Paige smiled and flipped through the pages.
Everyone watching from the side was amazed. She read the documents quickly but not carelessly, which impressed them greatly. If Mr. Gustin could read documents at this speed and decisively give praise or criticism, they wouldn’t need to keep a bottle of quick-acting heart medicine on hand for each of them.
Sure enough, after reading it, Paige picked out a few minor errors and left, without being harsh.
Thinking about it, she walked to the pantry again, brewed a cup of coffee, and carried it towards the president’s office.
“Knock, knock,”
Paige knocked on the office door with her hand.
The door opened automatically.
She pushed the door open and saw Enrico sitting at his desk in an unkempt manner, leaning back, two hands holding a pen and twirling it rapidly, his dark eyes looking at her with discontent, “I said, you don’t need to knock when entering here.”
“That’s not good, if you’re in a meeting, the people under you will think I have no manners,”
It was very common for the CEO to call people in for a meeting.
“Don’t worry, they’re used to me, and everyone looks like a rule-follower to them.” Enrico stopped twirling the pen.
“…”
You really know how to flatter yourself.
Paige smiled, and held out the coffee in her hand and placed it in front of Enrico. Enrico lowered his head and rubbed the rim of the cup, his eyes brightening slightly, and a sense of pleasure leaping to the tips of his eyebrows.
“This woman is better than a man as an assistant.”
Enrico took a sip of his coffee cup with satisfaction.
Paige took out the file and put it on his desk, looking at him, “Jaden doesn’t even make coffee for you?”
“Yes, but it’s not as sweet as yours. His is too bitter,” Enrico said with disgust.
Upon hearing this, Paige silently reached into her pocket and took out two small boxes of milk candy and put them on the table. Her eyes were clear and clean, “I haven’t had time to add sugar yet.”
How did he taste the sweetness?
“…”
Enrico looked at the two boxes of milk candy, raised his eyebrows slightly, and calmly took another sip, “Mmm, sweet.”
Paige laughed, ‘Okay, take a look at the new report from the bank. The data shows that the currency has fluctuated less in the past two days, as if it is beginning to stabilize.”
“Stabilize?’ Enrico glanced at it and snorted, “It looks like the calm before the storm to me.”
The Ferris wheel virus has not been disinfected yet, so there is no real calm to speak of in the country.
“So, should we do something about it?” Paige asked.
“Yes,” Enrico said, raising his hand as he rapidly tapped on the keyboard while looking up at her. His eyes fell on the neckline that bound her collarbone, and he said in all seriousness, “When an assistant meets with the president in private, they should unbutton one-third of the buttons, otherwise it will affect the mood of the boss at work.”
“…”
Paige resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Mr. Gustin, this is sexual harassment in the workplace. I can have you sent to jail.”
“Well, I’ll do my job, and you go ahead and sue,”
Enrico said wickedly, quickly pressing the Enter key. “I’ve sent you an email. Have them prepare all the information I need. I’ll call a meeting of the senior management at 4pm.”
He could seamlessly switch between public and private, but she couldn’t keep up, and she nodded after a moment of stunned silence, “Okay, I’ll get ready.”
“No need to get ready, just sit back, I’ll personally help you unbutton your shirt, I’m very good at it,”
Enrico said, and started moving his fingers.
“…”
Another switch.
She knew it, he had Jaden go out into the field and promoted her for no good reason.
She had been so intent on fighting alongside him, but it turned out that he was full of these kinds of things.
“Here, sit here.”
Enrico collected his documents and cleared a small space on the desk.
“I don’t have any ideas about your desk.” Paige stared at him rather speechlessly, “It’s almost noon, what do you want to eat? I’ll order for you.”
Upon hearing this, Enrico stared at her with burning eyes, his gaze falling on the neckline of her shirt, where a dark light floated.
Paige suddenly didn’t want to listen anymore, “I’ll watch out for myself, you do your thing.”
The consortium has its own staff cafeteria, which is still divided into several categories. Paige ordered a few dishes in the Chinese restaurant and took them upstairs to eat with Enrico.
During the meal, Enrico finally became unsatisfied with just verbal flirting and hugged her and kissed her for a while.
Before they even started eating, Paige felt like she was going to become food.
She was pressed against the sofa, and when she realized what was happening, she called out to stop. Enrico was displeased and tried to kiss her again, but Paige glared at him and said, “If you don’t stop messing around, I’ll quit. I don’t have any official employment documents, so I can leave at any time.”
“…”
Enrico reluctantly let her go.
Paige handed him a lunchbox and touched her lips, which were still a little warm, and still retained his breath.
She noticed that Enrico seemed to have a special fondness for the office, trying to make her sit on the desk, trying to push her down on the sofa, trying to change to a softer carpet…
She bit her chopsticks and gave him a fierce look.
“…”
Enrico picked up a shrimp that fell and looked at her, “I’m not even angry that I didn’t get a kiss, what are you angry about?”
“Why do you always like to get physical in the office?” Paige couldn’t help but ask.
Enrico was very honest and shameless, “For thrills? Is it taboo enough?”
Her identity suddenly changed in front of him, which gave him a strange sense of freshness from the bottom of his heart.
The more she showed an official, boss-subordinate attitude, the more he wanted to entangle her, to strip off the serious mask on her face in the office, and see her in his arms as at home, helpless, submissive, and soft as water.
“…”
Paige couldn’t believe what she had heard.
Was he sick?
At that moment, her phone vibrated. Paige placed her lunchbox on her lap, holding the chopsticks in one hand and her phone in the other. It was a message from Carrie.
[Carrie: Paige, he wants to meet with you to discuss a way to calm down his brother-in-law. He knows he was too impulsive that day.
Paige glanced at the message and put down her chopsticks to reply.
[Paige: Okay, when and where?
Carrie quickly sent over a string of addresses and times, and added a sentence:
[Carrie: My brother-in-law is still angry, I’m afraid if you tell him, he won’t let you come.
Looking at the text, Paige turned to the man eating nearby, looking at his handsome profile, and then replied on her phone:
[Paige: It’s a bit of a problem, but it’s okay, I’ll figure it out.
Carrie: OK]
…
The next day, Paige arrived as promised.
The address that Rafael and Carrie gave her was in a very remote suburb. There were good fields all around, but there were no people to be seen. There was only an old building standing in the field, looking as if it were about to collapse. Obviously, no one usually came here.
