Could she feign ignorance and pretend that she did not see the text?
She could not… for Ji Chen sent a second text.
“Madam, you better come up, or else…”
His unfinished sentence made her even more anxious.
Zhuang Nainai frowned and sighed.
At 11:55 am, the employees of the Imperial Group started leaving the building for lunch.
Zhuang Nainai could not dodge forever. She stood up and braced herself as if preparing for war. She took a deep breath and headed up the stairs.
The lift lobby was crowded with people waiting to get downstairs. She did not want to draw attention for going up to the top floor.
However, there were thirty levels in the building. She had twelve floors to climb to get to the top.
Zhuang Nainai could scale thirty floors easily on a normal day, but she had used up much energy over the past two days and was panting hard by the time she reached her destination.
She bent forward and breathed heavily. She gave herself a minute to recover before standing up straight and pushing open the door to the stairwell.
Standing in front of her were the bodyguards Dazhuang, Dashan, and Xiaoshan.
Zhuang Nainai immediately stood tall and lifted her head haughtily when she saw the three of them, fatigue from a few seconds ago all gone.
They had seen all the embarrassing things she went through over the past few days. She must reclaim her dignity and pride!
Furthermore…
Zhuang Nainai stared hard at Dashan and Xiaoshan, holding her head high as much as she could when she walked past them.
She could finally get back at them for blocking her all the time previously!
See if you could stop me now!
Zhuang Nainai proudly stalked to the office and confidently pushed open the door. But her head immediately drooped when she walked in.
She put on a meek and affable look, pleading that Mr. Si would rest on the disagreement on how to address him.
Si Zhengting’s office was a suite.
There was a large well-equipped work area on the entrance. Many rooms were connected to it. Zhuang Nainai looked around and found an indoor golf course. What extravagance!
Si Zhengting was still sitting behind the work desk and reviewing documents.
Scrumptious food ordered from an expensive restaurant, still piping hot, was placed on the table in the dining area.
Zhuang Nainai walked in and Ji Chen nodded in Si Zhengting’s direction, telling her to ask Mr. Si to eat.
Ask Si Zhengting to lunch? But that involves calling out to him!
Zhuang Nainai waved her hands and asked Ji Chen to do it instead.
Ji Chen shook his head to imply that he could not get him to eat.
Zhuang Nainai put on a pitiful look, silently begging Ji Chen.
Ji Chen did not know what to do.
Si Zhengting had locked his peripheral gaze on Zhuang Nainai the minute she walked in.
He was indeed annoyed downstairs today. He saw Ji Chen come in and hence ditched her at the lobby, worried that he would bully her more if they got in the same lift.
It took a long time to calm himself down in the office.
Wasn’t it just a matter of names?
He had wanted to let it go, but…
Was it so hard to ask him to lunch?
On top of that!
Why did she understand Ji Chen so well? Why could they communicate with just a look and an action?
