“You’re right, Mister Aaron. My uncle would do what you said, but I don’t want to live under his protection forever. I want to learn how to be independent,” explained Annie.

Aaron was quite impressed by her attitude. “Huh, not bad. Was your colleague flirting with you just now?”

The sudden change of topic shocked Annie. “No. He was asking me for help with his document. His stapler was broken, you see.”

Aaron obviously did not believe her. “He’s quite the catch. He graduated from a famous university. Good-looking. Tall. You can consider him since our company has no policy against office romance.”

After a moment of awkward silence, Aaron smiled and said, “Well, time for you to get back to work now. If anyone comes to find me, tell me I’m at Xante’s office.”

“Yes, Mister Aaron.”
