Pei Ge returned to the office after having lunch .

She sat at her desk and stared at the computer screen .
He Yan initially thought that Pei Ge was working on some important documents, but when she passed by her desk on her way to get a cup of coffee, she saw that the latter was actually not doing any serious work and was daydreaming, instead!
“Pei Ge? Pei Ge?” she called out .
“Ah?” Only then did Pei Ge come out of her trance .
“Pei Ge, what’s wrong?” she asked with concern .
Pei Ge shook her head lightly and smiled . “Nothing; I was just thinking of something . ”
“Oh . ” She did not pry .
She was prudent enough to get that Pei Ge did not want to talk about it, so she smiled politely and merely returned to her seat .
Pei Ge sighed in relief when the other did not ask her to elaborate .
In fact, she, too, did not know what she was thinking of earlier .
“Huuuu!” Stretching her hand and exhaling deeply, she concentrated on her work this time .
Pai, da, pai, da! The sound of her fingers tapping on the keyboard echoed in the office .
The sound was like elegant music and soothed her mood .

The afternoon ended quickly with Pei Ge focusing on her work .
All the way until it was time to get off work, she did not see even a shadow of Ji Ziming in the office .
She slowly packed her things and left the office .
When she passed by the CEO’s office on her way out, she involuntarily halted her footsteps and stared at its door .
Did that annoying person really go on a blind date?
Her imagination was running wild when her phone rang .
Retrieving her phone from her handbag, she became solemn at the caller ID displayed on the screen . She picked up the call .
“Hello, Second Uncle . ”
“Ge Ge, I was drunk yesterday; please don’t take my words to heart . ” Pei Zhenghui’s voice came through the phone .
“I didn’t; I know you were drunk, so I don’t blame you . ” Her grip tightened around the phone as she lightly spoke .
“That’s good; that’s good! I knew you’re the most sensible!” he laughed and said .
His words made her frown slightly .
“Second Uncle, where are you now? Is it a good time? I’d like to discuss things with you,” she said softly .

“No need . You are a good child and don’t have to explain anything to me,” he rejected .
“No, Second Uncle . There are some things that I should explain properly to you,” she insisted .
Her stubbornness seemed to have shocked him as he was rendered speechless .
“Second Uncle, I’m off work now . You should be in the office, right? I’ll find you there . ” Without giving him a chance to reject, she hung up and left office .
Some things should be explained clearly . Trouble was bound to come if things were left vague .
With this mindset, she hailed a cab and headed to Pei Family Real Estate’s headquarters .
Though she kept her eyes on the bustling streets outside, she was actually recounting last night’s incident at her second uncle’s villa .
Too many things had happened yesterday, and they were all a blur . She was too emotional and, with a tumultuous heart, did not think things properly .
Today, however, after thinking about yesterday’s incident, she realized that something was wrong with her second uncle and Pei Shishi .
‘Did you do it on purpose?! Did you—’
What ‘on purpose’? What would she do on purpose?
She was unable to guess what he wanted to convey with those words . More importantly, why was her cousin so anxious?
It was as if her cousin were afraid of him spilling the beans .

“What exactly is going on?” She felt she had more questions than answers and was unable to understand yesterday’s incident completely .
Soon, in the middle of her contemplation, the taxi arrived at Pei Family Real Estate’s headquarters .
Once she paid the fare, she alighted from the taxi and entered the company’s lobby .
The interior design of Pei Family Real Estate’s office was very different from Chenguang Real Estate’s . The latter had a minimalistic style, with white as its primary color scheme, yet it did not sacrifice the modern aspect of the design .
In contrast, Pei Family Real Estate’s company building had a grander interior .
Gold and wood were the primary colors used . The lighting and furniture were of more abstract designs .
Hence, Pei Family Real Estate gave off a grand and expensive look .
Thankfully, it did not have that nouveau-riche feel to it . Pei Zhenghui spent a large sum of money on the office building’s initial renovation, after all .
She approached the receptionist desk upon entering the lobby .
“Hello, I’m looking for CEO Pei,” she informed with a smile .
“May I know if you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked friendlily .
“Yes, I’m from the Pei family; your CEO Pei should be aware of my visit,” she confirmed .
“Okay . Please wait a while, Miss Pei . ”
“Sure . ”
Soon, the receptionist smilingly informed, “Miss Pei, CEO Pei is waiting for you in his office; you can go up now . ”
“Alright, thank you . ”
“You’re welcome . ”
After a polite conversation with the receptionist, she took the elevator up to Pei Zhenghui’s office .
Since she had been to this side of the company building before, she knew her way around and where to find his office .
Ding! The lift stopped on the floor where his office was located .
She exited the elevator and headed straight to her second uncle’s office .
The building was quiet and had few people in it as it was already after office hours .
Knock, knock! Arriving at the door labeled ‘Office of the CEO’, she politely knocked .
“Come in . ” Pei Zhenghui’s voice called out from inside the office .
Pak! She inhaled sharply and collected her emotions before opening the door and entering his office .
