CHAPTER 39

After Cheng Xiao left the HR, she went and arranged Xu Kai's schedule.

"Look at her coming back." She heard the whisper but ignored it.

"Yeah, I mean was she trying to show off that Mr. Xu would bring her back." Another one snickered.

"She's nothing but a showoff." Another one said. 

Cheng Xiao listened to all the words they said but said nothing. What would she get out from going to pick a fight with them, wouldn't they just say that she picked on a fight when she knows that Xu Kai won't punish her. 

This was why she didn't even want this marriage, if they were to find out that she and Xu Kai were married she would listen to these taunts every day. All she had to do now was try to find someone that would replace her as his secretary so she can no long be in the same space as him.

It was bad enough that she lived with him now, she saw him at the house and now had to spend all day with him. All she could hope for now was that he doesn't come and call her to come and have lunch with him.

"Cheng Xiao it's lunch time." Shen Mu came to call her, but mostly she couldn't wait to hear everything that happened.

"Okay let me just tell him." She said pointing at his office.

She stood up and knocked three times before entering.

"Sir I am going out for lunch, is there anything you need." She said and asked him if he wanted her to bring him his lunch.

"Eat with me." He said not taking his eyes from the screen.

"What?" She asked closing the door.

"I am your husband, so you have to eat with me." He said as a matter of fact.

"Right now, you are my boss, and I came to inform you." She shouted softly.

"You used to eat with me before." He said lifting his head to look at her.

"Yes, that was before but now I can't afford to have lunch with you." She said turning to leave.

"Isn't rude to speak to your husband like that." He teased.

"Xu Kai please mind yourself." She warned.

"I like it when you call me by my name it sounds so natural." He said teasing her once more.

"You're hopeless!" She said and opened the door and left.

Cheng Xiao walked to Shen Mu that was waiting for her. "I'll never forgive!" Cheng Xiao said when she reached her.

"I know but for now let's go and eat. I am starving!" Shen Mu said wrapping her arm around Cheng Xiao.

They went to their favorite restaurant and sat down.

"So, what happened?" Shen Mu asked.

"Didn't I tell you what happened yesterday?" Cheng Xiao asked.

"Yes, but I need you to go more into details." Shen Mu said placing an order.

"And you think that I'll tell you of all people?" Cheng Xiao asked reminding her that she was still angry regarding the passcode that she gave that led to this dilemma.
