Neil has been busy since the morning. With his intention to put Jamie in the accounting department, there were a few things that he had to prepare. After sending Assistant Shawn to deal with the HR Department, Neil walked into the meeting room to listen to their reports.

It was the beginning of a new month. There were a lot for them to discuss and the meeting lasted longer than it usually does. By lunch hour, the meeting was not yet adjourned. As the others went for their lunch break, Neil went back to his office and continued to browse through some files. An hour later, he got up again and headed to the meeting room to continue the meeting.

When Secretary An entered the room, she was not surprised to see that the lunch box she had left for the president was remained untouched. With a sigh, Secretary An took out the lunch box and was ready to toss them away. 

Just as she reached the pantry, Secretary An ran into Assistant Shawn and the man eyed the lunch box in her hand.

"President Mo didn't touch his lunch?" Assistant Shawn asked. He watched as Secretary An nodded and sighed. "Got it."

Assistant Shawn watched as Secretary An slid the lunch box into the bin and stood at the side. His lips pursed into a thin line as he was in deep thought. After a while, he took out his phone and texted a number.

…

Back at the Sunflower Kindergarten…

Edith was packing up her bag when her phone chimed. Picking up her phone, she was surprised to see that it was a text message from Assistant Shawn. 

His messages stunned her for a few seconds but soon, a frown appeared on her face.

Earlier that morning, Neil had informed her that he was going to be busy at the office today. Knowing that he was going to be busy, the two of them did not have their video call during her lunch hour like they usually did. 

However, Assistant Shawn had suddenly texted her to tell her that her boyfriend has not had his lunch earlier and he was wondering if she could show up and coax him to eat something.

After working with his boss for years, Assistant Shawn knew that Neil had this habit to skip lunch when he was too busy with work. Worried that he was going to have another gastric problem, Assistant Shawn decided to ask for Edith's help. 

Usually, no one would be able to convince their boss to stop looking at the documents for seconds and have something to pad his stomach. Therefore, Assistant Shawn was counting that the president's girlfriend might be able to do the trick.

Of course, once Edith knew that her boyfriend was not eating well, she started to worry.

After giving a call to Nanny Ann and informed that she was going to return late, Edith stopped by a restaurant near the kindergarten to buy some food and took a taxi to MH Group headquarters.

Because it was the working hour and the employee was busy, there were not many people in the lobby and no one had noticed that she had used her access card to enter the special elevator.

When she arrived, Assistant Shawn was already waiting for her outside the elevator. "Miss Qian, thank you for coming. I heard from the security that you've arrived and decided to wait for you here." His lips stretched up to a smile. Assistant Shawn glanced at the paper bag in Edith's hand and asked, "Is that for President Mo?"

Edith nodded. "How is he? Is the meeting over yet?"

"They are still in the meeting room. But I think they should reach an agreement soon. President Mo and the others will come out soon."

Edith hesitated. "Are you sure it's alright for me to be here? I don't want to distract him when he's busy." A thought came to her mind and Edith made a suggestion, "Or I could leave the food with you. Just tell him later that I came to visit."

Assistant Shawn eyed the paper bag but did not take it. "Miss Qian, I think it is better if you stay and accompany President Mo for his meal." He touched the back of his neck and said, "Actually, I have another intention when I asked you to come over and bring something for President Mo."

Edith looked at the man with a puzzled look.

"After hours of meeting, President Mo's mood was not in the best mood." Assistant Shawn flashed an embarrassed smile. "There were a lot of others who were affected by his bad mood. I was hoping that your presence could help President Mo to be in a better mood."

A laugh escaped her. "Assistant Shawn, you think too highly of me. I don't think my presence will make any changes in his mood."

"Miss Qian, whenever you are around, President Mo's mood would turn better," Assistant Shawn said. "I've worked with him for years and I could see that your presence indeed would be able to make his mood better." 

"So, you tricked me into coming over," Edith teased. 

Assistant Shawn laughed. Before the woman could say a word to reject his suggestion, he had already ushered her towards his boss's office. "Miss Qian, please wait for President Mo in his office. I think the meeting should end in half an hour tops. President Mo only had a few cups of coffee since morning. I am only his assistant and he would not listen to me when I urge him to have something to eat."

Hearing his words, Edith could not reply to him. "Alright. I'll go and wait for him in the office. Assistant Shawn, you go and keep your self busy. I know the way to his office."

Assistant Shawn nodded and turned around to head over to the meeting room. 

Since Edith had come over a few times, the people who were working on the floor had recognized her and no one said a thing when she entered the President's office.

…

A while later, the door to the meeting room swung open and the managers walked out with a serious expression on their faces. They have spent hours in the meeting and their boss had scolded some of them for their incompetency when he noticed a mistake. Naturally, everyone was in a bad mood. 

When Neil stood up from his chair, Assistant Shawn walked over to him and whispered, "President Mo, Miss Qian came over a while ago." Seeing the way his boss's expression brightened up, Assistant Shawn's lips curled into a smile, knowing that his plan had worked. 

"Where is she?" 

"Since you were still in the meeting room, she decided to wait for you in your office."

Neil gathered the file on the table and walked out quickly. However, just as he reached the door, Henry was waiting for him outside. The smile on his face dimmed and a frown appeared on his face. "Why are you here?"

Henry stared at his friend speechlessly. "Didn't you asked me to come and bring that person over? Since you were in a meeting, I asked Jamie to wait for you in your office."

The atmosphere around suddenly turned cold and Neil's expression turned frightening.

At the thought that Edith and Jamie were meeting in his office, Neil grew anxious.. He slammed the stack of documents to Assistant Shawn's hand and ran over to his office.
