Sean Chan as instructed, walked Tia to the private elevator exclusively used by CEO Lee. He was also instructed via text that he must be atleast 1 person apart from her, he cannot look nor speak to her aswell.
'Wow, I can't believe this lowly Team Lead manage to seduce and get on with CEO Lee's good side. Must be good being pretty.'
With the amount of meticulous and detailed instruction he received from his boss, he can't help but speculate about their relationship.
Ian wanted to personally escort Tia and even deliver her home just to be sure that she's safe and comfortable.
But his got tons of work to deal with. And the short free time he has have already been used.
He can't slack off and delay his projects but his mind kept drifting and he can't focus at work.
He checked his phone and do a double take in Tia kinkstagram profile.
Tia got home safe and sound. Fortunately, the streets in S City was not congested in the afternoon, and with her address location, it only took a full 10-minute drive from her office to her apartment so there were no long awakward silence between her and Secretary Chan.
As soon as she stepped into her humble abode, she rushed to her bathroom and took a cold shower.
She roughly scrubbed her arms, her legs then her whole body she felt so dirty whenever she remembered Manager Qin's eyes.
After an hour, her body now was flushed red from all the hard scrubbing. She went out and dried herself and checked herself in the mirror.
She looked at her reflection and helplessly said,
'Im sorry, It's not your fault that were different from the social norms. It's not like we wanted to be this way.'
Then her sight fall upon the old teddy bear in the far corner of her shelf.
She picked it up, then hugged the bear tightly. She can't remember when did she receive the stuffed toy, but she had an inkling feeling that it was a valuable and priceless possession.
She have had it with her for so many years, but she can't quite remember if her mom was the one who gave it to her.
Before whenever she's down and sad, she will hugged the bear tightly and she will felt relieved and safe.
She gently lay down to her bed, still hugging the teddy bear she softly said.
'Mom, did you send him earlier to help me? It has to be you, right? You're always looking out for me. Thank you.'
She then closed her eyes. And maybe due to exhaustion and mental breakdown she immediately fell asleep.
