The Cage Of The Past

Chapter 8 - 8: Bump into the CEO

The fragrant white chrysanthemums scattered all over the place, the man reached out and held Xiaoxi Chen, then roared. " What are you doing?" "I'm sorry!" Xiaoxi said with tears in her eyes and subconscious apology. Suddenly she stunned, this voice?

"Are you always in a rush? " The deep voice came from the top of her head. She raised her head and shocked. She immediately stepped back. "CEO, what are you doing here?

"What about you? Rouzhen Gu looked at her. After a few minutes he spoke, his voice was low and dull.

"Sweeping the grave" Xiaoxi was thinking, she was really weird of course CEO came here for his family friends who also been buried here maybe. It's impossible to come to the cemetery for a walk?

"Oh!" He snorted still looking at her, no longer speaking, both of them stood on the path of the cemetery. He did not speak either, Xiaoxi Chen did not know what to say. Carefully glanced at the person in front of her, her heart was so nervous without reason. "C- CEO, I will help you buy another bunch of flowers, so sorry Sir!" Her apologetic tone.

"No need!" Rouzhen Gu wearing a black cotton shirt and decent black trousers just rightly highlights the strong physique and slender legs. The indifference expression is filled with his arrogant face and takes a glance at the floor where scattered chrysanthemums were there. Xiaoxi Chen subconsciously squats down. "Then I help you to pick it up!"

"Ok!" he said.

Fortunately, the flowers were not damaged. Xiaoxi was upset, why she's on a rush without looking her way. She actually bangs into the CEO. She sorted out the flowers after picking it back. She is able to arrange it perfectly as it looks beautiful again.

Rouzhen Gu looked at her with a serious facial expression observing the woman busy picking those flowers on the ground. His eyes slit, could not see her emotions properly. He is wondering why she's in a hurry.

Finished up, Xiaoxi Chen is smiling then give the flowers that she arranged back to its original look. Not bad at all she said silently. Suddenly she felt a gaze at the top, so she immediately stopped to smile. She's looking at Rouzhen's deep eyes.

She was beautiful when she smiled, that sweet smile was like a curse that made him stunned. This little kitten really making him crazy. He heard her giggling awkwardly while happily looking at the flowers she able to fix back. The laughter was calm, a satisfaction like the flowers blooming in the wilderness that can be described as beautiful enchantment.

He is trying to control his emotions while looking at this woman. She is now repeating her words that make him return to reality. "Sir, your flowers! "Really sorry!" Rouzhen Gu took the flowers, their hand accidentally touched each other and they were both shocked. It's like electricity traveling down from their body igniting unexplainable feelings. Xiaoxi quickly withdrew her hand, Rouzhen Gu nodded slightly and did not show much expression.

"Erm, sir I am leaving now!" She didn't wait for his answer then left.

"Ok!" It was a simple whisper he utters while looking at her back figure.

Xiaoxi Chen sighed. She's like been hunted by a certain ghost and able to escape. Why all of a sudden she bump to her boss.

She bang to the CEO in the cemetery and she's still wondering why he was there, is it that the death anniversary of her boss relatives and her mom are on the same day? Xiaoxi Chen left ten meters away, stopped and turned doubtfully. She saw Rouzhen Gu's tall figure heading toward the eastern part of the cemetery, that direction was also the place where her brother buried.

Xiaoxi Chen brother died in a car accident and was placed in the eastern part of the cemetery. When her mom passed away, she wanted to put them together however there was no space in there.

She did not expect that the loved ones of the CEO were buried in the same place too. Xiaoxi Chen sighed, she felt sorry for her mom, she originally wanted to see them together today but it has been ruined by his father's presence. She promised she would visit next time and spend time with her brother's grave in his death anniversary.

Monday…..

"Secretary Chen, did you print the documents?" Xui Huang suddenly came to her, wearing a white v-neck silk dress showing her cleavage and sėxy figure again.

"What documents?" Xiaoxi Chen did not understand what she's saying.

"Don't you see the email I sent you when I got off work last Friday? "Xui raised her eyebrows. Xiaoxi Chen stunned, indeed, she did not check her email account. She did not expect Ms. Huang to send an email at that time, but she is clearly in the company.

Xiaoxi Chen stood up and lowered her eyebrows. "Sorry, I didn't see the mail!"

"Secretary Chen, you are too unprofessional. Do you know that you should always open your mailbox after work, as a secretary to the CEO it is your responsibility and it seems you didn't do your job well"?

"Sorry, Ms. Huang it's my mistake!"

"What to do now? CEO needs the documents later but it has not been translated yet?" asked Ms. Xui. " Secretary Chen this is what the CEO ordered!"

" I will translate now!" Xiaoxi Chen already understands that Ms. Xui is framing her and giving trouble.

Mei stood up at this time. "Sister Xui how is it possible to translate such a thick document in such a short time?"

"If she can't translate it, it is her problem, I rely on the information to her base on CEO's command!" Ms. Xui put the documents on Xiaoxi's table and strutted away. While they are arguing on the other corner a tall figure witnessed this situation and the lips were slightly hooked up. It seems that there is a good show to watch! Really lively!

"Xiaoxi she intentionally making things difficult for you, aren't you recognize it? " Mei Zhao whisper to Xiaoxi. She knows how this bitch gives trouble to her friend.

"It's okay!" Xiaoxi Chen smiled bitterly, without guessing she also know Xui Huang was angry at the coffee incident.

"This document has sixteen pages, you can't finish it!" Mei said.

"Two beautiful ladies, who can give me a cup of coffee?" The sudden voice interrupted them.

Xiaoxi looked back and saw Zion Ni. When Mei looked at Zion Ni's handsome face she immediately felt blushed. Xiaoxi Chen just sat still and quickly browsed the documents in her hand.

"Manager Zion, good morning! I will brew a cup of coffee for you but the taste might not better than Xiaoxi's coffee. Mei Zhao tells the truth even the CEO likes the coffee which is done by Xiaoxi.

"Really? Well, let her brew and you chat with me!" Zion Ni smiled and looked at Xiaoxi Chen. "How? Ms. Chen doesn't want to help?"

Xiaoxi Chen raised her face and saw Zion Ni had looked at her with a deep unpredictable look. " I'll do it!" she said without hesitation.

Zion Ni saw the documents on Xiaoxi Chen's table. Um, still have fifteen minutes before the meeting starts. Although it is hard to translate so many documents! This girl still calm, it really makes him curious!

"Manager Ni, here is your coffee!" Xiaoxi Chen handed the coffee to him.

"Well! Good! Ms. Chen, where did you learn the technique of making coffee like this?"

"At the coffee shop sir!" Xiaoxi Chen calmly replied that she used to work in a certain coffee shop for a year, before nineteen years old. Nineteen years old again, it reminded her old most darkness year of her life.

"Oh! No wonder!" Zion Ni raised his eyebrows. "Then will you make tea also?"

Xiaoxi Chen looked up and saw his eyes and she said to herself, isn't this man is deliberately coming to chat with her, she is thinking while busy doing her job.

"Did I interrupt your work?" Zion Ni raised his eyebrows, his beautiful face was not embarrassed but took it for granted. "Then give me another cup of tea too! I always like the combination of Chinese and Western tea!" he said.
