"Miss Kao Sheng, your father summoned you to his study," a voice of a male servant replied .
With a confused look on her face, Kao Sheng replied, "Ok, I'll be there . " Why is she being summoned late at night? Her father usually never shared any problems or news related to work other than a potential partner, but that can wait until next day .
