The silence was soon broken as a debate rushed in with a growing aggression. Voices got louder, expressions got sterner, tables were slammed.

I believe you have not seen this well, why would a company promise a budget that they obviously know they couldnt fulfill?

A proposal remains as a proposal till its actual execution and you have read the financial report.

Thatll be too late, isnt it? But I must agree that we should not wager on just saving th-

I beg to differ but seemingly you do not seem very aware of the current situation. And I mus-

That was when the door was pushed open, as a waiter strolled in, Sorry but I was informed to deliver these documents to the fellow gentlemen.

From who? Asked one of them.

Secretary Lu from Thunderbolt Corp.

Yup, me, I went to get it printed at the lobby and rushed to the panel. But it seems like being a member of the presentation I cant interfere with the panel judges. So Ill have to let the staff do it instead.

Okay, thats one thing down. Lets hope for the best.

Sir, all has been done according to your order, said Lu as she walked through the noisy crowd and sank back to her seat.

Okay. Huo closed his eyes, seemingly meditating, isolating himself from this chattering world.

Oh wow, he could actually fall asleep at this point?

You seem very tired. If thats the case, why dont you sleep early tonight? Concerned Lu.

Huo opened his eyes again, leisurely he whispered into her ears, Im conserving all the energy I have just so I could serve you tonight.

NO THANKS!

Please, my thighs need some rests tonight okay?

Hole in one, girl. The key to a successful golf play.

Lus corner of her mouth twitched as she looked upon the ceiling, pretending she heard nothing.

A moment later, the panel judges returned, after having the first few seconds spent with halting verbal fillers, they made the announcement that the proposal of Thunderbolt Corp. had been chosen.

Thunderous applause roared in the room, as the president himself left the scene swiftly with a smile.

I have more important business to do!

The stupidity was still too high for him. He was 100% confident of the outcome and to prevent himself from being assumed to have done any shady actions behind the scene, he had to stay.

As limits were reached, she must leave.

I am going to see what kind of turtleneck company The Emperor is that it managed to seize my proposal and shamelessly copied everything!

On their way back, Yang the driver could feel the wrath from his two passengers. He could see the scowl and the clenched knuckles through the rear mirror. He knew something surely had gotten into their way especially when even Secretary Lu was looking hostile through her stiff expression.

Lu once thought the big boss would retain his harsh expression all the way to his office, yet the moment he stepped out of the car, he smiled, he smiled brightly like an angel.

Im confident to say that Huo is bipolar and he needs help!

Thought Lu as she glanced at Huo from time to time, ensuring that he would not suddenly eat her up in rage. She pushed the floor button for him and the elevator started moving towards the 39th floor of the building. On the way, Lu avoided awkward eye-contact with Huo as her eyes fixed upon the silver reflective wall. Nevertheless, they made eye-contact a few times accidentally and it was as astonishing as she imagined.

I did not do it. Lu believed she had to make the clarification first before she was taken to the guillotine for inspection.

I know. The president never suspected his loyal secretary. It was a quick reply from him that she was finding the reaction foreign coming from someone whose close relative was his mortal enemy.

You really trust me? Shouldnt you be afraid of the day Ill betray you? She chuckled.

Will you? Huo Yunting got to her face, staring.

W-well, not like betraying you would get me any form of benefits. So, dont be silly. I would not want to end up being dismembered and made into steamed buns.

She zipped her mouth as Huo lifted his brows suddenly, What if you *do* have some benefits? You would be doing it, wouldnt you?

Lu was sweating hard. Her neck was harder than titanium, she had to be calm and had to not make any misleading gestures. She must not accidentally nod or she would be done for!

No way! She shouted as the chime of arrival rang, she pleaded at the elevator to open faster, W-well, shall we? Sir? She waved him invitingly.

Perhaps it was a satisfying reply from her. Huo smiled even more brightly, Mhmmmmmmm Approvingly he sauntered away.

The audition had a strict policy regarding the confidentiality of the entire session. There might be pests who would pop up and taunt the president. The president could have called Huo Li to investigate everything yet he took no action throughout the day.

Well, one who climbed from the chimney would still have their palms dirty. I have all the time to let them show themselves.

It was soon time that they called it a day and Lin Yazhi waddled to Lu gleefully, Zhaoyang, any plans after this? How about we have a shopping spree? Its autumn soon. I need a new wardrobe.

Do we go IKEA or the fashion store? Teased Lu as she packed her belongings.
