She took a closer look at the jacket and quickly felt her heart bled as she looked at the sleeve.
“How did the button fall off? Had I known, I would have asked for a needle and thread and fixed.”
Now it was greatly discounted because of that.
How much more would she have gotten if it wasn’t for that button? Perhaps she would have full 5 days!
What a bummer!
Had she known that the boss would want it thrown away and give it to her and that the system would consider that a gift….
She would have had it dry cleaned and ironed so that a wrinkle couldn’t be seen!
It didn’t matter how much money she’d have to spend!
“From now on, I’d treat every single item that belongs to the boss with utmost care!”
Gu Shishi couldn’t help but mutter.
She went into her room with everything. As she was eating, she made a note in her notebook that she always carried around with her.
Rule #1: Do not anger the boss. Must appease him.
Rule #2: Treat anything that belongs to the boss with great care, much like they are my own life!
Once she has finished writing that down, she ate as quickly as a hamster.
She ate the entrees and appetizers on the dinner tray.
When she was done eating, she called out the system and checked.
[Doting of the Male Lead: LV1, 20% progress to LV2
Acknowledge of Others: LV1, 50% progress to LV2]
Both of the criteria had advanced without her knowing?
Gu Shishi squinted and, as she looked carefully, she saw another footnote.
“Eh, I have received fondness from Huo Sishen 3 times today? Morning, afternoon, and evening…. Isn’t that the same as the number of times that I have seen him today?”
How did that happen?
Didn’t the boss berate her every time? The more he berated her, the fonder he was of her?
Was he really that much of a tsundere??
“Acknowledgement from others, she had received fondness from Ling Xiaomei, store manager Liu Li, and three other girls from the art center.”
Was it because she had helped Ling Xiaomei out, shared her lunch with everyone, or was it because they were convinced by her painting skills?
She had received the fondness from 5 different individuals and she was still 50% away from LV2.
At this rate, she would need the fondness from at least 5 more individuals…
Gu Shishi rubbed her chin, “Do I need to go and conquer my other colleagues or students? Or perhaps the maids at the mansion?”
Having given that some thought, she didn’t think she had any better options.
And then there was that maid earlier. She must find a chance to figure out what was going on!
She was deep in thought when she heard a sudden, crisp DING sound from the system.
[Ding! The system had detected the host’s profound experience in painting and art appreciation!]
[The system will update in 5 minutes…]
Gu Shishi’ eyes widened.

After the sun had set, a shadow quietly made a call from a corner of the mansion.
Quickly, a surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
“What?! She didn’t bring it to him but drank it herself? And she ate all the food?!”
“Is she starting to suspect you?”
“You don’t think so? Exactly how hungry was she then? Has she not eaten in the past several hundred years?!”
