Chapter 65 At The Hotel

Mu Xia's cheeks heated up. She covered her nose and let out an embarrassed cough before saying, "I shall take a hot shower then."

After returning to the country, she didn't work out every day. As she had also suffered on the uninhabited island back then, her body wasn't as strong as before.

Ye Sijue's lips curled up subconsciously when he saw how awkward Mu Xia was.

The moment he realized he was smiling, he hurriedly pursed his lips.

Soon, they arrived at the nearest hotel, which happened to be owned by Ye Group.

As Ye Sijue had his personal suite in every hotel under Ye Group, he brought Mu Xia straight to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.

"They will deliver your clothes soon. I'll wait for you outside," he announced as he made himself comfortable on the couch with a tablet in his hands.

His brows were knitted up as he clicked on the tablet in all seriousness as though work was troubling him.

Mu Xia never expected that Ye Sijue would stay right here.

She felt extremely uncomfortable. This was the first time someone of the opposite sex was in the room while she took a shower.

Still, as Ye Sijue was clearly busy working, it was unreasonable for her to express her discomfort.

At that thought, Mu Xia spun on her heels and entered the bathroom without a word.

She had no idea Ye Sijue was clicking randomly on his tablet and only snapped back to reality when an "input error" message popped up on the screen.

Heaving a breath, he lit a cigarette before inhaling deeply. After a few puffs, he finally managed to tamp down his irritation.

Suddenly, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

"Damn it," cursed Ye Sijue. He rose to his feet hastily and headed out.

At the door, he bumped into the P.A., Iris, who was holding a bag of clothes.

She immediately greeted him timidly. "Y-Young Master Ye."

Ye Sijue glanced at her and inquired, "Were you the one who called me?"

Iris nodded nervously.

When she saw how Xiao Wei Sangqi told Mu Xia to shoot the rain scene countless times, she recalled what the person in charge of Midnight Coffee Café told her and made the call.

To her shock, Ye Sijue was the one who arrived at the scene.

Ye Sijue was saying, "You don't have to return to Ye Entertainment anymore as you'll be working with Xia from now on."

Iris was shocked. "Young Master Ye, are you dismissing me?"

Ye Sijue was confused. "Huh? From today onward, you'll be working under Ye Group, but your job scope will remain the same. Give me a call if you come across a problem you can't solve."

He whipped out his business card from his pocket and gave it to her. "Here's my contact number."

Utterly delighted, she thanked him profusely. "Thank you so much, Young Master Ye!"

"Don't just keep my business card. If I find out she's being mistreated, you shall be fired."

"Yes! I'll take care of Ms. Mu!" Iris promised earnestly.

"Well then. You can head in now. I'll be waiting in the lobby."

"Yes, Young Master Ye!"

Iris hopped into the suite happily.

She knew that Mu Xia was her only hope. If Mu Xia succeeded, she would succeed as well. Otherwise, she would end up being the second Xiao Wei Sangqi.

Meanwhile, Mu Xia was done with her shower. Her clothes were wet, and she couldn't put them on. Uneasily, she wrapped a towel around herself.

「Young Master Ye said the clothes will be here soon, but I don't hear any commotion out there.」

「Should I go out wrapped in the towel?」
