Michelle took a deep breath, then knocked steadily at the wooden door.
"Come in." The indifferent yet familiar voice allowed her access.
Verdan Zhou was browsing through a business proposal when he heard the knock. Not thinking too much into it, he did not confirm the person through the intercom.
However, his brows twitched when he heard heels clicking against the wooden floor.
He looked up just in time to meet her nervous eyes. There was a subtle surprise in his eyes which was gone in an instant.
Nevertheless, since Michelle had worked for him long enough, she caught this reaction and became more anxious. Can she get her job back? It has been weeks since she had the accident. Though physically weak, her mind never faltered. She believes that she could still do this job. She was just hoping that the CEO could take her back into the office.
Noticing her expression, Dan sighed. He pressed on the intercom. "Liu."
After waiting for several seconds, he repeated his call. "Liu. Are you there?" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Outside the office, Liu Fei Long had just come from the restroom when the annoyed voice of his boss sounded through the intercom.
He dashed, to the point of diving into the inner side of his desk from behind, bypassing the piles of papers and folders around his desk.
"CEO! Yes! Yes, I'm here." He took a deep breath. "Wha-t can I do for you?"
"Get into the office."
Liu Fei Long immediately complied. He was surprised to see a woman standing before the CEO.
He had only gone to the restroom, and a woman barged into his boss's office.
He was mortified. "I...I'm so sorry CEO." He gave Dan a 90-degree bow. Then he turned to Michelle. "Miss, thank you for being a fan, but our CEO is busy at this time, could you give him some time?" It was the generic statement to turn fans down.
Dan glared at him. Not only did he fail to note a visitor, he actually mistook his senior as a crazy fan.
"Before you say anything else. Do your research."
Liu Fei Long shuddered.
"Now, get out of my sight."
Before this fresh graduate new assistant even applied for the job, he had heard rumors about the 'silent killer' that was CEO Zhou. However, this was the first time he felt that the rumors were true.
He dashed towards the door and quickly shut it behind him.
Dan's expression turned gentle after the new assistant left.
"Michelle Park. It's been weeks. How are you doing?"

Midori's eyes squinted but remained peeled as the fist brushed near her hair.
To their surprise, the first was caught by a fair hand and slender fingers.
"I will not let you ruin even a sheet of paper in this house." Aoi Xiu was firm and the strength she applied on her hand was domineering.
Masaichi never intended the punch to land on his sister. It was directed towards the wall behind her. This was just a small attempt to scare her and to make his point of being upset.
This is also why Midori seemed fearless of the quick and strong fist of the Igarashi clan heir. She trusts her brother so much that she would not even dare dodge a bullet if he chose to pull a trigger while aiming at her.
"Niisan, we're sorry about hiding things from you." she admitted the mistake. It was useless to argue that they are not sure about the information.
It would be actually up to him whether to deem it as the truth or not.
Masaichi's fury settled down as he nodded.
As Aoi Xiu and her daughter heaved a sigh of relief, his next question almost shook the earth.
"So, whose child are you carrying?" He eyed Midori's abdomen, well hidden by a baggy sweater.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
