The Kings

"Shock?" I asked sarcastically with a smile on my face.

Hui Yin couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Of course, why wouldn't she be shocked? Yun Anong who was slapped and humiliated was here in the CEO room, also sitting in the CEO's chair.

"Y-you, what are you doing here?" Yin Bo took a step back, unable to grasp the situation yet.

"I thought it would have been so obvious." I ridiculed, there is no one here beside her, Hui Yin, and me.

Yin Bo shooked her head denying what she was seeing. She kept telling herself no way over and over. If Hui Yin was the CEO assistant, furthermore Yun Anong was the only other person in the room with them. That means Yun Anong is the... If what she is assuming is correct, then she is in deep trouble.

"Yun Anong, you can't be..." Yin Bo was afraid to finish her sentence.

"Yes." I straightforwardly answered without having to hear the end of her question. This was getting boring for me.

"C-ceo Yun, please give me a chance!" Yin Bo tried to find an excuse for herself, but she couldn't come up with anything. How did she end up in this situation right now? If only she weren't on Shu Meiying side that day while pushing the blame on Yun Anong.

I stood up from my chair to give a more imposing aura. Slowly, I traced my fingers at the edge of my desk, "I already gave you a chance that day, remember?"

She did? Yin Bo tried really hard to recall if Yun Anong did give her a chance.

'Are you sure you want to fire me?' This was the moment Yin Bo realized that the CEO did give her a chance. Instead, she continued to cling unto Shu Meiying without hearing Yun Anong side of the story.

It's wasn't like she can go to Shu Meiying to beg for a job. Right now, Shu Meiying's career was going down the drain, being hit left and right by the media. Every day, the press has been digging up new information on the dirty things Shu Meiying had done in the past. Such as sleeping with old men as her sponsor before she met Mu Yi.

It blew up so fast that CEO Mu came out to personally release a statement about his relationship with Shu Meiying. He clearly stated that he had no personal relationship with her. Aside from being a contractor with her company for their upcoming perfume project. Due to Shu Meiying's scandal, they will be canceling all work with her company.

The other news about Shu Meiying doing things behind the scene did not seem to be coming from CEO Mu's side. It can't be...

Yin Bo immediately dropped down on her knees, "I'm so sorry CEO Yun! Please give me another chance! I'll do better! It's just-"

I clicked my tongue impatiently. I grabbed Yin Bo's chin, lifting up her face to face me, "Didn't you ask me if I was dumb?"

"The CEO? Did I need to be the CEO for you to not treat me like a piece of shit?" I gave her the sweetish smile I can find within myself, "I brought you here so I can give you a life learning lesson."

Yin Bo shivered to see Yun Anong's angelic smile. Even she does not understand why she'll be so afraid because of one smile.

Off to the side watching everything unfold, Hui Yin unconsciously shivered as well. She had seen this side of her boss many times in the past, but she'll never get used to it. Her boss wasn't in full demon mode yet, already Yin Bo was on her knees unable to protest.

"Yin Bo, did you know it's better for someone to think you're dumb than smart? Guess what it'll give you?"

"I-I don't know," Yin Bo fingers began to tremble, she couldn't believe how scary Yun Anong can be. She had eyes that can murder her at any moment without feeling any remorse. What happened to the weak Yun Anong who she can make do all her work?

In the past, she'll make Yun Anong do things that were not in her job description, on purpose. Yet every time she'll do whatever she was told to do. Right now, she felt like she wasn't dealing with the same person but a twin of Yun Anong.

"It'll give you the advantage to outsmart all of them," I quickly removed my hand away from her face.

Ugh, my fingers felt dirty just holding her chin. I was done messing around for now. Thanks to Yin Bo and Shu Meiying, I have to prepare myself to see Mu Yi in person tomorrow.

"Why did you pretend to be... a new fashion designer?" Yin Bo summoned all her courage to ask this one question.

"You want to know?" I giggled, "It was all for fun."

It was all for fun? Yin Bo couldn't process Yun Anong's answer. Why would the CEO think it was fun to be in a low position? She knew Yun Anong did not get into New Image through the backdoor. Yun Anong actually went through the screening process to see if she was qualified for the position. Yin Bo knows all of this because she was there during Yun Anong's interview. The CEO of New Image went through all that for fun?

"It was to lure out people like you," I threw Yin Bo's last check with New Image on the floor. "Leave. You're fire."

Yin Bo scrambled up from the ground ready to make her escape.
