Chapter 21: To Hit the Nail

Sigh. If they did not need Ye Chen’s help and were locked in a meeting in the office, she would have forgotten how Wang Rui and Chen Yingying looked like.

Envy?

What joke in the world was that?

Is there even a mite about the two of you that is worthy of envy?

Ye Chen’s eyebrows twitched at Anya’s comments. Did he dupe Anya? Was he in love with Anya? Ye Chen squinted his eyes, seemingly teasing Anya. “Ms. Cheng, your inner world is so rich with emotions!”

Cheng Anya politely bowed and smiled. “What nonsense. Boss Ye’s emotions are rich and colorful. I would be a laughingstock if my emotions weren’t as rich as my boss’.”

What Anya meant was that she had to be as tough and aggressive as her boss.

Ye Chen’s gaze twitched and gave Anya a death stare. How could she say something so vicious with a smile?

She had hit the nail!

Despite her innocence, what she said enraged people. In spite of her sweet smile, she said the truth and one would struggle to even get angry with her.

“Boss Wang, look! Even my secretary knows that investing in your company is futile. I look forward to our next collaboration. Ms. Cheng, please send the guests off!”

Wang Rui and Chen Yingying were unwilling to give up and had half the mind to further lobby Ye Chen. As Ye Chen threw a cold gaze around the room, shock and awe permeated the room, leaving everyone tense.

What a terribly cold gaze!

Ye Chen sat quietly, his handsome face devoid of any emotion and gaze cold to the touch. His silence reinforced his domineering presence, a presence only the apex of men had, stifling many around him.

Even Ye Chen’s countenance spooked the calm and insidious Cheng Anya.

This man was so powerful to the point of inspiring fear.

What an attractive face that was of little use! A small smile could seduce a lot of people, and any smitten person would fall for him.

“Wang Rui, Ms. Chen, please!” Cheng Anya politely sent them out.

“Anya, I am so disappointed in you!” Wang Rui said as he stared at her angrily. What a cardinal sin it seemed, for Anya to not speak up for Wang Rui.

Cheng Anya became silent.

What had she seen in him years ago? She was once young and ignorant!

An hour’s break in the afternoon.

“Anya, time to go for lunch!”

“You guys go ahead. I will pass as I’ve brought my own food from home,” Anya said as she waved her home-packed lunch. Her home-packed lunch, prepared by her son with love, was much better than any food from five-star hotels and left her feeling blissful.

“We are so envious of you! You are so lucky to have your boyfriend prepare lunch for you daily!”

“Okay, we’re hungry. Time for lunch!”

…

As Cheng Anya waved them goodbye, she then took out the takeaway lunch that Ning Ning prepared.

A cold voice gently asked, “Your boyfriend prepared lunch for you?” Cheng Anya felt a chill down her spine as her heart thumped. As cold sweat trickled down Anya, she said, “Boss Ye, could you stop spooking the daylights out of us? You will scare the daylights out of somebody someday.”
