19 No Interest In Short Women

At work, Anxi had been dealing with many phone calls from other consecutives planning to hold a meeting with her boss.

He already informed her to cancel all sorts of meetings he had today because there were too many things he had to handle.

Xander remained in his office going through his laptop, he had dismissed all workers except his secretary and personal assistant from entering his office for that day.

He needed time to himself with no disturbance or any sort of distraction.

With Andrey by his side, dropping files on the table and skillfully examining them at the same time.

"The Hao petrol company and stock are trying to gain more than the percentage being given to them." He briefed critically but Xander remained unmoved, such serious issues were quite trivial to him.

"Why's that?"

"They feel 'cheated' since we're depending on their stocks and suggest we make an equal bargain."

Xander paused for a while, calmly sipping the cup of coffee Anxi made for him and replied firmly.

"No changes shall be made, if he has a problem with it, he should come meet me in person. Let's talk, I don't bite."

Andrey adjusted his glasses but his handsome face looked hesitant as he cleared his throat, only a fool would believe that.

"I don't think that'll be possible but I'll get the news to him."

"If he can't even face me on this issue, then he's a coward, send this message too."

Andrey could only nod in response, his boss was really something else and he understood why many people were so afraid of him. Their conversation was interrupted when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Anxi made her way in, holding a file in hand while walking up to Xander.

"Sorry to interrupt but boss, your signatures are needed here and here to finalize the contract, I've already gone through the marketing themes and it's all legit."

She professionally explained, showing where and where her boss should sign.

Xander was impressed with her quick progress, even after what happened last night, she was back and kicking unlike some who would still remain depressed on the bed.

He brought out his pen and signed at the place she had pointed for him earlier.

"One more thing sir, uhm the president of Lush company has arrived and I was told to inform you, you had scheduled a private meeting with him today."

Xander nodded, he actually forgot he was supposed to meet with him today.

Turning his gaze to Andrey, he passed the laptop over to him. "Finish up the files here, miss Anxi, follow me."

She nodded while she watched her boss pick his suit jacket, wearing it but had no intentions of buttoning it up.

She and Andrey exchanged glances, both confirming that they were in for lots of services today.

Xander stepped out of the office with Anxi following his trail, he glanced at the time in his watch and handed Anxi a file.

"Here, you have ten minutes to understand everything you can on that file." He ordered as they stepped out of the elevator.

"Yes...yes boss." There was no time to whine over his sudden order, she's never had to go through a file within ten minutes before and tried as much as possible to understand the little ones she came across, skipping some but grabbing the details she felt were important.

The meeting barely lasted more than three hours and Anxi had to stay by his side all through.

This was her first time watching her boss strike a deal and she was taken aback by how good he was at doing it.

She understood his reasons for making her go through the file the moment he started rationalizing everything on it and asking for her opinion.

Luckily she grabbed those parts and professionally poured it out making everything go smoothly.

Later on, she had to escort him back to his office, carrying so many files to the point her face was nearly hidden with only her pretty caramel eyes to view.

But her heartless boss barely had pity on her as he kept dropping more stacks of files. Anxi felt like she was being buried but he barely looked at her, making her pout in annoyance.

She prayed silently on the way, hoping she wouldn't drop any of them.

Fortunately, they got to his office while Xander took a seat on his chair, staring at his bunny who struggled to drop those many files on the table.

Dropping to her knees and carefully pushing the file forward.

She heaved a sigh of relief the moment she was done, getting up to her feet and wiping off the invisible sweat on her face, unaware of the predatory gaze locked on her as she made her way towards the door.

"One more thing miss Anxi."

She stopped in her tracks, turning to look at him.

"There's an important file at the top of the shelve, bring it for me."

Anxi's gaze landed on the tall shelf which remained at the side of his office. The file he was asking for was indeed at the top of the shelf but there was one tiny problem.

The shelf was actually taller than her and reaching for it would be quite difficult, she couldn't help but feel like it was Xander's doing, how will she get the file now??

She darted a quick glance at her boss but he didn't move an inch from his spot, his gaze remained locked on his phone.

Doesn't seem like he'll help her get it so she'll just have to get it herself.

Walking quietly over to the shelf, she tiptoed and tried to reach for it but couldn't, her fingers could only brush the top of the shelf, touching the papers but was unable to grab it.

She refused to give up and tiptoed further trying to reach for it.

Xander's bored gaze finally shifted from his phone to his little bunny who was struggling to reach for the file.

He hopelessly shook his head with a soft sigh.

She could have easily asked for his help if she couldn't reach it but it seems his little bunny isn't only narrow-minded but prideful as well.

Too prideful to even ask for help?

He quietly walked up to her, standing behind her as he watched her struggle to grab the file.

He didn't even stress as he effortlessly grabbed the file from the top of the shelf.

Anxi turned around to look at him and cringed at her situation.

He didn't even have to tiptoe or stress himself to get the file unlike her who had been struggling.

In her previous life she was a bit taller at least. She stared at the file in his hand and looked away from him.

"You could have said something if you couldn't reach it instead of wasting my time." He told her but Anxi pouted in annoyance.

"It should have been obvious, besides I seem to be the only one working too hard today, I haven't even got a minute break or a chance to eat, is this supposed to be some kind of punishment?"

She questioned and he understood exactly what she meant making his lips curl up slightly but he made it barely noticeable.

"You eat so much Miss Anxi, I saw you earlier at the company's restaurant having salad and some caramel latte, yet you complain of hunger while your height still stays the same, you don't have to worry about me kissing you again, I have no interest in short women."

Anxi's mouth fell agape at his heartless ridicule, did he just refer to her as a short woman??

"I am not short, I just have a cute height and plus I'm only twenty years old, I'll get taller."

She argued but he suddenly pressed his forefinger to her forehead making his clumsy little bunny stumble backwards like someone who had no stamina.

"Cute or not, it doesn't change the fact you're short and well, I do have taste and short women aren't really my style either."

He tsked and turned around to head back to his table.

Anxi didn't know why but for some reason that actually hurt her feelings.

*Sob*

Arrogant Mr!

*Sob*

I hate him!
