The Villainess Female Supporting Character Raising Her Bun

Chapter 211 - "It's a gift for you." (3)

“Have her come up.”

“Okay.” The assistant nodded and walked out of his office. As soon as she closed the door, the expression on her changed immediately. She ran back to her office quickly and informed the front desk and couldn’t wait to spread the news to the others. “The boss bought a purse and it is going to be a gift!”

Her female colleague next to her sighed and fell back onto the back of the chair as she looked at her with her head cocked. “Oh, stop with it already. My heart is aching.”

“Stop dreaming and start working.” The assistant who was spreading the words was already married and had no ambition toward the boss. She pulled the girl up when she heard her words and said to her, “Your heart aching is not going to make the boss yours. You know what could happen though? Having your bonus deducted because of your job performance.”

Having bonus deducted was a great tool. The female colleague’s heart stop aching as soon as she heard that. She sat back up in high spirit and resumed working right away. While she was working, she was still speculating, “How much bonus do you think we will get this year?”

“I don’t know who much it will be but I am sure it will be lucrative!”

The worker from Eleg came in two minutes after the assistant had walked out. She had a paper bag in her hand. She knocked the door, walked inside, and had Jiang MingYuan looked over the purchase. When all looked well, she handed the receipt over for Jiang MingYuan’s signature.

For VIPs, they only needed to pay their balances once a month.

Owing to the distraction in the morning, Jiang MingYuan had to work late that night and it was already past 11 PM when he arrived home.

He went upstairs with the purse in his hand and debated about whether to text the person downstairs as it was already quite late.

As he was hesitating, he received a message from her.

“Are you home yet?”

It was toward the end of the year and Cheng Huan was quite busy as well. She needed to figure out promotional activities for the year end and also working on overtime scheduling for her employees. She estimated the number of employees who would be departing by year end so she could replace them after the new year. And, as the temperature became warmer after the new year, she would need new ideas for dishes as well.

As she was scribbling down her plans, she seemed to have heard the elevator. Cheng Huan snickered at herself and felt that she was having hallucination.

The elevators of this building were not loud at all. As such, it would be impossible for her to hear it through several layers of doors. As much as she tried to tell herself that, it was still in the back of her mind. She thought about it for a little while and decided to text him anyway.

Lo and behold, he had just come home from work.

It was already late at night so the two of them didn’t chat for too long. They chitchatted for a little before they urged the other one to go to bed. Cheng Huan stood up and stretched after her call. Then, after checking on XingXing in his bedroom, she went to change into her pajamas and crawled into bed as well.

She got up early as usual the next morning and started making breakfast. She had just finished rinsing the rice before Jiang MingYuan had came down. He was in his usual suit and his leather shoes were shiny. His hair was brushed backward except for a few loose strands in front of his forehead. The man had one of his hand behind his back. Some crusted diamond reflected light off the collar of his other hand that was resting on his side. He looked somewhat different than he normally did but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was different about him.

She turned and looked at him for a while and, after she couldn’t figure out what the difference was, decided to turn away. Plugging the rice cooker in, she asked, “Why are you so early today?”

“I, um…” Jiang MingYuan started and realized that his voice was a bit hoarse. He cleared his throat and said, “I am looking for you.”

“Oh, something’s the matter?” asked Cheng Huan as she turned around.

The man walked over and his chin was taut. He looked a little nervous, almost. He pulled his hand from behind his back to the front and displaying the purse. It was pure white with some fur on it. On the front of it was the logo of the brand made out of gemstones sparkling attractively.

Jiang MingYuan placed the item in front of Cheng Huan and said dryly, “I’ve got you a gift.”
