"My G.o.d, that would have been so hilarious, who would have thought Senior Xu would be so cruel." Controlling her laughter Zhi Ruo spoke. "I wonder if he was the same in his university days" said Han Mi while imagining her boss in his university days
Thinking something Zhi Ruo added, "I had seen senior Xu in his university days, as much as I can remember he was always a gentle person. Even in university he used to get many confessions but never had he rejected them with so much cruelty. I still remember once he rejected a girl with utmost gentleness. Senior was so gentle that the girl had started to cry and felt guilty for proposing him."
Surprised from such revelation Han Mi"s mouth widened and she said, "I never thought he would be gentle but......"
"It seems my staff is enjoying the entertainment provided by their boss" came Senior Xu"s voice.
Quickly getting up from their seat"s both the ladies turned around and greeted him,
"Boss" "Senior Xu"
"It seems you already made a new friend, no need for me to worry then.
(Gesturing both ladies to sit)
Sit Sit, you can gossip....afterall it"s a women"s best friend and best hobby.
(Walking towards the coffee making s.p.a.ce)
I just came here to take my coffee, I will give you both s.p.a.ce to gossip." saying so Senior Xu left with the coffee and a smile on his face.
...
Inside Senior Xu"s office,
"How is it going?"
"I thought she would not be able to fit in the environment, but surprisingly, she has already made a new friend and was happily gossiping about me a and that dumb secretary." said Senior Xu.
"Heheheh, seems you are disappointed, afterall if she has a friend, won"t it reduce your chances of going closer to her?"
"It"s your delusion." said Senior Xu while looking at his coffee cup...
"Delution.... hahahahha
Say"s who? hm?
The one who bought the coffee cup which she touched and is still drinking coffee from it, even now while looking at it and smiling in his heart while reminiscing about the time when she touched the cup." came the voice with a laughter and mocking tone
"If you are done with your nonsense focus on your work." said Senior Xu in a irritated tone.
"Okay, okay. I am going. Take care of her and yourself as well."
Disconnecting the call Senior Xu kept looking at the empty seat where Zhi Ruo would be sitting while drinking his coffee.
.....
After some time, Zhi Ruo came back to the cubicle after spending some more time and gossiping with Han Mi about random things.
Surprisingly Zhi Ruo liked the vibe that Han Mi spreads. She is a simple lucky to go girl who has a cheerful personality with no harm to anyone and no maliciousness in her heart. Her eyes were clear and her heart was as soft as a child"s heart. Specially her ability of not been able to keep things in her heart fora long time. Within no time Zhi Ruo felt quite attached to her and felt happy talking to her.
Organizing her thoughts after a break Zhi Ruo made some more points.
Looking at the watch she realized that it was already lunch time, but no one was moving.
Wondering if there was something wrong, she slided her chair towards Han Mi and asked her in a low voice,
"Its already lunch time, why is no body going for lunch?"
"It"s rude to go for lunch before your boss, we all are waiting for Boss to take his lunch break." said Han Mi while rubbing her stomach and looking towards Senior Xu"s office.
"I am hungry." said Zhi Ruo looking at her lunch box with a sad face
"Mee too" came the voice of Li Xiaoli
"Count me in as well" spoke Zhou Ruihan.
Thinking for quite some time Zhi Ruo said, "Let me try sending him for lunch break."
Hearing this, everyone in the office started looking at her with bright s.h.i.+ning eyes and encouraged her to take the lead.
Gathering her courage for her and everyone"s empty stomach Zhi Ruo took a deep breath, grabbed the file and knocked on Senior Xu"s office door.
"Come in" spoke Senior Xu without lifting his head from the file he was reading.
Noticing someone coming in but not speaking anything, Senior Xu raised his head and looked at the person.
Quickly getting up from his chair he asked, "Zhi Ruo, what happened,, Do you need something?"
Trying to maintain her courage, Zhi Ruo spoke, "I had a question and a request."
"Yes yes, go ahead." said Senior Xu
