"Focus on organizing the letters," Xiao Yuan's voice suddenly rang out, startling me so much that I almost jumped.
Looking up, I saw that the Lord Commander had somehow moved beside me, looking down at me from his elevated position. "This Official will be watching you closely."
Why did that sound both threatening and ambiguous? Never mind, never mind. The first rule of survival in the workplace: don't overthink things; focusing on work is what matters!
But... why was he standing so close? That faint scent of pine was intoxicating...
"Lord Commander," I cleared my throat, "if you have other matters to attend to, you can go ahead..."
"What?" He raised an eyebrow. "Do you find This Official bothersome?"
"No!" I quickly shook my head. "I just think... it's too much for Lord Commander to watch a Little Palace Maid sorting documents."
"Bothered?" He chuckled lightly. "This Official finds it quite interesting."
"Since Lord Commander is so concerned," I had a sudden idea, "how about I demonstrate the specific categorization method for these letters?"
Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
I cleared my throat and began to apply my modern management principles. "For example, these are important matters that need immediate attention, so they go at the front. These are routine affairs that can be sorted by urgency..."
"Wait a minute," Xiao Yuan interrupted me. "Your categorization method is... quite unique."
"Is it?" I forced a smile, feeling guilty. "It's just something I came up with."
"Came up with?" He seemed thoughtful. "This Official finds it quite reasonable. You’ve considered the urgency; this kind of thinking... doesn’t seem like something an ordinary palace maid would come up with."
Oh no, he suspects me again! Just as I was about to explain, the Sixth Princess suddenly spoke up: " Commander Xiao, what do you think? Let her try managing my document room?"
"Princess!" I was both shocked and delighted. Wasn't this the legendary opportunity for promotion?
Xiao Yuan frowned. "Princess, this is a serious matter; she's just a newcomer..."
"Precisely because she’s new, she won't have old habits," the Sixth Princess smiled. "Moreover, I think she has some good ideas."
I stole a glance at Xiao Yuan and saw him hesitating to speak. That expression... it looked a bit like our company leaders when they spotted a key talent.
"Then let’s give it a try," he finally said. "However..."
He turned to me, his gaze piercing. "This Official will personally supervise your work. You will report to me every morning at the hour of the rooster."
"So early?" I instinctively complained.
"What's wrong?" he raised an eyebrow. "Are you used to working at night?"
No! I just thought I could sleep a bit longer in the morning... Wait, how did he know I was used to working at night?
I looked up to meet his probing gaze and suddenly realized I had let something slip again. But Xiao Yuan simply replied with a soft "Hmm," "Then report back during the hour of Shen."
This... this is accommodating my schedule?
"Thank you, Lord Commander, for your consideration." I quickly bowed.
"This official just thinks," he turned his face away, his ears slightly reddening, "that it's... quieter at night."
The Sixth Princess stifled a laugh beside us. " Commander Xiao is rarely this gentle."
"Princess!" Xiao Yuan rarely showed any signs of embarrassment. "This is... for work efficiency."
Work efficiency? That excuse is way too flimsy! I scoffed internally; this Lord Commander’s lying skills are even worse than our interns!
"Ding! The male lead is using work as an excuse to get closer to you!" the system chimed excitedly.
"Shut up!" I mentally shouted. "This is clearly a normal work arrangement!"
"Then why are you blushing?" the system teased.
I instinctively touched my flushed face. No, no, no! Rule number one in the workplace: don't read too much into special treatment from your superior!
At that moment, Xiao Yuan suddenly said, "Since we've decided, shall we... start now?"
I looked up at him and found he was also gazing back at me. In that instant of eye contact, the faint scent of pine wafted over again.
This man... does he really want to supervise the work, or is there something else?
Never mind, never mind! Focus on work! I shook off the chaotic thoughts in my head and began to seriously organize the documents. But... why does he have to stand so close?
