“Ahhh, my ship has sunk! MShaw belongs to Mr. Lawson!”

“What President belongs to Mr. Lawson? Mr.Shaw obviously has a thing for our Wen Secretary!”

“Okay, stop arguing. Your ships have all sunk. Mr.Shaw’s blind date was successful, he has a girlfriend now, the rest are illegitimate.”

“So, Sophia becomes his mistress.”

The gossiping group fell silent. After a while, someone said, “Well, if you like someone you can’t bond with, you can only be a mistress. The official partner has to be a good match, that’s how it is in the upper class.”

I walked in, coughing loudly. The “gossip squad” jumped, and seeing who it was became even more embarrassed.

“Slacking off during work hours?” I said seriously, then softened my expression. “But a few minutes of slacking is good for mental health, I’ll let you off this time.”

They all breathed a sigh of relief. I gave them their tasks. Someone apologized.“Sophia, I’m sorry, we shouldn’t have gossiped about you behind your back.”

I shrugged.“Gossiping is fine, but can you say something good? Help me clear things up at the company, say I’m not Mr.Shaw’s woman, and I will absolutely never be his mistress.”

They verbally agreed, but clearly didn’t believe it. I didn’t bother explaining.

Back upstairs, I went to the break room to get water, suddenly realizing: That’s the real reason Xander was going to MoonPlant

Pack…

In the break room, Zane was making coffee.

“Mr.Shaw isn’t napping today?”

“Yeah, it’s rare. Maybe he’s going out on Saturday, no time to handle work, so he’s dealing with some things these two days.”

“Oh.” I nodded, got my water, took a sip, and said, “This time, he’ll definitely take you.”

“Why?”

Zane looked at me curiously, surprised by my certainty.

“Because this time he’s going on a date, it’s inconvenient to bring me.”

Zane spilled coffee beans in surprise.“A date? With whom?”

“Ms. Emma.” I briefly told him about the blind date last night.“Mr.Shaw said he’s going to MoonPlant Pack this morning, and Ms. Emma said on her WeChat that she’s looking forward to the culinary journey this Saturday. You get it now?”

Zane nodded slowly, as if suddenly enlightened.“I get it.”

After I left with my water cup, he realized something was wrong with what I said: Why would she think it was more convenient for Mr.Shaw to bring him on a date than her?

His wolf blinked, “COULD SHE KNOW THAT MR.SHAW… HAS FEELINGS FOR HER?”

Near the end of the workday, Xander called both me and Zane to his office.

“Zane, you’re coming to MoonPlant Pack with me on Saturday. Secretary Wells, please handle the emails sent to my inbox in the past two days.”

Zane looked at me in amazement. He talked to me through the bond, “You’re incredible! You actually guessed his intentions.”

I shrugged slightly. It wasn’t that hard to guess. I just guessed men’s weaknesses in these matters. Last night, even though his blind date seemed promising, he still tried to flirt with me… So, how could he possibly bring me on his secret date on Saturday?

“Any objections?”

Xander raised his eyes when we didn’t respond immediately.

I offered a very standard smile.“Of course not, I understand.”

Sun also replied, “Me neither.”

It wasn’t up to us to have opinions. He always did as he pleased.

Xander’s eyes darkened slightly. His gaze lingered on my obviously fake smile for a moment.
