Ming Rus.h.i.+ dodged the kiss the man who had just lied next to her tried to give her .
"Oh c'mon . . . it's already rare for you to come home . . . " He resorted on giving her a peck on the cheek .
"I'm tired . " She reasoned out, her voice was exasperated .
"What kind of company do the Xius run? Even when you held a much better position back in City B, whenever I visit, you could still find time for me . " The man kept on complaining . "I thought it would be better if you transfer your work here, but I guess I'm wrong . This is worse than before! I . . . "
He stopped as he heard her soft, whistly snore . He sighed in surrender .
She was indeed dead tired .
The following day, before Ming Rus.h.i.+ started her car, her phone rang .
"Good morning, Director Ming . " greeted her a.s.sistant .
"Yes, Annie?"
"Director, CEO Xiu ordered you to come along with the team for the launch of our men's apparel in Country T . "
"What? Isn't their flight today?" She was furiously panicking .
"At 0800H, Director . The CEO extends his apology for the short notice . It seemed that Director Qiao had an emergency . "
Ming Rus.h.i.+ on the other side moved her phone away . She couldn't help but murmur, "Bullsh**!"
Heaving, she quickly ended the call after confirming her compliance .

Masaichi Xiu snickered as Riley finished his report for the morning . He had successfully sent that woman to another country after making her work overtime for several days without pay, owing to her 'mistake' at the launch of their bridal shoes brand .
She did manage to get the actress Janice Chen and her new husband, Fa Zhang to be their brand amba.s.sadors, but she somehow offended the actress during their photoshoot . Janice Chen was then irritable with raging hormones since she was in her first trimester of pregnancy . The actress requested another person to coordinate with her instead of Ming Rus.h.i.+ . This got into the nerves of XCG's marketing director and she spat a word or two about her being irreplaceable . Little did she know that the basis of the request was because the pregnant endorser did not like her perfume .
Because she argued with the endorser, she was given an additional load of work resulting to her overtime .
Now, she was tossed away to another country in such a short notice . She is totally p.i.s.sed off .
All were done according to Masaichi Xiu's plans .
He is actually a dangerous man beneath the friendly surface . Most of his employees view him as a gentleman whose praise you could earn for hard work, in contrast to his sister who was hard to please . What they could not see is that he will never hesitate to torture anyone who threatens his business and/or family .
"Riley . " he called through the intercom .
Riley came into his office after knocking . "CEO, what can I do for you?"
"Book us the earliest flight to City T tomorrow . "
Riley's eyes widened for a moment . Mich.e.l.le had told him the pregnancy news of his previous boss . Is it fine for the current CEO to see his sister?
"Yes, CEO . " He maintained his composure and left the office .
As he was booking their flight, he tapped on his phone and sent Mich.e.l.le a message, informing that he would be away for a couple of days .
"You're going to City T?"
"Yes . Kindly tell your boss that if Ms . Midori is already showing, she might need to explain things to her brother . "
"Got it . Can you come home early then?"
Riley paused and looked through the schedule on his desk .
"I believe I can do that if nothing comes up . "
"Good! See ya later!" The kissing emoji ended the message .
Riley had a warm smile and proceeded in carrying out the rest of his tasks .
