Chapter 35: She Placed Her Hand Into His… (1)
[Miss Gu, I will be at your front door at 12:00 PM.]
After Gu Shishi had seen her student off and looked at Siyi’s message, it was already 11:55 AM.
“Oh shoot! I am running late!”
It would not be nice if she was late when someone else was delivering lunch to her and she made him wait under the noon sun.
“Pardon me! Excuse me!”
Gu Shishi didn’t have time to notify the others or wait for the elevator. Instead, she dashed downstairs on the escalator with urgency.
Luckily, the classroom wasn’t too high up. Panting, she dashed from the fifth floor to the front entrance. She took a look at her phone and was able to let out a sigh of relief.
11:59 AM!
Gasping for air, she looked around but didn’t see Siyi.
HONK!
She was just about to look for him when she heard a car honking!
She looked over to the origin of the noise and saw a high-key, silvery grey Maserati parked at the end of the street in such a domineering and luxurious manner that it had attracted a lot of attention from the people on the street.
And, it was slowly driving up to the empty spot in front of her…
“Eh?”
Is this the boss’s car?
Gu Shishi blinked.
With her phone in her hand, she carefully inched toward the car.
Surely enough, she could see Siyi in the driver’s seat when she walked closer.
The driver side window quickly rolled down and Siyi stuck his head out, “Just a minute, Miss Gu. Let me pull the car up first.”
“Sure. Thank you so much!” Smiled Gu Shishi cheerfully.
She stood over to one side obediently with her hands to her side and freed up the parking spot for the car.
The back side of the Maserati moved in front of her quickly.
It was noon, and the sun was above their heads.
The backside window, which was shut tightly, reflected the sunlight and all Gu Shishi could see was her own image in the window, but she couldn’t tell if there was someone else sitting inside the car.
But, Gu Shishi rubbed her nose. Facing toward the backseat window, she gave it the best 24k gold kiss-up smile.
Could the boss be inside the car right now?
As the fact that the boss had Siyi went out of his way to deliver her lunch and replenish her blood bar had clearly demonstrated the sincerity in his apology, then she should also be the bigger person and forgive him for his actions from that morning.
The boss must be in the backseat!
Thinking about that, she squinted her eyes hard and moved her head even close to the backseat window.
She even reached out her hands to block the shining sun, hoping she could get rid of the reflection and better see the inside of the car.
Inside of the car.
Huo Sishen sat in the backseat, reading the documents in his hands with his legs crossed.
But his well-defined hand paused in midair and never flipped a page.
He looked up slightly with his dark eyes and saw this silly-looking woman with her slightly sweating petite face so close that it was almost touching the car window.
On top of that, her mouth was cracked open, smiling like a fool. He couldn’t fathom what she was so happy about.
Fool!
Huo Sishen pursed his lips.
His slender finger pinched a corner of the page. He was a bit too forceful and the veins on his fingers were readily visible.
She was startled this morning and ran away like a startled rabbit without looking back.
And now… what was she trying to do now?
Outside of the car, the regret on Gu Shishi was clearly visible.
Obviously, after much observation, she had finally realized that this was a one-sided window, and there was no way she could see the inside of it.
Knock! Knock!
So she reached out her hand and knocked on the window.
Huo Sishen’s brows furrowed deeply.
When there was still no response, she reached out to try again.
But, unexpectedly. The car window rolled down all of a sudden!
Her index finger immediately knocked straight into the air!
At that very minute, her limpid eyes looked into the sharp, black eyes inside the car. Cold and deep, they made her shudder immediately.
Like being in the coldest day in the winter, or falling into a cold, bottomless pond, the coldness was bone-chilling.
“Do you not know what manners are?” Huo Sishen’s voice was ice cold, spreading its coldness as he talked.
Gu Shishi’s limpid eyes flashed with excitement. “Mr. Huo!”
The boss was indeed in the car!
Gu Shishi had automatically filtered out all of his cold and callous words.
The boss always had a bad mouth and refused to show his soft side. He was trying to hide the fact that he was being nice?
Aye, the boss was a trying proud and awkward tsundere!
Gu Shishi’s mouth curved upward uncontrollably.
