Chapter 197 - 197 Yun Xixi's Feelings

"Director, I'm sorry about barging in on you like this. However, I just could not help but worry about what had happened before. I am so ashamed of myself. Also, I had made you get angry like that. Wait, am I thinking too much about it? Am I jumping to conclusions again? I'm sorry." Yun Xixi immediately rattled out as soon as her b.u.t.t touched the cushion of the chair. 

October was speechless. She could only stare at the nervous Yun Xixi who was about to burst to tears but was biting her lips hard in hopes of controlling her tears which she had barely succeeded.

After being silent for a good moment, she had finally decided to open her lips, with a voice as flat as it could, "Yes, you really are thinking too much about. You are eventually learning now. This is one of your shortcomings, after all. But that's also one of your cuteness so I'm not really bothered with it much. Though I have to say that that was in the "angry" part."

"Are you really sure you are not angry?" Yun Xixi peered through her eyes to October who was as calm and collected as she always was. 

"Is there anything I should be angry about?" October raised her brow at this.

Yun Xixi instantly shook her head. She lowered her head for a moment and took a deep breath before straightening her back and sat properly, determination filled her eyes.

"I..."

Before Yun Xixi could finish what she was about to say, October had cut her off all of a sudden, much to her surprise. She even almost choked in her own saliva. 

"I think I have already said this to you before and I have to repear this to you. You really don't have to force yourself to tell. I know that it was something you don't want to talk about. It did made you so uncomfortable before enough to get you all so fl.u.s.tered." October nonchalantly said, seemingly uninterested. 

Yun Xixi's eyes windened in apprehension and shook her head at a rapid pace. "No. That's not it."

"Really." October looked away from Yun Xixi and to her laptop. 

"I like Assistant Yu Xi!" The chair scr.a.p.ed on the floor so abrubtly as Yun Xixi suddenly stood up from her chair. It was so sudden that she almost knocked the chair down. October also surprised by her big action accompanied by her unexpected and loud outburst. 

'Oh. So Xixi finally liked someone. But Yu Xi, huh. Lex's assistant? Well, not that I was so surprised about it.' October just silently looked at the overly fl.u.s.tered Yun Xixi with who had a face as red as a tomato. Even her neck was red. 

"I..." Yun Xixi felt uncomfortable under the silent gaze of October. She was anxious and had suddenly said that out loud. She tried to calm herself down and sat back on the chair as she lowered her head in embarassment as she repeated to say in a quiet voice, "I live Sir Yu Xi, Director. And I had accidentally told your husband about it because I thought it was you at first. That was Young Master Song, Director! He is the boss of Assistant Yu! Ga! I am so embarassed I want to die!" 

"Why are you not saying anything, Director?" She asked. "I am pouring my heart out here and is pretty worried about that incident."

October merely propped her cheek on the table and said to Yun Xixi with flat tone, "Yes, I heard you. But is there something wrong with that?"

That's right. To October, such thing was not something to be ashamed of. 

Of course, this was not the case for Yun Xixi. Her eyes wend in a daze as she looked at the honest eyes of October without any hint of malice or mischief. This was what her boss was truly thinking.

Noticing the disbelief in Yun Xixi's face, October added, "If it's about Lexus, I can tell you that he won't interfere with other people's business unless it benefits him. There is a question I would like to ask, Xixi."

Yun Xixi nodded, giving her consent. 

"Do you want this to be kept a secret?"

Yun Xixi fiddled with her hands nervously while also being thoughtful. 

'Am I keeping my feelings for him a secret?'

"Xixi."

Being called her name, Yun Xixi looked up and her eyes locked with October's. Her boss' eyes were just enchanting as if she was in a deep forest, peaceful and cool. 

"I am not saying that you can't keep your feelings for him a secret or show it. Do what you wanted to do. Just know that you would not regret not doing anything." October gave Yun Xixi a sincere advice. 

October knew that she was not the a person who is suited to give love advice since she herself have little experience with that; but so far, she had never regretted her past actions which eventually led to this current lifestyle she had. At least, not now and, hopefully, never.

"...Yes Director. I'll take your advice to heart. Thank you." 

"Mhm." October nodded her head slightly before returning to burry herself with work. 

At the shopping district, at one of the luxurious boutiques, Elise and her boyfriend was strolling around. It could he seen in her eyes that she was really in love with him and she was feeling happy. 

"Zi, what do you think suits me better, this emerald green dress or this coral?" She asked, feeling enthusiastic about the dressed on both hands as she held those up before her boyfriend. Her eyes sparkled as she waited for his reply. 

"Anything's fine. As long as you this great beauty are the one wearing it, then those dresses will naturally be beautiful too." He said sweetly and went to kiss her lips. 

Elise's cheeks blushed furiously and her eyes looked at the man before her as if he was the only person who could enter her eyes. 

"You're just saying that because you don't want to choose." She said while giggling. She then strode toward the full-length mirror to try and see the dress on herself before going to the fitting room. "I'll go try this on first. Can you please just wait there, Zi." 

"Okay. Just take your time." The man who Elise called as "Zi" said and went to leisurely sit on the black chaise longue to wait for Elise. He then picked up one of the magazines from the side table and casually flipped through the pages. 

The store manager and sales assistants could not stop themselves from giving the man a second and hard look. They felt like they have seen him before as if he was someone who they had seen on TV. 

Suddenly, one of the customers went to him and asked, "Are you Mr Zihao? That male model from Pole Magazine?"

"Yes?" The guy looked up with a kind smile on his face and instantly, all of the ladies squeeled in excitement. 

"Can I have photo with you? I am a big fan of yours." She said excitedly with a smile and bright look on her flushed face. 

"Sure." He nodded his head and the ladies had started to crowd around him in hopes of taking a photo with him or shake his hand. 

The store that was once peaceful and quiet had now turned into a crowded place packed with ladies. At the center of this crowd was that Zihao.
