Sometimes late at night she stayed up thinking  if he actually thought of her.
Did he?

It became her obsession.

She even had vivid dreams of his playful voice during that one dinner they had.

The man had actually said, no to her. It was infuriating for someone who always got her way.

He pretended nothing happened, even when she gave her weekly report he only thanked her and made very minimum interaction.

The thing that irritated her the most was the way he made it clear he was not interested. He didn't even spare her a second glimpse.

She felt completely ignored, even worse than before.

To make matters worse Dylan Wang's new associate was young, beautiful and showing much fascination for him.

Mr. Wang had asked the legal team to drop by to make a new contract.

Petterson was the one who always took over while Shen Yue and Nicky Li made notes or changed any sort of legality.

Diana was very much like the rest of the women that made eyes at the new shiny toy.

Nicky sent Yue a text under the table.
"Poor thing, she thinks he's straight!"

Shen Yue had gotten to know Nicky Li and actually became close in a matter of days. Nicky was very open person which made it easier to like her.

They drafted a document inside the large meeting room.

Dylan dismissed them right after staying with his business partner. Shen Yue wanted to smack Mr. Wang's smug face.

She opted to curse his name on her way to her office.

She needed to let some steam out.
She called the only soul who tried to understand her, Darren Chen.

"Ma'am I'm taking a very important business call. Thank you!"

Shen Yue rolled her eyes, he was pretending she was a client.
"Chen get better with the excuses."

He snorted from the other side.
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss, I'm just a poor paralegal with minimum knowledge, how can I help you?!"

Shen couldn't help but to be infected by his light mood.
"Seriously Chen I might canonize you into a saint."

Darren let out a loud laugh.
"Miss this is the first time I hear you talk anything close to religion. That can only mean one thing ..."

Darren Chen was not the sort to swear, he preferred to always stay classy. Such a ladies man, charming and gentle.

"It's my idiot boss. He is trying to drive me crazy."

Darren had a hard time believing the brazen Shen Yue.
