Akram laughed till his stomach hurt and then said, "Alif, your a.s.signment is canceled. And I have to reward you for taking me here. I"m really happy."
Alif knew that something happened to Akram while he didn"t notice, but hearing about the a.s.signment was canceled, his eyes shown in happiness.
"Cousin, what made you so generous today?" Alif was curious.
"Something that I have been looking for more than ten years." Akram turned off his iPad and threw it beside him. After that he laid down on the gra.s.s land.
Alif was astonished. "More than ten years…. is that thing more valuable than the woman called Red?"
Alif"s a.s.signment was to look for the woman who became a hot topic in Mu Corporation. His target was to look for Mu Liang"s weakness. After the woman called Red came into the spotlight, his target changed.
"Yes… You can say that…. more valuable product that cannot be bought with money or anything." Akram"s eyes became ferocious as he looked at the sky. "All you need is to tame it."

Inside the car, Mu Liang took Mu Lan"s hand in his. He asked, "What did you plan for the party?"
Mu Lan bit her lower lip. She recalled that The Cobra told her not to meet the guests However, as the mistress of the household she had to meet the guests since they weren"t just guests but also business partners. Not only that, they were the richest in Saudi Arabia. She couldn"t welcome them because of her sickness, now that she recovered, she couldn"t neglect her duty as the head of the household.
Mu Lan answered, "I will arrange the party in the traditional way. We have to thank the guests for staying with us, don"t we?"
"You don"t have to do that much." Mu Liang knew that the traditional party for the guests was a tradition in Mu Family for generations. As the mistress of the household, she had to follow the rules.
"As the head of the household, I have to. That"s normal. I can do it." Mu Lan said confidently.
Mu Liang frowned. He realized that there were some things that Mu Lan didn"t like to do but as her duty she had to do them without complaints. She was doing this for him, for his family.
This thought made him restless.
Mu Liang took her closer and kissed her forehead. "After your cla.s.s starts, what are you going to do about the duties?"
Mu Lan scratched her head and replied. "I really don"t know. I will think about it later."
Actually, she was thinking about it for a while but nothing came up, unless she moved to Italy. However, she loved Paris and their mansion and more importantly, the duplex house which only belonged to both of them. She didn"t like extravagant luxury but only a simple life. Moreover, she didn"t like people calling her Madam Mu. She wanted everyone to call her Lan or Xiao Lan.
However, Mu Lan kept silent. She didn"t want to become a bother for Mu Liang. He pampered her in the sweetest way and she didn"t want to take it for granted. She also wanted to pamper him. Thus, she would keep silent. She couldn"t act more selfishly she already did.
Mu Liang saw her unusually silence, his lips bent down. Both of them were silent for the rest of the journey. Their minds were filled with many thoughts.
After they went to the work, Mu Lan acted as the personal a.s.sistant. For her extraordinary get up and make up, even those who worked under her in the Mu Castle for two days and nights couldn"t recognize her.
Mu Lan smirked. She whispered to Mu Liang, "Look, they can"t recognize me. Aren"t I amazing?"
Mu Liang coughed lightly and said, "Please be on your guard, Ms. a.s.sistant."
He couldn"t deny that he was enjoying it.
"Aye aye, captain… I mean, yes, Mr. President." Mu Lan was having fun.
The heavy atmosphere a few minutes ago was gone.
Mu Liang worked and had a few meetings with the executives, Mu Lan followed him the entire time. The continuous meetings were long and it made her bored. She fell asleep while sitting on the chair.
After the meeting had ended, Mu Liang got up and was about to walk out, then he turned around and saw Mu Lan fell sleep. He narrowed his eyes.
Thee executives were stunned seeing the new a.s.sistant sleeping on her first day work. They wanted to wake her up, but the president was still looking at her while frowning.
Mu Liang"s one of the secretaries in Italy sweated and said, "Boss, please don"t get angry. I will take care of her." She wanted to chew Mu Lan"s head right now. She couldn"t imagine what would happen if the boss got angry.
"Not necessary. She was busy till late night, so she must be tired. She didn"t know that she had to join today. Let her sleep. When she wakes up, tell her to come to my office." Mu Liang didn"t lie at all. She was indeed busy last night.
"…Yes, boss." The secretary was sure that Mu Lan was going to be fired.
However, to their surprise, Mu Liang didn"t leave. There as no way he would leave when his wifey was sleeping in the room which was full of men.
He sat down on the chair again and said, "I have some things to do. You people leave first."
After the executives left with confused heart, Mu Liang put his secretary to guard sleeping Mu Lan and went back to his room. His office was just beside the presidential meeting room. In this room, only he could call for meeting. Without him, no one dared to use this room.
After sleeping for a whole hour, the sleeping beauty finally woke up. She opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar room.
"Good morning, have you slept enough?" A mocking voice came from her left side.
