Sweet Love

Chapter 27: Some Things That Don't Have to Be Done at Home

After Yusef almost finishes cleaning up the wound, he looks up and throws the cotton swab into the

trash can, "Why are you staring at me?"

Macy regains her consciousness but fails to answer this question. Biting her lip, she chooses to keep

silence.

Yusef says jokingly, "The man you just saw is Rayburn Fackler, our vice president. He said you were

too stupid and asked me to fire you. What do you think?"

For a moment Macy feels depressed. Looking at the faint smile on his face, she couldn't figure out his

real idea.

Anyway, when it comes to Rayburn, she actually heard about him before. He is a capable man who

accompanied Yusef’s father to establish this company and is at the same level as Eliot. His prestige,

power and ability cannot to be underestimated. Besides, it is said that Rayburn is really career

minded…

Yusef realizes Macy doesn’t answer his question and seems to be thinking about something else. He

stretches out his hand, and as his upper body turns over, he directly presses Macy on the sofa.

Macy comes fully awake, catches the man's gaze, and takes a deep breath, "I cannot decide it. Isn't

the power to make decision in the hands of Mr. Penn?"

Yusef chuckles, seeming to be amused by her serious compliment. His hands deliberately pinch her

waist, and his chin gets close to her ear, "How can I be willing to replace, considering you would rather

spill the hot coffee on yourself than on me?"

Macy gets a strange feeling around her ears, which is like an electric current extending to her all of

limbs. Her breathing suddenly becomes quick.

Yusef feels the changes of her body, but still presses closer, rubs his chin running against her cheek.

Macy blushes, takes a deep breath, and reminds him softly, "Mr. Penn, now we are in the company..."

Smiling, he keeps teasing her deliberately, "You know there are some things that don’t have to be done

at home."

Macy trembles, and her whole body becomes hot. She immediately pushes Yusef, gets up from the

sofa, and takes two steps back to conceal her embarrassment, "Mr. Penn, I need to report something.

The plan that this afternoon meeting Mr. Chan, the president of the City Marea Commercial

Development Bank, has changed. You may have to wait until tomorrow. For this afternoon, we could

arrange a meeting with the manager of Windix or Flourever.”

When it comes to work, Yusef suddenly turns solemn. He hesitates for a moment and says " Windix

and Flourever can be postponed. I have other things to do this afternoon. Just arrange a driver for me."

"Okay." She looks at Yusef tentatively. Seeing that he keeps silence, she says, "If there is nothing else,

I'll get back to work."

Just then someone knocks on the door, which is Yusef's subordinate coming to report the work. At the

same time, Macy quickly leave the president's office.

When Macy walks out, she finds Yolanda standing not far from the office. As soon as they catch each

other’s eyes, Yolanda walks towards her.

"It’s said that you spilled the coffee? Geez, why is your face so red? You get scolded?" Yolanda asks

several questions in succession, her eyes filling with pride and curiosity.

Macy raises the hand to touch her cheek, and answers casually, "Yup."

Because of Macy's current appearance, Yolanda does believe that Yusef just scolded her, and

becomes even more proud, "So stupid. I really don't understand why Mr. Penn would let you be his

secretary!"

Macy looks at Yolanda, softly replying, "Mr. Rayburn is very strict, and he just said that Mr. Penn should

replace my position..."

The corners of Yolanda’s mouth are almost reaching her ears, "Well, Mr. Rayburn is always known to

be harsh, and if you make mistakes in front of him, you won't have a second chance!"

Macy smiles and continues to ask, "I accompanied Mr. Penn to attend a high-level meeting yesterday,

why didn't I see Mr. Rayburn?"

"He went to Germany to handle a project since he didn’t get the South Sea project three months ago.

To redeem himself, Mr. Rayburn asked for a technical investigation project for a one-month outing. He

just come back today."

Yolanda says a lot unwittingly, but reacts right away, and gives Macy a glance, "Why do I tell you so

much! You cannot understand. Don't think that you will be fine after Mr. Penn has rebuked you, and

please remember to dry-clean the dirty carpet. By the way, the floor of the president's office is import. I

don’t think you are able to compensate for it if it is broken.”

Macy is not mad at all, “Sure, I will send it to the laundry as soon as possible.”

After returning to her office, Macy has time to calm down and think about what Yusef said to Rayburn in

the office just now.

Rayburn just returned to China and might be still suffering from jet lag, but he chose to go to the

company immediately... Also, Yusef said that he was going to South Sea City for business this

weekend, letting Rayburn take a rest and just leaving Eliot in the company...

The more Macy thinks about it, the more complicated it becomes. How many interest entanglements

are there on the surface of a harmonious relationship? She couldn't think through it now, but vaguely

feels that Rayburn is definitely more complex than he looks.

...

In the afternoon, Yusef is not in the company. Several documents are delivered directly to Macy,

including an urgent document which need to be dealt with today. Macy calls Yusef and sends him the

electronic version. After getting his confirmation, she dares to take his private seal.

The documents are approved. Due to the emergency, Macy sends it to the Finance Department in

person. As soon as she walks out of the elevator, she sees a familiar face oncoming.

It is Sue Caine. Even though she is wearing big sunglasses, the face is too familiar since it appears on

several billboards on the street. How could Macy not recognize it?

Macy frowns slightly, pretending to walk over directly, but Sue Caine keeps staring at her.

At first, Sue thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, but after she comes closer, she realizes this

girl is really Macy.

Macy is working at the Penn’s?

Last time because she added something in Macy’s wine, Eliot did tick her off at home. Sue still holds a

grudge in her mind, while she doesn’t expect to meet Macy in the Penn’s today.

This bitch, under the banner of Eliot's ex-girlfriend, frequently appears in Eliot's life. Sue feels quite

displeased.

Sue sees that Macy is about to ignore her. Without thinking twice, she blocks her way.

"Miss Macy, long time no see!"

Sue squeezes out a smile, while the eyes behind the sunglasses are full of coldness.

Realizing she can’t hide, Macy looks at her and shakes the file in her hand, "Sorry, I have to work."

"Cool, Miss Macy’s identity changes very quickly! A few days ago, you are still the honorable eldest of

the Downey’s, but suddenly you become a small employee of the Penn’s now. It seems that you really

enjoy a colorful life. "

Macy knows that Sue is going to talk nonsense with her. She takes a deep breath, with a decent smile

on her face, "Excuse me, I am very busy today."

She tries to step away from Sue.

"Miss Macy!" Sue raises her voice, “Nowadays your life is pretty well, but do you know what happens to

your father in prison?”
