33.87% My Boss Is A Lady / Chapter 21: Heaven On Earth

Chapitre 21: Heaven On Earth

The first person to notice the awkward silence and stare between Ai Mi and Haoran was Zhi Ruo.

Her hands became tight fists. Tight enough to make both the eyes, nose and lips of Ai Mi bleed at one punch.

Haoran also noticed her anger and that was when he broke the eye contact and stared at Zhi Ruo in confusion. Ai Mi also followed his line of sight and saw as the fists began to loosen.

Of course, Zhi Ruo's head was down, therefore she didn't know when the two of them started staring at her.

Feeling Haoran eyes now redirected to her, Ai Mi maintains composure and with a faint smile on her face, turned to the people to continue their introduction.

"The previous CEO asked all browsing companies to place that year in their websites. But that is false"

Acknowledging that all eyes on her and all ears are standing erect, she continued.

"This company has been in existence for 46 years and it has gone through the hands of only three CEO's. By means of the government supervision, the two previous CEOs got fired because of embezzlement of the government funds and lying to the financial headquarters in America that it was innocent people who took the funds"

Pitiful faces and angry expressions began to well up on the faces of the workers in front of her. How dare they?!

"But the good news is that I am not part. I have all the money I need therefore the money of this company is useless to me"

Useless? What a harsh word to use. A worker chuckles loudly, making all eyes to settle on him.

"Sorry"

"Do you think any of this is funny?" Zhi Ruo questions

She is in a bad mood today... She look older than earlier when Haoran saw her.

"He apologized. Don't bring anything up!" Ai Mi shuns!

Even the workers has noticed how harsh Ai Mi has been to Zhi Ruo. But instead of pity to whirl up in their hearts towards her, it is also disgusting thoughts.

She is so rude, so a rude person should handle her!

"As we were saying, you shouldn't think of me like how the others do. I don't have a bad mind towards anyone, naturally a boss is expected to be a bit..."

"Strict?" Haoran says, noticing her lost of words

Zhi Ruo jaw clenches as she raises her head up. Why is he helping her? What is the meaning of that?

"Exactly. Strict. But not strict to some part of making the workers overwork, right?"

The workers nods, seemingly enjoying the discussion.

Suddenly, the hand of a female employee shoots up with a friendly smile on her face.

"Yes?"

"Miss Ai Mi, I see a great leader and a friendly person before me. But, may I ask, why is it that the workers say a lot of bad things about you. Like, the sack letter thing and being a bit harsh but you call it authoritative?"

Silence reigns as Ai Mi stares at the lady blankly.

After while, her face became lightened up as if she just remembered something.

"You know, even if I say anything, it will remain the same if you don't believe me"

The workers turn to look at each other in confusion. Believe her? Does that mean either she or the old workers are liars?

Haoran though, says nothing but just stare. He has heard that sentence before... But where?

"My own type of leadership is not among the leadership defined at school. I am a wolf in a sheep's clothing, a demon in angel's garments..."

Everyone stares... Fear erupting in their eyes like a volcanic explosion.

"But my environment, is heaven on earth"

Heaven...? On earth?

"Don't mind what people say about me, I do things they don't like and they get angry at me for no obvious reasons"

Zhi Ruo fights her lips from breaking into a smile amd and then bursting into laughter.

What a grand speech!

If anyone is to watch her right now, they'll be thrilled to see a joker in a wolf's clothing or whatever she just said.

As Zhi Ruo mocked her in her mind with her head down, she didn't know when her boss had assigned her to take up a file and hand it over to her.

Everyone stares at Zhi Ruo, who apparently, have nothing but a nasty smirk on her face.

So this is what she means when she said people talk bad about her for unknown reasons...

Zhi Ruo is smiling with a bad thought about Ai Mi running through her mind. Even the workers know.

For some reason, Haoran felt angry and infuriated!

No wonder she always show some form of anger when Ai Mi's name is mentioned! She just don't like her, right?"

"Umm... Miss Zhi Ruo" the male gentleman directly in front of Zhi Ruo calls, snapping her back to reality. She looks up to find everyone staring at her, some with pleading faces, others with angry faces.

"Miss Ai Mi asked for a file" Zhi Ruo immediately takes a file from the pile of files and walked hurriedly to Ai Mi and stretched it out with both hands.

But instead of Ai Mi to collect it, she also looked at her furiously.

She pulls her hand and with the strength in her, she landed on Zhi Ruo's face a cheek-tearing slap!

Everyone gasps and stared at them, shocked!

Ai Mi then collects the file tardily and gave her a sign to leave the office.

"Go home" Ai Mi whispered in a way only she and Zhi Ruo would hear.

And she left, taking her purse with her. Tears of anger flowing down her cheeks.

The workers that felt anger towards Zhi Ruo now felt bad for her. But every assistant should be focused whenever they're in front of their boss... Why was she... ?

Confirming her presence was no more within the company, Ai Mi looked at them and said with a low voice.

"Prepare your pitches by tomorrow. The board will then confirm if you are illegible for crime detection"

She relaxes both of her palms on the edge of the desk in the office.

"Do not tell anyone about this, not even Zhi Ruo when she asks. Not the other workers and not your relatives. Make this decision by yourself and submit this form tomorrow in my office. Do not let anyone see this"

Chapitre 22: I Know... Her?

"How dare she?!"

Zhi Ruo holds the mug tightly and bangs it on the table in the secret room in a bar.

Men and women surrounds her with devilish and conquering gazes in their eyes. Anger flashing across their eyes like lightning bolts.

"I! Zhi Ruo! Got humiliated, in front of Haoran!"

Zhi Ruo's eyes starts to become wet and red. Munchen, dressed in a red shirt, with sleeves raised up and two unbuttoned buttons, walks upto Zhi Ruo and laid his palms on her shoulders to soothe her.

She angrily drank the hot tea and bangs the cup on the table, not seeming to acknowledge the hotness of te body.

He massages her shoulders gently and gradually slips his fingers into her shirt, feeling her collarbone.

"I feel disrespected and-"

"Cool down, beautiful" Munchen whispers looking straight at the wall, massaging the collarbone of Zhi Ruo.

"It doesn't matter if you're respected or not..." He leans against her head and whispers even more provocatively "All that matters is that you get the Master to trust you, marry you, take the company, leave him and come to me"

Zhi Ruo closes her eyes and sighs, listening to Munchen talk like a radio.

"And then, we make money together"

The people in the room began to whisper with dirty smiles on their faces.

"Mr Bao will be here tomorrow night" Zhi Ruo says

"What do you think he will ask me?" Munchen laughs quietly and rubs her other earlobe with one of his hand.

"Who cares? We always come up with an answer" Zhi Ruo turn to Munchen as he continues "We just need that company. Period"

Zhi Ruo stares directly into the eyes of Munchen. Goosebumps erupting on her hands as she watches Munchen pupils dilate.

Seeing that she has something to say, Munchen smiles charmingly and asks "What?"

Her beautiful eyes blink and she said "Nothing"

Munchen smiles a little bit wider, making Zhi Ruo's heart skip a beat.

Before she opened her mouth to say what she had at the tip of her tongue, Munchen kissed her on her forehead, tracing to the tip of her nose and finally landed on her lips. Zhi Ruo didn't resist, instead she closes her eyes and kisses him back.

Of course, most of the people in the room found the atmosphere a little tense.

"You guys should be planning, not making love at a bar" one of the guys, looking ruthless at a corner retorts in disgust.

"Why? Cause you have no one to make love with"

The whole room bursts into laughter and Munchen takes his lips away from hers.

He stands straight after staring at her for a while and turn to the guy that thought their public affairs were disgusting.

"Are you telling us what to do?" Munchen stays where he is but his voice sounds like he is very close to guy.

Ladies starts to approach Munchen, two holding him by his arms, one stood behind him, clutching his neck as if she was about to devour him.

Zhi Ruo rolls her eyes seeing this. Why does he have women issues like this?

"You shouldn't be saying that to people who knows what to do with their lives"

"oOoOO!" The whole room roared as Munchen mocked him.

"Get lost" without allowing the other guy to say anything, he commands him to be on his way.

The guy leaves the room, head bowed in shame as the others laughs at him mockingly.

Munchen turns to Zhi Ruo. Seeing that she is in no mood to talk, he walks away with the surrounding ladies as the room becomes multicolored and a stereo music began to play loudly.

Zhi Ruo turns back hearing the music just to see the people dancing and in their middle is Munchen, walking to the opposite counter to have a drink.

She stares at his back for a while before taking her eyes away from him with a half smile on her face.

***

The noon time is the most hottest part of the day, no doubt.

Haoran walks towards Ai Mi's apartment with a flashy look in his eyes.

Thinking about her makes him feel hot within.

Ahh... Ai Mi...

Her name brings him some kind of joy!

His face becomes harder as he thought about what happened earlier.

Not the slap though, but what she said to him before he left the office.

Minutes Earlier...

"You're dismissed"

Everyone takes their bags and bid Ai Mi goodbye as they all left the office.

"Haoran, please wait" she says and each one of the worker turn to him holding their smiles back in before they got caught.

Is she attracted to Haoran now?

Ai Mi made sure each one if them left the company, monitoring them from the front window before she turned her attention to Haoran.

"Did you speak to Zhi Ruo today?" Haoran furrowed his eyebrows. Why is she asking?

"No" he shook his head. Her eyes went down, her short but beautiful lashes going down with it. She stares at the book in front of her for while, probably thinking of something, before she raised her head to talk to Haoran.

Haoran face hardened even more, remembering Ai Mi and her words.

"Hey, Bro!"

Haoran looks up with a frown on his face. He stares at the guy with brown hair wearing a polo with a face cap. He looks spectacular, but at the same time after something.

He walks over to Haoran from the iron pole beside Ai Mi's house with a wide smile on his face.

"Do I... Know you?"

"No. I don't think so" the guy replies, still with the creepy smile on his face.

"Okay. What can I do for you?"

"You're a friend of the lady in that apartment?" he points to the house behind them, making Haoran nearly choke.

Friends? They haven't even come to a conclusion about that.

Wait...!

What if this is her boyfriend? It can't be!

Ai Mi... She has no boyfriend! Keep it cool Haoran, she has no boyfriend!

Haoran panicks inside but look even more tougher outside.

He stares at the guy in the eyes and blurted a "Yes"

He can't believe he just said that!!!

"Really? Huh" the guy says snd takes a step forward with his hand in his pockets

"Last time I checked, Ai Mi dumped too many guys before she came to me" he says staring elsewhere before he traces his eyes back to Haoran

"And now she's with you"

"We are just friends"

"Friends? You wish! Ai Mi will never be friends with someone like you. She'll take you as a sacred offering. Something she must sacrifice later on"

Haoran says nothing in reply. He just stares at the guy in fury. "Who are you?"

"Don't you know that already? I'm her ex"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"So you won't make a mistake"

Haoran scuffs "Why do you care if I make a mistake? I don't even know you"

The guy laughs scornfully and with a small smile voices out "We know each other, Haoran"

Haoran eyes widens hearing his name. "Even Ai Mi knows everything about you. You know her and she knows you. But you have a bad-"

"That's enough!"
