“Xiaoxiao, this dress suits you very well. It’s beautiful,” Han Zhen said in a low voice as he held her small shoulders in a chivalrous manner.

The intimate gesture made everyone gasp. When Han Zhengming heard the word “Xiaoxiao,” the comers of his eyes twitched. He gave an exasperated snort and tured to leave.

Everyone was silent.

“What was going on? The crown prince hugged his junior assistant on the spot, but the chairman did not lose his temper and left without a word?” they thought.

After Han Zhengming left, Han Zhen let go of Xiaoxiao. His gentle face suddenly turned serious and cold. Slowly, his gaze swept across the secretary’s office and he said, “It seems that some people are dissatisfied with the work arrangements.”

Gao Xiaoxiao blinked while the rest lowered their heads. They had mixed emotions but did not dare to say anything.

Han Zhen put his hands in his pockets and continued coldly, “It’s best if you are not feeling dissatisfied. If I find out that some people are gossiping behind others’ backs, I will fire them, regardless of who they are!”

With that, he walked away confidently while Gao Xiaoxiao felt very conflicted.

“Wherever there are people, there will be politics and strife, let alone a group of conniving women,” she thought.

Working relationships had been cordial in the past year, but it seemed that the peace was about to be shattered.

Sure enough, as if there had been a secret conspiracy, the women soon brought a lot of documents to Gao Xiaoxiao for her to photocopy. In addition, Lisa, who sat at the next desk, said with a smile, “Xiaoxiao, can you go downstairs and buy me an iced mocha? No sugar, thank you.”
Gao Xiaoxiao was agitated by the documents and was about to go out for a walk. Recalling that she used to help buy coffee anyway, she stood up and said, “Okay.”

“Twant an iced latte. No sugar.”

“Twant a cappuccino with sugar.”

“T want…”

The women immediately grabbed the opportunity to order her around.

Not long after Gao Xiaoxiao left, the landline phone on her desk suddenly rang. Lisa picked up the phone. “Hello, this is Han Tai’s secretary’s office.”
‘There was a pause on the other end, and then Han Zhen said unhappily, “Where’s Xiaoxiao?”

“.. Young Master Han?” Lisa was so scared that her heart skipped a beat. She could only lie and say, “Xiaoxiao went to the toilet. She’ll be back soon.”

“Tell her to come in and see me in 10 minutes.”

“Alright, Young Master Han.”

After putting down the phone, Lisa frowned, feeling a little regretful and uneasy.

Ten minutes passed and Gao Xiaoxiao did not return. However, Han Zhen came out and walked around. He looked at her empty desk and went back to his office with a dark expression.
After a while, Gao Xiaoxiao’s mobile phone, which was on her desk, rang again. As no one picked it up, it rang continuously.

Secretary Zhou had no choice but to pick up her phone. The caller 1D was ‘Flirtatious boss’.

She frowned but picked up the call. “Hello, I’m sorry. Xiaoxiao isn’t around now…”
Before she could finish, the receiver was hung up.

Secretary Zhou looked up at the CEO’s office with a thoughtful expression. “Was it… Young Master Han she wondered.

Thirty minutes later, Gao Xiaoxiao finally returned slowly with the takeaway bag, “Sorry, I can’t remember what coffee you wanted. I bought the original flavor. Make do with it.”
Everyone was silent.

Although they were unhappy, they could not say much. All they could do was take the coffee.

“Little Xiaoxiao, Young Master Han was looking for you just now,” Secretary Zhou said.

Gao Xiaoxiao nodded and walked towards the CEO’s office.
