Chapter 29 Massage My Shoulder Please


    Samuel nodded and turned to E with a serious face. "Are you implying that you do not wish to stay


    by my side?" Hepletely ignored Eason''s presence. Samuel''s gaze was intense and his voice


    soothing.


    On hearing his change of tone, E was timid instantly. Her face went red and she murmured: "Of


    course not." She wanted nothing but to stay with Samuel all the time. But she was also concerned she


    would slow him down during work.


    "Fair enough, you can stay here for now. No need to go downstairs anymore." Samuel stood up with


    the file in his hand. He walked over to his desk and pressed a button. "Anna, pleasee in." His


    voice was cool and steady, not like the way he addressed E just now. It sounded very formal - exactly


    how a boss should be while speaking to his subordinates.


    Within 30 seconds, someone knocked on the office door and Anna walked in.


    She saw the three of them sitting on the couch and raised a smile: "Mr. Shao."


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Eason had met Anna many times before. He whistled at her casually, not much of a gentleman''s move.


    E looked at her bother in shock. ''What is wrong with him? Is he trying to flirt with the beautifuldy?''


    Anna, however,pletely ignored Eason. She stood there gracefully and looked at Samuel, waiting


    for his orders.


    Samuel could not care less about Eason''s behavior. Six years ago, when Eason saw Anna for the first


    time, he behaved like this. Nothing had changed ever since.


    "Please return the file to Ms. Gu and inform her that my wife now works on Floor 68. Thank her for


    taking care of my wife before."


    Anna cast a nce in E''s direction and felt happy for her. She took over the file and replied: "Yes, Mr.


    Shao."


    "Thank you. That''s all for now." Samuelid his hand on the back of E''s couch. Hearing Samuel''s


    remarks, Eason noticed that the two were very intimate.


    Eason was very relieved to see that his sister was happy in the marriage. In a good mood, he turned to


    Anna and said: "Beautiful Anna, how about a candle-lit dinner with me tonight?"


    Anna did not cast a look at him,pletely ignoring him. She politely bid Samuel goodbye. "Mr. Shao, I


    will be on my way."


    Anna walked out, but somehow Eason stood up immediately and followed her out.


    E looked at the back of her brother and was utterly shocked. She knew it very well that her brother


    was kind of a yboy. But this was the first time she witnessed him chasing after a girl.


    Annapletely ignored him and yet he had the guts to chase after her like that... Was Eason in love


    with Anna?''


    "What''s on your mind?" The office was now quiet as they were the only ones left. Samuel found E''s


    shocked face quite amusing. He leaned over and asked her.


    His handsome face was so close to her that E was startled. She replied honestly: "I am thinking


    about my brother and Anna."


    Samuel was wondering since when E began to care about Anna. Were they already friends?


    Anna was a workaholic. She wasn''t very social. Work was everything to her. He had her working for


    him as an assistant for six years. He never saw her hanging out with any friends.


    Anna was smiling at E just now and they seemed to be on very good terms. Samuel came to the


    conclusion that the two were very friendly to each other.


    "Your brother should really behave now. He shouldn''t be acting like a yboy all the time." Eason


    should follow Samuel''s example. Marry a wife, have a child and start up a family. How nice it would be.


    E could not agree with Samuel more. She nodded and said: "I would be very happy if Anna could


    end up being my sister-inw." "If only my brother could behave himself."


    Anna as their sister-inw? His six-year-long assistant might end up being his sister-inw. Samuel


    found this thought very weird.


    "It depends on them." If Eason could somehow settle down, it would surely be nice.


    E nodded in agreement. The office went quiet. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.


    E''s heart beat was fast. She stood up from the couch and said: "Samuel, what can I do for you?" Her


    voice was soft.


    Her body scent smelled like Jasmine. She pulled herself away from him and this made Samuel a little


    bit sad.


    He stood up from the couch as well, reached out for her hand and walked her towards the desk. As he


    sat down on his chair, he asked her: "Massage my shoulders please."


    "Massage your shoulders?" E paused.


    Samuel raised his eyebrows and checked her reaction. He smiled and nodded: "Give me a gentle


    massage, and then we talk about work." His work was tooplicated for her anyway. She would


    contribute more harm than good.


    He would hand easier projects over to her. He would not rush into it.


    "Well!" E''s face was reddish. Sheid her hands on his shoulders and started to massage him


    clumsily.


    She had no clue what she was doing and why, all of a sudden, Samuel asked her to do this.


    "Not much strength here. Harder." Samuel gave her orders while turning on hisputer to prepare for


    his case in court tomorrow.


    E set her teeth and really put an effort in massaging his shoulders. Howe he did not feel pain at


    all?


    On Floor 23.


    Eason badgered Anna for a while until Anna finally gave up and agreed to have dinner with him.


    She took a deep breath and restored her professional posture.


    She took the file assigned to E and delivered it to Catherine''s office. She put it on her table and said:


    "Ms. Gu, Mr. Shao asked me to convey his decision that Mrs. Shao will now work on Floor 68. He


    thanks you for taking care of Mrs. Shao these days."


    Her in tone was quite distant and official.


    Catherine furrowed her eyebrows when she learned E now worked on Floor 68. She asked: "How


    Anna smiled and replied: "I am not sure whether E mentioned anything to Mr. Shao or not. However I


    do know, if you didn''t do anything wrong, E would have nothing to mention to Mr. Shao." What Anna


    was implying here was that E''s testimony wouldn''te out of thin air.


    If Catherine did something unfair, it was obvious E would mention it to Mr. Shao.


    Anna had full faith in E, as she believed her to be a generous and kinddy.


    The truth was that E was so goofy that she probably never mentioned Catherine''s name in front of


    Samuel.


    Anna did what Samuel told her to do and walked to E''s seat. She quickly tidied up E''s stuff and


    went back to Floor 68.


    She intended to return the stuff to E. But when she knocked on the door, she heard Samuel''s voice


    from inside. "Come backter." His voice was very strange.


    ... Anna was a mature woman and she somehow had a vague idea what was going on there.


    Her face was reddish as she returned to her seat. She put E''s stuff aside, as of course, E was now


    "busy".


    In the Venice Hotel.


    Emma hung up the call from a private detective and coldly stared at the woman sitting on the opposite


    couch.


    ine Zhao did not look her age at all. Although she was almost 50, her face showed no wrinkles due


    to heavy make-up. She gazed at her finger tips and appreciated her newly-manicured nails. Then she


    scornfully opened her mouth: "You don''t have money for me, but you do have money for private


    detectives!"


    Emma found it quite hard to ept the fact that ine was her mother.


    Every time ine came to her, she was asking for money and threatening her with the concept of


    "blood is thicker than water".


    "Mrs. Zhao, could you just leave me alone? I am quite upset now, don''t you understand?" Emma


    anxiously threw her phone on the bed and then sat down on the couch.
