Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Menu I didn’t know what Zach was thinking. The following week went smoothly. I learned the company structure, the ongoing projects. I gradually connected with managers and executives, having lunch and dinner with them to speed up the familiarization process. I needed them to cooperate. They’d initially been unfriendly; now they called me “Sister Yan” and “Boss,” even bringing me an extra cup of milk tea. Best of all... Zach didn’t make me wake the CEO from his nap. He always volunteered to make the morning coffee and afternoon tea. Zach was a good partner. I’d misjudged him.

Wednesday, I was going on a business trip with Evan. Two days, one night. Leaving in the morning, returning the next afternoon.

On Tuesday night, while packing, Sherry sat on my bed.“Wow, just the two of you. So exciting! You have to seize the opportunity!”

I covered her face with a shirt.“Seize what? I’m going for work.”

Sherry pulled the shirt down.“You can seduce him. Locking your heart doesn’t lock your body. Normal physical needs are good for health and longevity.”

I laughed.“Do you think he’s a male escort? Throw money at him, and he’ll let you do whatever you want?”

Sherry smirked.“Maybe he... will.”

Me:“You think he’s a male escort?”

Sherry:...She fell back onto the bed. Hopeless.

The next morning, I woke up fifteen minutes late. I grabbed a piece of bread and milk, rushing to the penthouse. Evan was having breakfast. I waited. The smell of bacon wafted over; it looked ordinary, but it smelled amazing. He ate some salad; the leaves looked so fresh, crunchy... I couldn’t imagine how delicious it was. I didn’t realize I was staring at his lips, occasionally swallowing, looking like I wanted to eat him.

“Secretary Wen...” Evan was unnerved.“Why don’t you sit and eat?”

“Oh, I couldn’t,” I said, sitting down anyway.

Gary made me a plate. He said the bacon was his secret recipe, the salad greens were from the Jones family orchard, picked at 6 AM, and every piece of fruit for the juice was freshly picked...

“I want a butler like Gary,” I said enviously.

“Dare to dream, and you shall receive,” Evan said calmly.
