Pei Luoyi pursed her lips, her gaze was fixated on her phone, and her fingertips moved across the screen.

[I can stay by your side and help you. That way, you can count me in as well, hehe.]

She added a smirk at the end of the message, thought about her concerns, and edited another message to send.

[Last night, I asked if Mr. Gong wanted to invite a friend over. He didn't answer me, but I can tell that he's probably just Dr. Chi. You already know Dr. Chi, so there's no question about it being appropriate, so please come over and help.]

Xin Yi was curled up on the bed. The morning light was blocked by the curtains, and the bedroom was dark and quiet.

She stared blankly at the words "Doctor Chi" on the screen for a long time before her eyes moved. Her finger tapped on the glowing screen and she replied.

"Alright, you can call me then. I'll be sleeping in for a while, I'm so tired."

Pei Luoyi looked down at the screen, and a dark light flashed through her eyes. It was so fast that she didn't even leave a trace.

He waited for a full minute before replying … What was she hesitating for …

The answer quickly appeared clearly in his mind.

"Doctor Chi …" She held the phone and murmured.

Most of the time, a woman's intuition was very effective and accurate. Just like how Pei Luoyi didn't want to think too deeply about what had happened between the two, her thoughts couldn't help but drift in the same direction — the kiss she saw on Xin Yi's back.

Then she was startled by this sudden thought.

He instinctively wanted to deny it, but another ghost-like voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

If it wasn't him, who else would it be … Wasn't hearing his voice on the phone with Xin Xin the best evidence?

Pei Luoyi realized that he had no way to refute this question.

In the evening.

As soon as she walked out of the office, her cell phone rang. She took it out of her bag and looked at the name displayed on it. Her lips curved up into a faint smile.

She picked up the phone and walked over to the Audi by the side of the road.

"Off duty?"

At the other end of the line, the man's deep, heavy voice came over the radio.

A cool evening breeze blew in front of them. Pei Luoyi wrapped her coat tighter around herself and smiled warmly as she replied, "I just left the company. Have you eaten yet?" Do you need me to buy some for you on the way? "

She reckoned that since he was going to work overtime, he probably hadn't eaten yet. As he was thinking about where to buy some food, she heard a reply from the other side, "No need, I'll get Shen Cui to buy some."

"Alright, I'll go over now."

"Yes, we'll go straight up when we get there."

"Alright."

She hung up the phone and walked to the front of the car.

Seeing her approach, Uncle Lin respectfully opened the rear seat for her. He waited until she was in the car before returning to the driver's seat and starting the engine.

The ten-minute drive was over.

The moment she got out of the car, the security guard beside the elevator came over and respectfully opened the car door for her. He then led her to the elevator that was specially reserved for the CEO's use.

She stood alone in the elevator, feeling a slight sense of weightlessness. The smooth walls reflected her graceful figure. She adjusted her hair against the wall, and the weightlessness suddenly increased. The elevator door opened.

The woman in the black and white suit glanced at her, seemingly surprised by her appearance on the elevator. The instant their gazes met, Pei-Luo Yi saw an extremely faint trace of displeasure in her eyes.

The woman looked at her but didn't say anything. She went straight to the elevator and pressed the button on the top floor.

Pen Rooie stood to her right. Both of them were standing straight in front of the elevator door without looking at each other.

The floor was probably too high, and it would take a few minutes for them to reach the top floor from the lower floor of the elevator. From the corner of her eyes, Pei Luoyi could see the cold and arrogant eyes of the woman sizing her up from the smooth wall close to the mirror.

Even though the woman noticed her gaze, her gaze did not leave her body.

On the contrary, she became even more unrestrained, even directly peeling herself out from the wall. She tilted her head slightly and swept her gaze over her from top to bottom. That gaze was neither warm nor fire, it did not contain any hostility, it was just like a simple inspection, but it made people feel uncomfortable and her attitude was arrogant.

"Miss, is there anything wrong with me?" Pei Luoyi tried his best to keep his smile as neutral as possible and asked gently.

When Luo Xin heard the person in front of her call her Miss, a trace of unhappiness flashed across her face.

Miss? Could it be that there was still someone who didn't know her identity after coming here for so many days?

Then, he recalled that Gong Yan seemed to have found a new assistant recently and thought that the woman in front of him was the newcomer.

She folded her arms across her chest, her tone was cold, and her gaze unerringly fell upon the woman's gentle and calm eyes, "You are the newly hired assistant of CEO Gong, right? Don't you know that this elevator is specially designed by him? "

Pei Luoyi's smile froze for a moment, but she maintained her proper smile, "Is that so …" I'm sorry, I'm not sure. "

She couldn't help but silently criticize in her heart. Since it was done by someone else, didn't she also come in … This kind of tone could easily ignite a person's anger …

But did she just say she was a new assistant?

Pei Luoyi thought for a moment and decided not to explain anymore. With her identity, she would not know how to explain herself.

She didn't deny it, but Luo Xin thought she was just a new assistant who didn't know the rules.

She looked again at the woman from top to bottom.

She had long, unbound black hair, a face that could be considered pretty. She wore a pink trench coat with a beige cashmere skirt, and short boots … Is she a fresh graduate?

If she was walking on the street outside with this outfit on, perhaps there wouldn't be much of a problem. However, this was the Gong Family Group, a large multinational corporation.

"What's your name?"

"Huh?" Pei Luoyi was startled by the sudden question, and did not know how to respond.

Luo Xin's eyebrows creased even tighter, coldly repeating, "I'm going to ask you what your name is."

Even with such a silly appearance, he was still able to be accepted as an assistant to the CEO? She couldn't help but wonder if the HR Department was recruiting because of their face-changing.

Although Pei Luoyi didn't know why she asked that, she still answered truthfully, "My name is …" "Pei Luoyi."

"Miss Pei, right? Didn't anyone tell you that after entering the workplace, dress code is the most important thing? When you came in and out of the company in this outfit, do you think it fits our Gong Family Group's image outside? "
