When Edith arrived at Neil's floor, Assistant Shawn was already waiting for her outside the elevator. The assistant looked at her with a slightly embarrassed expression and greeted, "Miss Qian."

Edith was slightly startled by the way this man addressed her. Previously, Assistant Shawn would always address her as 'Teacher Qian', but now that she was dating Neil, Assistant Shawn had started to address her as 'Miss Qian'.

As she recalled how Assistant Shawn had seen her sharing an intimate moment with his boss during her last visit, Edith's face turned slightly red.

"The guard notified me the moment you arrived," Assistant Shawn said. "Did you run into trouble?" 

By his calculation, Edith should have reached the floor five minutes ago, seeing that she was a little later, Assistant Shawn was worried. It was then that the guard informed him of the situation just outside the elevator. 

"No." Edith shook her head and hesitated.

Seeing that the woman had something to say, but was reluctant to say it, Assistant Shawn flashed her a comforting smile. "Miss Qian, if you have something to say or ask, then go ahead. If it was something that I can tell you, then I will." 

Edith thought of the assistant's words and decided to speak, "I run into that same woman from my last visit. The one who had her hair in a high ponytail."

"That was Manager Autumn Feng." His expression when he thought of that persistent manager. "Did she made trouble for you again? Miss Qian, the next time you saw her, you can just ignore her."

Assistant Shawn had heard of what happened between the manager and Edith from the guard. Although he knew that the incident was resolved without much trouble, it would not be a good thing if Edith was unhappy.

"It's not about that." Edith flashed a smile. "The last time I came here with Hazel, she had shown a strong dislike towards Manager Feng. Hazel mentioned that her mother did allow her to get close or talk to Manager Feng. Do you know why?"

Assistant Shawn was startled, but a few seconds later, an awkward smile appeared on his lips. "This was something that happened in the past." He let out a dry cough and looked away in embarrassment. "But the late missus found that Manager Feng was trying to get close to her husband."

Edith froze at the answer. Then, she forced a smile. "I see." She had thought of countless reasons why Hazel's mother might not like that pretty woman, but she was certainly not expecting the answer. Since Manager Feng posed no threat to Hazel, Edith decided to guard up against the woman.

However, Assistant Shawn had a different thought about it. He saw the relieved expression on Edith's face and decided to tell her another secret.

"After her attempts failed, Manager Feng has switched her target." Assistant Shawn flashed a smile that did not reach his eyes. "Recently, she was trying to approach President Mo through Little Miss Hazel."

Edith stared back at Assistant Shawn.

She definitely could not let her guard down against that woman, after all!

…

Neil was sitting behind his desk and his fingers glided swiftly on the keyboard. Hearing a knock on the door, he gave his permission for that person to enter and finally looked up from his computer upon finding that the footsteps do not belong to Assistant Shawn. The corner of his lips tilted up when his gaze met with Edith.

"You're here." He stood up and met her in the middle of the room. "I thought that you were not going to come." He bent down to kiss her lips and frowned as he noticed that her expression does not seem right. "What's wrong."

Edith narrowed her eyes. "President Mo, it seemed that you have quite a few admirers in your company."

Though this man often had a cold look on his face and was well known as Iceblock Mo in the company, he would still have admirers. There are still people who wanted the chance to get close to him.

He shifted his gaze towards the door and his frown deepened. "What did Assistant Shawn tell you?"

"Nothing." Edith shook her head. "I ran into that pretty lady with high ponytail hair. Then, I overheard that she was chasing you."

Neil heaved a sigh. "Well, I am not interested in her at all. I'm only interested in you." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. "Edith Qian, can you trust me more?"

"It's not that I did not trust you." Her mouth pouted a little bit. "It's just that, whenever I thought that there was someone else going after my darling, I feel a little uncomfortable. Moreover, she will have a lot of opportunities to see you."

Neil stared at the woman in his embrace and laughed, causing a secretary who happens to walk past his office to startle.

Edith punched at his chest lightly. "Don't laugh."

The laugh died instantly, but the smile on his face remained. He was slightly happy that his silly woman showed her jealous side.

"You silly woman. Do you think it would be easy for someone like Manager Feng to see me? Other than in meetings, we rarely have the chance to run into each other."

Of course, Neil did not mention that Autumn Feng would sometimes use her father who was one of the directors in MH Group to try and approach him.

"You have to have an access card to get to this floor. Other than a few trusted people, only you have the access to come and go to this floor as you pleased. Even the secretaries and the others will have to register and let the guard send them up here."

Edith thought about the strange look on Manager Feng's face when she saw her holding the access card just now. Another thought came to her mind and Edith struggled out of Neil's embrace and pulled out the access card from her bag.

Seeing that Edith had shoved the access card into his hand, a deep frown appeared on his face and his eyes darkened. "What are you doing?"

Edith did not notice the unhappy look on his face as she was still looking at the access card. "There should be a lot of company secrets stored on this floor. What if I accidentally lose this access card and someone, or your business competitors found this card and get the access to find out your secret. Then, that would bring you a lot of trouble."

If the company's secret was accidentally leaked out, wouldn't she turn to be one of the suspects? 

Though they were in a relationship, Edith did not want Neil to be troubled if something like that happened.

Neil's expression softened at her words. "The security at this company was not that weak." He pulled her close again and chuckled. "I gave it to you so that you can come and find me whenever you want." He saw that she was about to argue and speak again, "Next time, I hope that I don't have to lure you to come here and instead, come at your own will and give me a surprise visit. Therefore, you have to keep it with you."

Seeing the hesitant look on her expression, Neil bent down slightly to her height and looked straight into her eyes. He blinked a few times, imitating Hazel's adorable look as he tried to convince her that keeping the card with her would never be a problem for him or the company.

A helpless smile finally appeared on her lips and Edith nodded.. "Alright."
