I wonder how Secretary Ying did it

The hand around Ying Yue's waist felt hot to her, and she gently pushed him away with an annoyed look.

"We're at work. You should still keep some distance."

Fei Huangjin gave her a look that said he didn't care. "This is my company."

"And you should be professional," she admonished.

The numbers climbed higher, and the air inside the lift was getting stuffy and uncomfortable to Fei Huangjin, making him adjust his tie. There was only the two of them inside the metal encasement and he could smell her citrusy scent as if he was breathing on her skin. It made his hands itch to grab her.

It was a wonder how he managed to act calm.

Finally, the doors opened to his floor and Fei Huangjin hurriedly walked out, half-pushing Ying Yue out of the lift with him.

She glanced at him, raising her brows.

Later that morning, she stacked a pile of documents on Fei Huangjin's desk and left him to his work. She headed to the staff lounging area.

Everyone was talking about her, there was no doubt about it. It was obvious with the way the other women whispered when she passed by and the way the men elbowed each other when they saw her.

Ying Yue ignored them. She was sure many were thinking that she'd slept with the boss, just like how most of the cliché gossips went, but she never seduced Fei Huangjin like that and she wasn't after his money.

Moreover, she hadn't even slept with anyone before. So she wasn't worried at all.

She stalked over confidently to the women's toilet, her heels clicking on the tiled floor. Thankfully, no one was there.

However, just when she finished flushing the toilet, a group of other female employees came in, their voices loud and sharp against the echoing restroom.

"I wonder how Secretary Ying did it."

Ying Yue could make out the voice of one of the secretaries on her floor. It sounded a lot like the chief finance officer's secretary.

"You know how that bitch is always distant from us, refusing our invites, acting all high and mighty just because she's the CEO's secretary? Well, I heard she's a college drop-out."

It was true, she rarely accepted invitations to go out. But that was because she had to work at Juyan at night.

"OMG! Really?"

"How did she even get hired?"

"She's kinda pretty. Maybe she slept with someone from HR."

Several of the women whined and made taunting remarks about Ying Yue. She couldn't help listening in with a mocking smile. It was actually quite funny to hear them talk about nonsense.

"Ugh, who's in the toilet? I really need to pee."

Since the cubicle was occupied, they continued chatting among themselves.

Suddenly, an idea popped in Ying Yue's head, and she snickered silently. She took out a knife and a small concealable screwdriver from her purse and skillfully made a few adjustments to the toilet controls, swapping the "flush" function with the "high-power bidet." It didn't take her long and she finished tinkering with it in a minute.

Being a spy had its perks, after all. She made a mental note to thank Big Boss for forcing his agents to take electronics and robotics workshops.

She held up a hand to cover her mouth, suppressing the laughter that was about to bubble out.

"I swear if I see that woman, I'm going to ask her if he drugged CEO Fei or got naked in his office to seduce him."

The women outside were getting noisy again, and so Ying Yue stepped out of the cubicle with a bright smile. "You can ask me now."

"Secretary Ying…"

The women grew silent, lowering their heads, embarrassed to be caught talking behind her back. Some of them shuffled out, not wanting a confrontation. But the one who wanted to ask her a question stayed, looked her up and down, vilifying her in her head.

Ying Yue stopped at the mirror to fix her hair and retouch on her makeup. If Ying Yue wasn't mistaken, that woman was indeed the CFO's secretary, Yu Lingling. They'd crossed paths a lot of times during meetings and when handing over documents.

She always seemed like a nice girl. It was true that looks could be deceiving.

Yu Lingling crossed her arms on her chest, unintimidated with Ying Yue's nonchalance. "So which one is it, Secretary Ying?"

Ying Yue paused with combing her hair and winked at the girl. "Would you believe me if I said neither?"

The other woman scoffed in reply. "Someone like you couldn't hook up with the CEO without playing dirty tricks on him."

She smiled, resuming with combing her hair. "If you say so." Ying Yue didn't have time to argue with shallow women like her. She wondered what the woman would say if she told her it was Fei Huangjin who kept pushing for a date.

"He'll dump you in no time." Yu Lingling said with a flick of her hair. She turned and slipped into the cubicle.

Ying Yue just smiled.

A minute later, while she finished up with applying lipstick, she could vaguely hear the other woman finishing up her business and fixing her clothes.

But instead of being followed with a flushing sound, there was the sound of strong water getting sprayed all over the cubicle and Lu Yingying's horrifying screams.

What a wonderful sound.

Ying Yue walked back to her office happily, humming a tune.
