46 Caught Off Guard.

"Phew! I narrowly escaped! Who plays with a knife in broad daylight?! That dangerous man!" Mu Yuexin muttered with fear in her eyes. She took in a deep breath to calm down her twitching heart and then put on a bright smile.

"Let's check the other task instead!" Mu Yuexin murmured as she went to the printing machine.

Yet, her face cracked when she saw her stuff was pushed aside while someone else was standing there. Watching this from afar, she couldn't help but feel she was being persecuted again.

"This Miss here, I set up the machine for copying important papers. You could have at least put my things carefully, not scatter them …" She said as she stood beside her.

The other person shrugged and upon watching her frowning she sneered, "Do you think you own this machine?! Or only you have work to do?!"

In the end, the woman's voice got louder which attracted many people. Realizing that she was up to no good, Mu Yuexin immediately became alert and spoke, "Even if your work is more crucial than mine, you should not have pushed aside my things. These are requested by Madam Yu. If anything goes wrong I hope you can clarify."

As Mu Yuexin told gravely, the woman's contemptuous attitude began to disappear.

'Yu Ran?! Damn! That old woman is a real tyrant! I can't afford to mess with this vixen now!' The woman thought in panic.

When Mu Yuexin was sorting out the papers, the woman carelessly took her things and hurriedly ran away.

'Here I thought she was using the machine for her own work, guess I was correct! Came to mess with me? In your dreams!' Mu Yuexin thought with a huff.

Because Yu Ran was a senior employee, she could not go head-on against her as it would only make trouble for her. Thus when she gave her the dubious errand, she accepted it.

It's not like she would have to make copies word by word like the ancient people! There were devices for it!

Also, because she was apparently an intern, she couldn't deny the work given by someone superior, even if she wasn't her object of spying.

…

When Ethan came out, he saw her beside the printing machine, fiddling with something. He left the department quietly and went to the CEO's office to show his face to his birthing father.

"Father, good afternoon." Ethan Han entered the office without knocking on the door, nor did he take permission when he went inside.

Thus he caught his father off guard as the other person was doing something bad with his right hand below his desk area.

Even though the desk was obstructing Ethan's view, watching his father's flushed face which was turning into resentment, he showed a smirk which went on the old man's nerves.

"You unfilial bastard! Get out!" Han Boyaung's face flushed in anger and embarrassment.

However, Ethan Han did not leave as he was ordered to. Rather he opened the entrance wide as he went towards Han Boyaung.

"Bastard? Even if I am one or not, you are well aware of that fact." As he said, he sat down on the sofa which was far away from Han Boyaung's desk.

His eyes went towards the astray which had many burnt cigarette buds in it. He showed a bizarre expression as he turned to the old man who was hurriedly sorting out his pants.

"Rather, I should ask… is that woman unable to give you pleasure by her loose body? Should I arrange some young chicks for you?" Ethan Han gave him an idea which was full of temptation for Han Boyaung.

The old man even took his time to reply. Watching him contemplating, Ethan Han sneered.

What could he expect from someone who would spend his night fooling around with women when his first wife was on the operation bed, going to give birth?

No matter how he showed the world that he loved Lu Mei, this kind of man could not change his nature.

Not to say, when the so-called love was busy going shopping, other cities and fooling around with other men.

Ethan Han did not believe Han Boyaung would be filial to his second wife and guessed he could be frustrated by her constant absence and it might be a chance for him to go one step up in his goal.

"Say, father. Do you want me to arrange some girls? Young girls, so young… if you press them a little, water will come out of their skin…"

Ethan Han's voice was like a devil's whisper to Han Boyaung which was tempting him to walk on the path of corruption.

'Should I…' Han Boyaung seriously considered this matter through, however, watching his unfilial son's face which was staring at him with a smirk, he harrumphed.

"How dare you suggest something so outrageous to your father?! Shameless! Did your mother even teach you something…"

Yet, right after saying that both men's complexion changed drastically. Ethan Han was infuriated as he stood up and walked towards Han Boyaung with large powerful steps.

He put his palms on the desk and stared dangerously at Han Boyaung, "Whether my mother taught me something or not, do you dare to say this again?!"

"I…" Han Boyaung was terrified when his eyes locked into his. He felt like the other could kill him right then and there if he spoke of his dead ex wife.

But his ego did not let him be suppressed like that. Watching the face which was very close to him and knowing that the door was opened while some of his secretaries were peeking, he raised his hand to slap this 'unfilial' son to get back some face.

However, his hand, which was filthy in Ethan's eyes, did not fall on his face. As Han Boyaung slapped the air, Ethan Han backed away and turned around.

He glanced sideways at his father who was embarrassed by missing his target.

The old man pointed his finger at Ethan Han and tried to take deep breaths, "You… bastard! Haah! My chest … h-hurts!..."

Ethan Han entirely ignored the man who looked on the verge of 'dying'. He couldn't care less as he nearly killed his father every day however the old man survived every single time.

Sometimes he even wondered if he should give Han Boyaung a chance to work in Hollywood or not.

After he walked out, like always, he left quietly while walking in a straight cool fashion. Right after some people rushed inside the CEO's office.

"Oh my! Sir!..."

"Water, feed him water!..."

"CEO, you must hang on there…"

"Should I call an ambulance?" Someone suggested.

"No need. He will be alright in a while." An experienced Han Fan replied as he stepped inside the office…

…

Ethan Han stopped before entering his office. He frowned as he saw Mu Yuexin still standing beside the printer.

When he left earlier, he saw her at that spot, and even during the end of the working hours, he still saw her beside the printing machine as he left the HR department.

'What is she up to?' Ethan Han was confused about her situation and wondered, 'What is she doing there all day long?'

However, as it was the end of his time staying in this boring company, he left while Mu Yuexin was on her task.

On the other hand, Mu Yuexin couldn't believe her own eyes. She clinked this button and that button however, "It's the second time in a row something went wrong by my hand…"

Mu Yuexin murmured as the printer refused to budge and in the end, she came to a conclusion that she had destroyed this thing by using it for hours in a row.

"At this rate, I will fail to make our 2000 copies…"

Mu Yuexin creased her face as she slapped the machine in distress. However, a miracle happened!

The thing which was like a lump of shit suddenly lit up and began to make copies of her papers!

"It is working!" Mu Yuexin's eyes lit up as she saw the thing start to work.

She felt her legs were aching from standing for a long time only then did she check the time.

"Ah, it's already 6!" Mu Yuexin exclaimed and hurriedly covered her mouth in the fear that she had disturbed her co-workers.

However, when she glanced sideways, she was baffled to see that the HR department was deserted.

"Where is everyone?…" Mu Yuexin whispered and realized that while she was on her task, everybody had gotten off work.

'What about him?! I ignored him for so long, is he still in the office?' As Mu Yuexin wondered, she went to the general manager's office but that room was shrouded in darkness and not even a spark of light could be seen.

"Everybody has left. Am I the only one here?" Mu Yuexin guessed and suddenly her eyes lit up, "It's better this way!"
