I was stunned. I understood his “sorry for his earlier words in the bedroom. So? The harsh boss had a change of heart? But what did his later words mean? I analyzed each word. L… understood. He was angry that I hadn’t entered his room; he was disappointed that his secretary was so timid, preoccupied with trivial thoughts. His final words made sense now; he wouldn’t allow anything to happen between us, no room for gossip.
I felt a pang of guilt. I nodded solemnly. “I understand. You’re right. An innocent person has nothing to fear.”
Evan… He felt the awkward silence,
My mood improved as I went downstairs. Evan was difficult, but he’d also lowered his guard, clearing the air. No more misunderstandings.
In the middle of the night, half–asleep, I heard a text notification. I reached for my phone and opened it. It was from Evan: Secretary Wen, remember to come to work tomorrow. Too sleepy, I replied, half–closed eyes, using one hand: Okay, Boss,
I didn’t notice my finger slipped, hitting “g” instead of “b“…“Okay, Boss” became…“Okay, Husband.” I dismissed the message, threw the phone aside, and went back to sleep.
The next morning, 7:30 AM. Gary had set out breakfast. The CEO was going to the office. Normally, he’d wake at 6 AM for a run, have breakfast by 7, read the financial news, make calls or have video conferences in the garden, and leave for the office at 9. But he was injured, so his schedule was later. It was 8 AM, and he was still in his room. Zach arrived, surprised to hear the CEO hadn’t woken up.“What happened last night? Did he finally go clubbing?” It was a joke, of course. Even without his injury, the CEO rarely went out at night.
Gary, hands clasped, sighed, “It’s strange. The CEO never sleeps in.” Neither of them dared to knock.
At 8:30 AM, Evan emerged, looking tired, his eyes slightly dark. Zach and Gary exchanged glances. Did he really go clubbing?
Evan ignored them and went to the dining room. The two men followed. He started his breakfast. Zach, thinking he was in a bad mood, hesitated to mention the schedule. Gary just served him quietly.
Evan took a sip of juice.“Mmm, the juice is delicious today.”
Zach:… Gary:…Wasn’t it the same juice as always? Maybe the fruit was exceptionally sweet?
Evan continued eating, his appetite excellent. Zach hesitated to interrupt. His phone rang. He looked at it, muttering, “Secretary Wen is calling so early.” He went to answer it outside.
