He couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing. Doing this... does seem a bit childish.
Sophie Smith heard Asher Land’s footsteps leaving. She rummaged through the simple wardrobe and wrapped a towel around herself, stepping barefoot on the cold floor. Luckily, the office’s heating was strong. Otherwise, she would have frozen.
She tiptoed towards the break room door, peeking out to find the office empty. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The door was closed, so Sophie didn’t think much of it and walked out of the break room. She had seen Asher take out the clothes. Damn it, where on earth did he put them?
Surely, he didn’t take my clothes out of the office, right?
Asher’s office was spacious, but there were few places to hide things. Sophie searched behind the curtains, in front of the bookshelf, everywhere, but saw no trace of her clothes.
Suddenly, there was a noise; the door opened, and Sophie got a huge fright, holding the towel with both hands, looking utterly startled.
"Miss Smith..." The female secretary who ca to get the files from the office saw Sophie wrapped in a towel, barefoot, walking around Asher’s office. Suddenly, it seed like she understood sothing, and her gaze towards Sophie beca even more aningful.
"Oh, um..." Sophie didn’t even know where to start explaining.
"Miss Smith, make yourself at ho. I’m just here to get a file from President Land’s office. He’s in the conference room now..." The secretary finished, lowering her eyelids, a slight blush of embarrassnt spreading across her face. Sophie was utterly mortified. Heaven help her, if this secretary spread the news, what would happen then?
"Um... you won’t tell anyone, will you..." Sophie was uncertain as she approached the female secretary, speaking with an embarrassed tone.
"What?" The secretary looked up, a bit puzzled.
"Just..." Sophie took a deep breath, trying to make her face look calr, "Just about being in Asher Land’s office, you... won’t say anything, right?" She tried to word it as discreetly as possible.
"Oh, that!" The secretary looked at Sophie and raised her hand in a vow, "Miss Smith, rest assured, I won’t tell anyone a single word."
"That’s good." Sophie glanced gratefully at the secretary, then looked at her current state. Thinking for a mont, she finally gave up the idea of looking for her clothes and quickly went back to the break room, locking the door. Honestly, she was losing face because of Asher.
The secretary found the files that Asher had left on the table and turned to leave the office.
"Guess what I just saw?" The female secretary who went into Asher Land’s office earlier now had a sly expression as she spoke to the other secretaries in the departnt.
"What did you see?" soone asked.
"Our boss is hiding a beauty in a golden house; there was a woman in the office."
"No way..." The other secretaries were equally shocked, standing up in surprise, unable to close their mouths. "And she was hidden in the office? Who is it?"
"Of course, it’s Miss Smith. When I went in, she was looking for clothes. Obviously, the boss hid them. Who knew the boss was such a prankster?"
"Oh my, so the boss likes office antics? With a mansion and hotels on offer, he brought soone to the office. Really... tsk tsk." They all collectively exclaid in amazent.
