Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

A person doesn’t always hide in the murk because he’s fearful of the people around him.

Oftentimes, a person just conceals himself in the dark because he’s petrified of his own silhouette.

’You keep a lot to yourself because it’s difficult to find people who understand.’

More often than not, your own silhouette rather than grasping the mayhem running wild in you, end up abandoning you.

It’s not strenuous to find a person to hear you out.

But...

It’s arduous to find a person who cares. Who actually understands you. Who actually gives a damn.

From the moment Xu Mey entered her office, she placed Ye Jie in the far backseat of her mind. She would have loved to kick him out of it completely but apparently, not just her heart, even her mind was not ready to pay heed to her desires. Humph, Traitors!

-The President’s office at Vintage Gems-

Xu Mey’s typical serene, alluring and beaming semblance was nowhere in sight. The prim and proper President Xu was just like a lethargic old lady. With her hair sticking out of place, shoulders drooping in a sluggish manner and the lack of energy was clear evidence of her withdrawn interest in working.

For Qin Hao, this behavior was more terrifying than the one, when she goes on a rampage. As much as he was familiar with her, he’d observed how she always prioritized her work. As if her life and death depended on achieving something.

"Boss?" He called her cautiously.

Xu Mey looked up with weary eyes. Qin Hao gulped down his saliva with great effort. "I just received the news that Jade Stones’ representative team met with Ms. Louise from the CoCo Jewels."

"What about it?" Xu Mey’s disinterest in listening to his report was visible. We might lose our investors and Boss is acting like it’s not even a big deal? What’s wrong with her today?

Qin Hao could only swallow these words and continue on with his report. "They might try to end their contract with us. After all, the contract is just verbal even after a month’s discussion."

Xu Mey sighed. Qin Hao saw the way her fingers were tapping on the office tabletop rhythmically. In the tranquil office, the rhythm was audible and it seemed beautiful to Qin Hao. His uneasy heart was calming down unknowingly.

The frustration that was adorning her beautiful features since the time she walked in the office was substituted with her enchanting serene bearing. It was one of those moments when Qin Hao couldn’t take his eyes off of her face. Even with that haggard look, just her facial expressions were enough to put someone in trance.

He remembered the time he first came for an interview for the job right after graduating from college. The first time he saw her gorgeous looks, just like a normal person, his views were, "Just another beautiful face trying to climb up through daddy’s wealth." He clicked his tongue and shook his head.

But the way she won him over in just a single day made him worship her like a goddess.

"Put that expression and your cheap mind out of this room, if you want to continue with this interview." She had said with a stern face.

"What?" Qin Hao frowned in confusion.

"My face and my mind are two different things. If you want to judge me on the basis of my face, you can get the hell out of here right this moment." Qin Hao’s mind went blank hearing her words. Her expression and tone were like she was talking about the weather but those words... Those words were like sharp swords cutting him. "Also, my company is quite small and I don’t think people with such splendid minds like yours can work at such a congested place."

Qin Hao felt bad about his self conjectures. He respectfully stood up from the chair and bowed his head a little deeper than necessary saying, "Ms. Xu, your company is not small. It’s my own mind that is. I’m a fresh graduate with no experience of the world. For me, everything is true what the world believes to be true. I won’t lie. I did judge you on the basis of how you look. But I’m sincerely sorry about it."

He turned to leave the room when he heard her calm voice. "Mr. Qin, You’re hired." Qin Hao abruptly turned his body to look at her poised countenance. She wasn’t looking at him. Her eyes were reading through the Resume in front of her. "Don’t look so baffled. I like honest people. It’s easy to make mistakes but it’s not that easy to accept it and ask for forgiveness. For your sincerity, I’m hiring you. Don’t let me down."

Coming back to the present, Qin Hao’s face held a faint smile thinking about that interview years ago.

The rhythmic tapping came to a stop. "Continue keeping an eye on them."

Her order was odd. He expected her to contact the CoCo Jewels to demand an explanation or something else but he never expected her to say, ’keep an eye on them.’ But no matter how odd the order was, for Qin Hao, it was like an Imperial decree.

He would do whatever she wanted no matter how odd her wishes were. It was not because she was his boss rather it was because, in these years of working with her, he came to have trust in her. A trust that was unparalleled. He had always seen her calm and collected bearing even in the most difficult of times.

And maybe, it was that calm aura that allowed him to feel relax and have full faith in her. He nodded his head and replied. "I will, Boss."

We don’t always need words of assurance to put us at ease. A casual smile or a casual look can do magic. Sometimes, a person’s aura is enough for another person to feel relaxed.

A smile can overturn the gloomy sky...

A word can overturn the frenzied mind...

An action can overturn the absurd heart...

But you...

A single you can overturn someone’s whole world...
