As though a near death person who had just been saved, the little assistant looked ecstatic though he dared not let any of that show. He tried to keep his emotions under control as he said in a tentative manner, “Well, Sister Ana seems to also had found out that the little screenwriter has a boyfriend as well…”
“And how did she find that out?”
“Uh, well, I, I guess she heard that along with the rumors in the production team… …” said the little assistant as he lowered his heart with a guilty conscience.
Luo Xiu looked outside of the window. His voice ever so nonchalant and languid. “So she didn’t hear it from you then.”
The little assistant, “… …”
Sure enough. Why would he think that he could keep anything from the king of demons?
“Boss, trust me. I didn’t have a choice. Sister Ana was very explicit that I must spare her no details if it has to do with you before we came here… Take this incident for example. I had given her a heads up previously already, which was why I was only lectured for 20 minutes. Had I not have done that, it would most likely be 20 hours.”
As the little assistant talked, he looked up and studied the look on Luo Xiu.
Luckily, Luo Xiu seemed to be in a good mood and not let that bother him too much.
The little assistant let out a sigh of relief.
Luo Xiu turned around and gave him a tender smile. “Did you also ask you to take any unnecessary actions?”
The little assistant was startled and shook his head immediately. “Of course not. Why would she? We would never dare to meddle in anything against your wish.”
“In this case, I should find an opportunity to go and thank her then.”
“No, no. You are the boss. It is our job to follow your orders.”
“… …”
After the little assistant was down brown nosing, his eyes darting around as though he was debating about something else.
After he started and stopped three to five times, Luo Xiu said without even looking up, “Just say it.”
“Oh? Em, um, it’s, it’s nothing serious. We would just like to get an idea from you. This is Sister’s Ana’s idea as well. She said we should get down to the bottom of it. That way they can be prepared.”
“You know… matters that had to do with that little screenwriter.”
“Does she not have a name?”
“Huh?”
Luo Xiu looked up slightly and asked with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “She has no name? Is that why you always refer to her as ‘the little screenwriter’?”
The little assistant, “… …”
QwQ. Alright, so he had stepped on his boss’s toes again.
The two of them were not even in a relationship and he was already protective of her. What would it be like should they get together for real?
The little assistant, naturally, only dared to grumble to himself but not say it out loud. He lowered his head as though he had been wronged. “I’m sorry, Brother Luo. I have misspoken. I mean matters that concerned Screenwriter Gu.”
“What matters are we speaking of?”
“Em, Sister Ana wants me to ask you your thought on it. Did you really want to be, um, … “
The little assistant dared not say it out loud. Instead, he held up three fingers.
Looking at his hand, Luo Xiu smiled. “I am surely quite immoral in your eyes.”
“No, no, of course not. We are just preparing for the worst.” The little assistant shook his head frantically but also seemingly feeling relieved. “That’s what I told Sister Ana. Our Brother Luo has status and ability and your body and look would be top notch if you are a model – why would you want to be a third person in a relationship, right?”
“Mmm.”
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at the brown covered notebook. His five long and slender fingers drummed up and down on its cover rhythmically, each of them drumming out one note.
Then he looked up and smiled nonchalantly.
“I’ll wait very, very patiently for her to break up.”
The little assistant was taken aback a little and asked reflexively, “What if she doesn’t break up with the other guy?”
