When Rawlins Vort saw her, he was slightly startled and joked: "Secretary Edith, what a coincidence! We met again just a while ago!"

"Yes! What a coincidence!"

Teagan Duncan asked: "You said earlier that you came to see Director Lin, what happened?"

"Uh! Why do you care about this?"

"I'm just curious!"

"Actually, it's nothing. My master asked me to find her father. But as soon as I arrived in Pengcheng, I learned that her father had passed away, so I tried to find her, but she didn't recognize me!"

"Who is your master?"

"Taoist priest Xuan of Qingniu Temple!"

"Taoist priest Xuan?"

Teagan Duncan was shocked.

Her father Eitan mentioned Daoxuan to her more than once during his lifetime. Even Eitan was able to start a business from scratch because of the great kindness of Taoist priest Xuan.

In the first half of his life, everything went wrong for Eitan, and he always lost money in any business he did. He was so frustrated that he threw himself into a lake and was rescued by Taoist priest Xuan. After that, everything went smoothly, and the Duncan's Group was born. After learning that Master Xuan had a disciple, he intended to betroth her to Taoist priest Xuan's disciple to repay his kindness, but he died of illness before he could go to Qingniu Temple.

Rawlins Vort looked at her shocked expression and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, nothing!"

Teagan Duncan took a peek at him, blushed, lowered her head and asked tentatively, "If you were asked to marry President Duncan, would you be willing?"

Ever since she knew what her father meant, she had fantasized about what Master Daoxuan's apprentice looked like countless times. Now this man was standing in front of her. He was quite good-looking and she had a good impression of him, which made her a little nervous.

"What a joke!"

Rawlins Vort laughed at himself: "They are the superior chairman, and I am just a poor boy. How can they like me?"

As he said that, thinking of Keira Adams, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, and he continued: "Besides, I also have someone I like!"

"who is it?"

When Teagan Duncan heard that he had someone he liked, she felt inexplicably disappointed, and her expression instantly turned into a face of ice that kept strangers away.

"You don't even recognize me!"

When Rawlins Vort saw her icy face, he felt chilled all over, as if the air around him had become colder. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing! I have something else to do, let's go first!"

Lin Shuya just took two steps, then turned back and said coldly: "You should work more seriously and don't be lazy, otherwise I will deduct your salary!"

"Forehead!"

Rawlins Vort was stunned and said with a grimace, "Secretary Liu, I didn't offend you, did I?"

"snort!"

Teagan Duncan snorted coldly and walked towards the elevator entrance on high heels.

"Are you crazy?"

Rawlins Vort was baffled by her change, and then he stopped thinking about it and began to patrol seriously. He didn't want to have his salary deducted.

During lunch, Isla Giles asked gossipingly: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No!"

Rawlins Vort felt even more confused.

"Then Secretary Edith said you have someone you like?"

"yes!"

"You don't like me, do you?"

Isla Giles lowered her head and said shyly, "Just tell me!"

"I'm dizzy!"

Rawlins Vort slapped his forehead and ran away, carrying the dinner plate to eat at another table!

"Don't leave!"

Isla Giles despised his cowardly behavior. She followed him with a dinner plate and said, "What can a grown man be ashamed of?"

Rawlins Vort apologized: "Auntie, don't make fun of me! I'm just a little security guard!"

"What happened to the little security guard? Does it have anything to do with liking me?"

Isla Giles blinked and said narcissistically: "For a girl as cute and beautiful as me, is it normal for you to like me?"

"I…"

Rawlins Vort was so convinced that he didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore and buried his head in eating.

"Isla!"

At this time, a young man of about thirty years old saw Isla Giles and walked over with a dinner plate. He naturally sat down next to Isla Giles. Then he looked at Rawlins Vort and asked, "Who is this?"

"His name is Rawlins Vort, a new colleague who has been here for the past two days!"

Isla Giles introduced Rawlins Vort again: "Rawlins Vort, this is Morrie, the director of the technical department!"

"Hello, President Morrie!"

"Hello!"

The two greeted each other.

Cheng Hao asked: "Is Vort here for internship?"

"no!"

"That must be a fresh graduate. I wonder which university he graduated from?"

"without!"

Rawlins Vort replied truthfully: "I never went to school!"

"Forehead!"

Cheng Hao was stunned and cast a questioning look at Isla Giles who was standing aside.

If you haven't gone to school, aren't you illiterate? When did the Duncan's Group requirements become so low?

"Why are you so busy? Eat your food!"

Isla Giles glared at him, a little worried that Rawlins Vort would be hit, and comforted him: "It's okay if you haven't gone to school, just work hard!"

"Um!"

How could Rawlins Vort care about this? Although he had no academic qualifications, Taoist priest Xuan taught him a lot! While studying Taoism, I did not miss any of the Four Books, Five Classics, Tang poetry, and Song lyrics.

"Rawlins Vort, take a bowl of Claire and deliver it to the president's office. You have to deliver it within five minutes, otherwise this month's bonus will be deducted!"

At this time, Teagan Duncan's voice suddenly came from the intercom, and the three of them were stunned when they heard it.

"receive!"

Although Rawlins Vort was complaining in his heart, he had no choice but to take out the walkie-talkie and agree. Then he ate all the food on the plate in two or two times, and then ran to the meal window to get a piece of Claire in a disposable box.

As soon as I ran to the elevator, I found that the elevators were all going down and stopping one by one. I didn't know how long it would take to wait for the elevator to come up.

He even suspected that Secretary Edith was deliberately teasing him, but there was nothing he could do! The official level is overwhelming, let alone the president's assistant who is worth more than 10,000 people!

Time was running out and there was no way to take the elevator, so he had to climb up the stairs with the Claire.

Fortunately, he was very skilled, and going from the tenth to the eighteenth floor was a piece of cake for him.

But when he arrived at the stairs on the eighteenth floor, he was stunned!

The door at the top of the stairs is locked, so you can't get in at all.

Rawlins Vort quickly took out the intercom and said, "Secretary Edith, please open the door at the bottom of the stairs!"

Only two cold words came from the intercom: "No time!"

Now there is no need for Rawlins Vort to doubt that he is just trying to make things difficult for him.

But the door was locked, so he couldn't tear it down, right?

Suddenly I saw a light upstairs from the corner of my eye, and with a move in my heart, I went directly to the rooftop on the 19th floor.

Then he ran to the rooftop to observe, found a window on the 18th floor, and jumped in.

It was lunch time. Lily Kirk was sitting in her office having a meal when she suddenly saw a strange man jumping in from the window and was immediately frightened.

Rawlins Vort was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would enter an office and be caught in the act.

After taking a quick look at the witness, I saw that he was wearing a pink professional suit that showed off his curvy figure, fair complexion, delicate facial features, and with blond curly hair, he looked a bit like a doll.
