Faux Vows, True Desires

He suddenly stopped, freaking everyone out. Everyone was watching him nervously.

Stefan turned his head and looked at Lucinda.

Lucinda, looking very respectful, gave him a secret wink when no one was looking.

Before she had left home, Stefan was still sulking in the room and hadn't noticed her makeup for the day. Thankfully, the voice was familiar, as was the figure. At that moment, Stefan realized how his wife was seen in the company.

He walked up to Lucinda.

Everyone was watching his every move, especially the HR assistant, who was sweating bullets, scared that the new employee might tick off the big boss.

"A new employee?"

Stefan asked in a soft voice.

Lucinda looked up at him briefly, then lowered her head. She made herself look scared to look at him directly and answered respectfully, "Yes, I just started today."

"Keep it up!"

Stefan said kindly, then turned around and walked away.

After he left, the assistant let out a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until Stefan entered the elevator that the assistant dared to lead Lucinda further inside, saying as they walked, "That really spooked me. I thought the boss had a bone to pick with you. If you managed to tick off the boss on your first day, you wouldn't last long here."

Lucinda replied, "I've just started, haven't done anything yet. I shouldn't have pissed off the boss, right? By the way, you guys are all scared of the boss, aren't you?"

The assistant looked at her and said, "Aren't you scared?"

Lucinda feigned fear and said, "I'm scared too."

"That's more like it. There aren't many people in this company who aren't scared of the boss. Even though he's not a cold-hearted person, his presence can be quite intimidating. I, as a minor employee, rarely get the chance to see him. I guess I lucked out today."

Then the HR assistant whispered, "Actually, I'd rather not have run into him. I was really scared, especially when he walked up to you. I was sweating bullets."
