Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 355 - Glad You Like It

Whether Raelle understood Hyson's meaning or not, she understood one thing from his statement though. Hyson was willing to go back to see Xiang Weimin because he reminded Hyson of Raelle.

Raelle already knew Hyson was the person who people would call someone with a golden heart. He was kind and considerate. His childhood bitterness didn't make him a bitter person. Instead, it turned him into a sweet person. Perhaps it was his way of challenging life to show that no matter how many stones were thrown at him, he could still stand tall.

Since Hyson figured out that Xiang Weimin showed signs of depression, he couldn't bring himself to ignore him. But it was not purely because of his golden heart. Most of the credit went to Raelle since Xiang Weimin was not only her elder brother but was also someone who resembled Raelle a lot.

How could Hyson not pay attention to such a person?

"Don't always bring trouble to yourself," said Raelle lightly when she evaluated the reason why Hyson paid so much attention to Xiang Weimin.

Hyson yawned and said lazily, "What can I say? I am just that fond of troubles." He watched from the side while Raelle went back to work. Looking at the heap of work she had to get done, he pouted. "How can someone make so much of a mess in just one day?"

"If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?" she retorted. "I've also been thinking how my staff managed to mess things up to this level within one day."

It was truly baffling to anyone. She felt like everything was in disorder. And she definitely didn't like disorderly things. It made things troublesome. And she was still the same Raelle who would avoid troublesome things as much as possible. It's just that her definition of troublesome was becoming quite loose now.

"You continue to work then," said Hyson as he stood up. "I should get going now." He seemed like he was actually forcing himself to move right now. He clearly didn't wish to go to the company. He never liked those meetings with the management. "Don't just work. It's almost time for lunch. Don't forget to eat."

"I know," was Raelle's response.

"I'm leaving now," said Hyson.

"Okay."

"I'm really leaving."

"Got it."

"I'm almost gone."

"I see."

Hyson tsked at her when he opened the door and said, "And now, I'm gone."

Only when he stepped out the door did Raelle lifted up her head to look at the closed door of her office. If one looked closely, one would be able to see the helplessness in her eyes which even she wasn't aware of. But anyone who saw these two together could easily tell that Raelle Xiang was actually helpless before Hyson. There was no other way around it.

Meanwhile, Cloe was spinning around in the office like a top. Since she had to bear the pressure of Raelle's silence, she ended up scolding her own assistants. Only a complete and perfect plan was supposed to be put on Raelle's desk and yet these assistants of hers actually dared to mix up incomplete things.

She didn't look as well-kept as she did in the morning. Now, even her hair was sticking out of places.

*Ring!*

Cloe took her phone and answered the call, "Who is it?" She sounded snappish.

The person on the other end was silent for a while before he dared to speak out softly, "It's me. Xukun."

Cloe almost slapped her mouth for being so rude. She had a really good impression of Cui Xukun from their very first date. And she could also see that he was interested in her as well. She didn't want to ruin that impression but now...

With an awkward laugh, Cloe said, "Oh, it's Mr. Cui."

"I told you, you can just call me by my name," reminded Cui Xukun. Mr. Cui was too distant but he couldn't force her either. Technically, they just met. So, it wasn't right to start running before learning how to walk. "Anyway, did I catch you at a bad time?"

Cloe groaned out, "It's really a bad time."

"Oh, I wonder what happened?" he asked curiously. "If you don't mind, I can listen to you."

Cloe pressed her lips together before telling him, "My boss is in a bad mood today." That was how she could put it. Except for the bad mood, she really didn't know how to define Raelle's situation. "Someone made a mistake with a contract and we almost lost millions because of that. So, after learning this, she ended up nitpicking on the smallest of mistakes. Not like that's new. But the problem is, she was gone for one day and people made a lot of small mistakes during her absence. As they say, drops of water make an ocean, so you can imagine when those small mistakes piled up, what happened."

"That sounds awful," said Cui Xukun.

Cloe could only nod in agreement. It not only sounded awful, but it was also really awful. Thankfully, Hyson showed up and now, she was hoping that Raelle's below zero temperature would start to rise up again.

"Are you looking for me for something?" inquired Cloe.

"Not really," answered Cui Xukun and hesitated. "I just wanted to talk to you. That's all."

"Oh..." Cloe didn't know what else she could say in reply to that.

"Actually, I also wanted to ask something."

"What is it?"

"You won't mind if I send you something, right?"

Cloe was shocked to hear that, "What do you want to send me?"

"It's nothing too fancy," he replied in a small voice.

*Knock!*

Cloe looked up to see one of her assistants at the door, holding a box in his hand, "Someone sent this for you."

As he placed that box on her desk, Cloe looked at the chocolate box. On the box was a sticky note that read, 'Chocolates make everything better.'

Cloe's lips curled up involuntarily. "Thanks for the chocolates."

Cui Xukun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to himself, "I'm glad you liked it."
