Savage Queen's Secret Novel

Chapter 29 - The Old Secretary (Part - 3)


They become stunned, eyes stuck at Caixia. Si-ting who was drinking the tea, gasped by her sudden weird words and his mouth remained open and the tea which should enter his stomach, started to drool out.

Caixia coughed, her fingers rolled as a mic and placed near her mouth. She tried to signal him that his tea was drooling out but he remained that way.

Ignoring him, she stared at Mr. Luo. He was staring her while being baffled. “You want my son, but why?” he asked.

She glanced at his son. “I have read his bio-data and I feel quite satisfied. Even though he don’t have higher degree stating his education qualifications, still I believe that he will be a very good employee,” she replied.

Mr. Lio shook his head, “Are you trying to get as much employee as possible because you are having a shortage problem?”.

Rather then answering him, she silently and elegantly grabbed the traditional cup of tea and took a sip without a making a sound.

Placing it down, she said, “Your son is currently taking care of the flowers business instead of you and the growth rate is in front of you. I believe that you understand my point of view”.

Si-ting was shocked by her quick investigation that was so thorough and quickly cleaned his drool by a handkerchief.

“Very well, Ms. Lin. I seemed to have underestimated you, but you are quite good. Coming here after investigating us is not so bad and it’s a quality that every business men needs. I am impressed but joining you is my father decision not mine,” Mr. Luo’s son said.

Caixia nodded, “Yes Mr. Zhi-Luo, I understand your point of view but do you really wish to continue your work while being here, don’t you want more exposure. If you work for us then I can guarantee you, that if our company raised back to its previous position, then I will ask Mr. Wang Shiwei to help you get a recommendation letter to work in the field you would like to”.

He gasped, “The young master of Wang family? You are telling me that he can help me in joining the tech field even though I have no qualifying degree for it”.

She smirked and glanced at him, “Of course you need to do your best while working in the Lin company, to prove yourself”.

He raised his hand, while showing an excited expression. “I am in. I am gonna work as much as possible,” he said.

Mr. Luo cleared his throat, his eyes curiously staring Caixia. He was confused whether the girl he was seeing in front of him, is really a young and innocent one or whether she is full of wits and tricks. It just didn’t made sense, since she was never exposed to business environment until the Li family completely felt apart.

“So, how can she learn to do business in a few days?” this question hovered over his mind as he drank his tea.

“Well I can understand that you have investigated about me but how about Mr. Wang? Do you have contacts with him?,” Zhi-Luo asked.

She nodded, “He is the last shareholder of the Lin company after me and its because of him that the company is still holding on”.

Her reply was quite shocking to him but Mr. Luo was having no reaction. It simply stated that he have already learnt about the situation.

She was observing their expression and said, “Then we will be taking our leave”.

She stood up and stared at Si-ting, he was still having his cup.

She chuckled, “Let’s go or I will leave you here”.

He quickly got up and leaved with her. It was already time for the sun to set back and they still had a distance to cover.

While walking back on the narrow path, Si-ting rather then staring at the surrounding, he was continously staring at Caixia.

His eyes filled with curiousness and mouth dying to utter the questions filled in his mind.

“Go on, ask what you want!” Caixia said.

He quickly walked in front of her and stopped, “Were you already knew that Mr. Luo would reject me?”.

She sighed and glanced at him, “Not really! Let’s stop with that and move back or it will soon be dark”.

Lin Mansion:

After two hours of continuous travelling, she reached back to her home. It was tiresome and she massaged her neck.

“Ugh! This weak body, it’s quite troublesome. It seems that I have to start exercising as soon as possible,” she moved her arms in a circular movement and leaned on the sofa while breathing out.

Steward kye brought some refreshments for her and after placing it on the desk, stood in front of her.

Caixia took the glass filled with orange juice and after taking a sip, she said, “It must be hard for you to work in such a big mansion, alone”.

He nodded, “Yes, it is but I can still maintain it for a few days”.

She put back the glass and glanced at him, her eyes staring him in a questionable manner.

She smirked and said, “I have a question for you and I am sure that you know about it, too”.

He smiled and shook his head, “How can I know the questions you have in your mind?”.

Caixia shrugged her shoulder and gave him a mocking smile, her expressions saying everything yet he still kept quite.

“All the maids and staff workers were fired after my mother passed away but what about you, Mr. Kye! Why are you still here?” she asked while continously having a mocking smile.

“Its because I have signed a pre-contract with Mrs. Lin before she passed away, it stated that, before Ms. Lin become an adult, I have to work here and take care of her,” he replied.

She pressed her lips and raised her eyebrows childishly. He was standing in front of her while having a simple smile, but deep inside his mind, he was confused by Caixia sudden change.

She didn’t just become strong but also strong witted and he was afraid that she might have seen through him.

“So, does that mean, that my mother knew that something was going to happen to her and she will not be able to stay with me and protect me. Is that the reason why she asked you to sign the contract?” she asked him with a serious face.

He gulped, his fake expression fading away and his mind exploring to get an excuse.

She grabbed an apple kept on the table and had a big bite of it while staring at Steward Kye.

“Quickly, tell me, what are you hiding from me or don’t blame me for showing no mercy to you,” she said.

He swallowed, his eyes staring here and there and face having a smile which looked fake in every manner.

Her temper was raising with his continuous silence and she pulled out the knife from the apple. Staring it while bringing it near her own face like a criminal, she threw it sharp edge toward Secretary kye face.

He quickly dodged it, leaving a smile on Caixia face.

“Do you still want to hide it after showing such a big flaw in front of me?”.

He kneeled on the ground while showing utmost respect, “I am sorry for hiding the truth, but I am bound by the rules and can’t speak the truth even if you fire me right away”.

That was enough for Caixia to understand, that he was not going to spit out the truth no matter what and she have to search for it by herself.

She had got some clue but that was not enough to clear the picture. Even if she knew that the real Caixia was lied by more then one people, still, the cause for it was still unveiled and she wanted to know the reason behind the things going on.

“Ok, I understand and I don’t feel like firing you, too. But keep this fact hidden from your boss or whoever he or she is. If you can do that, then I won’t dig more into it,” she said.

He nodded, “Yes miss, I remember this,” he said and left.

Caixia jumped on the sofa while feeling depressed but suddenly her face lit up, “Hehe, how can I forget about tomorrow’s interesting show! I should sleep quickly and move to the war zone to turn their wings around,” she muttered.

At past 5 am, she wore her jogging suit and left to have a run.

Running continuously for almost 10 minutes, she felt tired and sat on the public chair. “If it was my real body, then I would have run for 30 minutes in one go,” she mumbled and drank a little from the water bottle.

Suddenly the wind blew and an advertising paper flew toward her and stuck on her face. She cleaned her face and lips while staring at the paper, her eyes shrink. “How amusing! I was thinking of joining a Gym but didn’t knew that there is one closer to me, then I should go and check it out”.

Silver Gym:

Her eyes observing the surrounding as she entered the Gym.. It was quite big and the area was managed properly. She entered the entrance door and the first face she saw was ‘Wang Shiwei’!
