While Qiao Lian was stunned into speechlessness, Lu Nanze began to get nervous. He cleared his throat and said slowly, “Qiao Lian, it’s not too much if your boss asks you to bring a document to him, is it?”
Not too much. Of course it wasn’t too much! This “too much” was exactly what she so desperately needed.
“Besides, I’m suffering this allergy because of you, so you really shouldn’t decline.”
Qiao Lian wondered if Lu Nanze thought that she wasn’t keen on going.
How could she possibly not want to?
She immediately said, “It’s not a problem, shall I get the document from your office?”
“Uh huh.”
Lu Nanze said this slowly and it was followed by a detailed description of where the document was placed. Finally he said, “I’ve called Zhao Yang and he’s waiting for you downstairs now. Go downstairs once you’ve got the document.”
“Oh, so how do I get into your office?”
“Your keycard is able to unlock all the doors in the office.”
Qiao Lian was stunned.
So did it mean that the card she was holding in her hand was an extremely important one?
Did Lu Nanze really put so much trust in her?
As soon as this thought flashed past her mind, she abandoned it.
She hung up, took her keycard and walked out of the room.
Just as she stepped out, she saw Qiao Yiyi walking in.
As a female caster, she was now working in the headquarters as well. Upon seeing Qiao Lian, her pupils shrank back at once. She said, “Where are you going?”
Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow and replied, “I don’t think I have to report my movements to you?”
Qiao Yiyi bit her lip and said, “Qiao Lian, don’t go thinking that you can get away with being this arrogant just because Second Brother favorites you. You think you can justify not being at your desk during working hours?”
Qiao Lian tilted her head and smirked, “I’m sorry, am I really that arrogant? Why? You can’t stand it? Go tell Second Brother then!”
She snorted and immediately headed for the door. Qiao Yiyi, however, quickly followed behind.
She halted and gave Qiao Yiyi a questioning look. “What are you doing?”
The woman gave her a cold smile and said, “I’m doing whatever you’re doing. Do you mean the company allows you to go anywhere but doesn’t allow me to follow?”
Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow and said, “It’s up to you.”
After saying this, she entered the Director’s elevator.
Qiao Yiyi was about to step in too, when Qiao Lian extended her hand and said, “Ms. Qiao, if you wish to get into this lift, please swipe your keycard.”
“You- What right do you have?”
“My rights are granted through my keycard, and I will not let you use my keycard. If you can, go and get yourself one from Second Brother!”
Qiao Yiyi: …!!
She was so envious that she was now on the verge of going berserk.
What right?
She had dedicated herself to Second Brother for so many years, but she did not even have an all-access keycard for the office. Yet Qiao Lian had one the minute she came in.
This was unfair, too unfair!
She bit her lip at this thought and took out her card. Then she pressed the lift button of the level below the penthouse.
The door of the elevator slid close, shutting out Qiao Yiyi’s furious face as she was left stranded.
Qiao Lian frowned as she thought about Qiao Yiyi’s behavior.
How could she possibly allow that woman to follow her to the penthouse?
If Qiao Yiyi discovered what she was up to, then there would be big trouble.
At this thought, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the elevator’s panel, showing the ascending numbers. Very shortly, she arrived at the penthouse.
The secretary obviously knew that Qiao Lian was coming, hence she allowed her entry to Lu Nanze’s office.
