The office was relatively quiet except for the sounds of a pen scribbling onto paper. Faint rays of the sun escaped into the office through the large tinted glass windows of the office. It shone on the face features of the young man who sat on the chair in the middle of the room. He was Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen stared down at the files on his desk while massaging his throbbing temple. He picked up the ballpoint pen beside the files again and began proofreading and signing again.
A knock suddenly resounded from the other side of the shut door, disrupting the silence in the room.
With his eyes still fixed on the paper in front of him, Lu Yichen called out, "Come in."
The door opened and shut with a click. Lu Yichen soon felt the presence of someone in front of him. He lifted his head and his gaze met with his second assistant's.
The assistant said respectfully, "Boss."
"Yeah? Something wrong."
The assistant, Qin Mo stared at his boss and hesitated to talk. But he knew it wouldn't do him any good to delay the young master.
"Boss, the investigation has ended. I've got the results," he said cautiously before placing a folder on the table.
Lu Yichen looked at him with suspicion swirling in his eyes. He nodded and gave him a wave of dismissal. Assistant Qin Mo bowed slightly and stepped out of the room. Afterwards, Lu Yichen dropped the pen held in between his fingers and opened the folder.
He subconsciously frowned at the sight. They really went all out in stalking him. He had been going through the pictures and files passively but his lips suddenly began to twitch at some point. He looked at the name of the person who ordered the stalking and began to laugh uncontrollably.
'After dumping all the work on my shoulders, this old geezer is so free that he is even stalking me?'
What was his father planning again now?
He was about to place the folder back on the table when a photograph slipped out of it and fell face flat onto the table. He stretched his hand and turned the picture over to lock. His gaze flickered and a look of shock took over his face features for a few seconds before he grinned. They even took pictures of him with Mo Xin Er.
There was a knock in the door once again and his main assistant Jun Sheng stepped in. He called out to Lu Yichen, "Boss."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yichen asked as he placed the folder back on the table calmly. He rested his gaze on Assistant Jun Sheng.
"Boss, there seems to be a problem."
Lu Yichen frowned. "What happened?"
"Ms. Wen who was chosen to be your partner for the banquet tomorrow seems to have an issue."
"What issue?" Lu Yichen asked disinterestedly and he returned his gaze back to the picture of Mo Xin Er and him which was taken in the school hallway.
Jun Sheng hurriedly explained, "She got scalded and there are bruises on her body. She has been hospitalized."
Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows.
"Oh."
"Don't you think it is a little suspicious?" Assistant Jun Sheng asked as he looked at his boss who didn't seem to have any interest in what he was talking about.
Lu Yichen nodded. The girl was fine all these days and she just suddenly got scalded a day before his election banquet. Well, whatever.
Jun Sheng smiled and said, "I think her stepsister is responsible for it. Second Miss Wen has always been vying for your attention."
"I see," he didn't seem to care about the two women. "Just get someone else to do it." He had no idea what those planners were thinking. They even felt that he needed to attend the election party with a female partner. It wasn't like he couldn't function properly without a female by his side. Anyway, they could have their ways. He had no time to argue with those cunning old geezers. Jun Sheng knew how to handle the women.
Assistant Jun Sheng nodded and turned to leave. Lu Yichen returned his attention to the files as he grabbed the pen again. But his gaze couldn't help but flicker towards the figure in the picture.
Could it be…
He hesitated. The door knob was turned and the door slid open. Assistant Jun Sheng was about to leave when he heard Lu Yichen call out from behind him.
"Never mind. I'll handle it."
Assistant Jun Sheng turned around swiftly and his jaw nearly hit the floor out of shock. The boss was going to handle it? Was that possible?
But on second thoughts…
Hehe! Was boss finally coming out of abstinence?
Lu Yichen looked at the assistant. Judging from the smile creeping out of his lips, his thoughts definitely had to be…crooked. He shook his head.
Assistant Jun Sheng's lips quivered as he asked, "Boss, are you finally…getting a girlfriend?"
Lu Yichen was speechless. His assistant's imagination was…
He clicked his tongue and rebuked, "How about you quit working as my assistant and go set up a bookstore. With your imagination, you will definitely sell lots of books."
Assistant Jun Sheng shuddered when he heard those words and he quickly retracted his nosy neck. His boss might seem very gentle and considerate on the surface. He was even tagged as the perfect boyfriend. But not many people knew he was a rascal. He would work their asses to the point of salvation before letting them go home. That was why he was so delighted and happy when he heard that Lu Yichen was handling the matter himself.
If he got himself a girlfriend, wouldn't their lives be more easier. He will personally persuade the boss to go on a date every night, so the could all get off work early. Assistant Jun Sheng was so pleased with his own plan, that he wanted to pat his own back.
