Chapter 22: She Is the First One

Macy stops walking, turns around and finds Yolanda Sue stands behind her. Yolanda is holding a cup in

her hand, as if she had just been to the tearoom.

“Secretary Sue, now I need to go downstairs to deal with some necessary things. I will be back soon."

she answers with a faint smile.

Yolanda raises her eyebrows, "Official or private?"

Clenching tight the money in her hand, Macy hesitates for a moment but still answered truthfully,

"Private affairs."

"Geez." Yolanda utters a snorting laugh, "you know that the Penn’s doesn't need idlers, don’t you? If

you always handle these personal matters during working hours, there will be no need, I think, for the

company to hire you anymore.

Yolanda really doesn't mince her words. Just then the elevator cabin arrives by coincidence, and she

barricades the door suddenly, looking coldly at Macy, "Go back!"

Without saying anything, Macy looks away, with a frown on her face. Anyway, what Yolanda said is

reasonable as well.

As Macy walks towards her office, suddenly, she feels something burns her shank. Macy turns and

finds some hot tea steaming is on the floor behind her.

"Sorry, I just accidentally sprinkled the water." Yolanda apologizes immediately, but it’s not hard to

notice a feeling of satisfaction in her eyes.

Macy grits her teeth secretly, pretending to be calm and smiling at Yolanda, "That’s all right."

Yolanda at once says unkindly, "Great! Then you’d better mop the floor now."

Stunned, Macy stares back at Yolanda, "Don’t we have cleaners in the company?"

"This floor is one of the most important areas of our company; therefore, the cleaner is not allowed to

come here during working hours. Now the tea is all over the place... What if some managers who come

here to report vital information to Mr. Penn tumble over?" Yolanda flicks her hair, "By the way, the mop

is in the tearoom."

Macy is reduced to silence.

Having her, a secretary of the boss, mop the floor, Yolanda does show no respect. However,

considering that Yolanda is her senior, if she fails to bear with such insults now, what else can she do in

the future?

Macy smoothly takes the comforts from that fact and replies lightly, "Secretary Sue, you could leave if

you are busy now. I'll take care of everything."

Without hesitation, Macy goes straight to the tearoom and then walks out with a sponge mop.

She makes a ponytail hastily, rolls up her sleeves, and starts to mop the floor earnestly.

Yolanda looks a little surprised. She didn’t expect that the daughter of the Downey family is so gentle

that she just acted in obedience to these unreasonable demands.

Nearby, Yusef is always standing in the doorway of the president's office and witnessing this scene.

The girl bows her head, mops the floor earnestly, and bends down, revealing her neck which is as

smooth as jade...

Feeling his heart tighten, Yusef’s gaze can’t help being more intense.

In fact, he was here from the beginning that Yolanda put her in a terrible quandary, but he didn’t expect

her to be so patient, either.

Yusef breaks the silence by cleaning his throat suddenly. Yolanda hastens to look back; as she sees

Yusef standing at the door, there is the panic rising in her eyes.

"Mr. Penn..."

She glances at Macy, who is still mopping the floor, and hurriedly walks towards Yusef, "I am just..."

Yusef racks her brains to consider some possible answers. After all, there is no reason for a secretary

to do this kind of rough work at the Penn’s. Her motives are too obvious to be ignored, anyway.

Yusef smiles and makes up an excuse for her, "Training new employees?"

She immediately responses, “Yes, training new employees!"

Presently Macy hears the sound of that man, but she doesn't raise her head, continuing to mop the

floor. Not only does she clean the place where the water had just been sprinkled, but she also shines

all areas nearby.

Realizing that Macy remains unmoved by their conversation, somehow, Yusef gets a complicated

feeling. He grabs a tie on the hanger and hands it to Yolanda.

"Do me a favor, please."

Yolanda holds the tie flatteringly and even cannot hide her smile. Although she has worked in the

Penn’s for several years, she never has such an opportunity to get close to him.

"For the negotiation in an hour, did you call the secretary of SkyTrium's boss to confirm?"

Yolanda nervously helps him tie while whispering, "Yes, I just confirmed that the address is at 405,

Block B, Starlight Building."

"Huh." Yusef looks at Macy. It happens that she finishes mopping the floor and stares back to him.

From Macy’s point of view, Yolanda slightly raises her head, being pretty close to that man as if there is Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

a certain chemistry between them.

Confused, she looks at the mop in her hand, and walks directly to the tearoom.

By the time she returns from the tearoom, Yolanda has already put on his tie.

"I’m done, Mr. Penn."

Yolanda couldn't help hiding the excitement. In fact, Yusef asked her to learn how to tie when she just

came to work for the Penn’s, but in the past two years, he never let her tie for him once. Even though

nowadays she isn't very skillful at it anymore, the final result still makes her satisfactory.

Yusef walks to the office where a mirror is on the bookcase near the door, which can clearly reflect his

upper body.

He glances at the mirror, turns around, and then eyes Yolanda coldly, "It isn’t straight, go back and

practice tying the necktie a hundred times."

Looking this tie up and down, Yolanda 's smiling face stiffened.

It’s just a little crooked...

Yusef raises his eyebrows, "Any objection?"

"No, I'll do what you required..."

Yolanda’s mood turns upside down within the past few minutes. Trying to avoid embarrassment, she

walks back to her office in confusion.

As Macy is still hesitating whether she should go back as well or not, she inadvertently sees Yusef

staring at her.

The man unhesitatingly loosens the tie around his necks, "Come here."

Macy walks towards him. As soon as she entered his office, Yusef, however, shuts the door suddenly.

Looking at the tie in the man's hand, Macy takes it from him with an involuntary gasp.

"Let me do it."

Yusef doesn’t refuse this petition, staring down at her.

Macy stands on tiptoe so that she can wrap the tie around the man's neck, while the breath blowing on

her forehead is pretty hot.

After knotting his tie skillfully, she gently adjusts it on both sides.

In those far off days her mother asked a professional etiquette tutor to instruct her all manners about

social propriety and some clothing tips. Among them, tying is one of the most basic things, so, to be

frank, she is really good at it.

As Macy is taking the last step, she suddenly feels her waist being tightened, and the whole body falls

upon the man.

She looks up to him in panic. "Why didn't you ask me for help when you were bullied?" He asks.

Macy freezes for a moment, and then finishes the last step of tying, "I don't wanna others to know our

relationship."

Feeling complicated, Yusef wrinkles his eyebrows.

The women who strive to get involved in his life on their own initiative are countless, but for the

women who just want to hide their relationship…She is the first one, he thinks.
