Lu Zhaoyang and Xiang Jinxi went to get their agreement signed today . When that was over and they were on their way back in the car, she took the opportunity to discuss a series of proposals with him . She even asked to schedule another meeting to discuss the details with him next week .
Xiang Jinxi agreed reluctantly to the meeting .
Finally, they quieted down . Lu Zhaoyang took out her phone and made notes .
Suddenly, she heard Xiang Jinxi leaned closer to her and said, “You… are a capable assistant . ”
She recalled Huo Yunting saying something like that too .
“It’s my job . ”
When they reached their office, Lu Zhaoyang stepped out of the car and watched her boss left with car .
He’s even harder to manage than Huo Yunting!
Am I destined to terrible career choices?
No, my job is satisfying enough . It’s my bosses that are always giving me trouble .
When it was time to leave work . Lu Zhaoyang did not feel like going home at all . She still had something to finish up, so she took out her phone and messaged Huo Yunting .
“I’ll be home very late tonight . Don’t wait up . ”
The message was simple — do not wait for her; mind his own business .
After that, she switched her phone off . She could never win him in an argument, so she might as well ignore him .
Hours passed . There was no one else in the office except for security .
Lu Zhaoyang ordered takeaway . She continued working while eating her dinner . Soon, it was midnight .
She stretched her neck tiredly . Surely Huo Yunting would not be at her place now, so late into the night .
When she reached her apartment, she noticed a slender figure standing outside building . He simply stood there with no apparent purpose .
She stopped walking and realized that he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere .
Recently, she read a lot of news online about women being abducted . She shuddered at the thought and stared at his figure under the tree warily .
What to do…
Would she make it to the apartment in time if she ran?
Suddenly, the figure moved and gradually approached her!
She slowly took a few steps back and raised her arms to chest by way of defense .
The figure stopped in front of her and said with a calm voice, “Hello, Miss . ”
Huh?
The lights were behind him, so she could not make out his face . However, his silhouette did look familiar .
“We met at the mall . I live on the fifth floor, right above you . ”
“Ah!”
She remembered now . He wore a singlet and slippers in the mall, which were completely not suited for the current season .
“You should wear a few more layers in this weather, or people will think you’re weird . Erm, how can I… help you?”
“I left my keys at home and I haven’t paid for my dinner just now . Can you borrow me ten yuan? I will pay you back tomorrow . ”
He squinted a bit as he could not make out her expression under his shadow .
“Sure . ”
Ten yuan was easy enough .
She took out ten yuan from her wallet . “You don’t have to pay back . ”
“I will…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Zhaoyang walked past him and nearly ran to her apartment .
Was he really that intimidating?
… Weird?
The man looked down at his slippers and realized he felt uncomfortably cold . Perhaps he had stayed indoors too long to notice these things .
Lu Zhaoyang got home, took a bath, and went to bed .
The next morning, she had forgotten all about last night . When she opened the door to leave for work, she saw an unfamiliar looking man standing outside…
