— Ailex, isn’t your *oss secretly in love with me?!!!
☆, Chapter Forty
There are moments in life when you stand before a closed yet openable door, hesitating. Not knowing what’s behind it, but your hands disobey your brain, resting on the door’s surface, wanting to see what’s hidden inside…
In any case, Dai Xue was in exactly this situation right now. Her right palm was already pressed against the door, yet she was still hesitating whether to push it open.
This posture was held for over a minute, and she took a deep breath, actually having the idea of deserting at the last moment… It was all because Alyx’s attitude was too calm, which made her feel uneasy.
However, a certain *oss obviously didn’t think as much as Dai Xue; he just wanted to go to the bathroom, so the door was opened without hesitation…
“…Huh?” “Big… Uncle?”
The two, who always wore glasses during work, spoke simultaneously. Despite being separated by two layers of glass, they could still clearly see the surprise in each other’s eyes. Almost at the same time, both recalled the incident of accidentally taking wedding photos while following Yan Qing and An Qi, and their faces turned slightly red.
“Uncle, you… aren’t the *oss, are you?” Dai Xue moved slightly backward.
Her first reaction to this result was actually to run while catching him off guard! But why? Just because the person who might constantly give her special treatment is an uncle, so her self-esteem was trampled? Hehe, what a joke…
“Um… yes.” Suddenly meeting those clear eyes, Yan Ji inexplicably felt a bit “guilty”.
No, he should stand up straight! Although at first, he found it interesting and let her work here, during this time, her work ability had made him feel both physically and mentally that she was suitable here, and her capabilities were completely fine.
So why should he feel guilty? Yan Ji straightened up and smiled, extending his hand, “Long time no see.”
“…” Dai Xue first reflexively extended her hand, then heavily slapped it into his palm. “I don’t have time to play CEO games, and seeing you might constantly remind me that you’re the *oss, preventing me from focusing on my work… so, I’d better resign…”
“…I’m not playing any games. I just think you’re excellent.”
