Chapter 26: Put in the Pedestal

EMPIRE DRAGON HOTEL

Daichi whistles upon seeing the long line of nervous executives waiting outside the President's Office. Although this is not a new scene, the boss wasn't in a good mood. He put his employees on the edge of a ridge once again.

Daichi forcibly opens the office door and marches furiously toward the president's desk. "Oi, where's that four eyes, man!?" he asked in an annoyed tone.

Dropping their mouth on the floor, the two Senior Engineers give their reports about the progress of the project and feel astounded. They truly admired their Head Security, who doesn't care about his action in front of the dragon boss.

The two engineers flew in the Mainland yesterday, and they do not know why this Head of Security suddenly appears. Felt nervous if something happens back on the island.

"Are you looking for Rudolf?" Kier's left brow twitched upward. This guy doesn't read a situation! Kier mumbles inside his head.

"He flew to Beijing for their annual meeting with his partnerships," Kier answered his question. "What's the problem?" he asked him back.

"That guy owes me big! How dare him to drop a call on me!"

"If he has nothing to say anymore, then he would just do that unless you annoy him?" Kier asserted.

"Eh? I wanted to tell him that Missy needs a new computer, so he could choose the latest one for the Miss and send it to the island! Can you not speak? Thus, he hangs up on me? Missy often fell asleep in the library to do her projects," he complains.

Ignoring Daichi's arrival, Shun finally lifts his head and peers at him. He set aside the report he's reading to talk at Daichi.

"Isn't this kind of issue you must contact me directly?"

Daichi scratches the back of his head. "Boss, I know that... but since that guy called me already, I choose to tell him to let you know then."

Shun sighed. He then sees the box he was carrying.

"Anyway, it is lunchtime, boss... you should give your executives a break!" while saying this, Daichi places the box above the folders on the table.

The Senior Engineer's eyes widened regarding his action. This Head of Security is truly something. The forehead of their boss now shows more black lines.

Everyone cannot bear the pressure, yet this guy carries more bad news. As for Kier, who witnessed the President's bad mood for a whole couple of weeks now, he craved to drop-off Daichi from this floor. The reason, his idiocy.

"What is it?" confused, Shun asked.

"Missy woke up very early this morning to buy those ingredients she needed, and then she prepared them for you, boss." Daichi's smiles widen, raising his thumbs-up.

Shun's face suddenly brightens up hearing this. And as for other people's point of view inside that office, it stunned them noticing how quickly the President changed his mood.

"Kier, tell Rudolf's team to purchase the latest laptop," Shun requests, "and tell everyone I want to see them by 3:00 of the afternoon in the meeting room. They can take a break now," he added.

"Copy," Kier bowed, then walked toward the door. He glances at his boss before he closes the office door. He shook his head in wonder.

Shun shifted his gaze to his engineers. "Engineer Park, bring the laptop tomorrow when you fly back on the island. Ask Mr. Chang to run a final check on it and tell him to teach Cassandra if there are parts she doesn't understand with the latest system."

"Um... yes President Crow! Copy, boss," Engineer Park startles for a moment. He meets the eyes of his junior engineer. While staying on the island, they've already heard about their boss living with someone named Cassie.

"All right, you both can go home now and prepare to go back to the island tomorrow."

"Thank you, boss."

Dazedly, the two Senior Engineers bows then walk towards the door. They still can't believe what they've witnessed just now.

So there is someone who could actually cool down the fire-breathing dragon. They both sighed after they got out alive.

The executives waited for the two engineers to come out from the President's Office so that they could storm them with questions. They were curious about what happened, but the two engineers weren't sure how to answer or what exactly they wanted to hear from them?

Then they just simply said, the boss just took a lunch break so everyone could do the same. How come they could say, 'their Mistress must put in the pedestal and knee bows at her'.

Of course, they should not gossip about their boss.

SHUN'S POV

"Then, I am heading out too. I will go to The Peninsula to see Blaire," Daichi announced.

"Okay," Shun nods at him. "I'll entrust you to take care of Claire to protect my sister from her," he said meaningfully.

Shun need not explain everything about Daichi's assignment. His Head Security already knows what he must do. Daichi salutes him and then leaves his office.

He stared at the lunch box then picked it up and carried it to the long table inside his office. He takes out the box from its wrapping then checks what's inside.

The aromas of the food please his nose, and it looks delicious. So this is the food Daichi boasted about in his photos. Shun went to his desk to get his phone and dialed Cassie's number.

He immediately ordered Daichi to buy a phone after he learned from Auntie Ling that Cassie doesn't own one on that very first day they've arrived at the island.

When they got back to the Mainland, he quickly registered Cassie and got her the latest phone where she could take clear photos from it. He even inserted a card on the phone box saying she should call him or text him she needs or there is a problem on the island... but Cassandra only sent him texts one time when she thanked him for the phone.

He learned that she was preparing for a periodical exam and had lots of projects... that is why he did not make a call or text her, avoiding disturbing her concentration to study. One week has passed, and she never sends him a text again.

He feels hopeless... What should he do to this girl?
