Chapter 1356 We Concluded

"How are the new assistants working, Chief?" Raelle put down the document she was going through when she heard Cloe's random question. "Good!"

Cloe stared at her when she responded that way.

"What?" asked Raelle.

"Have you gone soft or I was just not worthy of your compliments?" asked Cloe straightforwardly because it did hurt her self-esteem when Raelle so easily evaluated those youngsters as 'good' while she had to work so hard but could hardly hear 'acceptable' from Raelle.

"I am still the same," replied Raelle. "At least, when it comes to professionally. You see when you first came on a trial period to work with me, Yanyan asked me how I was liking your work and I told her, 'excellent' at that time."

Cloe was happily surprised to know this, "I was so highly evaluated?"

"Why else would you be here? Did I look like I had the patience to cultivate someone for years?" asked Raelle.

"But you're always stingy when it comes to me," she couldn't hold back her grudge.

"I didn't want you to get inflated with pride. See, because I was stingy, you became exceptional and irreplaceable from just excellent. My stinginess did all that."

"Wow! You can really justify anything," marveled Cloe as she shook her head.

"We are going to the HQs soon. Hopefully, you're prepared for that."

Cloe looked at her and snickered, "Chief, we are going to Country G for your wedding ceremony. Not for work. Are you forgetting it?"

"Damn, that hurts!"

"Well, suck it up! I guess you must have mastered the trick of sucking it up after spending so long by my side."

"I do know," replied Cloe. "But it's so not nice to see me making a fool of myself and not saying anything."

"First, I found it quite entertaining. Second, I knew you wanted me to ask so that you could show off but I just did not want to give you that satisfaction either. Third, I just don't care enough about that ring on your finger!"

"Woah! That hurts! That hurts a lot! Slow down! There is no need for so much attack in such a short time."

"Well, I thought you needed to know that. Just as a reminder that I am still the same Raelle Xiang who doesn't give a fuck about anything else when she is working."

"Then I should be glad I found you during the lunch break," said Cloe.

"Yes. Certainly. If you had waited any longer, I would have let you brew your emotions till we clock out from work."

"Well, you are indeed evil! What was I even expecting? Oh, that's right. I was expecting a simple and plain congratulations from you! My bad! I guess it was too much to ask for."

"Congratulations, Cloe!"

Cloe looked at her and sighed, "Thanks."

"I hope you had fun with your proposal. I should congratulate you for your efforts. Do let me know when you're getting married so we coordinate the work during that period and allow you to have a long and happy vacation for wedding and honeymoon."

"That's more than I was hoping for. What's gotten into you? From pure evil, how are you walking towards goodness? Don't do that. It doesn't suit you."

"Henceforth, we concluded that you are just never happy with whatever version of Raelle Xiang you have to face."
