"Mr. Dane?" Cindy had forgotten about what had happened that day, which had been nearly 12 years ago. She was less than 12 then, and she could not recall the details of it.
However, it didn’t matter at that moment. The elevator door opened, but Harley had not cto his senses.
The elevator stopped on the 17th floor, where Harley's office was. Cindy hesitated for a while and addressed him as Mr Dane.
The familiar address made Harley cto his sense. He took a look at Cindy, a flicker of delight in his cold eyes, "es." He then stepped out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe news of Harley and Cindy's relationship spread throughout the company all morning.
During the lunch break, Cindy went to the washroom, and several women who were discussing their relationship cin.
"Tut-tut, reserved president and cute secretary. Perfect match!" "Secretary James is really lovely. Honestly, if | were a man, | would go after her." "Con. Secretary James is Mr. Dane's! | knew it on her first day at work.” This remark excited others’ interest." What? How did you know?" "| just noticed sdetails. Didn't you notice that Mr. Dane changed his hairstyle and tie that day? Besides, the planning department staff didn’t finish the emergency plan that day. Instead of going mad, Mr. Dane just asked them to finish it by the end of the day!” "Yeah. The other day | met Mr. Dane and Secretary James in the elevator, uh-guess what? Secretary's heel was too high that she stumbled and almost fell when she walked out of the elevator. You know what? Mr. Dane reached out to steady her!" "God, that's so sweet! Our company was supposed to collaborate with Yahr Corporation on a project worth more than $ 30 million last month. Though the contract was ready, there wasn't a deal! | thought the Yahr Corporation disdained to work with us! Good Heavens! Now, that explains a lot!" "Don’t keep us in suspense. Go on!" "Rumor has it that the Yahr Corporation's boss loves to have an affair with secretaries. Secretary James is so charming. You know..." "Christ! | can't believe Mr. Dane, who has always been calm, would be so emotional!" Their voice faded away. Cindy didn't go out of the washroom stall until they left.
She expected lots of bad things to be commented on when word got out about their relationship in the company.
But the fact was not as she expected. Most of the comments were good, such as a reserved president finally falling in love with a beauty.
Most of her colleagues said that she was cute and attractive, and Mr. Dane was so lucky to have such a lovely girlfriend.
Actually, sof the things the women mentioned Cindy didn't know.
On her first day at work, for example, Harley did wear a mahogany tie, and his hair was slicked back. And he greeted her with his serious face. His solemn expression made her heart skip a beat every tshe spoke to him.
As an appearance judger, Cindy couldn't help but be drawn to the gentle, goodlooking Harley.
She had no idea about the emergency plan. Harley had another secretary, Damion, who handled most essential errands. She had only been with the company a little over a year, and most of her work was running errands for him.

Yahr Corporation's boss did offend her when they negotiated the project.
Cindy knew it was inevitable at business dinner. She did not make a fuss about it, though she hated that. It was a project worth more than $30 million, after all.
That boss was obviously drunk and even tried to grope Cindy. At that time, Harley interrupted that boss with a furious face.
It was not a pleasant dinner. Harley then took Cindy away sullenly.
Later, Cindy had heard that they wouldn't cooperate with Yahr Corporation. She didn't realize it was Harley who refused to cooperate. She had previously attributed the failure of cooperation to the Yahr Corporation’s boss being offended.
