On that day, Merry started her first work trip in her life.
Her workplace was in the cubicle next to Chris' office. For this new assistant president, the employees in the office area started gossiping privately.
They faintly heard Merry calling Chris as her older brother, it seemed she was a member of the family!
Therefore, Merry's job this morning was only to repeatedly read the work manual.
Even though the little girl likes to play, she always takes her work seriously.
As it was nearing noon, Merry rested her chin on the table, and her round eyes kept rolling.
She felt so hungry!
She looked at the book on the table and let out a frustrated sigh. When she took out her cell phone to order food, the door was pushed open.
At this time, Chris had a suit on his arm, stood at the door looking at Merry's languid appearance, and said in a deep voice, "Just here for a day and already lazy?"
"Brother Chris!" Merry immediately stood up and turned around. As she walked, she moved too fast and hit the corner of the table.
She said ouch while continuing to rub her thighs, and looked at Chris. "I'm not lazy. I just finished reading all the work manuals given by HRD. As your assistant, do you have any other work for me? I've been so bored this whole morning!"
Chris saw Merry's dissatisfied expression, then sighed and tapped his forehead. "On your first day of work, did you already want to work seriously?"
"Of course!" Merry replied. With her hands behind her back, she raised her eyebrows mockingly. "I don't get paid to play games in the office every day!"
"Okay, I'll let my other assistant give you some work assignments in the afternoon. Let's go, let's have lunch first."
After Chris finished speaking, Merry secretly smiled.
She quickly followed him, like a lively little fox.
The other assistants in the office stared at the two distant figures dumbfounded, forgetting to react for a moment.
How come their president, who had always been stubborn, care so much for the little girl?!
...
After entering the elevator, Merry looked at him eagerly and asked, "Brother, as your assistant, what is my main task?"
Right now, Chris was leaning against the elevator wall. Gazing at the little girl's cheerful expression, he answered honestly. "You will handle some paperwork related to me, as well as making daily meeting schedules and travel arrangements."
"It's so simple then!" Merry shook her head. It wasn't much different from being Lilia's assistant.
Chris' eyes fell on the little girl, he then softly said, "It's simple, but mistakes also happen often. I don't expect you to do much, I just hope you don't do wrong with important documents."
Hearing that, Merry patted her chest. "Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
As the words fell, the elevator had reached the lobby on the first floor.
When the door opened, Merry almost bumped into someone just as she was about to get out.
Chris grabbed her wrist just in time, and dragged her to her side in a protective motion.
The person outside the elevator was stunned, and said happily, "Merry, are you back already?"
Merry was looking down at her wrist which was being held by Chris, and when she heard the voice from the other party, her eyes immediately lifted. "Sis Vivi? Why are you here?"
Merry and Vivi were quite close because of their relationship with Lilia.
Although they didn't have much contact, they were very impressed with each other.
Vivi turned sideways, nodded to Chris, and then answered Merry, "I work here. Are you here to meet Mr. Chris?"
Merry dragged Chris out of the elevator and explained proudly. "No! I also work here, as the assistant of the president!"
Vivi was surprised and she suddenly laughed when she saw Merry's proud expression.
She was still the same as she was a few years ago. Innocent, lively and cute.
After bidding farewell to Vivi, Merry still held hands with Chris and pulled him as he walked. She then muttered. "Brother, since when did Sister Vivi work here?"
"She's been here for a long time."
Chris looked down at her and seeing Merry never let go of his hand, the man smiled slyly. He held Merry's hand firmly.
The two of them walked through the lobby where people were coming and going, and left hand in hand.
This obviously shocked all the Gaia employees who passed by!
Is their president in love?!
What's more, the little girl who became his partner looked like a doll, so cute!
It's almost lunch break, and the shocking news about Chris and the mysterious little girl is spreading throughout the building.
After many questions, they all found out that the little girl was the new assistant who started work today!
...
Chris took Merry to a restaurant close to the company.
Both agreed to sit in a private room because of the scorching heat of the sun today. When Merry ordered food, Chris sat across from her and lit a cigarette.
The maid took this opportunity to turn on the exhaust. As the cigarette smoke rose, Chris' handsome face was full of confusion.
After Merry ordered food, she looked up and looked at Chris.
Her heart seemed to be stung by something, and there was an inexplicable sour expression on her face.
The little girl had spent some time in the entertainment circle, and she had learned a lot about the ability to observe things.
At this moment, she was sitting across from Chris, pointing a finger on the man's nose. "Brother, what are you thinking?"
After she returned to Indonesia, it was clear that something had been bugging her brother's mind from the start.
Even though there wasn't much change, he rarely spoke and seemed lost in thought.
Merry bit the corner of her mouth, her big eyes filled with doubt.
She didn't really like Chris's expression now, which was a little decadent, a little confused, and alienating everyone around him.
At this moment, when Chris came back to his senses, he met the little girl's big black eyes.
He swallowed, then subconsciously twirled his cigarette butt. He rubbed her cheeks, and said shamelessly, "I've missed you!"
Merry's heart was hot, and she blushed inexplicably.
She blinked, her eyelashes fluttered. With a slight frown between her brows, she scratched her neck and said, "I can't believe you are lying!"
"Heh…" Chris chuckled when he saw Merry's face turning pink. Turning his face, he insisted. "After lunch, go back to the company first. After finishing work in the afternoon, let the bodyguards send you home early."
"How about you?" Merry asked without thinking, "Won't you come home after work?"
Chris shook his head and looked at her intently. "I have something to work on, I won't be in the company throughout the afternoon.. If you have any problems, you can call me anytime."
