Chapter 157 - Meeting You (2)

Yang Mei almost lost control of herself when she saw a smiling Xaio Ai walking out of the elevator. Placing down the file on the table,she had unconsciously taken a step forward when Knox walked out behing Xaio Ai. The presence of a strange man brought her out of her sudden stupor causing her to look down and take a deep breath.

By the time, Xaio Ai and Knox had walked over to her desk outside the CEO's office,Yang Mei had composed herself. Bowing professionally,she greeted the two and explained,"CEO Knight is on a conference call.Please give me a moment and I will inform him of your arrival."

Before Shi Ai could say anything,Knox interrupted,"That's ok,Miss Yang! Take your time!By the way,I see that you seem to have recognized our lady boss,despite having started work recently. Miss Yang,I know for sure that you do not gossip so tell me how do you do that!"

Yang Mei simply stared at Knox as she answered,"I may not gossip but I do read the news,Mr Knox! And now I will go and let the CEO know,you are here. Please excuse me. Ma'm." With a nod in Shi Ai's direction,Yang Mei knocked on the inner door,clutching a file in her hand.

Shi Ai stared at the woman's back with a curious face. She did not know why but she felt as if she had seen the woman from somewhere."

Knox smilingly turned to look at Shi Ai,only to find her staring at the assistant's back. His smile widened as he teased her,"Sister in law!Are you jealous of the new assistant?Are you also going to tear down the door because she touched it and it belongs to your husband?" Knox was naturally teasing Shi Ai about the incident last time when she had cut off Ah Hai's sleeve..

Rolling her eyes at Knox,Shi Ai stopped staring in that direction as she turned to him and said,"Please call me Shi Ai.Sister in law is too much! Also I am not that unreasonable! That day it was about showing who was the boss,but I do not need to keep throwing my weight around."

Knox gave a pleased laugh and decided to instigate a prank!She may say that it was about showing who is the boss but even now he could feel her ire and jealousy over someone holding her husband.Thus,"But you must show your place to the Assistant also!Do you know that she is the first female assistant to survive under Ah Hai? And don't you feel threatened that she gets to spend the entire day with your husband on this floor all alone? And even now here you are waiting for her permission to go inside and see him! Shi Ai,do you know some people call the office assistant as the office wife also?"

Seeing the mischevious glint in Knox's eyes,Shi Ai just rolled her eyes. She had seen them mercilessly trying to tease Ah Hai when they had come over for dinner by continuously complimenting her and now he was trying to pull a similar prank on her! Well she was smarted than that. Going close to his ear she whispered,"But I get to spend the nights. So .."

This statement caused Knox to mave away in shock as he stared at the formidable woman before him and started to laugh! Brother Knight had gotten himself a bold wife!

Meanwhile,inside the office:

Yang Mei placed the file in her hand on Ah Hai's desk. And started to give the report,"Sir.This file has been sent by Assistant Yang!"

Ah Hai nodded and looking up from his work,he picked up the file before issuing instructions,"My wife and Knox are going to be here in a few minutes. Please let them in as soon as they come. You may go." As Ah Hai started to browse through the file,he ignored the woman's pesence though he knew that she still stood there. After a minute,when Yang Mei had yet to leave,Ah Hai looked up and asked in a cold voice,"Miss Yang?Would you like to submit your resignation?"

Yang Mei looked up where she stood in shock and shook her head in denial.

"Then why are you standing there when you have been ordered to leave?Get out."

"Sir,I am sorry but Mr Knox and Madam are already here but I wanted to talk to you about something so I lied to them that you were on a call."

Ah Hai placed the file in his hand on the table and looked at the woman coldly,"Miss Yang,please collect your severance pay from the HR and leave. What you have to say is not more important than my wife."

Yang Mei still did not move as she said,"Sir.It is about the protection of your wife. I.. I read the file that assistant Yang had sent over and saw the role that Madam is set out to play. I..I just wanted to volunteer myself in her place. I guessed that Mr Knox and Madam are here for the discussion of the contents in this file which is why I lied. I am sorry for being presumptuous but it seems like a dangerous mission so I would like to request that you send me."

This caused Ah Hai to give Miss Yang another look. Though she stood calm and composed,he could see the anxiousness in her eyes. His eyes moving to the closed door behind her,he asked a single word,"Why?"

Having not had the time to prepare an answer or a cover,Yang Mei could only blurt out,"Sir..Xaio..I mean Madam looks very innocent and fragile and I know that she knows self defense but.."

Nodding,Ah Hai have another nod and in a considerable thawed voice said,"Miss Yang,I will take your request into consideration. Now please let them in."

Bowing Yang Mei went out and let the two people waiting outside into the room.
