Chapter 582 I am my bosss assistan
He stares blankly at the space where his assistant had put on a live performance then down to his desk where the man is at now.
The reason why he did not leave for home was because he already called his wife to let her know that he will be home late. There were things he had to take care of. However, due to him having some time, he decided to put his hacking skills to work.
As he gathered the dark information about Wei Hongyi, he remembered his cousin’s purpose for visiting him at Lu Corps.
Zhao Ya’Er asked for his help in finding a person, so as her cousin and older brother, he decided to find the person himself. He could have asked Xu Long to do it, but he thought it wasn’t necessary.
Not only that, he was also curious to know who the new lucky bastard is.
He wanted to see is if this person is worthy of his cousin. He cannot let his cousin be in another relationship identical to the one she was with Wei Hongyi.
She had only given him little information on the man, but that was nothing for him.
It also didn’t take long before he was able to pull up the surveillance videos at Spring. Not only that, it was easy to find the video where it showed the man who tried to save his cousin. However, the video didn’t show his face, but the moment he saw the man’s back, he knew right away who it was.
Never did he think it was someone exceptionally close to him.
Coming back from his thoughts, Lu Tian slowly blinks his eyes and stares at the man still half laying on top of his desk. Despite Xu Long’s eyes being closed like he was dead, he (Lu Tian) knows that his assistant is only pretending.
"Xu Long."
Although he was pretending, Xu Long doesn’t move a muscle when his name was called. He prays inside for himself to really faint because he cannot look at his boss right now.
"Xu Long."
Hearing his name called for the second time, he could only cry inside. His boss is someone who hates having to repeat himself. His shoulders tremble uncontrollably as he cries without tears. Opening his eyes, he force himself to straighten up.
Maybe there’s a reason why his boss is looking for him.
Inhaling a deep breath, he goes into soldier mode and looks pass his boss to the outside world from the window.
"Assistant Xu Long here. If I have committed any wrong doings, I am ready to accept my punishment."
Lu Tian stares at his confident, yet terrified assistant. With his arms folded over his chest, he moves one hand to cover his lip as he kept stern eyes on the man. However, behind the hand covering his mouth, he was trying hard to keep himself from laughing or even show a smile.
When he learned that his very own assistant is the person his cousin had taken a liking to, he was indeed shocked. However, he has to admit, the man is not bad. If they meet and decide to be in a relationship, he will not stop them.
Thinking this, he turns off the computer and stands up from his seat. He had already scared the man enough, so there was no more need to keep scaring him. Walking around the desk, he place a palm Xu Long on the shoulder then leaves his office.
"You’re good."
He spoke only two words, but as his figure disappears out the door, he did not know that those two words rooted Xu Long to the floor.
The assistant lifts up his right hand and stares down at the almost crumbled photo.
Why did his boss suddenly look into him then suddenly say that he is good? What is the meaning behind this?
Outside his office, Lu Tian walks in the direction of the elevators.
It was a good thing that he decided to look into the person Zhao Ya’Er wanted his help with. If he had assigned the job to Xu Long and the man found out that it was himself (Xu Long), he would no doubt hide this matter to him (Lu Tian).
As he enters the elevator, Xu Long never once moved from his spot in the office. He felt like an entire day, no, more like an entire year had gone by before he finally remembers to blink his eyes.
He looks at the photo one last time and when he finally noticed something, he gasps aloud.
Raising the photo closer to see clearer, his legs turn weak and he falls backwards onto the floor like he had fainted. However, he doesn’t faint but stares with his mouth agape at the ceiling.
"The beauty I tried to save is... my boss’s only cousin..."
He lifts his hand and looks at the photo. Eyes on the image of the beauty, he couldn’t help but think about the beautiful Zhao Ya’Er, whom he has only met twice, well, three if he counts the first time they met too.
Although he has been Lu Tian’s assistant for many years, the reason why he and Zhao Ya’Er never met is because their paths never crossed. Every time he went to the Lu family house, he was always waiting inside the car as he had to think of an excuse to get his boss to leave.
As for knowing who Zhao Ya’Er is, he knows that she is Lu Tian’s cousin, but only say her in a picture. However, that picture was when she was still in high school and had long hair. The beauty he saved had very short hair and looked completely different from the person in the picture he saw.
Thinking this, he glance at the photo again and heaves a sigh. He lowers his hand and stares back up at the ceiling.
"Beauty is my boss’s cousin... I am my boss’s assistant.... Our family statuses are also different..."
As he thought this, he heaves another sigh and gets up from the floor. Setting the photo on his boss’s desk, he turns to leave with a heavy heart.
Just when he thought he found a beauty who will like him, in the end she is a person far from his reach.
However, what Xu Long did not know is that Zhao Ya’Er has already fallen for him. Not only that, if he wanted to woo Zhao Ya’Er, not only will he receive help from Lu Tian but also Yue Ling.
