"I'm sorry. I'm busy." After a brief order, the phone was hung up. Michelle held the phone weakly.
She just had a quick lunch, and then returned to her office to get busy. But during this time, that strange number kept calling her.
She didn't answer.
"Michelle, the CEO asked you to prepare the materials for the meeting later." The door was opened. It was the well behaved assistant.
With her head down, Michelle held a document in her arms and said in a very serious tone, "I see."
The assistant, as if sensing her bad mood, did not mean to leave, but asked with concern, "Michelle, you don't look good. Are you all right?"
"Don't worry. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Michelle shook her head with a smile, indicating that she was fine.
The assistant had no choice but to leave with a hollow smile. She still remembered that last time when she refused him, she felt very upset. But now they worked in the same company and they met all the time. Moreover, they had the same boss.
Being a friend was also a good choice since they couldn't be a couple.
She opened the door of the CEO's office with the tidy documents. She saw a beautiful face of Scott with a deep frown, her black eyes fixed on him, like a ferocious Eagle looking for its prey in the dark night, focused and serious.
Suddenly, she was so terrified.
She held the document and walked over carefully, like a child who had made a mistake.
Scott closed the file in his hand and couldn't help laughing. "Well, am I scary?"
