After all, she had just said not too long ago how much she appreciated the boss allowing her to stay at such a luxurious place. It'd sound way too ungrateful if she refused to do such a small favor after just a few days. In order to prove that she wasn't an ungrateful person, Yan Shuyu hung up on the phone, ran all the way upstairs to the study, located the documents that the boss had described, grabbed her purse, and was about to take off.

Her son was in school right now. The little young master was very clingy to her during the winter break, but now that they are living together, or more precisely, the day after the boss's return, the little boy's life returned to normal overnight. He had multiple private tutors lined up every day. Comprehensive curriculum covering all areas - moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetics, and labor at that. His pressure was no less than her son's.

As both kids were busying with their school, Yan Shuyu would have to go deliver the boss's document by herself.

Yes, her driving was getting better and better and she had lost her rights to the boss's chauffeur. =.=

'Tis was Yan Shuyu's first time to the Zhou's building. Standing inside the lobby with walls that were so polished that they could be used as mirrors, Yan Shuyu was a little bit nervous. There were many visitors visiting the boss's building, coming and going nonstop. The pretty girls at the front desk were asking the visitors in front of her for their names and companies' names and whether they have appointments. If so, to have a seat; otherwise, to register their information.

It was so professional that Yan Shuyu started getting worried. Would she need to state her identity and purpose as well? It wasn't a big deal but the thought of stating that she was the boss's girlfriend in front of so many people was somewhat embarrassing.

Nevertheless, what she worried about did not happen. The girls at the front desk caught sight of her and the document pouch in her hand. They exchanged some words with each other, and the two of them stopped what they were doing and walked over to her, both smiling.

"Are you Miss Yan?"

Yan Shuyu nodded in a trance. She didn't understand why the boss's employees seemed to recognize her even though this was her first time there. She didn't think she was that famous.

As she was still baffled, she heard the other girl say to her, "Secretary Lu had already informed us about you. Right this way. This is where Boss Zhou's office is."

She followed the girl reflexively. There weren't a lot going on around them at first. There were lots of people coming and going inside the lobby but all busy with their own purpose and nobody paid her much attention.

Nevertheless, when they arrived in front of the elevator at the very end, Yan Shuyu felt that all of the eyes suddenly focused around them. Or more specifically, on her as though everyone had just noticed her beauty.

How could the boss's employees be so slow? Yan Shuyu was even more baffled. Before she could figure it out, she had already walked inside of the elevator. The girl from the front desk helped her push the button before walking back out of the elevator. She even stood there and smiled at her while the elevator doors closed.

Yan Shuyu lamented at her impeccable attitude. The elevator arrived at the top floor quickly, and Secretary Lu was already waiting for her outside.

Secretary Lu was no longer that person who was eager to get out as fast as she could the one time that Yan Shuyu ran into her in the little district. She was back to her friendly self and walked up to Yan Shuyu with a friendly smile. "Thank you so much, Miss Yan. Boss Zhou's office is right this way..."

"Just running an errand for him. It's not a big deal." She was a bit disgruntled when the boss called but he was right that his office wasn't too far away.

Secretary Lu asked caringly again, "I've heard that you and Boss Zhou had moved already. How are you liking your new place?"

As Secretary Lu was the one who found the place, it wasn't unusual that she'd ask about it. Yan Shuyu nodded and said, "The place is very nice. Thank you for your hard work."

"You are welcome." Having said that, Secretary Lu explained herself seemingly casually,

"Speaking of, I was startled when I ran into you downstairs the other day. I thought was being sloppy at my job and revealed the surprise that Boss Zhou had prepared for you."

Her words had enlightened Yan Shuyu. So the reason that Secretary Lu seemed very dodgy that day was because she didn't want her to ask more questions.

And now she was explaining it to her purposefully?

Truth was, she didn't think much of it, but as Secretary Lu was the one who started with the chitchatting, she thought she could ask her a question as well. "Secretary Lu, how was it that the girls at the front desk recognized me right away? How did they do that? Have they seen a picture of me?"

"How would they be able to see a picture of yours?" Secretary Lu went on to explain, "I described you to them as someone just over 20 years old, prettier than an actress, and would make your eyes beam when you see her. Looks like they did their job well."

Yan Shuyu nodded reflexively. Secretary Lu was basically saying that her beauty was unrivaled. She was only too happy with that description and forgot what else she wanted to ask but just followed happily behind Secretary Lu all the way into the boss's office.

It was her first time coming to the boss's office but she was quite familiar with the décor; she had already seemed them quite a few times in their video chats. As such, she reflexively sat down on the could when Boss Zhou looked up from his documents, nodded at her, and told her to sit. Luckily Secretary Lu had quickly taken the document from Yan Shuyu and placed it on top of the boss's desk. "Anything else that I can get for you, Boss Zhou?"

The document in the boss's hands seemed to be particularly importantly, He only looked up quickly from them to Yan Shuyu before he looked back down and said to his secretary, "She doesn't like tea. Is there any other beverages?"

Naturally, everybody knew who this "she" was referring to. As professional as Secretary Lu was, she still couldn't help but turned and gave Yan Shuyu a look. It was truly surprisingly that she was able to have the boss remember her preference in the middle of his very important work.

That was not the only reason for her surprise. Years of working with Boss Zhou, Miss Yan was the first woman that Boss Zhou had cohabited with. Not to mention the first one who was welcomed into his office as the boss lady. Even the little young master's mother, before their divorce and was the official Mrs. Zhou, had never set food in the office as the boss lady.

Granted, the Boss Zhou was in an alliance marriage with the now ex-Mrs. Zhou but free love between him and Miss Yan. How could they be the same? Secretary Lu knew very well that there would be more special treatment for this Miss Yan in the future. There would be no need to be so surprised by anything right now. She stopped herself from turning around and asked, showing no particular emotions, "We have coffee and orange juice. Which would Miss Yan prefer?"

If she was asking Yan Shuyu directly, Yan Shuyu felt like coffee right now. She had been watching a modern-day office drama as of late and had developed strong interest in freshly grounded coffee. Granted, she had learned how to brew coffee when she worked at Sunshine House but how was that the same as having a freshly brewed cup of coffee in an office!

Unfortunately, Secretary Lu did not ask her her opinion at all and Boss Zhou picked orange juice with no hesitation.

A few minutes later, a freshly juiced glass of orange juice was placed in Yan Shuyu's hand and Yan Shuyu slowly recollected herself and suddenly had no idea what she was doing -- wasn't she just here to run an errand and deliver a document to the boss? How did she end up drinking a beverage in the boss's office?

After two sips of the orange juice, Yan Shuyu decisively put down the glass and walked behind the boss. As soon as she got closed to him, her hand was grabbed. Boss Zhou, signing with his right hand, grabbed Yan Shuyu's hand with his left one. He didn't even look up when he asked, "Bored?"

"Mmmhmm." Yan Shuyu was just about to say that she was going to head home first if there was nothing else when the boss started talking. "I will be another half an hour or so. If you are bored, have Secretary Lu give you a tour of the place."

Why would I want a tour of your office? Yan Shuyu opened her mouth and immediately saw that the boss had already let go of her and was reaching for the phone. She quickly added, "I'm not bored. I want to watch you work!"

"Really?" The boss finally looked up again. His lips curved upward and he smiled and said, "Okay, bring that chair over then."

Yan Shuyu wanted to say that she wasn't so bored that she wanted to just sit there and watch him work but, one look at his extremely handsome side profile, she gave in, moved a chair over and sat down next to the boss.

When Robin came rushing over to pick up the document, he saw his boss's girlfriend resting her head on his shoulder, her arm around his, playing some mobile game on her cellphone. On a corner of the boss's desk that was covered in paperwork was a glass of orange juice that was almost empty. That had clearly demonstrated how comfortable Miss Yan was in his boss's office and possibly even more comfortable than Boss Zhou himself.

Robin, witnessing that, reflexively exchanged a look with Secretary Lu and both of them felt goosebumps on themselves. Neither one of them had expected their boss to be so touchy-feely with his girlfriend in private. Wasn't he a workaholic?

That being said, if that wasn't Boss Zhou's preference, Miss Yan wouldn't have come over out of the blue in the middle of a workday.

As elites of the company, Robin and Secretary Lu have very intact professionalism. No matter what kind of crazy thoughts were going through their heads, they could still maintain their very solemn and focused looks. Walking over to the boss's desk professionally, Robin said, "Boss Zhou, I am here to pick up the document."

They were cutting very close in time and, luckily, Boss Zhou did not let the beauty distract him. He put down his final signature and handed the document over to Robin. "All set. Here you go."

Yan Shuyu, who just finished a round of her game, looked them. "Hi~" up and waved at the two of

Robin, who now had the document in hand, felt much relieved and smiled back at Yan Shuyu. He didn't say anything to her as Secretary Lu was talking to the boss about something else.

When Secretary Lu finished with her report, the two of them left together, leaving not a trace that they were every there earlier.

Seeing that the office door was closed again, Yan Shuyu was done playing her mobile game as well. She pulled back her arm, stood up, and said, "Okay, you got your document. I am going to head out now."

Unexpectedly, Boss Zhou stood up with her, took a look at his watch, and said, "I have a meeting at 4, that's half an hour from now. Perfect timing to go get afternoon tea with you first."

It wasn't like Yan Shuyu didn't want to spend time with the boss, she was just bored earlier when the boss was working.

Going to afternoon tea together was much more fun. She quickly abandoned the idea of going home and wrapped her arm around his with a smile. "Sure. Is the food there tasty?"

"I have never been. Others in the office said they are good though."

"You poor thing. You have never even been to the coffee shop next to your office." As much as Yan Shuyu was looking forward to it, she shamelessly said, "I guess I'll just have to accompany you there."

The boss played along and showed his gratitude. "Why, thank you, Yanyan."

While talking, Boss Zhou had already picked up his coat and put it over his arm. He then walked over to the couch and picked up Yan Shuyu's purse. The two of them then walked out of the office affectionately just like that.

Boss Zhou's office was the furthest one and it was both luxurious and quiet. There was even a partition that allowed him to wash up and rest. It very much met the standard of a 5 start hotel.

That being said, the standard outside of his office wasn't half bad either. Secretary Lu had given Yan Shuyu a quick introduction on their way in. The large office outside was the secretary room. Boss Zhou had quite a few secretaries and, at a glance, even their desks were very grand.

The best of it all was that right around the corner from the boss's office was a front desk for the secretary's office. When they walked out of his office, all the boss needed to do was to tell the secretary at the front desk, "I am going out for afternoon tea. I will be back for my 4 o'clock."

This secretary was a boy barely over the age of 20, seemingly straight out of college. He has yet to master the ability to cover up the surprise in his eyes. Nevertheless, he still said very professionally, "Sure, Boss Zhou."

Even Yan Shuyu, as a Foolish, White, and Sweet, could read the look on the boy's face. It seemed not all white collars were as professional as they were portrayed in the television shows. Once they had stepped inside of the elevator, Yan Shuyu, both surprised and curious, asked, "We are just going for an afternoon tea. Why was he so surprised?"

Boss Zhou gave her a look and said with a smile, "Probably because you are too pretty and he didn't know what to make of that."

Yan Shuyu, "....."

The boss was the boss after all. His flattery skill could easily put Secretary Lu to shame. Yan Shuyu felt delightful immediately and rested her head happily on the boss's shoulder and asked pridefully, "I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

As much as the boss was flattering her, she still needed to ask what she wanted to ask. The thought of the critical question made her look turned serious again. "So why did you insist on me bringing the document over today anyway? Could none of your employees make a trip for you?"

It wasn't like they live very far from the office. They were so close that it was probably just a matter of a 15-minute subway ride.

The bossed answered her question with a question, "Do you not like coming to the office?"

"No, that's not it." She was well taken care of today so there was nothing for her to be unhappy about. That being said, she wasn't entirely a willing participant either. Stuttering a little, she said, "I just felt that it was too showy and therefore a little embarrassing was all."

"You are my girlfriend. It's not an underground relationship. What is there to feel embarrassed about?"

That made Yan Shuyu happy. Their relationship was out in the open. They were not having an affair and there was no need to hide it.

She was able to find another excuse though. "Everybody in the lobby turned to look at me when I walked inside of the elevator. That was a little embarrassing."

The boss chuckled and teased, "Are you sure they weren't looking at you because you are so pretty?"

The one who just said she was shy immediately thrust her chest out and said pridefully, "Well, if that was the case, they should have been looking at me when I walked inside of the lobby. Why would they all look over at the same time when I was about to walk inside of the elevator?"

Zhou Qinhe nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with her that what she said made sense. He then said, "Alright then, if you don't like it, I will try not to trouble you next time."

Yan Shuyu was just about to nod in agreement when she heard the boss's explanation. "I just thought I'll have you familiarize yourself with the route, in case you need to come look for me in the future."

As much as Yan Shuyu felt that there wouldn't be a situation where she'd need to come looking for the boss at his office, she understood that he meant well. As such, she expressed generously, "Alright. All is forgiven then. Afternoon tea is on me. Feel free to order away~"

***

Yan Shuyu quickly got used to her new life after the move and she was also getting more and more familiar with her new job.

The first few days after she had joined the musical institution and, as a new instructor with zero experiences, she had no inquiries at all. Any parents who had looked into her experiences had ruled her out. As such, for the first two weeks that she was there, all of Yan Shuyu's income came from Xiao Zhou Yi, her only "student".

Given the situation, Yan Shuyu could only comfort herself by reassuring herself that she has at least one long term source of income.

'Lo and behold, the turning point in her new found career came earlier than expected. As winter vacation had started for all high schools and grade schools, more and more students headed to the musical institution to explore a new hobby. Yan Shuyu, without warning, had became a big high among these high school and grade school students.

Such was the benefits of being attractive. Even the little male lead at his age knew to ask for the tender and pretty Aunty Yan to be his instructors, the same was definitely true little boys attending high schools and grade schools.

By that age, many of their parents would be willing to listen to their kids' opinion. After all, if they were just starting piano lesson at that age, their parents were not exactly expecting them to become professionals in this area. It was just a hobby and something to do during the winter vacation. Anything was better than them holing up at home playing mobile games on their cellphones.

As such, the quality of the instructor was relative unimportant. The parents were just happy as long as their children were willing to attend.

And that was how Yan Shuyu had unexpectedly become the most popular instructor at the institution. Her weekly schedule was filled all of a sudden and she no longer had any free time in the morning or the afternoon. She even had classes at night some times. In fact, she was so busy that she barely had time to play her mobile games or watch her television shows.

That being said, Yan Shuyu was still quite happy when she thought about her income this month.
