At three o'clock, James Feng stood up and said coldly, "Ready to go!"
Christy Zhong rose to her feet at once and looked at the time. To her astonishment, she fond he got ready on time as if he stayed in Germany for a long time.
"Take the computer. And ask the driver if the car is available now?" James uttered as he tidied up his clothes. He must fell tired for burying in working.
Oh, shit. He ordered her to do that, but how? She didn't know.
Come to think of it, she realized that Junyan Zhang had told her to go out, but she didn't say anything more about it. Evidently, there were laying more traps in work.
"Excuse me, Mr. James, I..." Christy was in sort of a rush. She was embarrassed on her first day of work. She wondered whether she would get fired or not.
Christy turned off the computer and glanced at the files which showed her nothing useful information.
"Now find Secretary Zhang immediately and let her provide you with the list of contact." James spoke coldly instead of scolding her. But for a second, he snapped at her, "Don't apologize. But if you're just not up to the task, leave right now."
Most of time, Christy had to get everything under control here without any help. While if she just waited for help, she never made it.
"Yes. Getting it." Christy responded at once. She hoped she would not lost her first job on the first few days.
Pondering for a while, she tried to prove she could do things right. She thought what kind of job she would have if she couldn't take care of a little business.
In addition, Christy needed for this good-paying job to feed her family.
"Mr. James, I will put in my best performance at work. Please give me a few more days." Christy begged.
James looked at her and harrumphed. And then he seized his phone and made a phone call. "Ms. Zhang, do you remind Christy of going out at three o’clock?"
Junyan replied respectfully, "Of course, I did. Anything wrong?" She played dumb and just wanted to know his attitude.
"Call a car!" James hung up the phone furiously.
Junyan called the driver immediately with a smirk. She was clear that James had private drivers and they were always on call.
Also she understood the call from James only warned her not to do that again.
After managing it well, Junyan met James outside the door when she was on her way to his office.
Then she reported, "Car is available now!" and added, "Should I come with you or wait here?"
"No!" James grunted and dashed outside. And Christy kept up with him.
Looking at their backs, Junyan rolled her eyes and went into office.
On the luxurious car, James closed his eyes without a word.
Christy just looked at him and had almost said but she changed her mind.
“Say whatever you want!” James spoke suddenly. But he still closed his eyes while he could read her mind.
Then Christy remarked, "I have a question about the clothes we buy. Put them in the company or at home?"
The reason she asked was that she refused to let herself be led by the nose anymore when she had to take care of private affairs about him.
"Both. So we need to have two of the same outfit, but it depends on. " James said in his flat toneless voice just like a machine.
Christy nodded to agree, "Gotta it."
She though it was impossible for her to get off work on time, so she planned to get everything right ahead of the time.
As the saying goes, "Preparedness ensures success, and unpreparedness spells failure." Whatever you do, just think about it for a minutes.
A while later, James and Christy reached in the shopping mall specialized in clothing. As he went off the car, the waiters swarmed in, "Good afternoon, Mr. Feng."
What an enthusiastic welcome he received! He deserved it.
James turned his head and talked to Christy, "You’re for picking without caring about sizes. They all know."
His clothing was customized here, so the size was not an issue. The only thing she needed to do was choosing and matching.
Hearing what James said, the server greeted her friendly because they knew James put he ball in her court, "Miss, can we recommend you some types of suitable cloth?"
Christy agreed definitely because there were too many clothes. If she picked one by one, she must feel exhausted, not to mention the fact that she needed to buy plenty of clothes for him.
Christy was trying to figure out the clothes should be suitable for different kinds of occasions, such as business, party and so on. Furthermore, she planned to pick some fashionable and wanted him to look more handsome.
Finally, Christy showed James a burgundy suit jacket and uttered happily, "How handsome you look if you wear it to attend the party!"
James took a short look at it and asked, “Does it look a little showy?"
"Of course not. This is a burgundy suit jacket. You will look more energetic and reliable when you wear it." Christy explained and winked at the server.
The server helped and added, ’Exactly, the suit jacket is extremely suitable for you."
Hearing this, James nodded and he thought it was wonderful if she could match well.
"Get her some business suits and dresses!" James ordered.
Christy surprised that James wanted to buy them for her. She stared at him and was about to refuse. But she didn’t do that because of his look.
The waitresses standing by smiled and said, "Miss Zhong, you can have a try."
Then Christy walked into fitting room as she told them how to tag the clothes they buy and which suits needed two sets.
And Christy was sure that she had to buy some diverse ties and collar flowers which were suitable for different clothes and situations.
