In the coffee room, at the tenth floor.
The sound of machine echoed in the empty room.
The door opened to a group of girls. There were about ten of them. When they saw the person inside they were all taken by surprise. They had never seen that face before.
"Excuse me, who are you?" One of the girls asked.
Yuxi raised her head up, "Hi, I'm the new assistant assigned to..."
"Oh!" Another one interrupted. "A new slave. Make us coffee and get us snacks." The girl said and they relaxed on the chairs provided for those that don't take their coffees to their offices.
"She's quite a beauty, I wonder who her master is." One of the girls murmured.
Yuxi smiled. Am I meant to do that? I might not be a social freak, and I might have never worked for a celebrity but I'm sure I'm not meant to do this.
"I'm really sorry to say. I'm running late already on an errand."
The girl that had asked for their coffee to be made eyed Yuxi. She stood up and strode towards Yuxi. She was five inch taller than Yuxi and towered over her. "What did you just say?"
"Hey newbie, that's Linda you are talking to." One of the girls shouted from the table.
Yuxi smiled, she might not be able to defend herself from crazy fans but that doesn't mean she can't fight off this lanky girl. She turned and lifted the tray of two cups of coffee and snacks.
Yuxi made sure to avoid the girl and headed straight to the door. The lanky girl was surprised, and the rest of the girls mouth dropped in shock.
"Whoa! Who does she think she is?"
"Who is this new little bitch?"
"She sure is gutsy!"
The girls whispered amongst themselves.
"Hey!" The lanky girl yellled out.
Oof. Why did I have to meet with so many troubles, on my first day of work?
"Stop there!"
Yuxi halted but didn't turn around.
The girl angrily stormed towards Yuxi. "You are just a new slave here. Don't try to act all high and mighty. Get back and make coffee for us!" She commanded.
Yuxi chose to be quiet.
"Oh my," the girl raised her hand to hit Yuxi... But it felt like a force was holding her still. She looked down to see that Yuxi transferred the tray to her right hand and held hers tightly in her left.
"What are you thinking of doing?" Yuxi's eyes turned dangerous. She looked like a nightmare with those black pupils. She now looked different from the girl they had questioned some minutes ago. "I'm sorry, but I'm on an errand and can't really help you. Yes I'm well aware of the fact that I'm a junior. So please pardon this junior. I promise to make coffee for y'all, but probably next time." She smirked after saying her piece, she pushed the door open and strode out.
Some of the girls rushed towards the door.
"Are you alright?" One of the girls asked as the lanky girl held onto her hand like she had almost lost the most important thing in the world.
"Linda?" Another called.
"Yes, yes. I'm okay." The girl answered. That girl isn't what she claims to be.

Chu Feng: "I told you we shouldn't have sent her. Now who knows if she got herself in trouble or she missed her way around this big company..." Immediately the door opened and Yuxi took large steps towards the table.
She prayed silently that the coffee hadn't gotten cold.
"Are you alright?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, I am." The look of worry in his eyes surprised her.
"Are you sure you are alright? Like you didn't meet anyone out there?"
"No. I bet everyone must be busy." Yuxi answered.
"Oh yes, it might be the reason. Everyone's schedule is full for this week." Chu Feng said then took the two cups of coffee and served one to Qiangshen.
Qiangshen took a sip and his entire expression changed. "Tueh," he spat it out. "What is this? Coffee or sugar?"
Chu Feng immediately took a sip to confirm. Now he's acting... C'mon man the coffee tastes creamier than the ones that has been served to you all the time.
"Chu Feng, brew me a cup of coffee." Qiangshen commanded.
Chu Feng's expression turned livid. Now you crave my coffee? I had offered to make it but you blatantly rejected my help.
Chu Feng wished he could say all his inner thoughts so this moron would hear him, but no he wouldn't dare it. Qiangshen might be that cute, handsome and dashing star his fans knows but inside... He's a devil.
He left to go make the coffee.
After sometime a knock was heard on the door, and it opened slowly.
"Oh you must have thought I forgot," The woman smiled upon seeing Yuxi.
It was Qiangshen's grandma.
"What is with this?" The woman walked up to Yuxi to examine her clothing. "No no. I won't accept you dressing like this. You are not any mere assistant but Shen's assistant. You need to look dashing always like you're his girlfriend... You know what? You are Shen's girlfriend from now on..."
Shatter! The sound of breaking China came from behind them.
Mrs Xing turned angrily to see who it was that dared to interrupt her, but to her surprise it was the ever serious manager. He looked pale like he had seen a ghost.
Chu Feng stood there wordlessly and staring at them with his mouth hung open.
Meanwhile, Qiangshen's expression didn't change one bit. He had known she hired Yuxi for more reasons. It was just her way of plotting up marriages.
The same way she had plotted Zhaolin but he was one step ahead.
The guards had been on alarm but after seeing who it was, they sighed and turned away.
"Chu Feng?" The woman crispy voice came through. "What is wrong with you‽ Are you alright? You look sick."
"Ma... Ma... Ma'am..." Chu Feng stammered.
She eyed him and turned her attention back on Yuxi. "I brought the contract, sit."
