Chapter 72 - Clearing Things Up

"Who says I can't keep my promise?!" She gave him a small glare in response to his question. If she wanted to she would make sure that they never kissed again! Not that she planned on doing anything of the sort but in hypotheticals she would never break something she swore to.

There was a slight pause as she waited for him to comment back. Her body was relaxed while she sat on the edge of the desk but her body turned cautious from the look in his eyes. A strange glint passed through his eyes before he suddenly leaned closer to her. His face was next to hers, cheeks a hair distance away before he spoke flirtatiously in her ear. "Then I guess I'll have to make sure you never make that promise...." With that sentence he pressed a quick kiss against her ear before returning to his original position. He settled back into a lazy stance as he gazed at her.

Ying Yue's ears burned from his touch as he snuck a kiss on her. She hadn't expected him to kiss her. Intruding her personal space? Yes, but not a sweet kiss. Something about feeling his lips on her ear made her naturally heat up. Quickly pushing it to the back of her mind she calmly looked back at him without showing anything on her face. His face held an amused smile as if he could see through her but dropped to a more serious expression a couple seconds later. "Kitten, I appreciate you bringing over the chip but next time call or text me. No need to go through so much to see me, I'll have Shufen pick you up from the reception or outside the building too."

Sighing, she crossed her arms and responded back. "I told you I forgot, I did not expect to deal with such circ.u.mstances as soon as I requested to see you. As soon as they started showing attitude I was too far gone to leave before finishing my act. Well I did have some unexpected help from Director Wei, he helped me in the end. That reminds me...are you guys friends?"

A cold look entered his eyes when he heard her take Zhuang Wei's name. "Why do you need to know about him...singing praises of him so fast. Guess I did not punish you enough."

She rolled her eyes at his childish behaviour, "stop being so childish. You know what I mean, just answer the question."

"He's my childhood friend and one of my closest confidants. You've heard him before, the "honey" who called me on my phone during our cooking date. We're practically brothers."

"Ah! That's why his voice sounded so familiar! I knew I had heard it somewhere but it was only a vague feeling. He's a good guy, quite smart too as soon I met him he had impressed me. Felt like he matched what I assumed would be a director of the famous 'Han Corporation.' Sneaky though, used my scene to send those secretaries to HR."

A slight frown was on his face as he heard her increase the amount of compliments towards his friend. It was obvious she was making them as a casual remark and he knew it was nothing more than a friend, but he still did not enjoy listening to it. Seemed that until he had her fully in his grasp then he would succ.u.mb to childish feelings such as this. "He is a sneaky man, a very good strategist. Even I have to stay cautious lest I get trapped in his pranks....but enough about him. What do you want to do about the secretaries?"

Her eyebrow shot up as he heard his question. "What do you mean? They've been fired already."

"We both know that's barely enough to cover their disrespect towards you. The fact that they treated you like this means that I've blacklisted them in the industry. They'll have a hard time finding a job after this but what punishment do you want to give?" He felt subtle anger flow through him at the idea of his Kitten getting disrespected in his territory. Yes she is able to handle it but he'd rather not have to put up with it within his area at least. He had noticed those secretaries extra looks and overly friendly attitude but he paid it no mind. To think that it made them become deluded and act rashly against a guest was unexpected. Who knew how many others have been subject to their unprofessional behaviour? He really should have a talk with the HR director and make our hiring procedures more strict.

"You'll let me hand out the punishment? I mean their delusioned girls I think black listing is suitable..." She could understand why they had been blacklisted. Such behaviour was extremely inapproriate and could affect his company's reputation as a whole. Luckily it was just her but if another VIP or important client came that also happened to be female and was then subject to the same thing - could be detrimental. Especially since they had made physical attempts to harm people, that's a law suit in itself. Firing them would probably be fine too but blacklisting them was also setting an example to the rest of the employees that this behaviour would not be tolerated.

"Yes, but you are the victim. You truly have nothing else you want to do?"

Mulling over it a fun idea came into her mind. "Actually....I think I have one small idea. Can you have them sent here?"

"What do you want to do?" He reached towards his buzzer to pass on the orders to Shufen but he was curious of what she was going to do. She held a mischevious look in her eyes that meant she was up to no good but equally playful. Either way she would not tell him, he'll just have to wait to see what she does when they arrive.
