Chapter 26

• Meilei knelt to pick up the scattered files, scrambling to grab at them while Kai towered over her, impatience making him glare. Her face flamed with embarrassment, given she had an audience nearby of staff giggling at her. Irritated by her clumsiness, Kai stepped over them and instead moved to greet his client with a handshake. Humiliating her more with his refusal to help.
• “Mr. Sakuro, it’s nice to see you again. Please excuse my assistant… she’s new.” He ground it out with obvious simmering anger as if he was saying something akin to ‘she is an idiot.’ Kai walked him forward, aware of her panic to hurry before hauling to her feet and following them at speed. Tripping on the hem of her skirt and almost ripping her wide-necked dress down her bust. She fumbled to grab it and got upright with a little ungraceful flailing.
• Since she arrived at his office this morning, it had been one thing after another with her. She arrived late, was refused entry without her updated ID, and had to hightail it back to HR for the new one, sweating and heaving because she didn’t dare be late. She had spilled coffee over his desk in a stupid trip and had dropped files twice before this. One time right into his lap when he was sitting on his couch, and she couldn't master answering a damn phone. Pressing buttons and cutting off calls into his office because he didn’t seem to care about teaching her how to use the infernal thing. She acted like a nervous intern who had no place in any office.
