"Don't" Mrs Feng said.

"Just focus on the next release" Alice agreed with her mother in law.

"Why ?" Josh asked.

"Marketing strategy. so next time they will more interest in your product" Sean said.

Josh nodded with agreement, he remembered how few customer just came and had a look for many time before decided to buy one.

"Sister in law, where were you for the last two days ?" Josh asked, Alice was left earlier than usual.

" Just went somewhere with mum" Alice answered.

On monday, Nick drove Alice off as usual before went to his office. He got an unexpected call, it was from Mr Yamaguchi.

"Boy, are you coming to Japan this december"

"Yes. with my whole family.

"Good. Coincidently We are also be there. Come to our hometown"

"But, it will be six of us"

" Not a problem at sll. Get the flight to Osaka and we will arrange transport here"

"I need to discuss it with my siblings first"

After Nick ended the call, he called Sean. They both agreed to accept the elders offer, so He called Alan about the changed. Alan decided to stick with the initial plan to fly on Christmas day after he had lunch with Richardsons Family.

Then He made his self busy with the ticket preservation changes.

Alice arrived in her shop and did some arrangement before hired a taxi to got to Nick office. It was a surprise visit.

When She arrived in the office it was nearly 11 o'clock, she met and aske the receptionist to see Mr Feng. The receptionist who was also his secretary was new. She replaced Cacha who helped Alice in her shop.

"I am sory, Mr Feng is busy. Please make apportionment first" The receptionist said impolitely and sneered to Alice before left her.

She tried to call her husband on his mobile phone but it was busy all the time. So she just stood there waiting for him.

"Sister in law, what are you doing here ?' Sean tapped her shoulder.

"I want to see Nick. But the receptionist said he is busy. His phone is engage all the time" Alice looked very tired.

Sean took his phone and dialed Nick office line. Nick was just about to have lunch when his phone rang.

"Bro, your wife is waiting for you outside. Your Secretary is really a bully. I'll fire her if I was you" Sean hung up the call.

Nick was angry when he heard what Sean said.

He called her secretary to his office "I need you to come to meeting room in 5 minutes" then rushed to see his wife.

Alice was with Sean who accompanied her until Nick was there.

"He's here. I am going to my office first" sean winked and left them.

"Sory Honey. Next time, please call my land line if my mobile phone is busy" He wrapped his arm on Alices' shoulder and guided her to his office.

"I don't know your land line" Alice pouted.

"Sorry" Nick took her wife phone to save his number.

" Who is she ?", " is he boss girtfriend ?" the new employees whispered to their senior. As They saw his boss walked intimately with a pretty lady. Alice nodded and smiled as she notice people stared at her.

"Oh.. she is our lady boss" one of the first employees that Nick hired said. They kew Alice as they met her once early of the year.

The secretary face was paled when she heard what her senior said "Wife ? is boss married ?". Like most the employee, she didn't know that the boss was a married man. She was fancied Nick and tried her best to impress him to get his attention.

"Darling, I'm here because I want to . have lunch with you" Alice hugged her husband as soon as they were inside his office.

"Give me 10 minutes. Just wait here, ok ?"

he went out from his office and went to meeting room where the secretary was waiting for him Nick glared at his secretary fiercely "This is my first warning, I hope you can show me your professionalism".

"But, She didn't mention that she is your wife"

"What about if she was not my wife but our client ? if it didn't ruin the business, at least it ruin my company reputation. I agreed to hire you because your cousin is my old friend. If There is any more inappropriate behaviour, I am sory but I can not tolerate you any more". Nick left the meeting room and went to his office to fetch his wife.

"Guys, I am off for the day. If there is any problem address it to your team leader. Team leader can reach me oh my phone. I need to remind every one to show their professionalism in the work place " He made a short goodbye speech and left.

All eyes were on the secretary, and they shook their head helplessly. They pretty much knew what had happened.

"She finally tasted her own medicine, She is arogant eventhough she is only here for few weeks"

"She tried to court boss since she join us"

Some of the staff sneered at the culprit.

"Gosh, Lady boss is very pretty. No wonder boss never pay any attention to any wowan"

"Ah.. I am brokern heart. I tought he is still single"

"Boss is awesome"

" They are a perfect match"

"One of our friend who closed with the couple said that boss parent doted his wife"

The emplyees gossiped about their boss during their lunch break.
