Chapter 768: A Third Wheel to Lady Boss and the CEO Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Knock, knock, knock!

A series of knocks came from this brightly lit and spacious office’s door.

“Come in,” Pei Ge, who was buried in all sorts of documents, said.

She had been occupied with work lately. In fact, everyone in the company was similarly busy after the holiday because of Jiaheng’s ongoing projects.

As the highest executive officer in the company, she was naturally the busiest of them all. If she wanted to leave the office on time every day, she must work nonstop during the working hours.

She did not even have time to look at her assistant who was bringing her more documents.

“Boss, these are the charts for the company’s recent performance.”

The assistant carrying the documents offered them to her over the table.

“Okay. You can just put them down.”

She took a few seconds to glance at her assistant and the documents the latter had placed on the table before going back to the file that she was reading.

“Okay! Boss, I’ll take my leave first!” the assistant said with a smile. She was about to leave when she saw a man walk out of the office’s pantry.

“Pei Ge, have some coffee and waffles.”

Looking at beautiful man, the assistant swallowed silently.

When the man walked toward the woman in the swivel chair with the coffee and snacks with a loving gaze, the assistant felt attacked by this public display of affection.

“Ziming, I’m busy right now; hold on for a bit.”

Even if the one interrupting her was her favorite person, Pei Ge remained focused on her work.

When Ji Ziming saw that, he reproachfully snatched the file his girlfriend was reading.

“Hey!” The woman glared at him when he did that.

“That’s bad for your eyes.” He said this in response to her chiding look.

“What bad for the eyes? Don’t mess around, or else I’ll have to work overtime and I can’t go home with you.” She looked at him hopelessly.

She knew now that if one worked in the same office as their lover, their efficiency... was really indescribable.

“What’s there to read about this document?” He raised a brow slightly at her words, saying, “This proposal here actually works, but when you set it in motion, you need to add a little...”

Listening to how easy it was for him, her eyes widened as she felt a sense of defeat. Maybe one’s intelligence does determine everything.

Even so, she still enjoyed listening to him.

“Wow! Why haven’t I thought of that?”

When he was finished, she looked at him in awe.

She was indeed still too inexperienced!

Even though Professor William said that she was talented and a fast-learner, she was still a newbie when compared to those with experience.

Looking at the rare expression of admiration on her face for him, the man’s lips upturned a little but still kept a straight face.

“Okay. Now that you’re done with this, take a break. Work-life balance is important,” he said plainly, proceeding to put the coffee in front of her.

She looked at him and then pouted amusedly. “Did you forget that I used to be your secretary? Don’t I know what kind of person you are?”

“What right do you have to comment on me when you’re the workaholic type yourself? What work-life balance? Ha ha!” She started laughing aloud.

She truly thought that it was funny to see him preach about work-life balance to her.

This fellow had never had work-life balance, but now he was telling her about it. Ha ha!

“I’m your boyfriend; of course, I have the right.” He raised his brow a little and then gently poked her on the forehead.

She took a sip of her coffee and then smilingly muttered while nodding nonstop. “Yes, yes, yes, my dear boyfriend. I’ll listen to you.”

“Okay. Right now, I’m only interested in knowing what we’re eating for dinner tonight.”

The way the man pondered on this made it seem as if he were considering matters of national importance. Eventually, he said, “There’s nothing left in the fridge. Let’s go take a look at the market tonight.”

“Okay. You’re forbidden interrupting me from here on! If not, I’ll take overtime again, and there won’t be fresh vegetables left for sale when we reach the marketplace!”

“En...”

Her assistant: Sobs... Boss, you and your boyfriend have forgotten about me again. I don’t wanna be a third wheel here...

...

Work soon ended under her focused efforts.

By the time it was quitting time at five in the afternoon, she had already completed all her workload for the day.

“Haa! I’m finally done.”

She shifted her gaze onto the man using his laptop in the break area of the office.

“What are you working on?”

His fingers flew across the keyboard elegantly as if he were playing a piano.

He only looked up at her from his laptop screen when he heard her voice.

“Nothing. Are you done with work?” he replied, smiling at her.

“En! I’m done!” She nodded and smiled.

“Then, let’s go.” He closed his white Macbook’s lid and got up off the couch.

“Okay. Let’s go shop for groceries. I suddenly feel like eating your spicy prawns today.”

“You’re a little irritable today, so that’s a no-go.”

“Huh! Why? I’m craving spicy prawns.”

“No. You can eat it when you’re not being like that.”

“I’ll just eat a little of it if you make some! Just a little; I promise!”

“That’s what you said last time, too.”

In the sunset, these two’s shadows had an unspeakable harmony and warmth...
