Someone else flared up

Li Li seemed to have received the biggest shock of his lifetime. He neither straightened up nor did he continue to bow, with an awkward posture he continued to stand in front of Xie Xia who glanced at him coldly. Though Xie Xia was a mer, he was known for his ruthlessness. 

He was a mer who rose from the slums to the position he was standing at present, one could determine how cruel Xie Xia was and when he looked at Li Li with those cold amber eyes, Li Li seemed to have snapped out of his daze and bowed again. 

" Forgive me boss, but you look really admirable today," Li Li praised Xie Xia in an attempt to mask his lack of reaction just now. Inwardly he was cursing himself for being stupid, how could he become dazed just because he saw his boss wearing the hair clip that was supposed to be his?
