Due to Su Rou's interference, Lian Shuang was once again rejected. She felt rather dejected. Why was the CEO so doting on his younger sister? How could a girl who hadn't even graduated from college win the CEO's favor? Even if she was his sister, there should be a limit!
"I can't even compare to a little girl..." Lian Shuang looked extremely irritable as she walked out of the office. She had once gone out of her way to curry favor with the CEO's sister, only to find that the girl didn't appreciate it at all. Not only that, she even slandered her!
"Humph!" Lian Shuang snorted coldly. Once she became the CEO's wife, she'd show the girl who was boss!
Inside the office, Su Yuze still frowned slightly in annoyance. If he remembered correctly, he'd been paying Lian Shuang according to the salary of her previous position as his secretary. What? Was she still not satisfied?
Su Yuze looked at Su Rou and found her regarding him with an expectant look. He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Little Rou'er, what's with that look?"
"It's nothing."
"Come here."
Su Rou calmly sat on the sofa sipping tea and ignored Su Yuze's words. Su Yuze raised his eyebrows even higher. "Really not coming over?" He looked at Su Rou playfully. "Think it through?"
Suddenly, Su Rou felt a chill run down her spine. She pouted unhappily, put down her teacup, and walked over. Su Yuze was such a scheming wolf. If she didn't obey him, who knew what he'd do!
Watching Su Rou walk over obediently, he pulled her over. "What's wrong? You look unhappy."
"You must know that Lian Shuang has a crush on you, right?"
"I've sensed it." Su Yuze nodded.
Actually, he didn't even take Lian Shuang seriously. It didn't matter who she liked! As long as she didn't interfere with their lives. "What, are you jealous because of this?"
"I'm not." Su Rou said. "I just wonder why you have to be so handsome?" He was rich, handsome, and gentle. It was no wonder that all women would fall for him!
Back then, when Su Rou didn't know his true identity, she'd already fallen for Su Yuze. It was even more so for those women who had no blood - relation to him.
"Hmm?" Su Yuze kissed her forehead. "Don't you like it?"
"I do, but I don't like it when other women like you too." Su Rou said. Who said only Su Yuze was possessive? Look at his little Rou'er, her possessiveness was no less!
Su Yuze smiled. "How about I wear a mask when I go out from now on?"
"Okay."
"Then I have a suggestion. You should wear one too."
"..."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Su Yuze ruffled her hair. "Alright, shouldn't you be getting to work? Or you could work here with me?"
"Would you be able to concentrate then?" Su Rou glanced at him and then walked out.
...
When Lian Shuang walked downstairs, she noticed some female employees around looking at her with disdain and disgust. This kind of look made Lian Shuang feel extremely annoyed. "What? All staring at me. Do you think I'm pretty?"
"... Oh, come on!" A female employee said disgustedly. "Can you stop being so narcissistic?"
"Heh." To save face, Lian Shuang flipped her hair. "Then why are you all staring at me?"
"We're looking at you to see your defeated expression after being kicked out by the CEO!" The female employee said contemptuously. "Do you think we don't know? You went up to see the CEO to ask for your old job back, right?"
Since Lian Shuang had been demoted from the CEO's secretary to this position, she naturally felt unwilling. After all, such a good opportunity to be close to the CEO was gone. Anyone would feel the same way.
"I... I just went to the toilet." Lian Shuang defended herself. Were these women worms in her stomach? How did they know what she'd gone for? But she would never admit it. It would be too embarrassing!
"Ha..." The female employee gave Lian Shuang a knowing look and then fell silent. Go to the toilet? How absurd. The employees' toilets were on the other side. The direction Lian Shuang had just gone was to the unisex toilet, which was usually used by men for convenience. Women usually went to the staff toilets for cleanliness. Lian Shuang's lie was really lame.
Lian Shuang clenched her fists tightly. The women glanced at her, each with a look of either sympathy or contempt in their eyes, and then lowered their heads to continue working. Instantly, Lian Shuang felt as if she was the only one in the office. Did it mean they were ostracizing her?
Hehe, ostracize her all they wanted. Do you know what this behavior was called? Jealousy. They were jealous that she had once been the CEO's secretary! Once she became the CEO's wife, they'd all come to flatter her!
Thinking like this, Lian Shuang swayed her hips and sat down at her seat.
Lian Shuang looked at the computer in front of her and frowned. Now... how could she find a chance to get close to the CEO? Currying favor with Su Rou was definitely out of the question. That little girl clearly hated her. So... she had to find an opportunity to get close to the CEO.
If she wanted to see the CEO, she had to wait until Su Rou was not around!
"Lian Shuang..."
Right, otherwise, Su Rou would surely give her a cold shoulder!
"Lian Shuang..."
Oh yes, the CEO already had a girlfriend, right? She had to find a way to track down that woman!
"Lian Shuang!" A female employee came over with a stack of documents. Seeing Lian Shuang in a daze, looking as if she was lost in thought with an expression that alternated between happiness, worry, and determination, oh my god, what was wrong with this woman?
The female employee's voice was so loud that it startled Lian Shuang. Her ears were ringing. She glared at the female employee and pushed her roughly. "Are you crazy? Do you have to shout so loudly when you call someone?"
After being pushed by Lian Shuang, the female employee lost her balance for a moment and staggered backward. All the documents in her hand scattered on the ground. "Ah—"
"Xiaofang, are you okay?" Someone nearby stepped forward to help the female employee named Xiaofang up and looked at Lian Shuang disapprovingly. "Why did you push her?" What bad manners!
"Oh, it's okay for her to shout at me?" Lian Shuang dug at her ears. Her ears were still ringing. It was clearly that woman's fault!
"Who told you to be daydreaming? Xiaofang had called you several times!"
They finally saw through Lian Shuang. She was one person in front of the CEO and another in front of them!
