As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a colleague.

Their eyes met, and the colleague exclaimed, "Good morning, Mrs. Pei!"

Mingyao was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. "You don't need to call me Madam Pei."

"I'm still the company's receptionist, you can just call me by my name."

She didn't want to receive special treatment from her colleagues just because she was Pei Siyu's wife.

The colleague nodded nervously, "Mrs. Pei... Miss Su, you're too kind."

Today at work was definitely different from before. Her colleagues were all looking at her with astonishment, as if she were some kind of monster.

Being the center of attention is not a pleasant experience.

Even Manager Zhang changed his serious attitude today, showing concern for Mingyao and even wanting to ask Su Xueya for a few more days off.

"Manager Zhang, if you take leave, our company will be without a receptionist."

"Hehe, no, there will be a new receptionist in a couple of days."

Mingyao nodded. She was quite looking forward to the new receptionist, so she wouldn't be lonely at her workstation.

During her lunch break, her colleagues, all smiles, offered to buy her lunch.

Mingyao repeatedly emphasized that she shouldn't take herself too seriously, but her colleagues seemed not to hear her and kept asking her how she was doing.

To avoid her colleagues, Mingyao hid in the bathroom.

Mingyao stayed in the bathroom for a full half hour before she came out.

"Miss Su."

The sudden sound from beside her startled Mingyao. She looked around in alarm and realized it was Lin Shu.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, still shaken, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Shu looked at Ming Yao, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She finally mustered her courage and said softly, "Miss Su, I have something I want to say to you. May I speak to you in private?"
