“Xiaxia?” Qiao Mu called out, feeling that something was amiss.
Oh, I’m fine. My phone ran out of battery and I forgot to call you. I’m already here. Don’t worry. ” Chi Xia’s voice was very soft. There was not a trace of joy from seeing her lover.
“Why do I feel like you’re very listless?” Qiao Mu frowned slightly. Did you see Gu Cheng?”
“No, after I got off the plane, I found a hotel to stay in for the night. I have to rest well before I go see him, right? Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to pack up and get ready to go out.” After Chi Xia finished speaking, she said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Qiao Mu did not think too much about it. She thought that Chi Xia was in a hurry to meet Gu Cheng, so it was normal for her to hang up on her impatiently. She was relieved to know that Chi Xia had arrived safely.
The next day, Qiao Mu slept until eight o’clock. She lazily woke up and turned over, intending to continue sleeping. However, she suddenly thought of something and abruptly sat up.
Oh no! We’re going to be late!
Qiao Mu hurriedly washed up and rushed out of the dormitory.
Being late for work on the second day was really digging her own grave. She could totally imagine how Ye Lin would educate her.
When Qiao Mu exited the subway, it was already 8:40 pm. She was destined to be late today.
Qiao Mu rushed to the company and waited for the elevator. She was thinking about how to deal with Ye Lin later and hoped that her superior would not be too harsh on her.
There was a commotion in the hall behind her, but Qiao Mu was in no mood to pay attention to it. She anxiously stomped her feet, hoping that the elevator would descend quickly.
Qiao Mu felt the two people chatting at the side suddenly quieten down, and then she heard a voice. “”Good morning, President.”
President?
Qiao Mu was stunned. She subconsciously turned around and happened to face the man behind her.
Qiao Mu’s mouth was agape in an exaggerated manner as she looked at the other party in astonishment.
He, he, he…Why was he here?
He actually returned to the country!
Li Yan glanced at Qiao Mu, who was so shocked that her mouth could fit an egg. When she saw him, she looked surprised but not happy.
Qiao Mu immediately lowered her head and whispered, “”Hello, President.” When did he come back? Yesterday, Lei Yi had told him to come back in a few days.
The elevator beside her opened, and the man in front of her stepped into the elevator. Qiao Mu followed closely behind and entered the elevator with her head lowered.
Then, Qiao Mu realized that the people waiting for the elevator outside were all standing still and looking at her with surprise. Qiao Mu immediately felt that something was wrong. This elevator didn’t seem to be the staff elevator!
Just as Qiao Mu was about to step out of the elevator, Lei Yi, who was standing at the elevator entrance, silently pressed the button for the floor, and the elevator closed.
Qiao Mu felt a headache coming on. She had openly taken the CEO’s private elevator and so many pairs of eyes were staring at her. Wasn’t she courting death?
Qiao Mu grabbed Lei Yi’s arm that was pressing the elevator button and said, “”Assistant Lei, wait a moment. I’ll go down first.”
Before Lei Yi could say anything, he felt a cold light sweep over. The arm that Qiao Mu was grabbing felt a chill, and Lei Yi immediately took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Qiao Mu.
Lei Yi reminded her, ” Miss Qiao, the elevator has already gone up. ”
Qiao Mu stood silently at the side with her back facing Li Yan. The reflective walls of the elevator allowed her to see Li Yan’s expression clearly.
The man stood there coldly, his thin lips slightly pursed. From the side, the lines of his handsome face were clear and deep.
They hadn’t seen each other for more than half a month, but the moment they met, he put on an aloof expression as if she owed him money!
Uh …. She did owe him money!
