Chapter 3

The next day, Xia woke up early. last night, she was too excited about her second chance in life. She tossed and turned, but was unable to sleep. Afterward, she pulled out a secret photo album she had hidden and looked at the pictures for a very long time. She unknowingly fell asleep while looking at the pictures and reminiscing.

Even though she did not get a good night’s sleep. It never affected her working mood. Her body was fully energized; it seemed like she was a fully charged car.

After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Xia leaned forward to look at her work schedule on her laptop at the dressing table. She couldn’t help but sigh.

Xia wanted to rest for a whole week. She felt a little lazy. Unfortunately, her phone rang with an unwelcome call. She recognized the caller without even checking the number. She had set a ring tone for people like her to know that it was urgent. The familiar name of the caller made her eyes narrow in anger, and the surrounding air seemed to drop to icy cold temperatures. Her eyes even flickered with murderous intent. 

She turned her phone into silent mode. When Xia walked out of her bedroom after dressing in her working clothes, the first thing she saw outside was her husband’s beloved appearance. She raised her eyebrows, and a hint of a smile entered her eyes. He acts like a stalker sometimes. Always near her. It never fails to amuse her.

Ren Liu took in her outfit and asked, “Are you going out?” Xia was just sick yesterday, and now she is going back to work.

“Yes, my secretary called me a dozen times to leave work yesterday.” She explained patiently. Seeing the stunned look on Ren Liu’s face made her feel a bit guilty for always ignoring him. She realized that she had never answered a simple question.

“Please have breakfast with me.” He asked hesitantly, wanting to be with her for a long time.

“Ok.”

````````````````````````

After having a simple breakfast prepared by Ren, Xia needed to go to the company. It was a 30-minute ride. Ren offered to be her driver for the day, but Xia refused because she knew how busy she could be as a doctor. She doesn’t want to delay helping the sick.

Ren instead called a driver for her.

A black limo came into her view as the driver parked in front of her. She saw Ren talk to the driver about how the driver needed to keep her safe all the time. 

Come here. “Ren Liu looked at her with a warm smile. Xia immediately started acting like a little doll.

Xia walked towards her husband. He opened the door and took her hand in his, helping her sit. Her whole face blushed bright red. A simple touch like that overwhelmed her.

Stay safe. Call me if you need me, “he said, before gently closing the door.”

``````````````````````````````

Xia is the president of the X Company, which specializes in fashion. Xia is one of the best designers of her generation. Her talent helped her a lot in creating her very own empire. She was always excellent at everything she did, but was unable to sit still knowing that all of those little traitors and the people who’d kicked her when she was down were still bustling around. She decided to eliminate the first one.

Xia had two personal secretaries, a male and a female. The male was called Michael Junji, and he was responsible for handling the company’s external connections and communications as well as its designs. The female was called Miyu Hun, and she was responsible for Xia’s personal affairs and health. She trusted them very much. She treated them like her family. 

Now it’s all changed. She now knew about the affair between her secretary and her very own so-called lover. Now that she thinks about it, she always wondered why Miyu would blush every time that man was near.

She wouldn’t take revenge because it would take a lot of time, but she would never forget her malicious words as she slowly died on the floor.

``````````````````````````

Michael had been the secretary of Xia from the very beginning of the business empire she started. His boss was a genius. He stood by her side through ups and downs. His boss might be a little indifferent, but he knew that it was only a front. His young boss was only a child that grew up too early.

Being called into the office, Michael couldn’t help but fidget as he stood by Xia’s side. He badly needed the instructions from her so that he could disappear from her sight. She stared straight at him with a look of indescribable intensity in her eyes.

Xia knew the man very well. This man had always been concerned about her wellbeing. He was like a brother who would do everything to support her. Later, she replaced him due to that man’s suggestions, but Michael would still visit her sometimes. He would give him advice and then fix any problem his company encountered.

Under her gaze, Michael felt uneasy. Did he do something wrong? Did he forget an important contact? Why was President Xia called to him alone?

“President, did I do something wrong?” He couldn’t help but say it.

“You did a good job.” Xia looked at Michael calmly. She genuinely praised Michael for doing a good job in her past life.

Arranging his necktie, Michael said fearfully, “Thank you for the praise. I will continue working hard.”

Xia gave a nod. She knew that she could always count on him. “Michael, go find me a new secretary who is trustworthy.” “Xia said bluntly.”Miyu is no longer usable."

This time, Michael was even more surprised. He always believed that he would be the first to be eliminated by the boss. The worries in his eyes became solemn, and after glancing at her, he nodded seriously, “I understand.” I will make the arrangements. “

“Good.”

`````````````````````

Xia looks at the time on the clock and it seems like lunch was near. Calling her secretary, she looked up at the loud bang of the door.

“How could you fire me like that, Xia?” she said, pointing to the lady who had made a move at her the previous time. How did she go so long without noticing or realizing her obnoxious side?

“Didn’t I tell you not to let anyone enter my office?” Xia Xia glared at the assistant secretary who had temporarily filled the position of Miyu.

The man immediately cowered in fright. “I’m so sorry, President Xia.” The man turns to Miyu. “Miss, please go out now or we will be forced to call your security.”

Miyu angrily slapped the hand that wanted to touch her. “How could you? I’ve been with you for a long time!”

Xia looks at the woman in front of her indifferently.

Been with her?

Yeah, right.

“If you want to file a complaint against the company for firing you, go ahead.” She looked at her with the blackest eyes she could manage.

 “Know that I know you’re dealing with our rival company. The reason that I am not filling a case is for the three-year service you rendered to me.” The lady in front of her paled and hurriedly ran out. This is bad. Really bad.
