Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 695: [Yan Jian Side Story] 11, I Also Want to Be Braver (2 more updates)_2

.

The intense smell of alcohol.

Even more intense, his presence.

With just one sip, she felt dizzy.

Strong liquor, his overpowering force.

.

Outside the office, Ben Shaming, dressed in a tailored professional suit and wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking like a stern and studious university student, walked in silently.

Ben Shaming arrived at Sisi Fashion Academy today, sat for an hour, but still hadn’t seen Tang Yanjian attend classes.

Although during the final year of graduation design, the school doesn’t strictly enforce attendance, Ben Shaming could see she was a highly disciplined girl who usually wouldn’t skip classes without reason.

Somehow, an ominous intuition arose in his heart, so he returned to the company.

He glanced at the tightly closed door of James’s office, then silently walked over to Bry’s desk.

"Who’s in there?"

His voice was calm, but the unconscious tapping of his fingers on the desk revealed the tension in his heart.

To him, he naturally knew this was merely a question he already had the answer to.

But even if intuition had given him the answer, he still preferred to feign ignorance and wanted to ask.

What if it was his intuition that was wrong?

What if it wasn’t what he was worried about at all?

Bry, seeing it was Ben Shaming, shrugged and smiled: "Guess."

Once again, intuition swept in like a dark cloak. Ben Shaming took a cautious breath, "Could it be Tang Yanjian?"

How much effort does it take to pretend to be so composed?

How careful must one be not to let Bry sense his inner concern?

Bry shrugged: "You got it right. We only have one guest here treated so specially; today she came in with quite a temper, and the door was almost knocked down."

Ben Shaming didn’t dare to breathe, clenching his fingers in his pocket: "The boss, did he see her?"

Bry shrugged: "He did. You see, there are so many scheduled tasks, I don’t even know what to do."

Ben Shaming lowered his eyes, staring blankly at the densely packed schedule.

Ben Shaming’s gaze unintentionally became a bit fixed: "Since there’s work, why don’t you just go up and knock on the door? What are they doing that makes you afraid to knock?"

He couldn’t help but ask directly.

.

Bry couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at Ben Shaming.

As the personal secretary to the big boss, being perceptive and understanding the boss’s temperament is a basic skill. The pink-hued atmosphere Bry himself could sense, how could Ben Shaming not sense it?

Bry was originally the secretary of Fude Group, having worked in Huangfu Huazhang’s secretariat. Young and agile, he was transferred to work directly for James after he returned to the company.

Initially, the people in the company thought given James’s resentment towards Huangfu Huazhang, he would return for revenge and sweep away all of Huangfu Huazhang’s people. Bry had the same concern, but instead, James directly moved him to his side, making Bry deeply appreciative.

And this Ben Shaming in front of him was someone the boss brought back from France, supposedly a "direct lineage" and should understand the boss better, right?

Ben Shaming sensed something in Bry’s gaze, awkwardly furrowed his brow: "What I mean is, there’s still so much important work on the schedule. Besides... this is still an office after all, the boss isn’t one to mix business with personal affairs."

Bry then smiled, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder: "But the boss is also human, and a young man full of vigor."

Bry was only willing to speak to this extent, but it was enough for Ben Shaming to confirm his intuition.

But Bry didn’t understand, he wasn’t guessing what James was doing, he just didn’t want the reality to be that way! How much he wished Bry could give him a completely different answer?

But why couldn’t anyone help him?

Bry, who was wise to protect himself, no longer wanted to say more, found an excuse, and left the secretary’s room. With only Ben Shaming left in the secretary’s room, he lifted his eyes to stare at the door, feeling utterly desolate.

This world has always been this way, you can never count on someone else to help you. In this world, if you want something, you have to step up and take it yourself, you can’t wait for someone else’s benevolence.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on the schedule Bry didn’t have time to take away.

He took a deep breath and mechanically picked up the notebook.

As he looked back up at the door, it wasn’t hard to imagine the reaction James might give him next.

He knew James would throw a fit.
