Chapter 1028: Sizing Her Up

Chapter 1028: Sizing Her UpRaelle arrived at Shui Xian's company without a hitch. Even if she didn't inform before coming over, everyone was too enthusiastic about her visit. Why wouldn't they be? It was confirmed that she was the lady boss! With how much of a big deal their boss made out of the news of their wedding, it could be seen clearly what status she had in Shui Xian's heart.        

So, only an idiot would actually dare to go against Master Xian at this time.    

"Hello, President Raelle," greeted Shui Xian's assistant Ma Jin. He had been waiting right outside the elevator from the moment he heard that Raelle entered the company.      

As for how he heard it? It was very obvious.      

Raelle's presence had set off a storm within the chat groups in the company. Every single person was talking about her and was even finding ways to see her in flesh and blood. Who would want to miss a chance to show their face in front of their lady boss?    

"Hi, Ma Jin," replied Raelle. "Can I see my husband?"    

"Yes," replied Ma Jin without any hesitation. Why would he be hesitating? Hesitation would only get him sacked earlier.    

"Is he busy?" asked Raelle.    

"Master would never be busy for you."    

"Oh, no wonder my husband keeps you around. You really know how to talk."    

Ma Jin rubbed his nose, not knowing what to say in response to that.    

"You should take that as a compliment," said Raelle. "As the personal assistant of the boss, if you don't know how to talk, wouldn't there be no need for you here?"    

Ma Jin paused before he humbly said, "Then thank you for the compliment, President Raelle."    

"Oh, you didn't even realize it," responded Raelle as he frowned in confusion. "By complimenting you I was actually complimenting the vision of my partner."    

For a moment, Ma Jin was truly at a loss. He did not expect to be fed this dog food out of nowhere but why didn't he expect it actually? He should have expected it since it wasn't even the first time it was happening. This was why he avoided being at places with this PDA couple.      

"You can give this to me," Ma Jin extended his hand toward the box she was holding.    

"Do you think I can't even carry that?" asked Raelle. "I've been carrying the multi-national empire on my delicate shoulders from the time you were still studying. Are you looking down on me by saying I can't even carry a simple box?"    

Ma Jin was truly baffled but he got around it immediately as he said, "I didn't mean that. It's because I know that President Raelle is meant to do great things that I believe carrying this small box is insulting to your prestige."    

Raelle looked at him for a long while in silence making him a bit anxious. Damn! Why was it so difficult to stand still before President Raelle when she was all silent? It was so damn scary!    

"As I said, you're really good at talking," Raelle finally broke the silence and Ma Jin could finally breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed he said the right thing. Great! "Now, be honest, is my husband busy?"    

"He is having a video conference," informed Ma Jin honestly this time. "But you can wait at the side."    

"No, I'll wait outside," replied Raelle. She knew she'd be the biggest distraction to her husband if she showed up while he was working. No matter what, she didn't want to affect his work. So, she decided to just wait out.    

"This..." Ma Jin fell into a dilemma. He didn't think it was right but he could argue with Raelle actually.    

"Don't worry," said Raelle. "I'm fine with waiting. Just show me the waiting area."    

"This way please," Ma Jin gestured with his hand and lead her to the waiting area before asking, "Anything you want to drink?"    

"No, thanks. You can get back to work. Don't forget to inform me once he is done with his video conference."        

"I will," said Ma Jin as he turned to leave.    

Just like the last time she was here, Raelle could feel plenty of eyes on her. No, it should be mentioned that the attention on her was bigger this time. But she was very generous. She would let everyone see her and size her up and learn that they have nothing to fight with her. That way, she'd be able to eliminate 99% of sick delusional who thought they could get into their CEO's bed by acting like a white lotus.    

Just like Ruan Meilin did.    

Raelle wasn't naive enough to believe that there was just that delusional person in the whole company. Her husband was so charming, she wouldn't doubt for a second that only Ruan Meilin was caught by those charms.    

The number of females who found excuses to show up around her was greater than males. Most of those female employees looked like highly competent people too. Raelle had always appreciated people who were serious about their work but those who had other agendas were really not to her liking.      

But considering this wasn't her company, she obviously wouldn't do anything about these females who were sizing her up. She could just sit there being her and that was enough to insta kill these ladies who thought too highly of themselves and even believed that the relationship between her and Shui Xian was purely out of business interests.    

It was so laughable!    

"President Raelle, Master Xian is done with the video conference," Ma Jin came to inform Raelle who waited patiently for 30 minutes. He was the uncomfortable one during this time while Raelle looked way too comfortable. But then again, she was the lady boss. She had the right to be comfortable.    

Deep down, Ma Jin also understood that Raelle wasn't so comfortable because she was the lady boss. She was just being herself as always and it was hard to understand her mindset.
