Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 821: Chapter 822: Being His Employee Is Even Harder Than Being His Plaything

She suddenly felt at a loss, originally sitting with her legs together, she slowly tightened them closer. Her body involuntarily stood up, her thin shoulders secretly trembling.

”The meeting is adjourned, Secretary Xia stay behind.” Beitang Yao’s slightly angry yet incredibly pleasant voice penetrated the air of the meeting room, entering Xia Qingqian’s ears, as he personally called her name.

With Beitang Yao’s order to end the meeting, everyone quickly and orderly left the meeting room. In less than half a minute, the hall which had over two hundred people became instantly empty as if deserted.

In the vast meeting room, only Beitang Yao and Xia Qingqian remained.

He sat coldly on the chair of the principal position, those ink-black eyes as cold and dim as ever, causing Xia Qingqian to instinctively rub her arms, pressing down the goosebumps that arose.

Beitang Yao’s presence was overwhelmingly strong and cold, she couldn’t resist, and especially after learning his true identity, she wanted even more to maintain a certain distance from him.

But there was a contractual bond between them, how could she keep her distance? At the company, he might disdain close contact with her. But back at the villa, wouldn’t he punish her with those face-flushing, heart-thumping actions?

”The translation materials I need.” Beitang Yao said coldly, looking at the tablet in his hand.

Xia Qingqian was stunned and took a long time to regain her senses, her legs were already trembling: ”Young Master... President Beitang, are those the materials that Night Wind Steward asked me to translate?” she asked cautiously.

Beitang Yao gave a gruff response, after which he frowned slightly, his face showing anger, and suddenly lifted his eyes, coldly reflecting on Xia Qingqian with a pair of icy and sinister eyes: ”What I want is work efficiency.”

”President Beitang, I will translate immediately...” She lowered her body by half, realizing it was harder to be his employee than his plaything.

His icy eyes narrowed, ”The whole morning has passed, what have you been doing? Weren’t you confident you could handle the work?” That calm voice sent chills down the spine. The aura he emitted was imposing without anger, making it unbearable for anyone to withstand.

Frightened, Xia Qingqian wobbled at the knees, almost kneeling down, her palms were sweating thinly due to excessive nervousness.

She was speechless.

”If you can’t do it, get out immediately—” He slammed the tablet on the conference table with a ’bang,’ totally dissatisfied with Xia Qingqian’s work progress and timid attitude.

”President Beitang, give me half a day more, I will definitely translate all the documents.” She gritted her teeth, feeling as if she was back to the time she begged him to buy her. The tone, the atmosphere was exactly the same.

The only difference was that this time, she was begging to keep the job.

Beitang Yao raised an eyebrow but did not speak, seemingly dissatisfied with the time she mentioned.

Xia Qingqian inadvertently looked up, meeting his sinister and chill-penetrating icy eyes, her heart sank, her brows knotted, ”Five hours...” she adjusted the time.

But she was worried sick, five hours... was she crazy? Even if given another day, it might not be possible to translate that mountain of documents. If she had known earlier that he was such a harsh and ruthless boss, she would never have foolishly volunteered so eagerly.
