Yang Zi, who tried her best to beat her boss to reach the office first, was so unlucky to see her boss signing documents in his office when she arrived. Li Yifeng, who had seen her arrive, acted as though he did not see her. He wanted to see whether she would intentionally come into his office to greet him or stay at her desk just to avoid getting scolded. Yang Zi, who saw that her boss was busy, faced her work without disturbing the devilish man. Li Yifeng, who was expecting her to come inside his office to apologize for being late, did not let the matter slide easily. Just to punish her for arriving late, he made her run on so many errands to the point where her legs ached. Yang Zi vowed to avenge herself no matter what.

“Hello Zi Er, why are you still not back yet? Don’t tell me your boss made you work overtime again? I regret not putting working overtime is forbidden in your contract,” Shiyi said over the phone. Yang Zi could hear him hit the table angrily over the phone. ​​

“He would not have hesitated to throw me out of his office if you had done that. Besides, I am almost through with what I am doing so you don’t have to be upset and what’s up with that Jingxian girl?” Yang Zi quickly said to divert his attention from the cause of his anger.

“That is why I called you! She snuck out of her home again tonight just like we had predicted. I was a little surprised when she snuck out earlier than she usually does. I bet something unusual might have happened which is why she might have snuck out early from home. This means that our plan has been moved forward so you’ve got to leave your office right now or else everything will go down the drain,” Shiyi said seriously.

“Ok, I will see what I can do. Keep me updated on her whereabouts. I will call you back immediately when I leave the office, Ok,” Yang Zi said hurriedly as she took a quick look at her boss to see whether he was looking at her.

“Ok, but be fast about it. I will leave you to sort things out first over there,” Shiyi said before he disconnected the call. Yang Zi quickly picked up her handbag and went closer to Yuan Quan’s desk. Thank goodness she had already informed Yuan Quan of an emergency early that morning or else her mean boss would have looked for a way to stop her from leaving at all cost. Since Yuan Quan’s desk was just some distance away from hers, there was no way she would leave without him seeing her leave so she walked up to him to inform him again about the emergency she had previously told him about.

“Yuan Quan, just like I had told you earlier, my mum is in the hospital and she urgently needs my help so I will excuse myself for today. I hope you won’t deprive me the opportunity to care for my sick mum,” Yang Zi said pitifully as a drop of tears attempt to drop from her eyes.

“Hey Miss Yang, please don’t cry. I will stand in for you today so you can go home and look after your mum,” Yuan Quan said, feeling very sympathetic towards her.

“Ok Yuan Quan, at first glance I knew that you were not a heartless guy like that Li Yifeng. Yuan Quan, while you are at it please pass the message of my departure to our boss, alright?” Yang Zi said before she quickly dashed out of the office. As Yang Zi left the office, she called Shiyi to ask for the exact location of the lady who had the habit of sneaking out of her parent’s mansion everyday. Yuan Quan did not waste time to inform his Boss about the emergency that Miss Yang had.

“Boss, Miss Yang had an emergency so she had to go home early. She asked me to relay the message to you since it was very urgent,” Yuan Quan said when he had placed the documents his boss had asked for on the table.

“And who the hell said that she could leave without my permission?” Li Yifeng asked coldly, throwing Yuan Quan a murderous glare. Yuan Quan could not help but tremble when he saw how angry his boss was.

“Since it was clearly stated in her contract that she could take a leave of absence anytime there was an emergency on her side. I couldn’t stop her from leaving when I saw how pitiful and miserable she looked when she relayed the fact that her mother just suddenly fell ill. I didn’t have the heart to stop her from rendering her filial duty to her mum,” Yuan Quan said meekly.

“Are you saying that I am the bad guy right now or has our position suddenly been switched to the extent that you could make decisions on my behalf? Did you even verify whether her mum is actually sick or whether she was just lying to gain your sympathy? If what she had told you is right then why didn’t she tell me so herself? I bet she lied to you because you are so gullible,” Li Yifeng said angrily. Yuan Quan who thought he had done a good deed was shocked to see his boss so pissed off. One thing he had noticed ever since Yang Zi stepped her feet into his boss’s office was that his boss hated the poor lady for no reason. He could not imagine why his boss would treat that sweet looking lady so badly when he never treated any of his previous secretaries in such a cruel manner.

“Boss I am sorry that I let her leave without informing you. I just didn’t have the heart to reject her offer when I saw her weep so bitterly. She looked so pitiful,” Yuan Quan lied without blinking an eye.

“She cried?” Li Yifeng asked calmly, his mood changed when he heard that information. It sounded so unbelievable to him. Yuan Quan was so happy when he saw that his words worked on his boss.

“Yes boss. You should have seen her bloodshot eyes when she pleaded with me. I couldn’t help but want to cry along with her,” Yuan Quan said looking so sympathetic.

“I have pardoned her for leaving without my consent today….”

“Really? Thank you so much. I believe that the both of you will get along well if you keep treating her nicely. I almost thought that she rejected you before that is why you are being extraordinarily mean to her. I am glad I was wrong,” Yuan Quan blurted out immediately without filtering his words. What he said was supposed to be a genuine compliment but looking at his boss face turn sour was an evident that he was doomed.
