Chapter 129

Chapter 129 “Who said the CEO likes men? His taste is pretty straight.”

“How could her husband let go of such a beauty to cheat with a young girl? If it were me...” Two male employees whispered as we walked away.

Two female employees rolled their eyes.“Men are fickle; even the most beautiful wife won’t stop them from cheating.““Men are just sex–crazed animals!”

The male employees protested. “If you hate men so much, don’t drool over the CEO; he’s a man too!”

The women scoffed.“We’re not drooling over him! We ship him and CEO Luo! They’re meant to be! He just pitied Secretary Wen;

he’s definitely not interested in women.” They excitedly discussed the pairing.

The male employees:... What were women thinking? Since CEO Luo had arrived at the company with flowers, many women had lost their minds.

Zach and I returned upstairs. He opened a door.“This is your office. The secretary’s department used to be on this 1 floor, but the CEO likes peace and quiet, so they moved it. You’ll manage the department.”

“Okay.” I looked around my new office; it was large and nicely decorated.

Zach:“My office is next to the CEO’s. Come find me if you need anything.”

I nodded. Zach left, then returned.“Oh, there are only three of us on this floor–you, the CEO, and me. He’s... difficult. He doesn’t allow anyone into his office, so you’ll handle small tasks. It might be... tiring.”

My smile was strained.“...Don’t tell me I have to clean his office with a vacuum cleaner.”

Zach’s expression turned nervous.“No, Gary cleans. We just make his coffee, press his suits, wake him up...”

“Wait!” I raised my hand, my smile vanishing.“Wake him up? Secretaries are usually 9–to–5; we shouldn’t be managing his personal life.”

Zach:“The CEO naps.”

I paused.“Zach, we need to discuss the workload. You’re his assistant; I’m his secretary. Secretaries handle company matters;

personal matters are the assistant’s job. You’re his confidante. Making coffee is fine, but waking him up...that’s your job.” I added, “You’re used to it, anyway.”

Zach inwardly groaned: I’m not used to it! The CEO has a terrible temper when he wakes up. He says to wake him at a certain time, but he can’t be woken, and he’s in a bad mood when he does wake up. If you let him sleep in, then he says what’s the point of having you. Too early, too late–nothing is right... and he’s oblivious...

“Don’t worry about it. We all work for the CEO. Whoever is free does it. I’m heading out.” He quickly disappeared.

I wasn’t going to compromise. Waking him up was *his* job! I planned to talk to Zach later. I closed the door, put away my bag, turned on my computer, and set a password.

Five minutes later, Zach sent the day’s schedule. I quickly reviewed it.

A notification. Zach sent another message. I expected it to be about the materials for the 10:30 AM meeting. Instead, it was...

the CEO’s preferences. I raised an eyebrow and opened it. It detailed his coffee and tea preferences, including the preparation methods. The type of beans, water temperature for his morning coffee... the tea leaves for his afternoon tea... ice water if he worked past midnight... I stopped reading; there seemed to be more. So, this was my job now.
