Chapter 333 - Don’t ask me to brew coffee!
“Haaaa!” Early in the morning of the next day, warm sunlight filtered through the room from the open window.
Pei Ge stretched lazily and carefully got out of the bed. Quietly dressing herself, she left the bedroom with Tang Xiaoyu still fast asleep.
“Mom, why are you up so early? Didn’t I tell you last night to have a lie-in? I can go out for breakfast,” she said, exasperation coloring her voice, when she found her mother busying herself in the kitchen.
“I’m already wide awake, so how can I go back to sleep? Don’t fuss; just quickly wash up and have your breakfast,” her mother dotingly prompted.
“Oh.” She nodded and then went to the toilet to wash up.
When she came out of the toilet, the table was already laid with a bowl of rice and some dishes.
“You eat first; I’ll wait for Xiaoyu to get up and eat together with her,” Zhang Manhua said with a smile.
“I’m sorry; I’m at fault.” With her head still hanging low, she apologized.
“Hmph!” He snorted. “Do you feel that you’ve been wronged? What rights do you have to feel that way?! You are just my secretary; don’t tell me you want to get involved in the way I live?! You want me to get used to you?”
“No, I don’t,” she replied softly, her lips pressing into a thin line.
“Hmph! You sure you don’t?” He stared coldly at her lowered head and, for some reason, felt angrier – angrier that she was hiding from him and that she only viewed him as a boss.
As he continued to go overboard with his words, she, who had always been hot-headed, could not keep her temper in check any longer.
“CEO Ji, if you think that I don’t brew coffee well, and it’s not up to your standard, then I suggest you ask Lu Huiya or He Yan to brew coffee for you, instead. Why do you ask me to do it every time? Don’t call for me next time, as I really don’t know how.” She lifted her head and looked him straight in the eye.
She knew she was in the wrong this time, but why must he be so harsh with his words?! She would rather he dock her pay than listen to his hurtful words!
