Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Pretending to be the Boyfriend "Mr. Lin, please understand, this is what President Xiao said, and it seems that President Xiao isn’t wrong either," Secretary Xu said, casting a glance at Lin Tian with a hint of a smile. It wasn’t Secretary Xu’s fault, so Lin Tian couldn’t blame her. Feeling helpless, he said, "It’s not about you. Do you also think I’m good at deceiving girls? I’m actually an honest man." "Pfft..." Secretary Xu covered her mouth and laughed, her big eyes glancing at him as she said with a chuckle, "Who talks about themselves as an honest person? You sure have thick skin." "I would feel embarrassed being told that by a beautiful woman," Lin Tian said shyly. "Hehe, you’re really interesting. Hurry up and go inside, or else President Xiao will get angry," Secretary Xu nodded and gestured for Lin Tian to enter. "Okay, thank you for showing the way, beautiful sister." Lin Tian’s remark elicited yet another attractive roll of the eyes from Secretary Xu. At that moment, Lin Tian pushed the door open, and Secretary Xu closed it behind him. Xiao Manxue’s office was spacious and bright, with one side featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the crisscrossing roads outside. According to Lin Tian’s expectation, her office should’ve been decorated with cool tones, reflecting a harsh style. But, after he looked around, the decor inside completely overturned his assumptions. The walls of the office weren’t adorned with paintings or calligraphy by famous people, but with photographs. Lin Tian looked carefully; they seemed to be photos of the frontline staff, including candid shots, work photos, and group pictures from the subsidiary companies. The people in the pictures were all smiling happily without exception, not like they were posing, but with genuine joy from their hearts. These pictures took Lin Tian by surprise; based on his understanding of Xiao Manxue, she was supposed to be a domineering female CEO type, yet the office decoration was so warm and homey. He suddenly understood Xiao Manxue a bit more; she wasn’t just the Miss of the Xiao Family, but also the boss of thousands of employees. Not only did she have to manage the family business, but she also had to provide the staff with a job that could offer them a happy life. This great responsibility rested on her delicate shoulders, forcing her to hide her softer side and become stern. "You’re here, go to the inner room and take off your clothes," Xiao Manxue, who had been immersed in work, looked up at him briefly before continuing to busily write and draw. Take off my clothes? What situation is this? Lin Tian had just started to see her in a new light, and then suddenly, the Miss threw out such a statement, conjuring a nosebleed-inducing scene in his mind. This was a bit troubling; to obey her or not? That was a question worth pondering. "Lin Tian, what are you standing there dazed for? Hurry up and get changed, I’ve prepared a suit for you, it’s in the inner room, quickly," Xiao Manxue said, frowning as she saw Lin Tian spacing out. Good heavens, it wasn’t enough to take off the clothes, and now I had to put on other clothes? Could it be some sort of special equipment? Whips? Candles? Could the Miss actually have queenly tendencies? "Oh, alright," Lin Tian walked somewhat dizzily into the rest area. The rest area had a coffee table and a large sofa with a throw blanket on it, probably for those times Xiao Manxue worked too late and had to spend the night at the office. This woman is too dedicated, it puts me, a grown man, to shame. On one end of the sofa lay a suit, a black blazer, and a white shirt, with two boxes beside them. Lin Tian opened one to find a diagonally striped tie and the other contained a belt. All items were brand new and not unwrapped. On the floor, there was a big box which clearly contained men’s leather shoes from the packaging. Lin Tian touched his nose, feeling the situation seemed a bit different from what he had imagined. Despite some confusion, he proceeded to unwrap the suit, removing all the tags. He took off his casual clothes and put on the new outfit. But then, tying the tie stumped Lin Tian. Never having used a tie before, he struggled with it for a while and still couldn’t manage to knot it. Before, on TV shows, tying a tie seemed quite simple, but when it came to doing it himself, Lin Tian was clueless. "Click..." Just then, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Manxue walked in. "Miss, I was changing clothes. Walking in without knocking, are you trying to take advantage of me?" Lin Tian protested quite displeased. But Xiao Manxue wasn’t buying it at all, she glanced at Lin Tian indifferently and said, "I thought you knew everything. How come you can’t even tie a tie properly? We’re running out of time, let me do it." The Miss didn’t allow Lin Tian to ponder any further, and quickly stepped in front of him. She took the tie and carefully started to tie it for him, although her hands were a bit clumsy, she was doing it earnestly. Gazing at Xiao Manxue’s pretty face so close by, her long eyelashes shadowing those dark eyes, and waves of her body fragrance continuously flooding his nose, Lin Tian felt a string deep inside his heart being plucked instantly. What is the sexiest and most tender side of a woman? Lin Tian had many answers before, but at that moment, there was only one in his heart, and that was the sight of Xiao Manxue bending down to tie his tie. "Miss, you are really beautiful," Lin Tian sighed sincerely. Her hands paused for a moment, and then she continued tying, a faint blush appearing on her face. "My mother taught me to tie one when I was little. Fortunately, I haven’t forgotten," After tying the tie, Xiao Manxue examined it carefully for a few moments before nodding in satisfaction. Lin Tian was already tall and handsome, and now dressed in this well-fitting suit, he looked even more manly. Even Xiao Manxue had to admit, this jerk was naturally a clothes hanger, looking good in anything. "Take this with you as well," Xiao Manxue handed him a men’s watch. Lin Tian didn’t recognize the brand of the watch but knew it was a luxury item; he’d never worn one before. A man’s watch is like a woman’s jewelry, all for decoration. After putting on the watch, he was fully decked out. He then said, "Miss, being so nice to me all of a sudden, is there something important you need doing?" Although he didn’t know how much this getup cost, intuition told him that he couldn’t afford this watch even with a year’s salary. "We’re going to meet clients!" Xiao Manxue looked at him with a half-smile. "What? You want me to meet clients!" Lin Tian jumped in shock, no wonder this woman had dressed him up so handsomely today; she planned to sell his looks. The Miss’s face turned bright red from Lin Tian’s reaction, not knowing what filthy things were on that bastard’s mind to dare suspect she was going to make him do that sort of thing! "Lin Tian, what’s with that look? Your thoughts are too dirty. I want you to accompany me to meet two important clients. What were you thinking about?" Xiao Manxue glared at him fiercely. "Oh, you should have said so earlier. You scared me. But, I’m just a bodyguard. What do you want me to do there?" Lin Tian couldn’t figure it out; he was clueless about business matters, wondering what he could possibly do there. This time it was Xiao Manxue’s turn to feel awkward. She hesitated for a long time before finally saying haltingly, "You are to pretend to be my... my boyfriend." Follow current novels on fre(e)webnovel
