Office Romance: Mischievous Secretary VS. Bossy CEO

The coded door lock unlocked with a click, and the door narrowly opened. A girl rushed in. The CEO's magnificent and spacious office was empty, but the sound of water could be heard from the adjacent bedroom.

The girl was quite agile. Despite the fact that the floor was covered with thick carpet, she tiptoed carefully. Her eyes darted in every corner of the room, cautious like a cat's.

She headed towards the door to the bedroom. Standing in the doorway, she saw clothes scattered on the bed. Smiling with satisfaction, she poked her head inside to check if everything was indeed okay.

The bathroom door was ajar. She could vaguely see a man taking a shower.

She noticed his strong arms, wheat skin, and thick shoulders.

Wow!

It was hard to imagine that the CEO, who wore a straight suit every day, had such an impressive body.

Charlotte Qin almost forgot what she had come for.

Suddenly, the man turned around to take bath gel from the shelf.

She almost got a nosebleed because of this.

She could see the eight pack abs, hazed by the mist.

Charlotte Qin swallowed hard, realizing she couldn't stand here staring anymore.

After she had confirmed that it was the CEO himself, she tiptoed out of the office, with the door left unlocked. Once outside, she exhaled a breath of relief.

She took out her phone and sent a message.

The next step was to wait for the payment.

When she got the message that she'd received the money, she smiled to herself.

Her eyes glistened with greed.

She sat in the secretary's office next to the CEO's office, pretending to be busy.

But her ears were glued to the room next door.

After a while, she heard noisy footsteps and the sound of the door opening. Soon enough, a woman screamed and the CEO roared angrily.

The security guards rushed upstairs and took the woman away.

The telephone on Charlotte's desk rang.

"Charlotte Qin! Come to my office right now!"

Charlotte Qin was prepared. She picked up a document and held it close to her chest.

She stood outside the CEO's office and lightly knocked. Two seconds later, she opened the door and stepped in.

"Mr. Su, what can I do for you?"

"Who was that woman?"

Simon Su's face was gloomy. His hair was still wet after the shower, and it looked as if he had haphazardly put his clothes on. The top button of his shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his defined collarbone and distinct chest muscles.

A drop of water fell from his hair, landed on his collarbone, and trailed down his shirt.

Charlotte Qin swallowed.

She felt hot all of a sudden.

Seeing that his secretary was just standing there, Simon Su slammed his fists on the desk.

"Who was the woman that broke in while I was taking a shower?"

"What? Did someone sneak in when you were in the shower? Did she take advantage of you?"

she asked in shock, pretending not to know the truth.

"No, I closed the door in time,"

he replied without thinking twice.

"Charlotte, don't change the topic. What were you doing just now?" he asked.

"I had been dealing with the contract the whole time. You assigned the task to me this morning, remember? Please have a look!"

she said, handing him the document that she had in her hands.

Skimming through document, Simon Su noted that it was well-organized. The data was also detailed. It was not something she could have finished in a short span of time. It seemed as if Charlotte Qin had spent all day working on this.

He calmed down a little and thought maybe she wasn't involved in this matter.

Charlotte Qin chuckled. She had prepared the document beforehand so that she could use it as an alibi.

Simon Su raised his head and glanced sharply at her.

"Did you see anyone passing by just now?"

Charlotte pretended to look confused.

"No, no one passed by, but..."

She seemed to have remembered something all of a sudden.

"I did go to the restroom just now. Maybe the woman sneaked in while I was away.

Mr. Su, I'm sorry!" She covered her mouth exaggeratedly.

"I didn't guard the door. I failed to protect your privacy. I let someone sneak in on my watch!

Mr. Su, please punish me!"

Charlotte Qin hung her head in feigned shame. But her round, innocent eyes peaked at the reflection on the desk in front of her.

The desk offered the perfect vantage point to see Simon's reaction.

'Punish her?'

Simon Su coughed and took in the graceful figure of the woman standing in front of him.

'You won't be able to carry out the punishment I have in mind for you.'

He groaned inwardly.

"Forget it," he said with a shrug.

"Tomorrow, bring me the Tiramisu and a Matcha smoothie you made as a peace offering. I'll take them to my grandfather."

"Well..."

Charlotte Qin trailed off and her face darkened.

'The cheese used to make the Tiramisu and the Matcha powder used in the Matcha smoothie are quite expensive.

Forget it. I've made a lot of money today anyway. Just do as he says to comfort him, ' she thought.

Her face lit up. "Yes, Mr. Su. I'll bring them tomorrow so that you will...no...your grandfather will enjoy them!"

With that the secretary exited his office. Simon Su noticed that she closed the door to his office.

Only then did he realize that the code to his office was known only by his two secretaries and himself.

However, Dylan Meng, his other secretary, had been out all day long. He was still suspicious of Charlotte Qin.

Simon Su was about to call her back inside, but decided otherwise.

Even if he found out it was her, could he fire her?

When he was in the bathroom and heard someone barge in, he got excited thinking it was Charlotte Qin.

He hadn't expected it to be a strange woman!

How he wished that it was Charlotte Qin!

Simon Su leaned back in his chair, looking like an abandoned puppy.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's phone rang and she answered.

"Rose, I just promised to let you in, but I didn't say that the CEO would accept you,"

she said hurriedly, before the woman at the other end of the line could get a word out.

"Wasn't the CEO in the office? And he was taking a shower.

You failed to seize the opportunity. Who else can you blame?" she whispered.

"Again?" Charlotte Qin asked, baffled. "Rose, this was a rare opportunity. The CEO is bound to get suspicious if we do it again."

"Are you threatening me? What can you threaten me with? Do you have any evidence? Forget it. I got to go!"

Before the woman on the other end could say anything, Charlotte Qin hung up the phone.

'She threatened me!' Charlotte was not afraid of being threatened at all.

She had contacted the woman by using code words and had borrowed someone else's bank card. She had covered her tracks.

What evidence did Rose have? No!

Charlotte Qin went back to her office and opened the bank app. She counted the numbers and felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.

Working for Simon Su was a sweet deal.

She made cash on the side by selling his photos, slippers, and his other belongings.

Today, she had made a lot of money by allowing an admirer of the CEO sneak into his office. Unfortunately, it was only a one-time thing. The CEO would be on high alert now that it had happened.

She clenched her fists.

One day, she would have enough money to move out of the house with her mother.

Charlotte Qin headed home happily with the ingredients she needed to make the Tiramisu and Matcha smoothie.

'How could a tall and powerful man like Simon have a sweet tooth?

To not let his cold and hard exterior crack, he has used his grandpa as an excuse. He doesn't realize that I already saw through him, ' she thought to herself.

Charlotte Qin stood outside the door of her house.

As soon as she was about to enter, she heard a voice.

"You haven't been home in a few days. A decent girl would not do something like this. Have you no shame? You are just like your mother!"
