67 Devious plans

'3 minutes to go.' Quince thought silently.

He was staring at his watch while waiting for his newly appointed secretary to come back.

He couldn't wait to see if she would be able to complete all his assigned tasks.

None of the secretaries in the past were able to do it before as everything must be gathered very quickly, inevitably demanding for efficiency and competency to be the core qualifications of the secretary.

Not to mention the fact that she was a new secretary. Nobody knew who she was and would most likely not cooperate with her.

Quince was eagerly waiting to see if his little girl would be able to complete it.

'If not.....' Quince thought with a neutral expression but his eyes sparkled mischievously like a sly cunning fox.

'What punishment would best suit her, I wonder?' Quince thought as he continued staring at his watch, anticipating the next moment.

'60,59,58....' Quince counted the seconds in his mind excitedly.

'Maybe it should be overtime? But she would definitely fall asleep.' Quince thought with an endearing helpless sigh as he recalled her sleeping face on the cruise.

'32,31,30...'

'Maybe overtime for 5 hours....or 4. But she might get sick and resign....so probably 2?' His mind was working endlessly while his eyes were fixed on his watch.

'20,19,18...' Quince continued counting, '2 might be too much, she may get sick. So 1?'

He didn't have time to think more as something interrupted him.

When he reached 10, he heard a knock on his door.

Quince straightened up in his seat before allowing the person outside to enter.

"Come in" His cold voice commanded.

"Boss." Wan Lin entered his office and stood in front of his table. Her hands were clasped together in front of her and her posture was that of a subordinate waiting for orders.

"Report" Quince spun his chair slightly towards her direction and looked at her with his signature non expression.

Wan Lin cleared her throat lightly before reporting everything one by one.

"Mr.Henry is currently in charge of the Atmos project and the PR department is now drafting the proposal, the person will present it to us by 4pm today. The IT department is proceeding with the new program and would contact the tech guy..."

Wan Lin continued listing nonstop with no change in her tone. Her speech sounded almost robotic, even the pitch and the breath used was even out perfectly!

First Quince was merely listening with a disinterest expression on his face, waiting for her to stop and say that she couldn't complete all the tasks, but his eyes became deeper as he continued listening to her report.

He even went as far as asking her a few questions in between and she could answer every single one of them.

Her performance was basically flawless!

Quince couldn't believe that the playful little girl he knew would be able to perform her duties this wonderfully.

No one was able to do it before!

Quince nodded without a change in his expression and simply said,"Alright. Go to your seat and send email to Mister Antonio to inquire about the current trend of the market."

"Understood Boss. If I may be so bold, where is my seat?" Wan Lin asked with the same expression as Quince. She noticed something different about his office as soon as she entered but she didn't think it was possible.

"Here of course." Quince said nonchalantly as he gazed at the smaller table diagonal to his table.

"Right..here?" Wan Lin paused as she asked the question. Aren't secretaries usually placed in front of their superior's room?

"Yes. Is there a problem Miss Wan Lin?" Quince quirked one of his brows up as he asked with the usual signature non expression.

"None Boss." Wan Lin replied promptly and walked over to her table.

The table was made out of white marble which highly contrast the atmosphere in the room as the tone was brown and cream all over. Even Quince's desk was brown in color. It was actually very similar to the one on the cruise.

Wan Lin shrugged and switched on the computer before finding Antonio's contact and firing an email to him. She soon got his reply and started devising the details.

Quince kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye and fell in a daze. He still couldn't believe that she was crazy enough to disguise herself as his secretary.

Not to mention the fact that she was acting with a cold expression, which was extremely different from her usual bubbly one. He wanted to see how long it would take for her to break down and revert back to her crazy cheerful personality.

'Not crazy....devious. She definitely has devious plans up her sleeves.' Quince thought as he narrowed his eyes. He sighed at the extra trouble the girl would be bringing and shook his head before concentrating on his work.

It did occur to him that he could simply expose her and kick her out of the company, but he didn't want to. Quince would deny it but deep down he simply liked having her around. It made him happy.

Soon enough the little girl with devious plans spoke up.

"Boss, Mister Antonio request a meeting at 7pm today." Wan Lin said coldly.

"Hmm. Arrange it." Quince replied easily. He didn't know the trouble that would soon be arising thanks to this meeting.

"Alright. It's been set." Wan Lin nodded. She too didn't realize the trouble that she would stir for the cold faced cat of hers in the evening.

There was silence in the room until the clock strikes 12.

Wan Lin immediately stood up before excusing herself for lunch. Quince nodded and continued looking at the documents in his hands without seeming to stop.

Wan Lin walked out of his room and headed straight to the employees' cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Quince looked up and stared at the door that she just walked out of with a strange glint in his eyes.
