“Miss Xiao Ling, please go directly to the 36th floor to the CEO’s office. The president is waiting for you.” The receptionist, following orders from above, guided Luo Yaling to the VIP elevator.
Luo Yaling suppressed her laughter, quickly stepping into the elevator and pressing the button. As the door closed, she finally burst into laughter, looking as if she had lost her mind.
No, she couldn’t be too pleased with herself. What if there were cameras? It was best to calm down, Luo Yaling thought.
The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Luo Yaling took a deep breath, patted her chest for encouragement, and stepped out.
Xu Chu watched the scene, looking at her with a playful expression. As she exited, he also left the monitoring room.
When Luo Yaling stepped out of the elevator, she saw a handsome man waiting.
“Are you Xiao Ling… Miss Xiao?” he asked.
“Yes, that’s me. And you are?” she replied.
“I’m the CEO’s secretary – Xu Chu.” He looked at her with amusement and guided her on her path.
A male secretary? Aren’t they usually women? Why is his secretary a man? Can he be gay? Doesn’t like women? Hmm… maybe he’s special. Luo Yaling noted to herself as she walked alongside Xu.
She didn’t realize when Xu stopped and bumped into him.
“Ouch~~” she rubbed her nose.
“Miss Xiao, are you okay?” Xu asked.
“I’m fine, fine, hehe!” she replied. Not fine at all. Why didn’t he say something when he stopped? Ouch… it hurts.
“That’s good! The CEO is waiting for you inside. You’re not hurt. Please go in!”
Secretary Xu wanted to remind her of something but quickly changed his expression, shaking his head with a gleeful look of anticipation.
Luo Yaling felt an ominous premonition but pressed on and adjusted her emotions before mustering the courage to knock on the door.
Chapter Seven: Meeting
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
“Come in.”
“Sit.” He didn’t look up, focused on his documents.
Upon entering, Luo Yaling saw a man absorbed in his files, unable to discern his appearance. Before she could speak, his commanding tone made her obediently sit and wait.
