Chapter 244: 244
"Don't you think the president was overreacting? When I think about that gentle and gorgeous man who came to see Secretary Lu, I think I will support them more! Ah, we really shouldn't have such salacious thoughts!"
"Sigh…"
There was a full blown gossip session happening in the secretary office . In the corridor outside, Lin Yazhi stared at Lu Zhaoyang curiously while still holding a cup in her hands .
"Why did you disappear for so long? Was there trouble?" She had been worried sick!
"No, I just took a long break and did some travelling to relax . " Lu Zhaoyang made up an excuse for her absence .
Lin Yazhi pursed her lips for awhile, and then asked again, "But where were you staying before this? I went to your house but there was a thick layer of dust on the door . It's like the house had been empty for a long time . "
"My house…"
"Sister Zhaoyang, you disappeared without a word and I got worried, so I got my hands on your bio to try to find you . "
"I did leave very abruptly, I'm sorry I got you so worried . I had actually moved to another place some time ago but I never found the time to update my details . "
"I see! Alright, alright, I'm glad as long as everything is good with you . Let's celebrate your return tonight, I'll buy you dinner!" Lin Yazhi was innocent enough to believe everything she heard . She hooked her arm around Lu Zhaoyang's and grinned . "Oh, I almost forgot something!"
Lin Yazhi abruptly stopped in her tracks . She spilled some of her drink but did not seem to notice it .
"I saw the president when I was at your place . He was smoking by his car and there were already a lot of stubs on the ground . I think he looked quite melancholic!"

Lu Zhaoyang was surprised . What was Huo Yunting doing at her house, knowing that she was already out of the country?
She could not figure out why he would do that . Perhaps he was simply too angry to think straight .
"The president is actually not too bad, Sister Zhaoyang . He did not look like the kind of person to treat his stepmother and stepsister badly . He must be worried about you too!" Lin Yazhi was convinced of her deductions . "Say, do you think we should ask the president to join us for dinner tonight?"
Lu Zhaoyang knew that Huo Yunting would resent her for having dinner outside . Why on earth would he join them?
She would never invite him!
"Do you think you'll be comfortable with him around?" said Lu Zhaoyang smiling at the young woman . She was astounded by her conclusions .

Huo Yunting as a kind stepbrother?
Hah!
"Err, you have a point . "
Lin Yazhi immediately assented to keep dinner to themselves .
They chatted and returned to the secretary office together . New Year was coming around the corner and the office was swamped . Even Huo Yunting had to put in some solid hours of work .
That was good for Lu Zhaoyang . As long as he was busy, he would not have time to bother her .

Lu Zhaoyang ignored the rumours circling around in the secretary department .
Miraculously, Huo Yunting did not contact her directly throughout the day . Any papers that needed to be signed were handled by Lin Yazhi .
She stole a quick moment with Lin Yazhi and asked how the president was doing . Lin Yazhi said, "He looks normal to me . He just signed the papers and passed them back to me . "
He must be genuinely busy then . That was good news .
After work, Lu Zhaoyang promptly packed her stuff and left with Lin Yazhi .
When they arrived at their destination, Lin Yazhi stared at the place and then turned to Lin Yazhi, who was beaming excitedly . "Are you sure we're in the right place?"Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
