss’s thin lips curved up. Then, a.s.sistant Zhu saw his boss thoughtfully pour a cup of water for the woman, causing her face to blush prettily.

For a moment, a.s.sistant Zhu didn’t dare look at the little lady boss’s face, nor did he dare imagine how unsightly her expression might be.

a.s.sistant Zhu originally thought that the worst of it had pa.s.sed.

Unfortunately, he was slapped in the face not long after. Under the table, the woman’s foot touched the boss’s leg a few times.

The restaurant had full-length windows, and they were in a good, close parking spot which gave them a clear view of the scene.

a.s.sistant Zhu cursed this woman in his heart for being shameless. His boss already had the little lady boss, so he thought his boss would reject her sternly or keep his distance.

That was his boss’s usual style. His boss had never liked to come in contact with other women, and was very cold and aloof toward them. a.s.sistant Zhu waited for a long time, but he didn’t see his boss do anything to avoid the woman at all.

Although his boss’s stern face was as scary and unsmiling as ever in the face of the woman’s coy behavior, he didn’t show the slightest rejection.

This was completely what it meant to ‘not respond but not refuse either.’ As an outsider, he felt that his boss’s att.i.tude toward that woman was definitely intriguing and a bit ambiguous, let alone what it looked like in the eyes of the little lady boss.

It was over!

Something big had really happened!

This time, a.s.sistant Zhu really didn’t dare look at the little lady boss’s face. He thought that she would get out of the car and rush in immediately.

After a long time, however, the little lady boss only looked at him expressionlessly from the pa.s.senger seat. He snuck a peek at her face, and it was scarily even calmer than before.

a.s.sistant Zhu still wanted to give an explanation, but remained mute. What could he say, with the truth right in front of them?

“a.s.sistant Zhu, drive. I will have to trouble you to send me back to the university!”
