Chapter 17 Misunderstanding

If something might be out of your control, you’d better let it go. "Got it!" Junyan Zhang uttered softly. Then she talked to James Feng politely with a little complaint before she walked outside, "Mr. James, I have delivered that. If there is nothing else to do, I will go to work." She felt upset because in his opinion she was not excellent enough if she competed with Christy Zhong, although she worked with him for several years. James knew Junyan could read his mind and knew his thoughts too well, and it was also precisely why he hired Christy. "Okay!" James added coldly with his eyes sticking to the screen. He seemed to draw something. Junyan fixed to the ground after the voice of him died away, her staring eyes full of disappointment. After noticing a change in her behavior, James raised his head and spoke casually, "What’s the matter?" Whatever anguish she suffered she had to conceal. She said quietly, letting bad moods go. "Nothing, I have to go to work." James glanced after her and shook his head with his mouth quirking up, and continued his work. By this time Christy was tidying up his wardrobe in the room and tried to organize things. In the wardrobe there were lots of shirts and suits which made him look less energetic, although they were expensive ones. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head, "How come he liked to dress so gloomy?" Different people had different aesthetic standards. Although she majored in secretary, she had a good grasp of clothing aesthetic. And she loved to study on clothing and color, especially drawing and her major was vocal music in the beginning. Whatever, it was him who told her to take care of his personal affairs. So she had the right to deal with those ugly shirts and suits. Then she picked out clothes and chose which one was suitable for him. After digging through the wardrobe, she couldn’t find a shirt and suits to satisfy her. So she threw all of them into dustbin. When she cleaned up and carried boxes outside, James took his eyes off the work and he startled, "What are you doing now?" James wondered he just asked her to clean the wardrobe, but now it seemed that she cleared out everything. Hearing his voice, Christy wheezed, "Mr. Feng, your clothing was out of fashion. You need to change that image and become a energetic and handsome man instead of dressing like an old man." Saying this, she regretted that she should talk to the big boss in a casual manner. It was him who decided whether she stays or leaves. How stupid she was! But Christy couldn't take back what she said. She felt so regretful that she lowered her head and squeezed her hands. To her surprise, James just said, "It's been a long time since I've refreshed my wardrobe. You do that, but you need to match my clothing to different occasions as we go out." Hip hip hooray! Christy felt she was so lucky because he didn’t scolded her as expected. The joy was the hardest to explain. She responded happily, "I understood!" Anyway, it was not her matter to spending money on clothing and she just needed to match them perfectly. Finally, Christy put all the waste outside the room. She desired to catch her breath because cleaning all the time made her a little tired. Nowadays, only a few people worked long and strenuous hours. Today, she was one of them. She needed to have a good rest otherwise she didn’t have the energy to take care of her little rascal Justin. Suddenly, James said, "What kind of jewelry do you like?" What? He planned to give her a present? Thinking of that, Christy felt her heart jumping out. How lucky she was! She hoped the luck could be around her forever. "I, I don't need jewelry. My accessories are all crafts." Christy uttered uneasily and felt shy. No gains without pains. Accepting jewelry from James was inappropriate, salary is what he needed to pay her. James felt funny and laughed, "The jewelry is not for you. Don’t think too much. I just want to get an idea from you as the company design a new series of jewelry." Oh, Christy misunderstood what he said. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl under a pew. Why didn't he said clearly? He definitely made a fool out of her. "Er...em" Christy began to stammer and was frustrated without speaking a word. James had no hopes about her and he saw her awkwardness. Then he shook his head with a sneer and wondered for a girl who was in debt and had to take care of her ill mother, she couldn’t have much energy to focus on beauty. "Go to work. Don’t make any noise!" James said coldly. His voice had more of a sense of urgency. Christy didn't want to defy him. Then she replied quickly, "All right." and walked lightly into the room. She arranged the wardrobe well and cleaned up before she looked out the window at the view to take a rest. After having a good rest, she needed to shop with him. So she couldn't be at home on time. Then she messaged Wen, "Please help me pick little pumpkin. I'm not available tonight." Wen messaged back quickly, "Don't worry, my queen. It’s my honor to take the little pumpkin safe home." Christy was so grateful for receiving her help during all these years. No words could express Christy's appreciation. "Thank you very much!" Christy texted with a smile. In her heart, she has long regarded Wen as her family member in her mind, she always said she had a family of four members. Looking at the time, Christy gently went toward the door and silently sat down on the sofa to look through the documents that Junyan gave her.
