Standing Right Next To You Chapter 47

'What is this stupid Eunuch talking about now?' Reuben glared at Asst Kim and saw him fumble.
"No Mr Luo. I heard from your assistant that they were discussing it in your company weibo group. Can you please check?" Mathew pleaded.
'This fool has no pride when it comes to his wife.' Reuben just nodded when he saw Wade shooting him a look.
"Fine, let me check." Wade answered and pulled out his phone.
Reuben did not bother with them and continued eating.
He saw Wade scrolling through the posts and then he just froze.
"These are…!" Wade muttered with his eyes glued to the pictures.
'What's wrong with him?' Reuben pulled the phone from his hand and saw an ordinary cupcake on it.
Not bothering with it any further, he passed the phone to Asst Kim who was desperately trying to peep.
'He looks like he'll drool right on me.' Reuben gave a disgusted look and scooted away.
Wade got up from his seat and hurriedly used the landline to call someone, speaking with hushed tones he ended the call.
'Why does he suddenly look so happy?' Reuben wiped his mouth after he was done eating Wade's bento.
"That was scrumptious! I did not know that such simple food could taste so good." Rubbing his slightly bulging belly, Reuben smirked at Wade.
"See if I give you any later." He heard Wade mumble.
"Can I get my phone back?" Eating a spring roll, Wade demanded.
"So do you know who brought them?" Mathew was excited to find the identity of that person.
"No, I do not. But I have something better." Wade smiled at them.
Right on cue, Asst Kirk Douglas brought in a beautifully packaged box.
"Boss, here's that thing you asked me to get." He reluctantly handed over the box when Wade exerted pressure and pulled it away.
"Thank you, Kirk. You may leave now." He sent his assistant off.
'What is he trying to do?' Reuben saw how Wade carried that box over like a treasure and placed it on the table in front of them.
"Behold! The cupcake fairy has a present for me as well and because I am so generous and kind hearted, I am willing to share them with you." He boasted and opened the package.
This box was similar to the ones that Stuart and Anthony received, it contained three of her signature cupcakes.
Wade had asked his assistant to go and fetch them from her earlier.

"Is this? .. That?" Mathew pointed to the box and then to Wade's phone. He squealed when he got a positive nod from Wade.
"It's just a cupcake! Can you stop overreacting?" Reuben said to both of them.
'It's a simple dessert that you can find anywhere, they are treating it like it's something rare and precious.' Rolling his eyes he taunted them.
"So don't eat them then!" Wade declared.
"It's fine if the boss doesn't want it. I can take it home to my wife." Kim said his plans aloud.
"Not gonna happen, boyyo!" Wade and Mathew continued arguing and therefore no one noticed that Reuben had picked up one of them and started eating it.
'Not bad! It smells appetizing and is not too rich and heavy in taste. I like it! Let those idiots keep fighting.' Reuben chuckled and picked up the second cupcake.
"Ummm…!" He licked the cream stuck to his fingers and this alerted the other two.
"Boss!!!!"
"Reuben MIng!!!"
Screamed Mathew and Wade, when they saw that only one cupcake was remaining.
"What?" He stared at them innocently and popped the last bite in his mouth.
Completely distraught at seeing that, Wade and Mathew had a staring contest as to who would eat the last piece.
"Why don't you just share it?" Suggested the wise Emperor and got glared at by his eunuch and his friend.
'They really were nice. I wonder where they were from?' He decided to ask Wade about them after those two stopped fighting on how to cut and share it.
After the entire cupcake cutting tragedy took place, the only one satisfied there was Reuben.
"It's getting late. Let's head back to our office, Kim." He said as he stood up and buttoned his suit.
The Ming Enterprise was just two blocks away and it barely took them 2 minutes to reach their office. That was the reason why Reuben would drop by unannounced whenever he got bored.
"Leave and don't come back, you cupcake thief!" He pointed at the door.
Asst Kim knew that this was not the right time to ask about the cupcakes and decided to do some snooping around himself.
Anyway, Wade would not have said anything about the dessert as he wanted to keep Lina's identity a secret from them.
Seeing them walking out, Wade heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed on the couch.
"My cupcakes!" He regretted trying to show off in front of those two greedy bastards.

Inside the VP's private elevator, Reuben looked at his assistant's sulking face.
"Find out who from where they were bought and I'll buy them for you." He bribed him with the cupcakes.
"Yes Boss!" Yelled, a revived Mathew Kim and they got off at the parking lot.

Back to where Lina was,
The moment Leon pushed the door open for Lina and she walked in, the entire Marketing department went silent.
'What's wrong? Why are they staring at me like I am some alien?' Lina looked at Leon with confusion.
"Told you right? Famous." He said and asked Lina to follow him.
Sitting down at his usual spot, he introduced Lina to the other person sitting there.
"Lina meet Julia, she is Miss Zhou's assistant and Julia, you already know who she is."
Lina smiled at her and she raised her glass of cola to Lina.
"Of course, who doesn't know the cupcake fairy!" She said.
"Cupcake fairy?" Lina chuckled at this new name.
"Let me explain!" Leon pulled out his phone and explained what had happened.
"You have a company group? That sounds fun!" Her enthusiasm made Julia smile.
Since Lina did not have Weibo, Leon and Julia helped her create an account and added her to the group.
This group could only be entered with the company employee ID number that they receive when they join work and hence it was strictly limited to the employees here.
It did not matter what names they used and so Lina's name was *FIRE FROM HELL*. When asked why she chose such a dark name, she just answered.
"It's a special name. You won't get it." She winked at them and opened her bento.
Today's meal was Japanese style omurice. It may look simple but it was made out of the most expensive and freshly sourced ingredients. She also had coconut water to go with her meal.
"Would you like to try some?" Lina offered her friends who stared at the simple lunch in her bento.
Julia politely refused but Leon readily took a bite.
'If her cupcakes are that nice, how much better will her food be?' And he was not disappointed.
"Did you make this too? The omelette is so light and fluffy but not bland at all!" He gushed.
"I know right, but I did not make this. The chef at home made it. I can't boil water to save a life." She concentrated on her rice and did not see their expressions.
'Chef? How rich is she?' Julia thought and took a second look at her clothes.
'How bad is her cooking?' Leon, who already had a clue that Lina was a rich young miss of some family, concentrated on the latter part of the sentence.
They spent their first lunch together talking about the office and all the fun stuff that they can do while working.
As Julia and Leon were assistants, their workload was limited to their boss's schedule and they were left with a lot of free time some days.
After lunch, she bid them goodbye and walked to her office.
"NOONA!" Came a childish shout from behind her followed by sounds of someone running.
Lina turned around just in time and was almost tackled to the ground by Stephen's hug. Luckily he stood firm and she did not crash to the floor.
"Steph, you're choking me!" She hit his shoulders and only then did he loosen his grip on her.
She saw his sad face and felt that she was a little harsh just now.
"I'm sorry, you can hug me as hard as you wish." She immediately consoled him.
The other employees who were returning from lunch saw the Little Devil clinging to their Fairy and were worried.
"Did Miss Fairy offend him somehow?" One of the younger ladies bit her nailed and stared at Asst Leon to get help.
Since they were a little away from Lina, they couldn't hear their conversation and they terribly misunderstood the situation.
"Is everything okay Lina?" Leon and Julia rushed to Lina when they saw that the tyrant of Obsidia was talking to Lina.
Before Lina could answer, Stephen Jin growled at Leon.
"Who are you to talk to my Noona!" Leon was stunned to hear Lina being called Noona.
"Steph, behave! They are Noona's friends." She patted his shoulders and he instantly calmed down.
"Oh. Noona's friends are my friends." He then sweetly smiled at them.
Julia and Leon felt shivers run down their spine and the rest of the employees were terrified seeing the sudden change in Stephen's personality.
There was a reason why Stephen was called the 'Little Devil' and it was valid to call him that. Not only did he have a nasty temper, he also hated speaking or mingling with the others. But even then, people admired him because of his talents.
Now seeing such a tame version of Stephen, the employees felt like they were in a dream.
