Mich.e.l.le took a deep breath, then knocked steadily at the wooden door .
"Come in . " The indifferent yet familiar voice allowed her access .
Verdan Zhou was browsing through a business proposal when he heard the knock . Not thinking too much into it, he did not confirm the person through the intercom .
However, his brows twitched when he heard heels clicking against the wooden floor .
He looked up just in time to meet her nervous eyes . There was a subtle surprise in his eyes which was gone in an instant .
Nevertheless, since Mich.e.l.le had worked for him long enough, she caught this reaction and became more anxious . Can she get her job back? It has been weeks since she had the accident . Though physically weak, her mind never faltered . She believes that she could still do this job . She was just hoping that the CEO could take her back into the office .
Noticing her expression, Dan sighed . He pressed on the intercom . "Liu . "
After waiting for several seconds, he repeated his call . "Liu . Are you there?" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice .
Outside the office, Liu Fei Long had just come from the restroom when the annoyed voice of his boss sounded through the intercom .
He dashed, to the point of diving into the inner side of his desk from behind, bypa.s.sing the piles of papers and folders around his desk .
"CEO! Yes! Yes, I"m here . " He took a deep breath . "Wht can I do for you?"
"Get into the office . "
Liu Fei Long immediately complied . He was surprised to see a woman standing before the CEO .
He had only gone to the restroom, and a woman barged into his boss"s office .
He was mortified . "I . . . I"m so sorry CEO . " He gave Dan a 90-degree bow . Then he turned to Mich.e.l.le . "Miss, thank you for being a fan, but our CEO is busy at this time, could you give him some time?" It was the generic statement to turn fans down .
Dan glared at him . Not only did he fail to note a visitor, he actually mistook his senior as a crazy fan .
"Before you say anything else . Do your research . "
Liu Fei Long shuddered .
"Now, get out of my sight . "
Before this fresh graduate new a.s.sistant even applied for the job, he had heard rumors about the "silent killer" that was CEO Zhou . However, this was the first time he felt that the rumors were true .
He dashed towards the door and quickly shut it behind him .
Dan"s expression turned gentle after the new a.s.sistant left .
"Mich.e.l.le Park . It"s been weeks . How are you doing?"

Midori"s eyes squinted but remained peeled as the fist brushed near her hair .
To their surprise, the first was caught by a fair hand and slender fingers .
"I will not let you ruin even a sheet of paper in this house . " Aoi Xiu was firm and the strength she applied on her hand was domineering .
Masaichi never intended the punch to land on his sister . It was directed towards the wall behind her . This was just a small attempt to scare her and to make his point of being upset .
This is also why Midori seemed fearless of the quick and strong fist of the Igarashi clan heir . She trusts her brother so much that she would not even dare dodge a bullet if he chose to pull a trigger while aiming at her .
"Niisan, we"re sorry about hiding things from you . " she admitted the mistake . It was useless to argue that they are not sure about the information .
It would be actually up to him whether to deem it as the truth or not .
Masaichi"s fury settled down as he nodded .
As Aoi Xiu and her daughter heaved a sigh of relief, his next question almost shook the earth .
"So, whose child are you carrying?" He eyed Midori"s abdomen, well hidden by a baggy sweater .
