The boss's woman

"So Miss Yu. . ." Assistant Chuan began, but Chen interupted, "Chen is fine."

"So. . .Miss Chen." Assistant Chuan spoke. Chen sighed but didn't say anything.

"Miss Chen, why were you disguised all those times I saw you?" he asked.

Yu Chen rubbed her nose and said, "Well, you see. I did not want to go public with our relationship."

"May I ask why?" Assistant Chuan asked cautiously, the last thing he wanted was to offend the boss's woman.

Chen laughed as she finished her water, "Don't be so formal with me. I'm not your boss. I'm just a simple girl. And of course you can. Well, the fact of the matter is that I just returned from abroad a few months ago after completing my studies. I'm still largely unemployed now.

But, I'm thinking of starting a small business here. And I don't want to go public with my relationship until I'm established and able to stand on my own two feet."

Chen finished and bent down to scratch behind Oreo's ear.

Assistant Chuan was deep in thought. Either this woman in front of him was a very honest and sincere woman or a gold digger that was too good at acting.

"Umm, Miss Chen? Can I ask you one last question?" Chuan spoke, wondering if he was crossing his limits.

Chen straightened up and nodded.

"How long have you. . . how long have you and President Xi been dating?" Chuan finally mustered up his courage and asked.

Chen giggled and held up seven fingers.

"Seven months!!!" Xing Chuan exclaimed.

Chen shook her head, "Seven years. Well I was essentially in London for the majority of the period but we've been in love for that time....."

Yu Chen rambled on but assistant Chuan's thoughts were somewhere else.

This woman, Yu Chen, had been dating his boss for seven years!! They both must have been in high school at that time.

"Hey Chuan!! You okay!?!? Xing Chuan!!!!" Xing Chuan was brought out of his thoughts by Yu Chen's voice.

He looked up and nodded.

Yu Chen smiled and got up. "I'm going to make lunch. Do you want anything specific?" she asked.

Assistant Chuan immediately shook his head, "Oh no. I'm afraid I cannot stay. I have to go back to the company."

Chen put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow, "You won't listen to me, will you? Ok. Come on."

Saying this she led assistant Chuan to Xia's room and walked in.

Xing Chuan stood at the door unsure of what to do. Chen walked upto Si Xia and patted his shoulder. Xia looked up and his eyes immediately melted.

"Yeah?" he asked with a smile.

"Your assistant is bullying me." Yu Chen complained with a pout.

Xing Chuan: "....." When did he do anything?

Si Xia: "Really? Chuan, you're fired."

Xing Chuan: "..." Was this woman the devil herself?

Yu Chen was immediately horrified and spoke, "What!?!? Are you crazy!!! How can you fire him just like that??!!!"

Si Xia looked up confused, "You said he was bullying you."

Chen slapped her forehead and spoke, "Please don't take my words seriously. At least until I say your full name before a sentence."

Xia tilted his head in confusion and looked at Xing Chuan. "What happened?" he asked.
