Sweet Love novel Chapter 27

After Yusef almost finishes cleaning up the wound, he looks up and throws the cotton swab into the trash can, "Why are you staring at me?"

Macy regains her consciousness but fails to answer this question. Biting her lip, she chooses to keep silence.

Yusef says jokingly, "The man you just saw is Rayburn Fackler, our vice president. He said you were too stupid and asked me to fire you. What do you think?"

For a moment Macy feels depressed. Looking at the faint smile on his face, she couldn't figure out his real idea.

Anyway, when it comes to Rayburn, she actually heard about him before. He is a capable man who accompanied Yusef’s father to establish this company and is at the same level as Eliot. His prestige, power and ability cannot to be underestimated. Besides, it is said that Rayburn is really career minded…

Yusef realizes Macy doesn’t answer his question and seems to be thinking about something else. He stretches out his hand, and as his upper body turns over, he directly presses Macy on the sofa.

Macy comes fully awake, catches the man's gaze, and takes a deep breath, "I cannot decide it. Isn't the power to make decision in the hands of Mr. Penn?"

Yusef chuckles, seeming to be amused by her serious compliment. His hands deliberately pinch her waist, and his chin gets close to her ear, "How can I be willing to replace, considering you would rather spill the hot coffee on yourself than on me?"

Macy gets a strange feeling around her ears, which is like an electric current extending to her all of limbs. Her breathing suddenly becomes quick.

Yusef feels the changes of her body, but still presses closer, rubs his chin running against her cheek.

Macy blushes, takes a deep breath, and reminds him softly, "Mr. Penn, now we are in the company..."

Smiling, he keeps teasing her deliberately, "You know there are some things that don’t have to be done at home."

Macy trembles, and her whole body becomes hot. She immediately pushes Yusef, gets up from the sofa, and takes two steps back to conceal her embarrassment, "Mr. Penn, I need to report something. The plan that this afternoon meeting Mr. Chan, the president of the City Marea Commercial Development Bank, has changed. You may have to wait until tomorrow. For this afternoon, we could arrange a meeting with the manager of Windix or Flourever.”

When it comes to work, Yusef suddenly turns solemn. He hesitates for a moment and says " Windix and Flourever can be postponed. I have other things to do this afternoon. Just arrange a driver for me."

"Okay." She looks at Yusef tentatively. Seeing that he keeps silence, she says, "If there is nothing else, I'll get back to work."

Just then someone knocks on the door, which is Yusef's subordinate coming to report the work. At the same time, Macy quickly leave the president's office.

When Macy walks out, she finds Yolanda standing not far from the office. As soon as they catch each other’s eyes, Yolanda walks towards her.

"It’s said that you spilled the coffee? Geez, why is your face so red? You get scolded?" Yolanda asks several questions in succession, her eyes filling with pride and curiosity.

Macy raises the hand to touch her cheek, and answers casually, "Yup."

Because of Macy's current appearance, Yolanda does believe that Yusef just scolded her, and becomes even more proud, "So stupid. I really don't understand why Mr. Penn would let you be his secretary!"

Macy looks at Yolanda, softly replying, "Mr. Rayburn is very strict, and he just said that Mr. Penn should replace my position..."

The corners of Yolanda’s mouth are almost reaching her ears, "Well, Mr. Rayburn is always known to be harsh, and if you make mistakes in front of him, you won't have a second chance!"

Macy smiles and continues to ask, "I accompanied Mr. Penn to attend a high-level meeting yesterday, why didn't I see Mr. Rayburn?"
