“CEO Ji, your coffee . ”

She quickly pushed this thought aside as she reached his table and placed the coffee on it .
Keeping his hand phone, the man frowned at her .
Why is this dumb woman suddenly so polite with me?
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave your office now . ” She lightly pursed her lips first before she informed the man sitting in his black leather chair of this .
Who was this annoying fellow with on the phone just then? It seems to be a woman; could it be the woman he likes?
“Mhm . ” The man’s brows twitched . Still, he could not say anything else as her expression was indecipherable .
She promptly turned to walk toward the door at his response .
“Wait . ” She was about to step out of this stifling office of his when the man called out to her from behind .
She quickly halted her steps .
“CEO Ji, is there something else?” She turned to ask him .
“You…” Noting that she was quite a distance away from him and was standing upright formally, he paused slightly before he hesitantly asked the question in his mind .
“Are you angry?”
Is this dumb woman angry? But… Why is she angry?

Feeling her heart skip a beat at his question, she hastily moved to refute it .
“I’m not . Why should I be angry?”
“Oh . ” Even though she had given him a resolute reply, his eyes still held some suspicion as he regarded her . “Accompany me to a dinner banquet after work today . ”
“Mhm-kay . ” Without a second’s hesitation, she readily agreed to his order .
He was made uncomfortable by her response; he could not get used to the fact that she easily agreed to this .
He raised a hand and lightly picked up the coffee she had brewed for him .
“Then, CEO Ji, I will leave now . ” She informed him once more with a polite smile .
“Mhm . ”
He nodded and then placed the cup to his lips to take a sip .
The instant the coffee entered his mouth, his face froze .
With a stroke of luck, she witnessed the change in his expression .
His eyes widened infinitely and his expression soured . Quickly putting the cup down, he showed an oh so pitiful look . It was as if he had just suffered the greatest shock of his life .
She was unable to stifle her laughter in time at the sight .

“Pffft!” Ha ha ha!
All the negative emotions swirling inside her instantly dispersed at his indescribable expression . In fact, it improved her mood considerably .
“Pei Ge!” Forcing himself to swallow the sickeningly sweet drink, he glared hatefully at the woman who was laughing aloud .
However, the moment his gaze registered her brilliant smile, he forgot what he wanted to say and could only stare dazedly at her .
He gazed at the smile on her seemingly common-looking face; it was a smile that was incomparably beautiful, radiant, and contagious .
“CEO Ji, slowly enjoy your coffee! This little one here will take her leave now!” Pei Ge did not notice the abnormality in him . Throwing him a sly smile, she quickly fled the office .
Only after she had left the room did he recover from his bewitched state over a ‘beauty’s smile’ .
“That d*mn woman, why would she smile so beautifully for no reason…” he cursed softly .
His mind was now filled with images of her radiant smile .
When his gaze rested on the cup before him, though, his mind promptly cleared up .
His face darkened again as he regarded the offending cup, which was still filled with steaming coffee .
This is definitely the worst coffee I’ve ever tasted – definitely the worst!

“That d*mn woman must have done it on purpose!” He gnashed his teeth as he regarded this coffee, which could be likened to demon food .
Have I been treating that stupid woman very well recently for her to dare treat me like this?!
I must properly educate that impudent woman at home tonight!
Pei Ge was unable to control what he was thinking right now .
Still, nothing could dampen her upbeat mood at the moment .
She felt that she could laugh at his frozen expression for years .
Ha ha ha!
She happily hummed a tune under her breath once she got back to her seat .
Her happy mood lasted all the way to lunchtime .
“Sister Pei Ge, you’re finally back to work!”
At exactly lunchtime, before a certain Mr . CEO came out of his office, his cousin appeared first .
When Qin Qitong appeared before her, she beamed with happiness .
“Let’s go, Sister Pei Ge! Let’s go for lunch!”
“Mhm-kay!”
Regrettably, a certain busy and hardworking Mr . CEO’s cousin cut in the line!
When he finally exited his office, he was dumbfounded at what he discovered .
“Pei Ge, I—”
Opening the wooden door to the CEO’s office and moving to speak, he came to realize that the woman was no longer in her seat .
He eyed the empty seat and his brows knitted together as his face turned cold .
“CEO Ji, are you looking for Pei Ge? She left before it’s lunchtime . ” Lu Huiya, who was still there, took this chance to talk sh*t about the other .
However, the moment she said that, Wang Ningning exposed her lie .
“Huiya, that’s not right . She left on the dot . She didn’t leave early . ”
Lu Huiya felt as though she would die from anger at her remark .
However, her anger instantly died down when she received the man’s sharp glare .
Turning to look at Wang Ningning, he asked coldly, “Where did she go?”
“Oh, I think she went off with the Planning Department’s Qin Qitong,” she politely informed .
Hearing his cousin’s name, the man’s face instantly turned dark .
Is that lass’s internship almost over? Should I kick this lass back to uncle’s company?
