"Master Xian!"

Shui Xian looked at his assistant, Ma Jin who just entered his office.

"All the directors and the department heads are waiting for you in the conference room."

Shui Xian stood up and said, "Then let's go."

Ma Jin sneaked a peak at his boss before he continued to just follow him obediently. It couldn't be helped. He had been following Shui Xian since the beginning so he was the first one to notice the obvious changes in Shui Xian as well. He was certain that even if Shui Xian didn't show it, he was actually really happy these days and he was certainly a lot more easygoing than before.

He'd even ignore small mistakes made by the employees. And he actually seemed approachable now. That's a change Ma Jin never thought he'd see.

Just as Shui Xian pushed open the door of the conference room, it quietened down. No one dared to put on a mask of hypocrisy to compliment each other. Now, all of them straightened up.

*BZzzzz...*

Shui Xian felt his phone vibration in his pants pocket and rummaged it out. Seeing the caller id, his gaze softened visibly and he said, "I'll be right back." Saying that he was about to walk out of the conference room as he answered the phone and was about to place it against his ear. However, just as his one foot stepped out of the conference room, he bumped into someone and the phone in his hand dropped.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath at the sight of that.

But suddenly, a charming voice rang out...

"Hubby, did you see a blue file in our room?"

The voice was coming from Shui Xian's phone that dropped on the floor while Shui Xian was looking at the girl who bumped into him. The young woman was a new intern and she was scared silly when she realized whom she had bumped into. But when she heard that voice from Shui Xian's phone, she looked horrified.

But the people inside the conference room weren't any different. They all wore strange expressions right now.

"Hubby?" Raelle's voice called out again since she didn't hear any reply from Shui Xian. "Husband? You there? Xian?"

Shui Xian immediately picked up the phone from the floor but even during that time, Raelle had called out to him again and again. He looked helpless and he turned off the speaker and placed his phone against his ear saying, "I'm here. Just give me a minute."

"Okay," replied Raelle.

Shui Xian looked at the young intern who hurriedly bowed her head, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Sir! I didn't mean to."

Shui Xian obviously didn't think she did it on purpose but he was bothered by how she looked at him as he was a devil and was about to eat her up. He wasn't that scary. At least, he didn't think he was. In fact, his wife loved to call him handsome all the time. How could he be scary?

Considering how his wife was still on the call, he didn't want to delay and waved his hand off, "It's alright. Just pay attention next time."

"Yes," said the young intern in disbelief while Shui Xian walked away.

Ma Jin, who was left behind, was currently sporting a small smile on his face. He was actually amused by the way everyone reacted. And his earlier conjectures were proven true just now. If it was before, Shui Xian might not have let that intern go that easily but now, he just did. This action was so unlike him.

"Say, so it's true that Master Xian and Vice President Ruan are together?" commented something inside the conference room.

"But that didn't sound like Vice President Ruan's voice," added another female department head. "Vice President Ruan's voice is on the sweeter side. This voice was domineering. I don't think that's her."

Ma Jin gave the Finance Department Head a thumbs up mentally as he nodded to himself. How could President Raelle's voice not sound domineering? She had the inherent arrogance of someone who ruled a business empire like a Queen!

It had to be said that if Ma Jin had been a bit skeptical about Raelle and Xian's relationship, now, he was a die-hard fan of Raelle. Even though he only met Raelle a couple of times in person, he really admired her.

The changes she brought in Shui Xian's life with her presence were enough for Ma Jin to look at her differently. And adding on her status of being the Queen of a business empire, how could he not be impressed?

"If it wasn't Vice President Ruan, then who was it?" questioned someone. "She even called Master Xian as a husband! Do you think Master Xian is married?"

Ma Jin could only sigh at the way even these old fogey directors were now fishing for gossip.

"I don't think he married," added another one. "We would have known if he did. You must know that this young generation loves calling each other strange nicknames. It's nothing surprising anymore."

"Director is right," others agreed with him.

Someone turned to look at Ma Jin and questioned, "Assistant Ma, you're always close to Master Xian. You must know about this."

Ma Jin was startled at being dragged into this. He had no wish to gossip here! But he still professionally answered, "As an assistant, my job is to manage Master Xian's work. His personal life has nothing to do with me."

"Aiyo, our Assistant Ma is really loyal," commented someone strangely.

Ma Jin mentally shook his head. He could understand their curiosity but it had nothing to do with him. Besides, since Shui Xian and Raelle were already married, he didn't think this relationship would be a secret for long. Until then, these people could just deal with it.

And in all honesty, a part of him was waiting for them all to learn about Raelle and Shui Xian. He wanted them all to feel the same mental explosion that he went through. It took him so long to recover himself.. So, he was waiting evilly for their reaction.
