  “You are early, Supervisor Nian,” a voice suddenly spoke from behind Nian Xiaomu.

  Nian Xiaomu was startled, and she stood up from her chair.

  Turning around, her pupils shrank when she saw Wen Yadai standing behind her.

  Indeed, one should not talk about someone behind his or her back.

  Speak of the devil!

  Reaching out, Wen Yadai held her shoulders and asked in concern, “Did I scare you? I am sorry, I didn’t know that you were in the middle of your thoughts and greeted you so suddenly. Are you alright?”


  As Nian Xiaomu snapped back to her senses, she flashed a smile and replied, “I am fine. Good morning, Manager Wen.”


  Wen Yadai only released her grip on Nian Xiaomu after noticing that she was indeed fine and dangled a bag that contained breakfast foods before her.

  With a smile, she asked, “It’s not early anymore. By the way, why are you here at such an early hour? Have you had breakfast?”


  She spoke in a very gentle tone and absolutely did not put on any airs with her approachable attitude.

  For most people, they probably wouldn’t have the chance to have a superior like this even if they prayed sincerely everyday.

  “… I am not hungry.” Just when Nian Xiaomu opened her mouth to reply to Wen Yadai, she saw that Wen Yadai was frowning and casting a disapproving glance at her.

  “You must eat some breakfast even if you are not hungry. Oh, I just happened to buy an extra sandwich.” As Wen Yadai spoke, she took out a sandwich from the bag and placed it on Nian Xiaomu’s desk.

  “You are now an asset of our department. There are many things that I will need you to help me with, so don’t stand on ceremony with me.”


  After finishing her piece, Wen Yadai did not give Nian Xiaomu a chance to reject.

  Right after Wen Yadai flashed her a smile, she walked away and headed straight into the manager’s office.

  “…”


  As Nian Xiaomu stared at her disappearing back, she twisted her head around and took a glance at the sandwich on the desk.

  The expression in her eyes turned complicated.

  The same feeling hit her again…


  An unexplainable feeling bloomed in Nian Xiaomu’s heart as she looked back on how Wen Yadai had treated her.

  Wen Yadai was very nice to people.

  Her attitude toward others was so nice that one would feel like a soft breeze had descended on their faces when talking to her. Even when she was speaking to a stranger, she would treat him or her in a soft and gentle manner as well.

  Right from the first time when they had met, Wen Yadai had not harbored any enmity toward Nian Xiaomu

  Wen Yadai was the first to accept her from the time when she was suddenly appointed to the public relations department. Wen Yadai had even entrusted her with important tasks.

  Technically speaking, she shouldn’t suspect Wen Yadai.

  However, something did not feel right about her…


  Could it be that she was indeed overthinking it?

  The employees in the department soon arrived one by one.

  Someone started to make fun of Nian Xiaomu and said, “Supervisor Nian, it seems that you have had a good night’s sleep—you are so early today.”


  All of a sudden, the image which Nian Xiaomu had taken great difficulty to forget flowed back into her mind the moment she heard this sentence.

  Yu Yuehan’s detestable face as well her shameless boast of wanting to get closer to him flashed past her eyes…


  “Supervisor Nian, what happened? Your face has turned so red all of a sudden.”


  “It’s nothing much. The heater in the office is at a very high temperature, and it’s a little warm, so I’ll go out to take a breather!” As Nian Xiaomu replied, she turned around and ran toward the washroom.

  A colleague walked toward her before she could get out of the administrative area.

  “Supervisor Nian, the contract for Mr. Lombardi has been completed. Do I send it to the design department now?”


  Nian Xiaomu paused in her steps and slightly lifted her head up.

  “Yes, let the design department follow up for the later stages of work. However, our department will still be the one that is in charge of publicity, so we will still need to work hand in hand with the design department and continue to pay attention to this project.”


  Just as Nian Xiaomu finished speaking her last sentence, she noticed that the secretary was walking toward her in a rush.

  “Supervisor Nian, I just received news from the design department. Mr. Lombardi’s studio seems to have met with some problems—up until now, they still have not sent us the blueprint as previously promised!”


  “What did you say?” Nian Xiaomu was taken aback.

  Immediately, she turned around, walked back to her seat, and whipped out her cell phone to call Lombardi.
