The President's Sweetheart Secretary - Chapter 18 - Three Times the Embarrassment

Liang Tongheng “…”

Li Yi’s stern face darkened slightly. He knew this woman, even if she turned to ashes, he’d recognize her-just a foolish woman. Perhaps her appearance was too unremarkable, prompting Li Yi to speak up, “Could you close your mouth, please?”

Yi Huahuan was so shocked that her brain had momentarily shut down. She never imagined she’d encounter the president in the elevator. The president was like a breath of fresh spring air.

Li Yi’s voice snapped Yi Huahuan out of her daydream. Seeing his face darken, she quickly closed her mouth, letting out a string of awkward laughs, “Haha, sorry, I just didn’t expect to run into the president here. You go ahead; I’ll wait for the next one.”

Yi Huahuan meant she was waiting for Lin Haimian to come down with her.

Unfortunately, Li Yi misunderstood, thinking she was waiting for another elevator. Raising an eyebrow, he felt like strangling this woman, “Get in already. How long do you want us to wait?”

Yi Huahuan opened her mouth, then obediently stepped inside, facing the door and keeping her head down, not daring to make a sound.

Liang Tongheng was more surprised by Li Yi’s attitude than by the gaping mouth he saw when the elevator doors opened. Did they have a grudge?

Li Yi simply couldn’t stand Yi Huahuan’s foolishness.

The three descended in silence. Once they reached the first floor, Yi Huahuan awkwardly greeted them and hurried away. Li Yi calmly pressed the elevator button, continuing down to the parking lot.

“Do you have a grudge?” Liang Tongheng was genuinely curious about why his usually good-natured assistant was being so harsh.

Li Yi shook his head, “Nothing at all.”

Liang Tongheng raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.

Lin Haimian discreetly picked up her small bag, using her larger bag to shield it, worried someone might notice. Little did she realize how much she resembled a thief at that moment.

Safely outside the company doors, Lin Haimian relaxed, carrying her bags and skipping over to Yi Huahuan.

But she found Yi Huahuan lost in thought.

“Huahuan? What’s wrong? Did you fall asleep standing?” Lin Haimian worriedly poked Yi Huahuan’s arm, afraid she’d collapse if she poked too hard.

Yi Huahuan snapped back to reality, seeing Lin Haimian’s concerned face, she almost choked up, “Oh, I made a fool of myself!”

Lin Haimian scoffed, thinking it was nothing serious, slung her bag over her arm, and pulled Yi Huahuan toward the bus stop, “You embarrass yourself all the time, nothing new.”

Yi Huahuan’s mood was strong enough to ignore Lin Haimian’s teasing, “The problem is, I usually embarrass myself in front of you. This time, the audience was different!”

Lin Haimian casually named someone, “Don’t tell me you embarrassed yourself in front of the president?”

As soon as Lin Haimian finished speaking, the footsteps behind them stopped. She turned around to see what was going on and found Yi Huahuan looking as if she’d seen a ghost.

Lin Haimian’s heart skipped a beat, her mouth opened several times before she finally found her voice, “No way, did I really guess right?”

Yi Huahuan nodded miserably, unable to speak.

Lin Haimian’s mouth twitched, she thought for a moment and realized what had happened, feeling quite helpless, “We’re really good friends, embarrassing ourselves together.”

Yi Huahuan deflated, “I think it gets worse.”

Lin Haimian stepped back in horror, “Oh no, it gets worse! Did you throw yourself at him?”

Yi Huahuan was speechless, could she stop joking at a time like this? “No, I wouldn’t dare throw myself at him, even using your heels to think!”

Wait, was she insulting her? Lin Haimian weakly thought, “Then what happened?”

Yi Huahuan covered her face, her voice muffled, “The president’s assistant was in the elevator too. I embarrassed myself twice in front of the same person in one day, isn’t that bad enough?”

Lin Haimian was at a loss for words, pondering for a long time before squeezing out, “My condolences.”

Yi Huahuan burst into tears, prompting Lin Haimian to quickly cover her face, “Don’t cry, or you’ll embarrass yourself a third time.”

Yi Huahuan turned around instinctively, and there it was, her third embarrassment. The president’s assistant’s car slid past her, and Yi Huahuan felt like dying.

Lin Haimian’s face twisted from holding back laughter, but she couldn’t help it and burst into hysterical laughter, tears streaming down her face. Yi Huahuan ignored Lin Haimian, angrily heading to the bus stop to sulk.

Lin Haimian laughed until her legs were weak, realizing she was being too much, she quickly gathered her things and went to comfort Yi Huahuan. Neither of them noticed Liang Tongheng’s car driving by.

Liang Tongheng was drawn by Lin Haimian’s infectious laughter, and his sharp eyes spotted the bag she was carrying-the same bag the scruffy woman had during their second encounter.

Unfortunately, he was driving, otherwise, he could have stopped to catch this elusive scruffy woman. Watching yet another opportunity slip away, Liang Tongheng felt his teeth ache.

Since Yi Huahuan was sulking, the two boarded the bus one after the other, seemingly unrelated, and Liang Tongheng missed the connection, allowing Lin Haimian to escape once more.
