Like a Wallflower

Xie Yuansheng was utterly shocked to hear that his employer liked to drink and then even had the nerve to tell him that "Make sure that I don't drink!" Was he her baby sitter now? He had to stay with her all the time to see that she didn't pick any glasses of alcohol! His plan was to just be there and stand on the side of the hall like a wallflower so that no one would notice him and ask him stupid questions and here she was, asking him to integrate full on. If he were going to stay with her all the time, how would he not talk to the guests? How would he evade their questions? 

As if Feng Xinying had read his mind, she said, "If someone asks you about business, don't answer them straight. Tell them that you are taking a few days off and want to relax and so you don't even want to talk about business."

"Okay," he replied feeling better.
