Leah looked at Ben for a moment. He didn’t seem to be bluffing.

She lifted the corner of her mouth reluctantly, “You’re joking, right? How could a designer in your

company have no office for herself? Where should I put my things if I don’t have an office?” She asked

in disbelief.

Ben’s facial expression did not change as he pointed to a seat opposite of Han’s desk, “That is your

desk, Ms White,” he simply said.

Leah tensed up as she felt Ben was somewhat pulling on her leg.

It’s impossible for a designer to share a workspace with their president!

“Where’s Han?” Leah frowned and mumbled out. She did not want to talk to Ben anymore and wanted

to get clarification from Han himself instead.

Just as she mentioned Han, the office door was once again opened and Han walked in with a long

face.

Seeing Leah, his face relaxed a little, “Looking for me?” He asked.

“Han Howard, as your designer, is it too much for me to ask for an independent office?” Leah

immediately cut to the chase.

“No, it isn’t.” Han nodded and agreed with her.

Then, he turned around and continued, “But, who told you that you were going to be our designer?”

Leah instantly had a bad feeling where the conversation was going, as if she had fallen into a trap.

“What do you mean?” She frowned in confusion and asked.

Han walked to his desk and took out a document, then placed it on the desk, “I hired a personal

assistant,” he uttered.

Leah’s heart sank upon hearing that.

He smirked at Leah’s frustrated face, “Personal assistant,” He emphasized.

Ben dared not make a noise and the office fell into silence.

After a while, Leah could not bear the silence and spoke up, “Are you joking with me, Han?”

Han replied, “You cannot go back on our agreement now.”

“I am not becoming your assistant, so go find someone else instead. I know nothing besides designing

jewelry,” Leah refuted with a straight face.

She obviously knew she could not go back on their agreement since it was signed. So the best she

could hope for was for Han to nullify their contract.

“You can still design jewelry while working as my assistant.” Despite Leah’s harsh tone, Han did not

show a hint of annoyance, but instead he looked seemingly… pleased, which Leah thought he was

crazy.

“Then I believe it’s unnecessary for me to share a workspace with Mr Howard if I should design jewelry.

A company as big as yours must have an empty space for one more office.” Leah remained displeased

and requested.

“Of course we have space. But like I said, you’re my PA now. It’s only natural for you to stay by my

side,” Han responded.

“Besides,” He suddenly turned and peeked at the only computer in the office, “I believe there’s

something else that you could work on,” he added.

“And what would that be?” Leah raised her brows and asked back.

“You saw it, right? That’s your task.” Han pointed at the computer and said.

“Animal Boom?” Leah was taken aback and looked at Han in disbelief.

“Yes.” Han nodded and had a straight face, “To be a qualified assistant, one must have great

observation skills and be highly patient. It just so happens that this game can improve your patience.”

“…” Leah’s mouth was agape.

He must’ve gone crazy.

Han could not help but smirk after seeing Leah’s shocked face.

He took a step forward and asked, “Any questions?”

“No.” Leah gritted her teeth and answered.

“Good, go to work then.” Han nodded, seemingly satisfied with her answer.

Leah glared at him and walked to her desk. She sat down and turned on the computer under his gaze

and started to play Animal Boom.

Han strode towards her while ignoring her menacing aura. He propped himself with a hand on the edge

of the table, seemingly embracing Leah in that position.

As soon as he approached, Leah could smell the faint hint of tobacco and shifted her body

uncomfortably.

Han stared at the screen for a moment. Then he lowered his head and leaned closer to her.

“Before the day ends, get to stage 50. That should be easy, right?” He asked with a poker face.

“Yes.” Leah had a disgusted look on her face as she replied.

“Alright then.” Han nodded and left the office with Ben after assigning her the task.

Leah sat in front of the computer, feeling both angry and helpless.

She was angry that Han took advantage of her again, yet she was powerless against him.

She turned to the screen and decided to vent out her anger by playing the game.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Leah easily passed all the stages instructed by Han within a

few hours.

She waited for a while to see if Han would return before she stood up and walked out of the office.

As soon as she stepped out, she coincidentally saw Han outside talking with two men.

They looked like they were discussing something serious as their faces were tense and solemn.

Han paused their discussion after noticing Leah and marched towards her.

“Where are you going?” He asked with a stern tone.

“I’m going to grab lunch now. Is lunch not allowed, Mr Howard?” Leah answered and felt taken aback

by his tone.

Han immediately sighed in relief after hearing her answer.

I thought you were leaving me again.

“Wait for me.” Han ordered and turned around to whisper something to the two men.

Once he was done, he turned back to Leah and said, “Let’s go.”

Leah cluelessly looked at him, “To where?”

“Aren’t we grabbing lunch?” Han asked like it was the obvious answer.

“I’ll eat lunch by myself.” Leah pouted.

However, Han did not give her the chance to refuse, “You’re my assistant, which means you have to

grab lunch with me. It’s an order.”

Although Leah rolled her eyes lightly, she was glad as this meant it was no need for her to pay for

lunch.

Ben, who was also Han’s assistant, heard Han’s words after coming out from the conference room.

I’m also his assistant, but why doesn’t Mr Howard ever invite me for lunch? Ben thought.

However, Han did not bring Leah out to eat, but instead brought her to the staff cafeteria.

As the largest company in the country, it was natural for their staff cafeteria to be extremely luxurious.

Their cafeteria provided a wide variety of local specialities and snacks.

Han’s sudden arrival caused a big commotion among the employees as it was rare for him to come to

the staff cafeteria.

He did want to bring Leah out for lunch, but he felt that it may be abrupt or she may have felt

uncomfortable.

“So, what do you want to eat?” Han lowered his head and asked.
