Chapter 138 She Handles It Perfectly

"That's not necessary." Ye Sijue smirked and said confidently, "She can do a good job. Just wait and see."

The director hesitated and made no more effort to justify his point.

He mumbled inside. 「I've not seen a CEO that looks so pretty. It's all about the charisma, not the looks. Someone who's young and lovely will never be able to portray that well. This is literally testing my patience and skills.」

Ten minutes later, Hóngmó opened the door to the CEO office.

Grinning, she introduced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our CEO, Ms. Mu."

The director scoffed without lifting his head. 「With that face, she's more suited to act as a beautiful secretary instead of a CEO… We'll probably have to make a lot of post-production editing to get that desirable effect.」

He was still adamant and did not bother to pay any attention to Mu Xia when he heard the photographers surrounding him sang praises about her beauty. "You look amazing!"

「It's already a known fact that Xia is good-looking. However, we're shooting a CEO. There must be something more than meets the eyes.」

However, the chattering grew louder.

"How attractive! What an imposing look!"

"That's right! This is my first time seeing how a girl with long hair could look so cool in a suit!"

"Ms. Mu is a born model, isn't she? She is what she wears and she can basically be any character. If she enters the entertainment industry, she'll definitely put all the actresses to shame."

"Oh my gosh, I'm tearing up! She's exactly how I envision a CEO to look like. I hereby declare that Ms. Mu is my husband, no one should compete with me."

Following the discussions, the director was utterly lost for words.

The team is aware that Mu Xia is Ye Sijue's friend, the one whom he has shown extra favor upon. 「There isn't a need to exaggerate and butter Lord Sijue up though he's in our boss, is there? I want to see with my own eyes what Mu Xia looks like as a CEO.」

As the director slowly lifted his head and casually gazed at Mu Xia…

Mu Xia's hair was tied up neatly into a simple ponytail. Her eyes were cold yet sharp while her brows were slightly knitted together as if she was thinking about a big project.

Mu Xia looked dapper in a black suit. The dress pants accentuated her long legs, giving an illusion of her towering height. 「She looks just like a domineering CEO!」

The director gaped in disbelief!

「How… How is this possible?」

He could not believe his own eyes; rubbing them again and again to give himself a reality check. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Xia walking toward him.

At that moment, he felt an overwhelming and intimidating presence engulfing him.

「It's not my imagination. Mu Xia does have a domineering presence, unlike most females. Her aura is comparable to Lord Sijue who's standing next to her.」

There's no wonder Ye Sijue was so certain that she could play the role well. When she gets serious, she can take up any role!

「Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a sweet-looking girl that usually depicts a standard image of a secretary could act so well as a cool and domineering CEO!」

The director's hands trembled as he came into realization of what Mu Xia was capable of.

「I've underestimated her. I should grumble no more!」

Ye Sijue gave her a once-over and curled his lips upward.

「Xia… never disappoints me.」

He turned to seek the director's opinion. "Do you believe me now that she can handle the role?"
