CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
"But wasn't it find in your washroom? Whom should I blame for that?" He asks with raised brows.
"Can't we do any further investigations? I also want to know who did that to my boss," she begins bootlicking.
She can't promise to pay him back. Three Million is something she might never be able to make her whole life. Even if she sold herself to slavery.
"How do we do that? If I can't find anything, can you?" Min Chen asks with a wicked smile. "Sometimes, one is always forced to pay for some things, so that they are more responsible in the future."
Xiao Xiao pouts and remains silent. Was she irresponsible? It was him, the boss, that was irresponsible. How could he leave such an expensive watch in a servant's room?
But since the weak never have a choice, there is nothing she can do. She can't say anything to refute him.
What if he gets mad and takes her to jail. She will not even have a chance to appear in court and defend herself.
"You have to be grateful that apart from my assistant, you and me, nobody else knows of this. I wonder what will happen if I make it public..."
Xiao Xiao trembles and shakes her head. "Don't make it public please," she says. "But...can we negotiate for the payment? No matter how I try, I will never make three million my whole life."
Min Chen remains quiet and observes her. 'You can make more than that daily if you become mine,' he says in his head.
Why can't she be like the other girls a little. Had it been any other girl, they would be fawning over him now, trying to seduce him.
But he can never say such a thing to her at such a time. He puts his hands in his pockets and sits on the desk, looking at her intently.
"Mmh, I had not thought of it. You probably can't make that kind of money," he purses his lips as if deep in thought.
Then he flicks his finger. "But I am usually a very lenient person. I might choose to help you," he adds as a wicked smile creeps to his face.
Xiao Xiao is stupefied. She has never seen the big boss smile. Even though his smile is wicked, it is still so bewitching. She finds herself engrossed in it.
"Ye Xiao Xiao!" The man calls and knocks her head, bringing her back to her senses. "Are you obsessed over your boss?"
"No!" She says and shakes her head continuously. "I was only thinking of how to pay you back."
"Ooh, I would have helped you a bit if you were obsessed with me," Lu Min Chen says almost to himself.
Xiao Xiao opens her eyes wide when she hears him. "What did you say boss?" She asks in great shock.
"What? I did not say anything. What did you hear?" He asks and swings his legs leisurely.
