Dai Xue nodded and took her plate to the recycling area.
Ailex, mentioned by Lan Xin, was the middle-parted, mature woman who had picked her up on her first day.
Although her appearance and facial expressions looked strict, and her personality kept others at a distance, Dai Xue still liked her serious and careful work attitude. She felt that Ailex and she were probably similar types who would get along well.
Not to pursue anyone, Dai Xue simply wanted to catch a glimpse of *oss, so she didn’t think she would face any serious punishment.
Moreover, as a regular employee… after working hard for a few years, she was confident she could become one of the most capable employees! So, it should be fine… right?
The 8th floor, *oss’s exclusive floor, was off-limits to regular employees.
The 8th floor looked spacious, seemingly having only three offices. She didn’t know which office *oss would be in or where Ailex might appear.
This inexplicable nervousness felt somewhat like a scene from a spy movie where the protagonist sneaks into a secret office to find evidence against the villain… She felt like she was about to discover the company’s most secret part.
She had a slight urge to step back because it was so quiet, making Dai Xue feel this might be a trap set by *oss.
“Dai Xue, what are you doing here?”
Ailex’s flat voice suddenly came from behind, startling Dai Xue almost to jump.
“Um… hi… Ailex.” Dai Xue hesitated because she knew that for people like her and Ailex, hiding or lying was not wise.
Dai Xue bit her lower lip and decisively explained, “Sorry, Ailex. I just… wanted to see what kind of person *oss is… I’m sorry, I’ll leave immediately.”
“Oh, you’ve finally come to see *oss…”
Ailex’s reaction was calmer than Dai Xue expected, with a feeling of having known all along. She just slightly raised her eyes and pointed across the way, “*oss is currently having coffee and resting in the office opposite… If you want to go, now’s your chance.”
“…Oh.” Dai Xue was stunned for a moment, while Ailex had already clicked away in her high heels. Recalling Lan Xin’s words, Dai Xue had thought she might be fired, but now… she only had one absurd thought…
