Liu Xiuying felt awkward from all the stares she received. After eating, she went back to her office. Her office was beside Zhen Tai's, so when she left, Zhen Tai knew.
When she arrived, she looked at Zhen Tai and saw that he was still working vigorously. She walked towards him and asked, "Assistant Tai, are you not going for lunch break?"
Zhen Tai raised his head when he heard her voice and his gaze landed on her beautiful slender figure. "No, we have a lot of things to do"
"Oh" Liu Xiuying went back to her seat and looked at the new documents that had been placed on her desk. She started to work on them and then scanned them into her computer, sending them to Mo Yanlin's email.

Three hours later, she leaned against the chair with a smile on her face.
The telephone on her desk rang.
"Hello, this is Miss Liu speaking from PRAD. How may I help you please?" She said in a low and calm voice.
No one answered.
Liu Xiuying frowned. "Hello-"
"Come to my office now"
She had just said a word when the familiar deep and cold voice rang in her ear, sending chills down her spine. "Yes, Mr. Mo"
She placed the telephone back to its original position and stood up, walking straight into his office. "Mr. Mo, you asked of me"
Mo Yanlin's head was lowered as he was on a phone call. When he heard her voice, he raised his head and gestured with his hand, telling her to have a seat.
Liu Xiuying's heart skipped a beat.
This was just her first day at work and if she had any problem, wouldn't she lose her job? She twisted her fingers nervously as she sat on the couch slowly.
Mo Yanlin, from the corner of his sharp eyes saw that she was nervous and her head was lowered. The sun had begun to set and due to the angle she sat, the golden halo landed on her side profile, dying part of her hair gold. Her arm reached out and she nervously touched her nose. It was clear that she was feeling uncomfortable.
He averted his gaze and smiled.
After a while, he ended the call and looked at her. Perhaps, Mo Yanlin's gaze was too sharp, Liu Xiuying felt it and suddenly raised her head.
The moment their eyes met, Liu Xiuying stood up. She opened her mouth several times, but she was unable to make a word.
Mo Yanlin leaned back into his chair, her every expression didn't escape his dark eyes. He lowered his eyes, revealing his long black eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings.
"I didn't get the documents I told Zhen Tai to give you"
"I'm sorry Mr. Mo, I'll send them to you again"
Liu Xiuying's voice was almost trembling, but she managed to compose herself and spoke in a calm voice. She turned and was about to leave when she heard him say again, "Don't send them. Bring them to me and let's work on it together"
Liu Xiuying almost fell. She was about to break down from staying in the same room with him, and he…he…
Liu Xiuying felt like crying, but tears refused to fall.
She smiled at him politely and walked out of his office. Zhen Tai noticed the way she was walking and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? If you are not feeling well, you can take a break and I'll take over"
Liu Xiuying waved her hands. "No, I'm fine"
She carried the documents that she had worked on and went back into Mo Yanlin's office. She sat on the couch and placed the documents on the table in front of her.
Mo Yanlin stood up from his chair, removed his coat and hung it on his chair before walking towards her. He sat down beside her and Liu Xiuying felt her body froze.
No! Why must he sit beside me?
Liu Xiuying didn't raise her head all the time they worked on the documents. She had her head lowered, "seriously" staring at every word written in every document and watched as he wrote his signature.
When it was late at night, they were done and Zhen Tai walked into the office. He said, "Mr. Mo, let me drive you home"
"It's not necessary. You can go back home on your own"
"Goodnight, Mr. Mo"
"Mm"
It was only Liu Xiuying who was with him. She stood up and smiled, "Mr. Mo, since I'm done with my work for today, I think I should go home too"
She felt her brain was already lacking oxygen from not breathing very well. She was scared that Mo Yanlin would notice her breathing heavily and held her breath for sometime, then breathed again.
Mo Yanlin tilted his head slightly, his dark and sharp eyes landing on her beautiful face. He said his words slowly, "Did I allow you to leave?"
The smile on Liu Xiuying's face froze. She lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Mo Yanlin took his coat and walked out of the office. Liu Xiuying immediately followed, grabbed her bag from her office and jogged after him.
When they reached the parking garage downstairs, he suddenly threw his car key at her. "You know how to drive?"
Liu Xiuying was stunned. "Yes…Yes"
"Get into the car then. You are my driver from now on" was what Liu Xiuying heard before she heard the closing of a car's door.
Her mind went blank for a moment and she didn't know how to react to what he just said. It was when she heard the honking of a car that she was pulled out of a trance. She lowered her head to look at the car key in her hand, still in disbelief.
She slowly walked towards the black car and climbed into the driver's seat. This was her second time in his luxurious car and she felt scared. She started the car's engine and raised her head, her gaze landed on the perfect figure through the rearview mirror. "Mr. Mo, where to?"
"My house"
"Oh"
The black car drove out of the parking garage.
Liu Xiuying didn't expect herself to be able to drive her boss home. She thought her job would be easier; from working in the office to going back home. However, who knew that she would have to drive her boss home.
—
They spent an hour on the way before they got to Maybay Villa. Liu Xiuying climbed down from the car and walked around the car to open the door for him.
Mo Yanlin stepped out of the car and walked away.
"Mr. Mo, I'll be going home now"
"Let one of my men send you home"
"No, no" Liu Xiuying smiled at him.
Mo Yanlin stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at her.
"Okay" Liu Xiuying felt threatened under his gaze and finally agreed. She sighed softly in her heart.
Mo Yanlin's darkened eyes softened and he turned around and strode into the villa. "Quang, take her home"
