Kapitel 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.

Kapitel 69: Meeting
Wan Lin and Quince busily went through their respective work. The pile of documents were being read by both of them, with almost the same speed. It was quarter to 6 before Quince gazed up and massaged the space between his brows lightly.
He looked at the time before turning to glance at his 'secretary.'
It was strangely amazing that she was adapting really well and could handle everything smoothly. It would not be unexpected if she had been working for years but this feat was done on the first day itself!
Through out the day, there had been various problems that demanded his attention. He could handle it but thanks to her assistance, those problems got cleared up much faster than when he had to deal with it alone.
She had background knowledge about almost every companies that he had dealt with and that saved a lot of time.
Anything she didn't know, she memorized it and was able to analyze it on the spot!
'Just how much information does she have about the group to be able to handle everything thrown at her?' Quince wondered. Had he not known about her identity, he would have assumed that she was a spy sent from one of his rivals! Her knowledge and skills were simply too astonishing.
Wan Lin didn't feel that everything she did was anything unusual. In her mind, her role was that of an extremely capable secretary, what she did was expected of her. Unbeknownst to her though, this became the biggest loophole for her lies to be exposed!
The clock struck 6 and Wan Lin raised her head up. She looked at Quince and saw that he was staring at her.
Wan Lin pushed her glasses up before saying in an impassive tone,"Boss, I will inform the driver to come pick us up."
"Alright." Quince replied in the same tone as her. His action mirroring hers perfectly. He then proceeded to keep his documents while Wan Lin grabbed a phone to call the driver.
Soon the both of them were standing in front of the building and waited silently for the car to come. Many employees that were going home saw them together and secretly took pictures of them.
The pictures circulated in all the employees' chat groups and soon rumors were being spread around. Speculations were flying about in regards to her identity, though most guessed that she was their boss's new secretary.
The car soon arrived and the driver came down to open the door for Quince. Wan Lin walked to the other side of the car and opened the door,preparing to sit in front with the driver.
"Sit behind." Quince said leisurely. There was quiet authorization in his voice and as his secretary, Wan Lin readily obeyed the order given.
She sat at the side, leaving a huge amount of space between them and looked at the view outside the car. Quince didn't say anything and merely closed his eyes, hoping to rest them before reaching the destination.
"Turn on the song." Quince commanded quietly with his eyes closed.
The driver was surprised by his request but quickly did what he was told. It seemed like his boss was in a fairly good mood which was completely different from his recent mood. Something good probably happened to his boss and the driver hoped to the heavens that that 'something' would always be there.
Wan Lin didn't interpret Quince's action as anything strange and merely leaned against the seat, enjoying the soft music being played in the car.
They were now headed to the hotel owned by Mister Antonio where the meeting was going to be held. It was quite far from the city and the ride would take at least 40 minutes.
The traffic wasn't heavy and they reached the destination without any problem.
They both got down from the car to see a dozen of people, dressed in professional attire, waiting for them in-front or the hotel's entrance. All of them bowed down and greeted their esteemed guests loudly.
"Welcome Mr.Esplanatda, Welcome Miss Wan."
Quince and Wan Lin didn't bat an eye at the greetings and merely proceeded forward.
"Mr.Antonio is waiting in the meeting room and dinner will be held right after." One of the women standing in front informed Wan Lin hurriedly.
Wan Lin nodded as it wasn't out of her expectations before relaying the information over to Quince. To which he merely grunted in reply and muttered under his breath,"Informal meeting then."
Wan Lin didn't reply as none was needed.
They were led to the large meeting room in the hotel and after shaking hands with Mister Antonio, a large Italian man, the meeting began.
Wan Lin sat beside Quince and noted down the changes in the business plan and added any new alterations.
The meeting was about the new construction of hotels in the Asian market. Mr.Antonio wanted to partner up with the De Roi Group as the De Roi group dominated the Asian market.
The meeting went smoothly and soon enough both men got up and shook hands.
"I hope there will be no problems." Quince said as he shook Mr.Antonio's hand.
"Of course not!" Mr.Antonio smiled right back, trying his best to assure Quince.
Quince was wary of Mr.Antonio's company from the start as Mr.Antonio was known to be quite cunning and sly. If the head of the De Roi group didn't want him to make this deal, he would never partner up with them.
"Let's have dinner shall we? I'm sure you and this young lady must be hungry." Mr.Antonio said with a smile on his face as he turned to look at the young woman beside his new business partner.
His eyes had been glittering every time he glanced at Wan Lin. It was true that the secretary looked extremely professional and her expression was void of any emotions, but the exquisite face behind the glasses couldn't be hidden from a Casanova like him.
Quince narrowed his eyes when he saw Mr.Antonio's smile. Quince was now radiating an extremely chilly aura, trying his best to control his emotions.
He had been tolerating the glances directed at his little devil all this time but since she was in disguise, he couldn't openly challenge him as it may arouse her suspicions.
Not sure if Mr.Antonio was aware of his impolite manner or merely sensed Quince's aura, but he immediately led the two out to the dining hall that had been reserved exclusively for their group.
Quince took a deep breath before following him, before turning to glance at Wan Lin, signaling her to follow closely after him.
Wan Lin wasn't sure why he wanted that, but she complied willingly. Wan Lin didn't know that her mere presence near by, calmed Quince down immensely, extending Antonio's peaceful time for a bit longer.
