I was a nervous wreck standing there in front of Lee Yi as Bao Wei whispered something into his ear. Seeing the smirk on Lee Yi's face gave me hope that it was not something terrible.
As Bao Wei ceased his whispering and shared a smile with me, Lee Yi likewise grinned in my direction. What? Why are they smiling at me? Concerned, I looked around.
"You can start working from today onwards," Lee Yi said in a charming voice. The overwhelming joy was causing me to nod my head in agreement like a foolish doll.
"The two men would be staying with me since I am always with the boss and you miss would be staying with the boss," Bao Wei said while standing behind Lee Yi, his glasses adjusted.
Bao Wei was taken aback when I stepped forward and shook his hand firmly and multiple times. I was so enthralled that I failed to notice Lee Yi's intense gaze directed towards Bao Wei.
Wei Bao rubbed his neck in shame as I beamed at him. I let go of him as the two men behind me followed Bao Wei as he walked outside of the mansion. As I gazed at the already-departing Bao Wei, I appeared perplexed.
"He is getting ready to go to the company", I turned my head straight when I heard the deep voice from Lee Yi as he gave me a smile. As soon as we made eye contact, he locked onto mine. Just thinking about how this successful man was brought to ruins by the protagonists makes my blood boil.
My emotions and resolve shone through as I muttered, "I will protect you!" Lee Yi was momentarily taken aback by my words. So much hardship has gone into this boy's development into the man he is today.
He asked with a smile, "Is that so?" His laughter echoed through the room as I remained bewildered. I froze as he drew nearer. Leaning toward me and lowering himself, I could feel his breath caress my face. He was quite tall in the first place. The impish grin on his face got me thinking about the person he presents to the world: a charming charmer whose infectious smile breaks the hearts of many. A broken man showing the world how happy he is... The impulse to touch his face was strong, but I restrained myself because we had only just met.
"We will see haha!", his words echoed in my mind, was he testing me? Or challenging me? There was this surge of adrenaline that made me want to prove myself.
Just then Bao Wei emerged with the other two men of mine. He stood in front of Lee Yi before speaking, "The car is ready boss". Lee Yi nodded as he gave me a smile and walked towards the exit of the mansion, I followed behind. My heart kept on beating as I followed behind him, Bao Wei was going to open the car door but I stopped him and did it personally. He and Lee Yi stared at me in surprise before Lee Yi chuckled.
I blushed when I realized I overstepped, I stood there for a second when I froze as I saw Bao Wei sit in the seat beside the driver, he also noticed my confusion.
He turned around, "You can sit beside the boss", before I could disagree he sat in already. I stood there thinking before I felt a tug on my sleeve. I looked down to see Lee Yi with a smirk tugging on my sleeve.
"Are you coming in?", I nodded as a sigh escaped me, as I got in the car beside Lee Yi.
