Mi Nuo glanced nervously at Si Zhengting. Clenching her fists, she needed a few moments before managing to say, “Mr. Si, Executive Assistant Ji told me that I’ve been fired from my job. Do you know about this?”

Si Zhengting continued raising his brows and coldly grunted in assent. “Yeah.”

Hm?

He knew?

Mi Nuo bit her lips and immediately thought,This must be because of Zhuang Nainai, who’s been telling him about me when they’re having their pillow talk.

She anxiously said, “Mr. Si, do you know how I’ve been feeling about you in all these years that I’ve been with the Imperial Group?”

Si Zhengting was even more impatient than before. Coldly dropping his gaze, he stared at his office desk instead of at her.

If not for the fact that he knew Zhuang Nainai was in the room and dying to hear what she had to say, he would have already called people in to throw this time-wasting woman out of his office.

But what did Nainai want to hear?

He seemed to be listening intently, but his thoughts had long left the current conversation with Mi Nuo.

But Mi Nuo clearly misunderstood him, and she thought that he was giving his silent consent for her to continue speaking. Unable to stop herself, she clenched her fists together once more, her palms sweaty. “Mr. Si, when I first met you, I thought you were someone high up in the air, someone from high society who’s of a different breed from the rest of us. All these years, I’ve been trying to climb up the social ladder just so that I can get closer to you.”

Mi Nuo lowered her head at this point. “I know that someone of a low status like me doesn’t deserve to be by your side, but all I wish for is for you to allow me to stay close to you. I’ve always been working hard to achieve this goal, Mr. Si, and I… if you want me to leave the Imperial Group, I won’t have anything to say. It was you who gave me the chance to work for you back then, and I wouldn’t be where I am without you. But before I leave, allow me to ask you one question.”

Her heart began thumping uncontrollably as she spoke up ’til here.

She was nervous to the point of weakness.

It had been so many years; she was now finally saying what she had always wanted to say.

Also, in the face of someone as tactful as she was, any successful man would doubtlessly be somewhat sympathetic toward her.

As Mi Nuo thought about this, she raised her head and stared squarely at Si Zhengting. “From the bottom of your heart, Mr. Si, what I am to you? Am I really just… a normal employee?”

There were both expectation and anxiety in her eyes, and they had a sense of idealism and hope to them.

She believed that Mr. Si treated her differently.

He had chosen her out of so many university graduates all those years ago, and even when there had been stiff competition in the company, he had been the one to pick her out by name to give her a fighting chance.

Even though they had rarely met, he had always meticulously replied to her emails whenever she sent him anything.

She never wanted anything but for him to treat her just that little bit differently from the rest.

Her eyes were dazed and had a hint of infatuation. Mr. Si was like a god, a pure light from the sky, a person who had brought her out from the dirt… She was from hell, but he had given her hope.

She looked at him expectantly, waiting for an answer.

But Si Zhengting simply narrowed his eyes and raised his gaze to meet hers. In the midst of Mi Nuo’s urgent sense of expectation, he said slowly, “Hm?”

Hm?

Mi Nuo was stunned. She never expected that Si Zhengting would give her an answer like that. So, had his mind been wandering?

Why had his mind wandered?

Was it because he was thinking of their past?
