At that moment, the General Manager's assistant, Jolie, was complaining to someone nearby, "Working in our industry is really just a facade; it looks glamorous on the outside but is a mess inside. Look at me, I've only been with the company for a year, and my wrinkles are appearing faster than my mother's. I'm on call twenty-four hours a day, and every man I've broken up with believes I'm having an affair with the BOSS."
Jolie lifted her head, gazing sorrowfully at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle, sighing, "I wish I were having an affair with him. A rich second-generation like him would offer a breakup fee that’s either a villa or a luxury car. Alas, it seems he’s more interested in men."
"Ha ha—ha ha—" Jolie glanced at the woman who had choked on her milk and chuckled dismissively. "But thinking of you makes me feel better; after all, someone as ruthless as General Yin..."
Jolie shook her head, unable to continue. She pulled out her phone and leaned in mysteriously to ask, "Hey, isn’t General Yin abroad? Why is he coming out of our BOSS's apartment so early? Do you think their affair has been going on for a long time?"
"Pfft—" "Eddy!"
Ye Guiwen snatched the phone and looked closely, her face turning pale instantly. "W-when was this taken?"
"Yesterday! I delivered some documents to the BOSS and ran into him at the door."
"Yesterday?!" Ye Guiwen was even more shocked. "Isn’t he supposed to be in Europe for half a month? How did he come back so soon?!"
Jolie shot her a sideways glance. "You're his assistant; if you don’t know, how would I?"
Ye Guiwen stared at the phone in silence for a long time, while an ominous feeling surged from her heart.
She felt a jolt of realization and started frantically rummaging through her bag. Just as she found her phone and quickly dialed a number, the elevator doors opened with a ding.
Jolie turned around and felt her legs go weak. Ye Guiwen looked up and froze in place.
The man had already stepped out of the elevator, while Ye Guiwen remained dazed and motionless. Fortunately, Jolie reacted quickly and approached him, bowing slightly as she greeted, “General Yin, good morning.”
Yin Yanhe walked straight ahead without glancing at her as he passed by Ye Guiwen's desk. However, he stopped outside the office and turned his head to ask, “What are you still standing there for?”
Ye Guiwen maintained her phone call posture, completely oblivious that he was speaking to her. It wasn't until Yin Yanhe finally turned around and looked at her coldly that she shivered and replied, “Good morning, General Yin!”
Yin Yanhe's expression changed: “Get in here!”
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut; it seemed the leader was angry.
Jolie shot her a sympathetic glance.
At that moment, Ye Guiwen's call connected, and a lazy female voice came through from the other end: “What’s up? It’s so early…”
Ye Guiwen swallowed hard and said honestly, “It’s bad news; the creepy boss is back early!”
Ten minutes later, Yin Yanhe scanned the room before his gaze landed on Ye Guiwen.
Seeing her trying to sneak away, he tapped the table to call her back: “Eddy, stay and take the meeting minutes.”
“Oh.” Ye Guiwen obediently sat down next to him, opening her notebook and readying her pen.
Yin Yanhe gave her a complex look before turning away to say, “OK, let's start the meeting. First, I’ll discuss the situation in Europe. Then the GM will report last month's sales. Next…”
Ye Guiwen felt a jolt of surprise as she glanced at her talkative superior. Yin Yanhe seemed to sense her gaze, turning slightly to shoot her a cold look that seemed to say, "What are you up to now?"
Quickly, Ye Guiwen lowered her head to take notes, putting on an expression of utmost seriousness. Finally, her boss turned his attention away from her.
And so, an hour passed, then two hours, three hours… an entire day went by…
Ye Guiwen returned home, holding her stomach. Mama Ye caught sight of her daughter and couldn't help but chime in, "Your belly has gotten bigger; you really need to lose some weight. In my opinion, you should be wearing plus sizes."
Seeing her daughter looking dejected, Mama Ye hesitated to continue but then leaned closer and asked, "What kind of job are you doing? You leave earlier than the roosters and come back later than a lady of leisure. Are you dating someone?"
Ye Guiwen shook her head honestly. Mama Ye was somewhat skeptical; her daughter had always been simple-minded and straightforward in both speech and action. What if she scared off some man?
No, she decided that she needed to keep a closer eye on things. Just as Mama Ye turned to ask for the address of her daughter's company, she realized that Ye Guiwen had vanished from sight.
