I felt a flicker of suspicion but before I could speak, Xander interrupted.

He cleared his throat and smiled. "Ms. Crown, were you eavesdropping? You startled me." Although I could tell he was joking, I felt compelled to clarify, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Roulder. I wasn't eavesdropping. I was just about to knock." Xander laughed even more brightly. "Just kidding. What can I do for you?" He gestured forto cinto his office. Although I had been with the company for several days, it was my first tin his office. My first impression was that it was quite flashy.

He was the company's vice president, but since the president wasn't involved in company affairs, Xander was effectively in charge. Even so, a leader's office should be elegant and understated, but his was different.

The couch was brightly colored with a patchwork design, and even its shape was curved like a crescent moon. The flowers in the room were real and vibrantly colored. There were more than just green plants. There were also several quirky little ornaments on his desk.

The overall style was quite feminine. If I didn't know this was his office, I might have thought I was in the wrong place.

"Do you like it?" Xander noticed my scrutiny.

I forced a smile. To be honest, I didn't like it. It lacked the seriousness an office should have.

But he was the boss, so what he liked was what mattered.

I smiled and complimented, "Mr. Roulder, your office has a very unique style." Xander smiled and gestured forto sit on the couch. "I don't like dull decor. My second brother always says the same.

He called the big boss his second brother, which indicated a close relationship. No wonder he could make decisions so freely.

"I'll make sure it doesn't happen again," I assured him.

"No worries. It's justbeing jumpy." Xander's response madelaugh.

He was very down-to-earth and approachable, without the aloofness often found in high-ranking executives. He was completely different from Chris.

When I was at Gildon Corporation, Chris was the president of the company and nothing more. During work hours, whether at the office or negotiating deals, he was always Mr. Gildon, and I was just his assistant, an ordinary employee.

"Yes, I have something to take care of," I explained vaguely.

Xander nodded. "Sure, sure, go ahead. Don't worry about the clients. I talked to the big boss, and he said hell handle it. Just focus on your work and leave the rest to us." "Huh?" I was a bit confused. I hadn't even met the big boss, so why was he being so considerate?

Xander laughed. "The big boss is handsand kind. If you met him, you'd definitely fall for him." Fall for him?

My face inexplicably reddened, but I quickly realized Xander meant the boss was approachable, so I played
