"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?"
"Boss, please deduct some money from my salary." She walked a few more steps forward, lowered her head and apologized.
Scott didn't look up at her, but said casually, "Never mind. It's just a coat."
Michelle wanted to say something, but when she saw the serious look of Scott, she bit back the words she wanted to say.
After she entered her office, she couldn't help but look out of the window. Then she pulled out a chair and sat down. Looking at the screen in front of her, she was suddenly at a loss.
She didn't stop until she was off duty.
When she stormed out of her office with her bag, she found that the door of the opposite office was closed. She didn't know if Scott was still there. She stood at the door for a while patiently. She didn't leave until she made sure that there was no noise inside.
