 She tilted her head and observed him. Moments later, she went from being anxious to feeling amused. She smirked and said, “Mr. Mo, don’t tell me you’re jealous.”

 He was stunned for a while.

 “Jealous?”

 He chuckled nonchalantly. “Do I look like I’ll indulge myself in these boring and childish things?”

 Banxia pretended to nod in agreement. “You don’t look like you would, and I also thought you wouldn’t.” She placed her index finger on her chin and pondered for a while. She added, “But from what I’m seeing, I think I was wrong about you.”

 A flash of amusement could be seen in her eyes.

 Mo Chenyan squinted at her. Banxia could sense danger, but it was all too late.

 The man’s clean smell rushed towards her and he bit on her smiling red lips. As she protested by staring at him with wide eyes, he covered them with his palm.

 Banxia could hear him sneer by her ears. “Ye Banxia, you’re getting bolder.”

 She dared to make fun of him.

 “I was…”

 Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of high heels clipping came from the stairway. Both of them were stunned.

 He smirked at her. “You can’t hide it anymore.”

 Banxia thought he was taking joy in her demise, but she didn’t have time to respond to him. She took a quick glance at her surroundings. Her eyes lit up when she saw the white cabinet. Dragging Mo Chenyan along, they hid together by the cabinet.

 They managed to avoid being seen by the two women.

 Heaving a sigh of relief, she looked up to see his angry face staring at her.

 Mo Chenyan felt like he was a cheating lover who was hiding from being caught. Even though he had played out these scenes in his mind before, going through it in real life was a different feeling. After 29 years of life, he had never been so embarrassed before.

To avoid being caught, their bodies were pressed onto each other in the tiny space. Her physical closeness to Mo Chenyan and the looming pressure from being caught caused her heart to beat wildly.

 They could clearly hear the two women gossiping.

 “Why do you think Chairman Mo suddenly came to eat at the staff canteen?”

 “Maybe he wanted to gauge our morale, or maybe… Aren’t there new employees who just came today? From the drama and film department?”

 “What have the newcomers in the film department got to do with Director Mo? He didn’t show up the previous times new employees came…”

 “Maybe because the newcomers are all very pretty.”

 “You mean… Chairman Mo has his eyes on one of them? No way, I thought he had no interest in women?”

 “All men are interested in women. It’s not like he’s impotent. Maybe he saw his type…”

 “Oh my… is my Mr. Chairman going to be stolen like this?”

 “What do you mean by your Mr. Chairman, he’s my Mr. Chairman…”

 Banxia could see his face turning darker by the minute. She knew things were going to turn dirty.

 Thankfully, the two of them left after a while. Banxia smiled at him, pleased. “It’s late, we should go back too.”

 Before she could step out, he suddenly turned around and trapped her between the wall and the cabinet. Banxia halted her breath and said anxiously, “Mo Chenyan, if we don’t go down now, lunchtime will be over.”

 He smirked. “So what?”

 Banxia looked at him pleadingly. “Nothing will happen to you, but I’ll be in trouble. Breaking the rules on the first day of work, who knows how they will punish me? How about we talk about it at home? Okay?”

 Her light fragrance filled his nose and his eyes darkened as he stared at her. He agreed. “Alright, we’ll continue at home.”

 The pressure in the atmosphere dissipated. Banxia looked at his elegant back view, his deep voice echoing in her ears. “If another man sits opposite you to eat with you, you’d better ignore them!”

 Lu Sinian wasn’t counted, but her beauty would definitely attract other men.

 Banxia fiddled with the pink diamond bracelet. Her lips curled up and she muttered to herself.

 “I know.”

 …

 Banxia made it back to the film department when lunchtime was close to being over.

 Liu Hua glanced at her when she entered and sneered. “You indeed have a good sense of time, always making it right on time.”

 Banxia smiled innocently. “Thanks for the compliments, Sister Hua.”

 She then walked past her nonchalantly.

 As she walked to her seat, she could see Shen Qingyan laughing uncontrollably. She even patted her on the shoulder and said seriously, “Banxia, I think as time goes on, she can change her name to Liu Qing.”

 “Why?”

 “Because her face is constantly so black.”

 She was speechless.

 The working hours for film-related jobs were flexible. Banxia knew this. However, she only experienced how flexible it really was after entering this job. Before she came back from her lunch break, the directors had all gone home as there was no need for punching cards or waiting until the time to knock off.

 For screenwriters, the working hours were also not fixed. If there were no ongoing scripts, they could choose to continue working in the company or look for inspiration at home. They simply had to submit the script by the deadline.

 Banxia, Shen Qingyan, and Zhou Xiaoxiao attended the newcomer training in the afternoon. When they came back, only Liu Hua was still in the office.

 Zhou Xiaoxiao went to look for Liu Hua to seek guidance in her work.

 The Head of the Department placed a document on everyone’s desk and Banxia flipped it open to see that it was a competition for movie scripts. The theme could be about love or anything in life.

The judgment was on the basis of merit. Whether they were new employees or not, as long as their script was good, it could be the film department’s first movie since they joined the Mo Firm. It was an opportunity for newcomers to showcase themselves.

 Before Banxia could put down the document, Shen Qingyan dragged her into the conference room.

 “Big news, big news!”
