Chapter 67: Devious plans
'3 minutes to go.' Quince thought silently.
He was staring at his watch while waiting for his newly appointed secretary to come back.
He couldn't wait to see if she would be able to complete all his assigned tasks.
None of the secretaries in the past were able to do it before as everything must be gathered very quickly, inevitably demanding for efficiency and competency to be the core qualifications of the secretary.
Not to mention the fact that she was a new secretary. Nobody knew who she was and would most likely not cooperate with her.
Quince was eagerly waiting to see if his little girl would be able to complete it.
'If not.....' Quince thought with a neutral expression but his eyes sparkled mischievously like a sly cunning fox.
'What punishment would best suit her, I wonder?' Quince thought as he continued staring at his watch, anticipating the next moment.
'60,59,58....' Quince counted the seconds in his mind excitedly.
'Maybe it should be overtime? But she would definitely fall asleep.' Quince thought with an endearing helpless sigh as he recalled her sleeping face on the cruise.
'32,31,30...'
'Maybe overtime for 5 hours....or 4. But she might get sick and resign....so probably 2?' His mind was working endlessly while his eyes were fixed on his watch.
'20,19,18...' Quince continued counting, '2 might be too much, she may get sick. So 1?'
He didn't have time to think more as something interrupted him.
When he reached 10, he heard a knock on his door.
Quince straightened up in his seat before allowing the person outside to enter.
"Come in" His cold voice commanded.
"Boss." Wan Lin entered his office and stood in front of his table. Her hands were clasped together in front of her and her posture was that of a subordinate waiting for orders.
"Report" Quince spun his chair slightly towards her direction and looked at her with his signature non expression.
Wan Lin cleared her throat lightly before reporting everything one by one.
"Mr.Henry is currently in charge of the Atmos project and the PR department is now drafting the proposal, the person will present it to us by 4pm today. The IT department is proceeding with the new program and would contact the tech guy..."
Wan Lin continued listing nonstop with no change in her tone. Her speech sounded almost robotic, even the pitch and the breath used was even out perfectly!
First Quince was merely listening with a disinterest expression on his face, waiting for her to stop and say that she couldn't complete all the tasks, but his eyes became deeper as he continued listening to her report.
He even went as far as asking her a few questions in between and she could answer every single one of them.
Her performance was basically flawless!
Quince couldn't believe that the playful little girl he knew would be able to perform her duties this wonderfully.
No one was able to do it before!
Quince nodded without a change in his expression and simply said,"Alright. Go to your seat and send email to Mister Antonio to inquire about the current trend of the market."
"Understood Boss. If I may be so bold, where is my seat?" Wan Lin asked with the same expression as Quince. She noticed something different about his office as soon as she entered but she didn't think it was possible.
"Here of course." Quince said nonchalantly as he gazed at the smaller table diagonal to his table.
"Right..here?" Wan Lin paused as she asked the question. Aren't secretaries usually placed in front of their superior's room?
"Yes. Is there a problem Miss Wan Lin?" Quince quirked one of his brows up as he asked with the usual signature non expression.
"None Boss." Wan Lin replied promptly and walked over to her table.
The table was made out of white marble which highly contrast the atmosphere in the room as the tone was brown and cream all over. Even Quince's desk was brown in color. It was actually very similar to the one on the cruise.
Wan Lin shrugged and switched on the computer before finding Antonio's contact and firing an email to him. She soon got his reply and started devising the details.
Quince kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye and fell in a daze. He still couldn't believe that she was crazy enough to disguise herself as his secretary.
Not to mention the fact that she was acting with a cold expression, which was extremely different from her usual bubbly one. He wanted to see how long it would take for her to break down and revert back to her crazy cheerful personality.
'Not crazy....devious. She definitely has devious plans up her sleeves.' Quince thought as he narrowed his eyes. He sighed at the extra trouble the girl would be bringing and shook his head before concentrating on his work.
It did occur to him that he could simply expose her and kick her out of the company, but he didn't want to. Quince would deny it but deep down he simply liked having her around. It made him happy.
Soon enough the little girl with devious plans spoke up.
"Boss, Mister Antonio request a meeting at 7pm today." Wan Lin said coldly.
"Hmm. Arrange it." Quince replied easily. He didn't know the trouble that would soon be arising thanks to this meeting.
"Alright. It's been set." Wan Lin nodded. She too didn't realize the trouble that she would stir for the cold faced cat of hers in the evening.
There was silence in the room until the clock strikes 12.
Wan Lin immediately stood up before excusing herself for lunch. Quince nodded and continued looking at the documents in his hands without seeming to stop.
Wan Lin walked out of his room and headed straight to the employees' cafeteria.
Meanwhile, Quince looked up and stared at the door that she just walked out of with a strange glint in his eyes.

Chapter 68: The Hunk
Wan Lin went to the cafeteria located on the 9th floor in the building. She walked around the large cafeteria and glanced at the stalls there.
As she was apparently earlier than other employees, her view wasn't blocked by anyone and she could look as much as she want without being a nuisance to others as the cafeteria wasn't crowded.
The food selection was luxurious filled with food from many nations ranging from the south to the north of the world. The best thing about it was that, it was completely free for the employees.
It was a rule though that everything taken by the employee must be eaten as wastage of food was not tolerated.
Wan Lin felt her mouth water at the sight but due to the image of the mighty secretary, she kept her cold expression on. Only heavens knew that she felt like she was in foodie heaven right now!
After perusing, Wan Lin finally settled on some Mexican food and went to get herself nachos and mushroom quesadillas.
She took her tray of food and walked to the seat beside the window. Soon enough, the employees started pouring in from different departments and the previously quiet cafeteria became loud with chatter and laughter.
At first no one noticed Wan Lin sitting there but someone looked towards the window seat and saw her sitting there eating her food peacefully. That person signaled the people around and asked about her. Within 10 minutes everyone was asking about the newcomer identity.
The employees had never seen her before and wondered about her identity. In the company, employees from the same department usually sat and ate their meal together so only someone banned by their department would be sitting alone.
Everyone was well aware of the people banned from the social group and the lady sitting beside the window was definitely not one of them.
The employees that had too much free time on their hands started whispering among themselves, discussing about her.
Even though she was professionally attired, her outfit was simply too boring for her to be from the marketing department where they favor colorful outfits, claiming it boost their brain power.
She couldn't be from the PR department either as her glasses excluded her from that department. It was a rule that the people in that department had to wear contact lenses for their image.
They went through all the departments quirks and yet couldn't figure it out.
Wan Lin completely ignored the stares she received from the people and concentrated on her food. The sun was shining and Wan Lin was enjoying the peaceful lighting that surrounded her.
That was until a shadow fell on her and Wan Lin was forced to look up, annoyance coloring her eyes, only to see a good looking man standing in front of her.
He had light brown hair and light brown eyes. He was smiling charmingly at her, his smile was so bright as if he was trying to compete with the sun.
"May I sit here?" He asked her politely.
Wan Lin didn't own the chairs or tables in the company so there was no reason for her to deny him.
"Suit yourself." She said tonelessly and continued with her quesadillas. Damn they were good!
She chewed happily, completely ignoring the man that was in front of her. The man had a slight smile on his lips as he watched her eat.
"You have something on your lips." He said and passed a tissue over to her.
"Hmm." Wan Lin replied before ignoring him. She grabbed her own tissue and wiped her own mouth. The man chuckled lightly at her expression before eating his food.
The chatters around them got even louder as they saw the action of the man sitting in front of Wan Lin.
That man was one of the top five bachelor of the company whom the women were crazy about! He worked in the contracting department as the manager's assistant.
Apart from his muscular build, cute smile and charming personality, his career path and future was extremely bright!
He was the number one person set to be the next head of his department! While it was true that the next logical step would be to become the manager, the guy had enough talent to straight up become the next head of the department. Not to mention his mysterious background which remains unknown till now!
The women's eyes were burning with jealousy and they were dying to go over to that table to replace that woman sitting opposite of the handsome hunk. But they couldn't as their secret rule stated that all the five bachelors were to be shared and not monopolized by anyone!
Since no one knew whom Wan Lin was, they didn't know if the rule applied to her as well. Everyone was intensely watching the scene in front of them.
Wan Lin felt the gazes staring at her intensified and she glanced at the man eating in front of her.
'Seems like he is somebody famous. But the contracting department? Isn't that the department that I just created a scene this morning?' Wan Lin mused to herself.
"So....Miss Wan Lin." The man suddenly said when he felt her gaze on him.
"Hmm." Wan Lin merely grunted her acknowledgment indicating that she heard him.
"You like Mexican food?" He asked as he gazed at her almost finished quesadillas.
"Hmm." Wan Lin replied, neither confirming nor denying it. She looked down at her food and started eating once more.
Wan Lin was definitely not expecting for him to ask her about the food she liked. She thought he was going to introduce himself and gain her favor as he knew that she was the boss's personal secretary.
Contrary to her expectations, he didn't continue pestering her after he heard her reply. He merely continued eating his food.
Wan Lin was soon done and got up, ready to leave. She thought he was going to stop her but he didn't. He merely smiled politely, silently bidding her goodbye.
Wan Lin walked away with a neutral expression but she was feeling confused inside her heart as she didn't know his motive.
She heard words like, 'the hunk, oldie and Mister Timothy' being whispered continuously around her.
'I have a new nickname as oldie now? Is it the way I dress? And hunk? Probably talking about that guy.' Wan Lin mused as she threw her trash into the bin.
'Timothy huh?' She continued her thoughts and silently remembered the name. If she is not mistaken, it's definitely the name of the guy that ate with her just now.
His behavior was definitely strange but Wan Lin couldn't be bothered about it at the moment. She had another person to put her energy towards. Someone she was ready to invest her time into bullyi....assisting.
Thinking that, she walked out of the cafeteria without turning back even once.
Timothy watched her walk away without tearing his gaze from her, a mysterious glint in his eyes. He looked excited as if he found an extremely interesting prey to hunt.
