"Mr. Dane?"
Cindy had forgotten about what had happened that day, which had been nearly 12 years ago. She was less than 12 then, and she could not recall the details of it.
However, it didn’t matter at that moment. The elevator door opened, but Harley had not come to his senses.
The elevator stopped on the 17th floor, where Harley's office was. Cindy hesitated for a while and addressed him as Mr Dane.
The familiar address made Harley come to his sense. He took a look at Cindy, a flicker of delight in his cold eyes, "Yes."
He then stepped out.
The news of Harley and Cindy's relationship spread throughout the company all morning.
During the lunch break, Cindy went to the washroom, and several women who were discussing their relationship came in.
"Tut-tut, reserved president and cute secretary. Perfect match!"
"Secretary James is really lovely. Honestly, if I were a man, I would go after her."
"Come on. Secretary James is Mr. Dane's! I knew it on her first day at work.”
This remark excited others’ interest." What? How did you know?"
"I just noticed some details. Didn’t you notice that Mr. Dane changed his hairstyle and tie that day? Besides, the planning department staff didn’t finish the emergency plan that day. Instead of going mad, Mr. Dane just asked them to finish it by the end of the day!”
"Yeah. The other day I met Mr. Dane and Secretary James in the elevator, uh-guess what? Secretary's heel was too high that she stumbled and almost fell when she walked out of the elevator. You know what? Mr. Dane reached out to steady her!"
"God, that's so sweet! Our company was supposed to collaborate with Yahr Corporation on a project worth more than $ 30 million last month. Though the contract was ready, there wasn't a deal! I thought the Yahr Corporation disdained to work with us! Good Heavens! Now, that explains a lot!"
She had no idea about the emergency plan. Harley had another secretary, Damion, who handled most essential errands. She had only been with the company a little over a year, and most of her work was running errands for him.
She also never knew that the cooperation with Yahr Corporation was aborted because of her.
Yahr Corporation's boss did offend her when they negotiated the project.
Cindy knew it was inevitable at business dinner. She did not make a fuss about it, though she hated that. It was a project worth more than $30 million, after all.
That boss was obviously drunk and even tried to grope Cindy. At that time, Harley interrupted that boss with a furious face.
It was not a pleasant dinner. Harley then took Cindy away sullenly.
Later, Cindy had heard that they wouldn’t cooperate with Yahr Corporation. She didn't realize it was Harley who refused to cooperate. She had previously attributed the failure of cooperation to the Yahr Corporation’s boss being offended.
