My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

2:30 A . M .

Shun put down the folder and lay on the sofa . His eyes were heavier so he massages his forehead and slowly he falls asleep .

7:30 AM when he awakened by the tones of his phone . He sits up and picks up the gadget to check the messages he receives, and the contents made him fully awake .

Cassandra sent him a couple of messages and an MMS . His lips tear with a smile .

In the photo, Cassandra still wearing her pajamas and she was leaning in the coffee table . The background is familiar and it was the living room . . . in front of her is her new laptop and she was looking in the camera with a big smile .

Her messages content a thank you and that she really needs it because their projects are mostly basis on researching and paperwork .

Shun did not notice the knocks on his office . The person entered, curious if something happens with the president . To the manager's amazement, his boss smilingly tapping on his phone .

Manager Lim is aware of the president's anger last night . He did not hear the real reason but the secretary telling everyone that the boss wasn't in the mood again . But now, staring at his boss, that person seems not exists .

He is a straight male and married but he would admit how his boss blessed with a godlike appearance that any man would envy for not having that perfect body and looks . . . not to mention his wealth .

The evidence is in front of him . He was just waking up this morning . His hair is in mess, his clothes from yesterday still on his body but he was still looking fresh . Life is cruel for average people like him . He wants to cry in this unfairness life given .

Somehow, he is lucky to get married to his beautiful childhood best friend, or else, his chances are very slim .

Speaking of marriage, his boss is now 30, and he did not see him dating around . May he has few dinners with known daughters in High Society, but he never heard his involvement to any female .

Except for that one time, in the beginning, everyone thought that Blaire is his secret lover . Being his personal secretary and seems to have a special relationship with the president, one day it reveals that she was actually his younger sister .

Oh, well . . . he has no right to gossip his boss . He was just curious if the person who's responsible for his president's smile is from a woman and not from a man . What he was thinking? Manager Lim shook his head .

He stayed peeping in the door and knocks one more time . His boss looks up and right away wear a serious face . Hmm . . . I caught you, boss . Hehe . . . Manager Lim grinning secretly .

"Manager Lim, come in . "

"Good morning, boss . " He bowed . "Do you want me to call the kitchen for your breakfast?"

"Yes, thank you . I'll take a shower first, just send it to my suite . "

"Okay, boss . "

"That is not what you came for, am I right?" Shun asked the hotel Head Manager .

"Yes, boss . I met President Gibb's secretary in the lobby this morning and was requesting an appointment for a meeting . "

Shun stopped typing on his phone . He lifts his head and told the manager, "Tell my secretary to set sometime tonight . "

"Okay, boss . I'll head out . " Manager Lim bowed then left the office . Wow . When is the time he has a calm conversation with the president?

He may still be using a serious tone but he wears a calm face, and even though he stayed looking down on his phone and typing which he never did before when talking to his employees, that is new to him . He wanted to tell others but he must zipper his mouth . Why gossiping his boss?

Everyone shut their mouth and work blindly when the hotel runs an illegal doings before Shun took over it and became the President of the Crow Corporation . Now they have more reason to shut their mouth and work harder instead .

Young Villa, Hiryuu Island

Cassie was shaking strongly . "Cassie wake up!" Joanna yelling at her .

"What? It is still early morning . "

"Come on! My dad waiting downstairs!" Joanna pulling her to get up .

"Why? Is something wrong?" She yawns and rubbing her eyes to clean out the morning stars on it .

"Just come on!"

"Okay, just don't drag me along . I'll follow you . " Cassie made stagger steps . She's still half-sleep though . She glances at the antique clock hanged along the staircase wall .

The time is 6:30 in the morning, she could have still taken her beautiful sleep but Joanna being antsy .

Downstairs, she saw uncle Ruben in front of a brand new laptop . She wonders if it for Joanna and she wanted to show it to her .

She took one of the single sofas when uncle Ruben gestured for her to come closer . She kneels on the carpeted floor and leans on the coffee table, she places both her arms above the table, and rested her chin on them . She waited for uncle Ruben to make a demonstration of something .

"Boss Shun sent this for you and I was asked to show you, and teach you its complicated system . "

Cassie's eye grew wider . She froze and forgets to blink .

Joanna secretly recorded her reaction . When Cassie still not reacting from the news, she shook her vigorously .

"Cassie! This is the latest laptop who only wealthy people could buy it! Its worth is more pricey than my father!"

Cassie was dumbfounded of how Joanna make a joke on his father, she pinches her and scolded, "you silly daughter . "

True Joanna just joking but his father wanted to give her a spank . The old man just shaking his head .

After a half of hour demonstrating the gadget, Cassie tries its functions . Grateful for the fastest internet connection now, the computer speed is awesome .

Joanna borrowed Cassie's phone and she took photos of her . She told Cassie to look at the camera and smile .

Rudolf hears his phone receiving a message . He pulls it close and swipes the screen .

His forehead showing black lines . He was confused about why Joanna sent him an MMS .

He opens the file and there shows up Cassie's photo . Joanna captioned it that this is her reaction after receiving the brand-new laptop from the boss .

Rudolf massages his forehead . He has no sleep yet since he arrives . This silly girl is dragging him into a difficult situation .

He picks up his phone and forwards the photo to someone and caption it . . .

"Joanna sent me this photo . I've already deleted it on my Gallery and Inbox . "
