The hand that was about to push open the door paused in mid-air upon hearing that.
” Sigh… To be honest, I really envy Miss Qiao to death! There’s no other woman who can receive our big boss’s gentle treatment!”
“Yes, yes! I heard that, not only is her family’s business supported by our big boss, even her expenses while she was studying abroad were covered by the CEO. There’s also that apparel store she opened after returning to the country; I heard that it’s under our boss’s protection! Otherwise, how could her shop operate so smoothly?”
…
Their conversation caused her frown to deepen. She struggled between pushing the door open and listening to their conversation.
However, before she could come to a decision, those women went away, and the other side of the door fell silent.
Hearing their footsteps recede, she pushed the door open and stepped into the corridor.
In the corridor, she realized that those women had entered the restroom.
This stairway was set right in the middle of the corridor between the office and the restroom. At the end of the left side was the restroom and on the right was the office.
“…” Standing there, she looked at the restroom with pursed lips. Eventually, she walked in the direction of the office.
None of the excitement or happiness she felt earlier remained.
Her good mood was totally destroyed by the two women’s conversation.
Right now, she only wanted to charge into Ji Ziming’s office and confront that Miss Qiao whom her boyfriend was treating well!
She also wanted to confront the man about what he had done while she was not around!
With her heart filled with fury, she stomped toward his office.
However, before she could charge in, she was stopped by the secretary outside his office.
“Miss, may I ask if your surname is Pei?”
These secretaries had received an order from above to let a certain Miss Pei into his office without informing him.
However, seeing that this woman seemed to be out to kill, they were a little doubtful if they should let her in. Hence, they asked her this question.
“Yes! My surname is Pei!” she answered through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, these few capable-looking secretaries felt even more hesitant.
She seems to be here for revenge…
Will something happen if we let her in?
“Apologies, miss. Our boss is handling some matters right now; may we trouble you to wait here for a moment?”
Finally, one of them, the secretary with long and wavy hair, moved to delay her a bit.
Unable to determine this woman’s purpose for being here, the secretary resolved to make a call first before deciding on whether to let her in or not.
If it were before, Pei Ge would definitely agree, but now was different!
Those women’s conversation before had angered her, and hearing this now, as a woman who liked to overthink things, she quickly imagined her boyfriend having an affair in his office with that Qiao woman!
As she thought of this, she could not bear to wait further!
Resolutely pushing away the secretaries blocking her path, she strode to his office.
“M-Miss, please… please wait!”
When they saw that she still intended to go in despite them stopping her, these secretaries panicked. They were now surer that she was on a warpath.
They quickly ran up to stop her.
Unfortunately, in contrast to her robust physique, these secretaries were all petite and weak-looking.
Obviously, they failed to stop her from reaching their boss’s office door.
Bang! She exerted all her strength to push the door open.
“M-Miss, please…”
At her act of violently pushing the door open, these secretaries’ faces whitened, and they became more fervent at blocking her.
“All of you, out of the way!” Her lips twitched when they held her in place with their hands and legs.
“Miss, you’re here to seek revenge, right? Please don’t be hasty! Anyone who riles up our CEO ends up in a bad state!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Plus, our CEO doesn’t hold himself back just because the person is female. Since you’re a woman, you may even end up being tortured by him!”
Her anger intensified upon hearing them dissuade her.
“Hur hur! I really want to see how your CEO, my boyfriend, will torture me!”
“Eh?!”
“What?! Our boss is your boyfriend?!”
“That’s impossible! How can the boss’s girlfriend be so plain-looking?!”
Waves of exclamation from these secretaries sounded.
“…” She felt the veins in her head throb at this.
What do these people mean by that?!
What if I’m plain-looking?! I’m way stronger than that beauty, Miss Qiao! At least, I’ve managed to become your boss’s official girlfriend!
We are about to get engaged, too! Hmph!
“Pei Ge, why are you here?”
The man stepped out of his office when he heard a commotion outside and chanced upon this stalemate.
However, he did not expect to see his secretaries looking chummy with his girlfriend as they hugged her tightly.
“Hmph! Why? You don’t want me here?!”
She pouted in consternation.
“How could that be? In fact, I-I’m very—” Happy .
However, he stopped speaking midway and shot the secretaries hugging her a gloomy look.
“All of you, release Pei Ge! Who let you touch her?!”
Only I can hug her intimately! These people actually dared to touch my woman this closely?!
“Huh?”
The secretaries were all stunned.
Oh, my momma! What is this situation? Why is our prideful and cold CEO looking at us like we are his love rivals?!
