My Lost Love | YiZhan

Chapter 3

Yibo came back to office at around 3p.m. He then indulged himself in work and I was quite busy myself, organizing his files and arranging his meetings. It was 6 in the evening & it was time to log out. I settled the remaining files on my table and then took the completed files to Yibo's table. He looked at me and smiled.

"Are you logging out now? "

"Yes, only if you permit me to. " I chuckled. He laughed.

"Well, you can log out at 6 everyday and that doesn't require my permission. But, I guess I'll have to trouble you incase of extra work. I'll avoid troubling you as much as possible. "

"That wouldn't be a problem. It's my responsibility as your PA to lessen your burden. You can call me anytime if my help is required. "

"I thank you in advance. " He smiled.
"You are staying at The Skyline, right?"

"Yes."

The Skyline was a 32-story building, owned by the WANG GROUPS. This huge building had hotels, restaurants, gaming centers, mini-flats, etc. Many employees who work at the WANG GROUPS either resided at these hotels or owned a mini-flat. The company had provided me with a mini-flat at the 28th floor with the required facilities.
Wang Yibo, who was the CEO of the company, resided at his huge penthouse on the 32nd floor.

"I can drop you then" He suggested.

I agreed. We both left the workplace & went to the parking lot where his red Porsche Panamera was parked. I sat at the front passenger' seat. He took the driver' seat.

"Seatbelt."

"Huh? "

"Wear your seatbelt. "

"Oh! Yeah. "

I'm not lying, I seriously forgot to wear my seatbelt & I even forgot how to wear it. *cough* Maybe because I was tensed. He sensed the situation & leaned in to help me. We were back at that awkward situation, our faces just inches apart. But he quickly retreated this time. *I wasn't disappointed. You have to trust me*
He helped me with the seatbelt, then he wore his & started the engine.

We reached The Skyline in no less than 20 minutes. He gave his car keys to the guard to park it. We both went in the elevator together. I got off at the 28th floor.

"Goodnight" He said.

"Goodnight, Mr. Wang. " I smiled.
That's how my first day at work ended.

........................................................................

It has been 2 weeks since I started working here. Yang went to Beijing a week back as he had some unfinished business there. Yibo would usually pick me up from my flat which was 4 floors beneath his. We both used to get off work together too. I didn't want to trouble him but he insisted. Us coming & leaving together made a few to raise their brow. It was my 8th or 9th day at work when I eavsdropped Yibo and Emily's conversation. It wasn't on purpose. I was on my way to the CEO's office which was mine too. I was about to open the door when I heard them speaking.

"Was it really necessary to hire a new PA? "

"It was, Emily. I don't understand why you are soo angry over this trivial matter. "

"It may be a trivial matter to you Bo, but it isn't for me. What was the need to hire a PA when you had me? "

"You are the secretary of this company, Emily. You have your own responsibilities. I can't burden you with more. "

"But I never considered it as a burden. "

"I understand. "

"No. You don't. Was it because of Yang? You never say no to him. Was it because he suggested you to hire a new PA? "

"Now why are you dragging Yang into this. " There was hint of annoyance in his tone.

"I don't like it, Bo. I seriously don't like it. How can you hire a PA even without your Mother's permission? "

"Now why the hell are you dragging my mother into this? " He was annoyed.

"Why are you picking him up to work & dropping him back? "

"Emily, it's not like what you think. He's just my PA. I don't even know him properly. He's just like any other employee in my company. I pick him up and drop him just because we stay at the same place and also because there are things that I need to discuss with him regarding my work and my schedule. So please stop stressing yourself out. He's just my PA. "

I felt a warm liquid trickling down my cheeks. I quickly wiped it off and walked away.

Yes, I need to wake up now. I'm just his PA. It's time for me to come out of my delusional world and to start treating him as my boss. I was just his PA after all.

Emily would often barge into his office, everyday, at any given time. She would bring stuffs from famous restaurants and bakeries & would force him to eat.

"Hi, Bo. "

'Think of the devil and the devil is here. '

"Guess what? I cooked your favorite *Japchae today. Here, taste it. "

"What? Are you serious? Wow, Emily! You are the best! " He gave her a thumbs up.

"Here, come I'll feed you. Say Ahh... "

God! Soo cheesy! Can't she find any other better way to flirt with him.

"I'm so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love.
I'm so sorry but it's fake love, fake love, fake love. "

I sang to myself. I didn't realize that it was loud enough for them to hear. I felt a pair of eye smiling at me and another pair of eye sending me death glares. I looked at them & smiled innocently.

Well, it wasn't my fault. Who the hell asked her to he soo cheesy?

"Are you a singer by any chance? " His question surprised me.

"Huh? Oh! Yes! I used to be one. "

"Your voice is sooo good. " He said throwing me his charming smile.

"How I wish I get to hear your beautiful singing everyday. " He said smiling.

"But you gotta pay extra for that. " I chuckled.

"Well, I'm ready to do anything to hear you sing again. " He said as he laughed.

Emily eyed our whole conversation & still didn't speak. It was quite surprising. She left the office as she had an important meeting. It was around 4 p.m that I received a message, from an unknown number.

'Don't forget who you are. You are just a no one. Fuck off, bastard. He's mine.'

*Japchae: Korean stir-fried glass noodles.
