My Female Boss Told Me to Wait for Her After Work

The author's other novel, The Actress's Improper Scene, is currently serializing!

Why should I?

You expect me to wait just because you say so?

Once work is over, that's my personal time. I can leave whenever I want. What are you going to do about it?

He Qianlian walked away without looking back.

She never expected her obsessive female boss to show up at her door moments later.

"How did you know where I live...?"

"Mmm..."

Gasp!

The next day at work, the female boss showed up at the office in the clothes she'd worn the night before, for the first time ever without makeup.

Everyone's jaws dropped. The gossip group chats were full of messages: "Is it official?"

Only He Qianlian was like a cat that had gotten a taste of meat, licking her lips in a hidden corner, her eyes full of triumph.

(The above is all just for fun.)

The serious synopsis:

Cool, obsessive older woman boss x sexy, scheming newcomer in the workplace

(Two older women, happy ending, seven-year age gap)

(1)

After leaving her former boss with a Level 5 disability, He Qianlian was gifted a "plate of egg fried rice" by the company on her twenty-sixth birthday.

That's right, she was the "fried rice."

And after leaving the company, she couldn't even afford a meal. She'd have to beg for food!

He Qianlian: ...

Is that really necessary? Besides, a man who can't control his third leg deserves only one kind of certificate!

What kind...? A disability certificate!

(2)

She'd finally found a new job, only to find that her coworkers were gossiping about her the moment she started.

Fine! He Qianlian could take it! The workplace is a battlefield. You don't make friends, you make corpses!

But why was her female boss always gossiping about her too?

Every time their eyes met, He Qianlian could read a look of "resentment" in the other woman's eyes.

Is it really necessary?

It's not like anything happened that day... We kissed...

Ahem.

(3)

"Wait for me after work."

When He Qianlian saw the message, the corners of her mouth immediately drooped.

The "Great Demon" was going to make her work overtime again!

"Great Demon" was the nickname she had given Duan Qingmo.

"Seriously, she squeezes me dry every day," He Qianlian muttered under her breath.

She had no idea that Duan Qingmo could see every bit of her animated expression through the one-way glass.

He Qianlian was the only person in the office who didn't know the mirror was one-way glass.

"Still calling me the Great Demon?"

Duan Qingmo held He Qianlian in her arms. Wherever Duan Qingmo's gaze fell, He Qianlian felt ripples stir. Her skin seemed to heat up on its own, soon burning hot.

"Hm?"

When she got no answer, Duan Qingmo tightened her hold in displeasure.

"Ah..." He Qianlian drew a sharp breath from the pain.

A flicker of regret passed through Duan Qingmo's eyes. She eased her grip, her pale, slender fingers kneading He Qianlian's waist as she apologized for being too rough.

He Qianlian's eyes narrowed as she stretched comfortably.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a cat?

The words passed over Duan Qingmo's tongue, but she never asked.

Whatever had happened before, she cared only about the present and the future.

And now, the cat belonged to someone.
