FLASH MARRIAGE-17.3

Here is the concluding part of 17th Chapter.

CHAPTER 17.3

First day on the job (3)

I thought from all the angles and finally said: “Wang Kai…..Sorry, ah but can you give me any other position in the company?”

The gleeful expression in his eyes resembled that of a little girl ready to plan her next mischief. Of course I knew that there was nothing else but his own beauty to blame for this. I must say that there are very few men in this world who are actually very pretty from the outside but wretched from the inside and Wang Kai was one of them.

Now Wang Kai looked at me smilingly and said: "Why are you trying to avoid me Yan Yan, are you scared that you won’t be able to stand and give into the temptation of my charm?”

The way he said those words it felt like as if I was a monster and he was some monster slayer. Before I could refute his words, I heard him saying: “I invited you to work here so what nonsense are you thinking, huh?”

From his expression while saying these words, I really could not decipher if he was pretending to be serious or was truly serious but when I thought of his theory ‘figured it out’ in Maldives, I immediately felt relieved. Seeing how this wretched Wang Kai had such sunny disposition towards his professional life, my eyes lit with admiration.

So I put away all the suspicious thoughts from my mind and said: “Boss Wang, Your secretary will be in your care.”

Wang Kai chuckled to himself. Looking very pleased and satisfied he nodded his head.

....

Shamelessly speaking since morning I felt that this secretary job was not so bad.

In fact doing a good job as secretary was not too difficult. Of course if you wanted to do a really very good job as a secretary then it was a different story. I had always been a very unambitious person who could do almost everything in life with a very unpromising approach. In my eyes a good secretary just concentrates on her job, listens and obeys her leader’s words and has a little or some observing skills. As for the difficult and demanding problems, Wang Kai should be able to fix them. Frankly speaking, people like me are born to goof. Remembering the talk I had with Jiang Li in the morning about women empowerment I felt ashamed.

Very quickly noon arrived, the most important appointment of the day, lunch break.

XXX Advertising Company had an inbuilt cafeteria for employees, according to what Wang Kai said, the cafeteria’s food taste was not bad. So in order to welcome his new employee to the company he invited me to the lunch. Each of us ordered some meat and vegetable dishes then found a good place to sit. I felt odd to find so many strangers looking at us from all the directions; of course I was a nobody so the target of their stare must be Wang Kai.

I got curious thus asked him: "Why is everyone looking at you? Are you an alien?”

Wang Kai laughed: "Probably because I am too handsome.”

I had already seen the level of Wang Kai’s shamelessness so neglecting his words I again asked him: “Why are even men also looking at you? Is this company a headquarter of gay people?”

Wang Kai pulled out a wry smile on his face: “I really don’t understand why you rotten women find the topic of homosexuality so interesting."

Had already said many times, I was not a rotten woman!

To avoid suspicion, Wang Kai went on to explain: “I rarely come here to eat, since I came today so they must be wondering about it.”

‘So where do you usually go to eat lunch?’ I thought of raising this question but I was sure this guy would reply something like this ‘I make a special trip to a beautiful woman’s office’ aaah, so I swallowed back my words……

I clipped a piece of meat and put it in my mouth, nipped it, the taste was okay.

Wang Kai did not even lift his chopsticks and was just staring at me, asked: “well, how’s it? Taste is not bad, right?”

“It’s edible but is far worse than what I cook.” I admit I was bragging.  In fact the difference was not that wide, the rice dishes I cooked was almost at the same level as the restaurant’s rice dishes. Anyway it was just a joke; Wang Kai would not believe my words.

Truthfully it was not right to be arrogant in front of one’s boss, but I hardly saw Wang Kai as my boss. Initially he was my online friend, then he became a bad company during my vacation in Maldives and now he was my boss. I thought I must change my attitude towards him. It might be a possibility that even though he was my friend, he wanted to act as my superior in front of the others and wanted me to behave accordingly in public, ah I was really bad at acting. So even if he wanted to put on a show in front of others I would not be able to do so. Thus it was better to forget about our encounter in Maldives, treat him as a new acquaintance from now on and eventually I would get used to it.

Originally I thought Wang Kai would not hesitate to retort back but never imagined him to smile softly and calmly: “Do you really want me to try the food you cook.”

Huh, it’s you who wants to eat; who’s going to cook for you. One guy Jiang Li was enough to torture me if one more guy, Wang Kai’s, added then I would not able to survive.

When Wang Kai found no response from my side, he asked: “Your husband must be enjoying the food you cook daily? In fact he must have become a gastronome by now.”

Internally I was very pleased with his flattery and said: “Whether I wish to or not but he coaxes me to cook for him.”

Wang Kai got very excited and further inquired: “So how does he coax you?”

I really could not tell people that I cooked food for Jiang Li on the condition that in return he would sleep with me. Naturally if you put these words in someone’s head, especially in Wang Kai’s head, then they would surely become perverted.

So I just changed the topic: “Wang Kai why did your previous secretary leave? You did not bully her, right?”

Wang Kai shook his head a little, said: “I fired her."

Oh God, it seemed I asked a question I should not have asked, so I mutely continued eating my lunch.

Then Wang Kai spoke one sentence that almost choked me to death. He said: “Having a beautiful secretary affects my work.”

Thus he began to search for an ugly person? Then he found me? Oh God how could you create such a useless creature!
