Zain’s words made Yanis stand still and not move forward. Then Zain approached her with a pair of shoes, bent down and said:
-The shoes you are wearing are too big and you tend to fall down, so put these on first.
Yanis looked at the light blue women’s slippers in front of her and thanked her. After putting on the shoes that fit, she was about to put away the pair that didn’t fit, when Zain moved faster than she did.
Zain picked up the shoes she wasn’t wearing and left. Yanis stood still, looked at the dress she was wearing and then at the slippers on her feet, and sighed inwardly with relief.
“Fortunately Zain’s aesthetics are that of a normal man.”
If Zain’s aesthetics were poor, he might have thought that girls liked pink. Then he could that the dress and shoes Yanis was wearing today were pink.
Yanis followed Zain down the stairs, where Coco, the kitten, was already sitting on a chair waiting for her food; Coco saw Yanis and meowed, so Yanis immediately went to sit next to her.
Yanis was nervous about eating alone with Zain for the first time and didn’t know what to do, so she kept petting the kitten’s head repeatedly.
Coco meowed. He felt a little uncomfortable and struggled a little, trying to get out of Yanis’ evil hands.
-Don’t go,” Yanis whispered, taking the kitten in her arms as it tried to escape. As Yanis was very nervous, she kept stroking the kitten’s head.
-Meow! -Coco protested unhappily, struggling slightly.
-You let her pass,” Zain suddenly spoke. Startled, Yanis looked at Zain and unconsciously let go.
Released, the kitten immediately fled from Yanis’ arms and soon disappeared from the dining room.
Yanis did not know what to say because Coco was running very fast, as if afraid of her, and Yanis bit her lip softly, not daring to look Zain in the eyes, when she heard Zain say:
-After breakfast, I’ll take you home.
-Okay,” Yanis lowered his head to eat.
Yanis ate slowly, but when he was about to finish, he heard footsteps and looked up to meet Megan, who was wearing high heels and making a crunching sound as she walked, he blushed and looked away shyly, thinking:
“What’s Megan doing here, she’ll see me and Zain here and think…”
-Good morning, sir -Megan saw them both eating breakfast as she walked in and sat down across the table, pulling out the information she had brought.
-Good morning,” Yanis heard Zain’s calm voice, cold and unrippled, like the water of a winter lake.
-This is the information I have collected overnight, and I have also taken the time to compile your previous convictions, your frauds are huge and extensive. On the basis of this one, I’m afraid he will have years in prison.
Yanis looked at Megan silently as she realized that what she was talking about had something to do with her, Yanis thought Megan was looking intently at the information or at Zain as she spoke, but Yanis looked up and realized that Megan was looking at her as well.
Yanis looked away quickly, her ears and neck reddening with shyness.
“What an easily shy little girl!”
Megan thought to herself, despite Zain’s presence, as Megan asked Yanis directly:
-Miss Yanis, why are you afraid to look at me? I’m talking about something that concerns you.
Yanis was so shy and was a little angry at this Megan’s direct question.
-Yanis? Why are you ignoring me?
Megan, amused by Yanis’ silence, laughed and asked her several more times.
Yanis lowered her head and decided not to talk to Megan.
-Secretary Megan, what is the condition of the wounded man? -Zain tapped his fingers on the table and changed the subject.
-Sir, I just wanted to talk to her and you are so anxious to protect her, it seems that last night, you…” said Megan.
-Nothing happened to us last night! Don’t think too much.
At the mention of last night, Yanis stood up with an agitated look on his face and interrupted Megan, as if he was afraid Megan would say something embarrassing.
Megan already had the answer in her mind:
“How is it possible that nothing happened since you have such a reaction, girl?”
Yanis then realized that he had just reacted very intensely, and with an embarrassed look at Zain and Megan, he turned around and ran up the stairs.
-I believe you, why are you running? -At the sound of Megan’s voice, Yanis ran even faster.
Yanis’ reaction was very funny and Megan looked at Zain and asked him:
-Mr. Zain, did nothing really happen to them last night?
Zain was looking at Yanis’ unfinished breakfast, frowning, and no one else could guess what he was thinking, Megan just held the papers close to him and asked again.
-Mr. Zain?
Zain finally gave her a sidelong, but slightly disgruntled look and reprimanded her:
-You have said too much. Take this information to the police station and file it, then send a copy to your company.
Hearing these words, Megan was a little surprised; it seemed that Zain was bent on ruining this man’s future. Once the police had entered this man’s criminal record, no company would dare to hire him even after he got out of jail. Thinking about this, Megan felt a little jealous, she had never thought that Zain could get attached to a woman.
-Well, what is he going to do about Yanis? I had thought that what happened last night would have traumatized her, but there doesn’t seem to be anything abnormal about her mental state. In that case, I’ll leave you two alone, sir, let him take his chance.
Megan finished, closed the folder and left smiling. She thought that Zain would have taken an aggressive approach to courting Yanis recently, since Zain had brought Yanis to her house. Megan had been working as Zain’s secretary for many years, she knew him a bit her boss.
