The secretaries who were stationed outside President Mo's office noticed the recent change in their boss.

At a certain fixed hour, Assistant Shawn will step out of the President's office and reminded the secretaries to not let anyone disturb President Mo for about half an hour. 

No one knew why Assistant Shawn gave that order, or why President Mo needed a half an hour break when he used to be a workaholic. However, the secretaries noticed something.

After that thirty minutes break, President Mo's mood would improve greatly.

For example, a week ago, a manager had made some mistakes on a very important proposal, causing President Mo to be in a very bad mood. Anyone who entered his room would be sent out crying. Even Assistant Shawn suggested everyone be on their best behavior if they did not want to provoke their boss's anger.

However, his bad mood miraculously disappeared after that half-hour break.

As the secretaries were almost all female, they were naturally very interested in gossip. Their department was usually quiet as they shared the same floor with President Mo, and gossiping about their boss was very thrilling and entertaining at the same time.

Some rumors circulated among the secretaries, but none of them dared to spread it out to others and risk losing their job. Whatever was said in President Mo's secretary department stayed within the department.

Curious at what was going on behind the closed door, a brave secretary decided to inquire Assistant Shawn about this matter before the others' imagination run wild.

Assistant Shawn merely told them that during this short break, President Mo was on a call with someone important.

Suddenly, everyone was curious to know who was this important person. One of the secretaries deduced that President Mo was on the phone with Little Miss Hazel.

Every one of them had seen the little girl coming over to the office a few times and knew how President Mo doted on the little girl.

However, this phone call happened while Hazel was still in school, and therefore, this assumption was rejected. Then, someone came out with another guess: President Mo was on the phone with his girlfriend.

None of them had heard any rumors or news that President Neil Mo was seeing anyone. However, they soon noticed that slight change in their boss. For example, his expression was screaming that he was in love.

Soon, the group of secretaries concluded that their guess this time should be right. But of course, until the day President Mo's girlfriend showed up at his office, none of the secretaries dared to spread anything to others.

Of course, both Neil and his assistant were unaware of what was going on in the president's secretary department.

At this time, Neil was on his thirty minutes break. It might seem as if he was browsing through a few documents on his desk, but if one looked closer, they would notice that his Bluetooth headset was on and that his phone was facing him.

Rather than saying that Neil was on a phone call, it would be accurate to say that he was on a video call with his girlfriend. During this time, his girlfriend was on a break and this was the only time he could give her a call.

On the screen, Edith was seen having her lunch with her ears plugged with earphones.

Although the two might not be speaking at this time, they were indeed on a video call. They were at two different places doing their own thing, but this was their way of spending time with each other. 

Edith took a final bite at her lunch and looked up at the camera. "I'm done with my lunch." She lifted her lunchbox to show it to him as proof.

"Already?" A deep frown appeared on his face. 

"Darling, it's almost time." Edith picked up her lunch box and smiled. "I still need to meet the other teachers and discuss the kids upcoming activities. We'll see each other at home, alright? What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Neil opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly recalled something important. "I won't be able to have dinner with you and Hazel tonight. An important client comes over and I have to accompany them for dinner. Please inform Hazel that I will not be able to come back."

"Alright." Edith nodded. A thought crossed her mind and Edith narrowed her eyes as she looked at him."Are you going alone? Or with a companion?"

Neil chuckled, knowing that her girlfriend was checking whether he will bring one of his secretaries with him. "Assistant Shawn will accompany me. I don't usually take a female companion with me unless necessary. If I have to take someone, I will let you know. Or else… you can always come with me."

"What am I going to do while you were on a business discussion with others?"

"Just stay around where I can see you."

Edith laughed at his answer. "I'd better stay home and accompany Hazel. Remember not to drink too much. Don't drive by yourself. Have Driver Tang send you back instead."

"Un. I know." Neil nodded obediently. 

After exchanging a few more sweet words, Neil finally ended the phone call and let his girlfriend return to her job. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Assistant Shawn walked in with a few documents in his hand. 

Seeing that his boss' mood had improved tremendously after that phone call, Assistant Shawn let out a long sigh in relief. Assistant Shawn still found that it was hard to believe that his boss was dating the kindergarten teacher. But seeing his boss's good mood after his phone call, Assistant Shawn thought that Teacher Qian's influence on President Mo was not that small.

Although the days were getting colder, the temperature surrounding President Mo was not as cold.

"President Mo, these are the documents that you asked me to fetch," Assistant Shawn spoke as he placed the documents on the desk.

"Thank you." Neil reached for the documents and scanned through the contents. Sensing that his Assistant was still in front of him, Neil raised his head and cocked a brow. "Is there anything else?"

"Yes." Assistant Shawn hesitated, knowing that he was going to deliver news that his boss was not going to like. His boss was in such a good mood after his routine phone call and he hated to be that person who was going to ruin his mood.

"President Mo, I received news that Jamie Xu is returning to L City in two weeks," Assistant Shawn said.

Neil's expression darkened after hearing that name.

"Last time, you asked Jamie to conclude the project in Country N and returned immediately," Assistant Shawn reminded him. 

"I know." A deep frown appeared on Neil's face.. "But for that person to return at this time… I'm afraid there will be trouble."
