Wang Lei was busy signing the documents that were piled on his table. With Yu Yan seated on the couch before him and was continuing to sort the next documents that Wang Lei is going to sign, both of them were quiet for many hours, actually comfortable in each other's silence.

Yu Yan looked at the time. She noticed that it was already an hour before lunch, making him look at her boss with a smile on her face as she suggested for him to take a break.

"Do you want coffee, Mr. Wang Lei? I will gladly bring one for you," she said, Wang Lei, still focused on the paper that he was skimming on before he signed it.

"No, thank you. I'll continue until I finish these papers."

Yu Yan furrowed her brows in wonder. She has never seen Wang Lei this focused on work before, making her worry as she was continuing to pile the papers that are with her.

'Hmm... is this his way of pushing the awkwardness that had happened in the front of our house that time?'

With that in mind, Yu Yan couldn't help but bite her bottom lip, nervous. With them also changing her schedule with an earlier time out as well, she thought that maybe Wang Lei is giving her more time so that when she leaves work earlier, he would find a replacement without her here.

'I hope that's not the case… right?'

"Yu Yan."

"Y-yes!?"

With Yu Yan suddenly feeling jumpy when she was drowning in her thoughts, Wang Lei put his pen down for a while and looked at her, arching a brow at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing, Mr. Wang Lei. I was… only focused with the papers that I'm sorting for you to sign."

"Oh."

Wang Lei pushed it aside and sighed, already standing up from his office chair and doing a stretch. From the looks of it, he already finished reading documents, amusing Yu Yan as he usually finishes signing and reading documents an hour after lunch time.

"If you're done, put the papers down on my desk and I will sign them after lunch," he said, Yu Yan, nodding as she continued to sort the documents.

"Of course, Mr. Wang Lei," Yu Yan replied, Wang Lei, now walking to his window to look at the skyscrapers before them.

With angry eyes now appearing on his face, he couldn't help but have his lips in a tight line as he was now pulled in his thoughts.

'This wretched man… I wonder when I will get an appointment with him,' he thought to himself.

Suddenly, the phone on his desk was ringing, making Yu Yan stand up to approach the table.

"Mr. Wang Lei, your phone—"

"No, it's alright," Wang Lei interrupted, walking to his desk in three large strides. "Focus on your work."

With Yu Yan blinking her eyes a few times as she was used to giving Wang Lei what he needed, she couldn't help but wonder why Wang Lei has suddenly turned into a different person after the event that had happened in front of her house.

"Yes? Mr. Ying. Have you told me what I asked you to?"

With Yu Yan hearing the familiar name, "Mr. Ying," she couldn't help but feel nervous that maybe Wang Lei is indeed going to replace her!

With anxiety now building up from within her, her fingers started to shake, her eyebrows furrowing as she wondered where she would work if ever she is going to be fired from Wang Lei's company.

Qing Yuan has already blocked her possible ways of getting a job. She could apply to other simple works, yes… but that is not enough to raise a child!

"Mr. Wang Lei, I have already secured you a meeting with Qing Yuan," he said over the phone, thankfully, the phone not in loudspeaker so Yu Yan won't hear.

"Good," Wang Lei commented with a nod, already fixing his tie with his free hand. "Today? What time?"

"I secured you the earliest time possible, Mr. Wang Lei. At lunch time."

"En."

Wang Lei then looked at the clock in his office. When he noticed that it was 30 minutes before lunch time, he thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to go now so he could further talk to him.

"Alright. I'll meet you down at the company's entrance in 10 minutes."

"Copy, Mr. Wang Lei."

With their call already ending, Wang Lei turned his body to look at Yu Yan, who was still seated on his white, leather couch.

"Yu Yan, I will be having an early lunch today. Remember to finish sorting the documents before lunch starts, then have your break."

As he was about to leave his office, Yu Yan abruptly sat up, making the papers on his lap fall on the floor, Wang Lei widening his eyes at her.

"Yu Yan, what are you—"

"Are you going to replace me, Mr. Wang Lei?" she interrupted, tears already pooling in her eyes. "I… I know that what might've happened back then in my house was something awkward and it may have irked you in any way, but you know I have a little boy and I—"

"Yu Yan…"

When Wang Lei interrupted his secretary, tears now escaped from her eyes. With her feeling desperate as she already liked her job and it was enough for her to raise her little boy and help her mother, she felt ashamed to be crying in front of her boss, her pride eaten as she was begging to stay.

"Hey…"

With Wang Lei's heart slightly aching with the sight of this, he felt uneasy. With him now approaching Yu Yan as he tipped her chin up to make her face him, he was taken aback to see vulnerability on his secretary's icy, calm face.

"I… I don't know what else to do if I'm going to lose this job. I—"

Wang Lei didn't know why, but he pulled Yu Yan in his arms. With her crashing onto his chest, she was surprised, her boss trying his best to comfort her by patting her head.

"You're thinking too much," he started, furrowing his brows as he never comforted a woman before. "I will just settle issues. You'll still be my secretary."

With that said, Yu Yan cried on his chest, relieved. With a nod against his body, Yu Yan felt grateful that her boss is not going to fire her.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang Lei… thank you…"

With her voice muffled against his chest, Wang Lei couldn't help but feel angry. With his eyebrows furrowing as he continued patting Yu Yan's back, he couldn't help but curse the man who hurt Yu Yan to make her this scared of losing her job.

'You're going to pay, Qing Yuan. You're going to regret that you ever did this to Yu Yan, and you will never forget that you crossed my path as karma.'
