Han Muzi’s hand could even feel the chill of the man’s voice coming from the phone, but the familiarity of it still sent shivers down her body. Just as and when she struggled on methods to get closer to Ye Moxuan in an attempt to trigger the return of his memory sooner, he came to her instead.
A sly smile swept underneath the eyes of Han Muzi as she replied to him, “I got it. I will send it over right now.”
The man didn’t suspect anything so he ended the call.
Despite feeling tired and sore on her legs, Han Muzi suddenly became lively as she happily sat back at the sofa to put on her shoes. Without another thought, she went over to the pantry room. As she made the coffee, her mood became even better and her steps were swift.
She understood Ye Moxuan’s temperament clearly because she had been his assistant five years ago. Back then, she was always the one who prepared his coffee. Even though he tried to embarrass her before, he gradually stopped making her life difficult with these trivial matters. That was why she knew his taste very well. Soon after, she was done with the coffee, and she walked out of the secretary room.
It was now lunch hour, so this floor was quiet and there weren’t any people around, not even Miss Lin. Han Muzi walked forward in the corridor while holding the coffee. She heard before that the President’s office was located in the innermost part of this floor; hence she only needed to walk ahead. Finally, she reached the door to the President’s office.
Suddenly, her heart raced without a warning. Han Muzi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Han Muzi, what are you nervous for? You are just sending a cup of coffee to him. Have you forgotten what you used to do often back then? Don’t be nervous. She suppressed her anxiety before knocking the door.
“Come in.” A voice devoid of any temperature came from the inside. Although it was hollow, it still drilled deep into Han Muzi’s heart. Then, she opened the door and entered with the coffee.
As she entered, she gave the decor inside the office a thorough look. The traces of renovation showed that the place was just redesigned thoroughly. Even though he lost his memories, the style of his designs and his personality still hadn’t changed one bit. The designs were mainly in cool colors, which gave the office a cold and stern aura.
The office desk and the floor was spotless and it showed that its owner was obsessed with cleanliness. Sigh, he is still the same Ye Moxuan. My Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi secretly smiled while handing the coffee over to his hand. “President, your coffee.” As she bent her waist to send the coffee close to him, her ponytail at the back of her head unconsciously leaned against her arm while letting out a fragrant scent.
When she came in, Ye Moxuan didn’t even raise his head since he was busy with his work. At that moment, a fragrant scent of a woman started to linger around him and he finally realized something was wrong.
Afterward, he frowned while raising his eyes. Just as and when Han Muzi bent her waist to hand over the coffee, Ye Moxuan raised his head and Han Muzi’s delicate face appeared right in his sight. At the same time, Han Muzi also lifted her head and both of their eyes met.
The distance between them was rather close as Han Muzi stared blankly at him and was unable to look away. She wasn’t some lovesick lady, but the feeling that she regained something after losing it really made her want to look at him a few more times—even if it was just once!
“Are you done looking?” The sharp voice growled without warning. Han Muzi saw Ye Moxuan’s thin lips opening gently while his eyes were filled with mockery toward her.
She regained her composure and took a few steps back before shaking her head. “I’m sorry.”
Ye Moxuan chuckled while his eyes were filled with disdain as if he had already figured her out. “You really are good with your artifice,” he sneered.
He was surprised to find out that she was the one who stood out from the crowd during the interview and got the position as the secretary’s assistant. Most importantly, this secretary of his was once Yuchi Jin’s secretary and it was hard for anyone to please her. Yet, this strange woman in front of him actually passed it just like that. It makes sense now. She has already used her artifice on me to make me remember her, never mind on other people.
Artifice? Han Muzi blinked her beautiful eyes while wondering what Ye Moxuan mentioned about. Is he talking about the way I used to get in the company?
As she thought about it, Ye Moxuan lifted his hand to send the coffee to his lips and he took an elegant sip. In the next second, he was speechless as the thick aroma of the coffee burst on the tip of his tongue and filled his mouth. This feeling…
Ye Moxuan squinted at Han Muzi with suspicion. “Did you make this coffee?”
His voice dragged Han Muzi back to reality, so she nodded instinctively. “Yes.” Then, she asked nervously, “Is there any problem with it?”
Seeing him looking at her suspiciously while frowning, it seemed as though he was dissatisfied with her. After that, Han Muzi doubted herself on whether she had brewed the coffee properly. Perhaps she added some sugar because she was carried away by her excitement earlier. It doesn’t add up though. I was very careful with it.
Therefore, Han Muzi carefully gave Ye Moxuan a thorough look before she asked him softly, “Is the coffee bad?”
Ye Moxuan ignored her, but he saw the complexity in her eyes. Then, his lips twitched. “Get out.”
Han Muzi was confused. She wanted to tell him that he hadn’t commented on whether the coffee was good or not and it really was awkward for her to walk out without him telling her anything. Nonetheless, she didn’t dare to say much after facing his cold eyes, so she only nodded before exiting the office.
As soon as she was gone, Ye Moxuan lifted the coffee and took another sip. He kept on drinking it, one sip at a time until the whole cup was empty. Then, he stopped and stared blankly at the bits of residue from the coffee. He never expected that the coffee made by this strange woman matched his taste perfectly, as though it was custom made for him.
Ye Moxuan instinctively licked his lips before placing the cup aside.
…
When Han Muzi returned to the secretary room, she became distressed. I don’t know what Ye Moxuan is thinking now. Why did he show me that expression and let me go after drinking the coffee? Did I make the coffee properly?
Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but get up and head to the pantry room, whereupon she remade another cup of coffee. Then, she tasted it for herself and realized that there was nothing wrong with it. Isn’t this the taste that Ye Moxuan prefers? Does a person’s taste change when he loses his memory?
However, what worried her the most was that she might have made a mistake during the process before. If there is a next time, I must test the coffee first before sending it to him. At this point, Han Muzi made up her mind before going to the secretary room with the coffee.
Soon after, it was time to get back to work. When Miss Lin came into the secretary room, she received a call from the office telling her to send a cup of coffee to the President’s office. She put down the phone and ordered Han Muzi straight away, “Muzi, please make a cup of coffee and send it to me.”
“Alright.” Han Muzi nodded before going to the pantry room. This time, she had learned her lesson, so she secretly took a sip herself to make sure that it was fine. Then, she brought it to Miss Lin.
