Chapter 830 My Eyes Sting

"Shouldn't you be at the office?"

Cloe closed the door behind her and smiled at her boss. "I need your signature."

"Can't you even handle that much?"

Cloe looked at Shui Xian, "I don't think I can. Why don't you ask Ma Jin if he can handle it without your signature?"

"He can," answered Shui Xian. "After all, my Bà is there. His signature will do."

Cloe looked at him with resentment in her eyes and turned to Raelle, "Chief, can't I get a cheat like that?"

"That's a cheat?" asked Raelle. "And who should I call? Only my signature would work. Even if ask Yanyan to go and help you a little, she won't agree. She likes being a shareholder, but she doesn't like taking responsibilities that are associated with the business."

Cloe placed the files before Raelle and parted her lips to report on matters. But her eyes wandered off to Shui Xian who was leisurely scrolling on his iPad.

Noticing the silence, Shui Xian looked up, "What? Do you think I'll steal your business ideas or trade secrets or something?"

"I didn't say anything," Cloe defended herself as she looked at Raelle. "He is assuming things on his own." She cleared her throat and started her report.

Meanwhile, Raelle's eyes scanned through the documents in a flash before she signed the papers and moved on to the next one.

"It's only been two days, how is there so much work?" asked Shui Xian.

Raelle continued to concentrate on her while Cloe looked at Shui Xian and moved to whisper, "Why don't you ask that to your wife? Why can't she stop being stingy and hire more people?"

"She isn't stingy," stated Shui Xian.

Cloe mentally rolled her eyes at this whipped Master Xian and added, "No, but she thinks she is omnipotent. She can do the work of 100 people on her own so why would she hire 100 people? She thinks just because people called her a robot, she is one. You need to remind her that she is human."

"I know very well who I am," came Raelle's voice.

"Chief, you heard that?" Cloe laughed awkwardly.

"You weren't being that quiet," answered Raelle. "Besides, I only take on the work that I can do. I know I'm not omnipotent. Don't spread rumors about me."

Cloe zipped her lips and nodded her head.

Shui Xian smiled at their interactions and shook his head.

"But Chief, you really are putting me in a difficult spot," said Cloe. "You're supposed to be on a business trip to Long Island this week but now, you can't go. We can't delay the business, so I'll have to take over. However, our project is at the last stage now and someone needs to be here. Who should I look for when you trust so few people?"

"Let him do it, he is pretty free anyway," said Raelle as she pointed at Shui Xian.

"Me?" Shui Xian pointed at himself. "Wife, I'm honored that you're putting so much trust into me but are you sure? I know nothing about your project. No, I do a little but that knowledge comes from the business news. How am I supposed to take over? Besides, who said I am free? I am a busy husband. I have the important task of accompanying my wife on my weak shoulders."

"I can't see this," muttered Cloe as she looked away from Shui Xian. "My eyes sting."

"Why are your eyes stinging?" asked Shui Xian.

"Because of you," said Cloe.

"Me? What did I do? Am I cutting onions here?"

Cloe gave him a look, "Master Xian, I used to respect you as a competent man. You keep ruining your image in my mind."

"When I'm around my wife, why do you even have to look at me as Master Xian? At this time, I'm only your Chief's dearest husband."

"Okay, my Chief's dearest husband, I'll change the filter I use to look at you from now."

Raelle closed the files before her and passed them to Cloe, "I'm done with it. You can take it back. Also, you can leave for Long Island and leave behind your Chief assistant to take over your work here."

"Chief, you...?" Cloe looked at Raelle in disbelief. "You're putting your trust in my assistant?"

"Don't get me wrong," said Raelle. "My trust still lies with you. And you're the one who trained your chief assistant since he joined the company. So, I hope he lives up to your teaching of all these years."

Cloe was stunned for a moment before she nodded her head, "Thank you for your trust!"

While Cloe was gathering her stuff to leave, she heard Raelle's question, "I heard your boyfriend met Yanyan?"

Cloe nodded in response, "Yes. The last time he came to pick me up, he met her in front of the hospital."

"Yanyan said she asked you to bring him over for dinner."

"Yes, she did."

"Then take him back home," answered Raelle. "Finish your work at the Long Island, I'll be discharged by then. Yoou can take him home then."

"The day you discharge will be like a reunion dinner at the Xiang Manor, how can we intrude?"

Raelle gave her a look, "It's because it'll be a reunion dinner that I'm asking you to go back home to introduce your boyfriend to the family."

Cloe's body stiffened for a moment before she relaxed and smiled at her.

"I'm going to see his sister in a couple of days," told Cloe to Raelle.

Raelle nodded her head, "Well if you're sure then you definitely should see his sister. Don't think so much, his sister's husband is your old friend. It shouldn't be difficult."

"I'll call you later," said Cloe. Then she looked at Shui Xian, "And I'll be very grateful if you're not the one picking up the call. What are you? Assistant of my Chief now? Why do you have her phone?"

"I'm acting as her phone operator," replied Shui Xian.

Cloe sighed at him, "But I want to communicate with my Chief."

"That depends on what you have to say," said Shui Xian. "I won't pass her the phone for just useless talk."
