He mocked himself inwardly about how he had seemed to have passed the prime age to get married . His family kept nagging at him to get to know more ladies, and they seemed more anxious than him .
Actually, he was merely 28 this year . But Xuxu and Yueyue were apparently getting worried .
So he decided to simply hire a female secretary this time round . But who was he kidding?
Mixiao didn’t realize that Su Yan was sizing her up, as he was really smooth and discreet . She handed him the two documents in her hands . “President Su, these documents need your approval and signature . ”
Su Yan grunted in response and received them . He placed the documents on his desk and perused them swiftly before signing .
Mixiao continued to speak as he signed . “This afternoon, you have a lunch appointment with Director Wang . ”
“Okay, got it . Any other appointments?” Su Yan nodded as he passed those documents back to Mixiao .
She received it and shook her head . “That’s all . ”
Something struck her and she pressed on . “Earlier on, Miss Ai Ruili called and asked if you are free tonight . ”
Su Yan froze for a moment when he heard Ai Ruili’s name . He sat deep in thought for a few seconds before nodding at Mixiao . “I got it . ”
He didn’t answer Mixiao’s question about his schedule for the evening .
“I’ll take my leave . ” Mixiao hugged the documents against her chest before she offered a polite bow towards Su Yan . She turned around and strode across the room .
The pair of black pumps on her feet, which was about two inches tall, elongated her legs and made them look longer and slender .
As she walked, her pumps thudded softly against the floor . Just like how careful and quiet she was . Her style and disposition had a glaring contrast from Ai Ruili .
Su Yan couldn’t help but turn his head and watch her . He gazed at the petite figure as her ponytail danced lightly .
He felt a sense of quiet contentment as he watched Mixiao . She opened the door and Su Yan suddenly called her . “Mixiao, brew a cup of red tea for me . ”
“Sure . ” Mixiao halted and turned around to acknowledge his instructions .
Su Yan settled himself back on his swivel chair . Minutes later, someone knocked on his door . Then Mixiao pushed the door when he allowed her to enter .
She used her knuckles to push her spectacles as she walked .
This should be her habit, but to Su Yan, she didn’t seem natural at all . It was as though she wasn’t used to wearing spectacles .
But there was nothing strange about this . Perhaps she had just gotten a new pair of spectacles, or his hunch was simply wrong .
Su Yan didn’t read too much into it and threw a swift glance at Mixiao . Then he bowed his head once more .
“President Su, the red tea is ready . ”
Mixiao stood before Su Yan,
“Put it down . ” Su Yan nodded without looking at her .
“Okay . ” Mixiao placed the cup down . When she was about to withdraw her hands, Su Yan raised his head and caught a glimpse of her hands .
Her hands were tiny and fair . But her joints seemed to protrude a little, as though they had been through hardship .
He wasn’t around to oversee the hiring process . He left it entirely to the Human Resource department . So he only knew her name and the university she went to . He knew that she was about to graduate and she applied for this job as an intern .
He didn’t inquire about the rest of her background, including the city she came from or her prior experiences .
He knew nothing about her .
