Although she felt that the possibility of it being Big Boss was extremely low, she had only been back for a few days. The only people who knew that she was overseas were the landlady and Big Boss. Therefore, she only dialed the number with the intention of giving it a try.
The call was quickly picked up. Big Boss’s voice was calm and elegant. “You’re awake?”
“…”Xu Weilai was so surprised that she stopped what she was about to say.
She didn’t need to ask anymore. With this question, she could confirm that the person who came here to take care of her was Big Boss!
Xu Weilai was shocked for almost a minute before she managed to find her voice. She still couldn’t believe it, and her tone was a little erratic, “Big Boss, um… did you come to my apartment? Did you put the towel on my forehead? And did you also… cook the porridge?”
“Yes.” Big Boss responded and said, “I had something to do, so I left first. I didn’t wait for you to wake up.”
“No need, no need. It’s my honor that you came to see me.” Xu Weilai was really flattered. “I’m sorry I troubled you again.”
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Much better. My fever has subsided. Thank you for your concern.” Xu Weilai calmed herself down and gently swallowed her saliva. As she replied, she felt confused and reflexively asked, “But, Big Boss, how did you know that I was sick? And you even came to the apartment?”
Big Boss was silent for a moment. Instead of answering, he asked, “Did you forget?”
She forgot? What did she forget?
Xu Weilai’s eyes were filled with confusion. She frowned and thought about it. However, when she was in a delirious state due to her illness, her memory was also in a daze. For a moment, she really couldn’t remember what she had done.
She couldn’t help but ask softly, “Big Boss, why don’t you make it clear?”
Big Boss chuckled and replied, “That night, I sent you an email, but you didn’t reply, so I gave you a call. You answered and told me that you were sick and that it was pitiful to have no one to take care of you. I was worried that something would happen to you since you were alone, so I went to your apartment.”
“…”
Xu Weilai covered her face.
No way? She actually took advantage of her illness to act coquettishly with Big Boss? Oh my God… what on earth was she doing?
She was a tough and independent woman. How could she become a fragile little woman just because she was sick? And she even said that it was pitiful to have no one to take care of her?
Her image… was completely ruined!
For a moment, Xu Weilai really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. After all, Big Boss was her boss. If she wanted to take on tasks, she could just act coquettishly and kiss up to him, but she even acted coquettishly towards him when it wasn’t related to work, it was… it was simply too embarrassing!
Xu Weilai’s face was flushed with shame. After a long while, she dryly squeezed out a sentence, “I’m sorry to have caused you trouble. My… it was because I was sick that I spouted nonsense. I didn’t mean to say those things to you.”
“It’s okay.”
“Then… can you erase these things from your mind? Pretend you didn’t hear anything!” Xu Weilai pleaded pitifully.
Perhaps it was her hopeless tone that amused Big Boss, but he laughed softly. When he spoke again, his voice obviously wasn’t as gentle but much more amused than before. “Okay.”
Only then did Xu Weilai breathe a huge sigh of relief.
After pausing for a moment, she suddenly thought of something and said, “Big Boss, are you free tomorrow?”
