If Lin Qiaoyi had known this morning she'd be pouring scalding hot coffee on the most feared CEO in the city , she might've chosen to stay in bed .But fate had other plans .
She had just started her internship at Mo group - a glittering skyscraper of cold glass , steel ambition and people who never smiled .
Lin Qiaoyi first day of work began with only two thoughts, that is to keep her head down and not to spill anything.
But the moment she stepped onto the executive floor with a tray of coffee , her worn out sneakers caught the edge of a thick carpet.The tray wobbled . The mug flew . And with a horrifying accuracy , hot americano splashed right onto the chest of the man standing by the window.
Splat .
Time froze .
The man turned around slowly . His expression ? Cold enough to freeze the coffee midair. Lin Qiaoyi brain promptly short - circuited . "Oh my God ", she gasped eyes wide behind her thick glasses . "I killed your shirt ." There was a long terrible silence .
Mo zixuan looked down at his chest.Then back up at the woman in front of him .She looked like a misplaced librarian who'd wandered into a boardroom . "You ." he said , his voice was low and glacial . "Name ."
"Lin Qiaoyi " she squeaked . "
His brow arched . " From which department ?"
Logistics. But I also know first aid ! Should I check your burns ? I can blow on them .
Mo Zixuan mouth twitched . Just barely.
He looked too polished to be in this awkward scene - tall and crisp in his ruined suit , with dark eyes that missed nothing. And she looked like a badly dressed panda .
"Do you know what you've just done " he asked.
"I ruined your suit " she mumbled.
"That's a thirty thousand -yuan custom -made Brioni ", he said coldly.
She blinked .
Then whispered "...you paid thirty thousand -yaun for that colour ." A pin drop silence fell. The room held its breath . Lu feng , Mo Zixuan assistant who had just walked in , immediately did a U - turn and walked right back out .
For a moment Mo zixuan wondered if he was being pranked . The intern looked terrified but her eyes sparkled with something that didn't quite match her expression.He narrowed his eyes . "Clean this up ," he ordered, stepping away . " Then report to my office in fifteen minutes ."
"But I have coffee duty -"
" Now you have apology duty. "
And just like that , he turned and left , shoulders squared , the back of his shirt slowly soaking from the coffee stain .
Lin Qiaoyi let out a sigh .
"Well that escalated quickly."
