Nian Xiaomu herself was startled after she was done shrieking.
She was taken aback for the second time when she lifted her head up and saw Yu Yuehan, who stood before her.
A long while later, he finally moved his thin lips and asked, “What did you say just now?”
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
Would she make it in time if she told him that she had in fact said nothing?
She recalled what she had done just now—shouting directly at her big boss and even voicing out her thoughts of wanting to get close to him… What should she do now?
She needed an immediate answer to this urgent situation!
A ray of light flickered within his eyes. As she met his deep and soulful gaze, an idea popped into her mind. Straightening her back, she said, “You have taken advantage of me for the entire night and even asked me to wait. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control myself and that I would rush up to you to settle the score!”
Yu Yuehan: “…”
That was all?
A streak of disappointment flashed past his eyes.
“Say what is on your mind.” By then, Nian Xiaomu was already so guilt stricken that she did not dare to look him in the eye.
Yu Yuehan released his grip on her. With crossed arms, he leaned against the door and looked at her with raised eyebrows. “I only wanted to remind you out of kindness that you had forgotten to take your coat.”
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
Twisting her head around, she looked toward the sofa. When she realized that she had indeed left her coat on the sofa, she ran over immediately and grabbed it with one hand before running out.
She even stomped on his toes intentionally while running out!
“This is the interest you have to pay for taking advantage of me last night!”
Nian Xiaomu pulled a face directly at him. After that, she turned around and sprinted away while he wasn’t paying attention.
Like a wisp of smoke, she ran downstairs and disappeared in an instant.
As Yu Yuehan stood by the door and stared as she disappeared from his sight, a shadow settled in his eyes.
The scene from last night when she had hugged him and refused to let go seemed to flash past his eyes yet again.
A tinge of blush appeared on his face that was rarely seen on him.
He was still disturbed for quite a long while as he turned around and entered the bathroom.
–
The Yu Corporation.
Nian Xiaomu was the first one in the office.
She was filled with a guilty conscience and did not dare to get a ride from Yu Yuehan ever since she realized that she possessed thoughts of getting closer to him.
She went out secretly while he was still upstairs.
No one was in the public relations department yet when she reached the office to clock in her arrival.
Carrying her bag, she walked to her seat and sat down.
She was not in a rush to turn on her computer. Instead, she whipped out her cell phone and dialed the number that supposedly belonged to Wang Miaomiao.
“Hello, the mobile number that you are calling is currently switched off…”
She had turned off her cell phone.
Wang Miaomiao’s cell phone had been turned off ever since the time that Nian Xiaomu visited the apartment building that Wang Miaomiao had been living in and realized that Wang Miaomiao had moved away.
Nian Xiaomu had already tried umpteen times.
Even though she had attempted to call during different times of the day, Wang Miaomiao’s cell phone was always turned off.
Did Wang Miaomiao change her cell phone number or did she turn off her cell phone intentionally to avoid someone?
Could Wang Miaomiao somehow be related to the person who set a trap for Nian Xiaomu yesterday?
As Nian Xiaomu sat in her seat, she tried to connect everything together.
However, no matter how hard she thought about it, she could not think of anyone she had offended.
Technically speaking, she did not know of anybody since she had suddenly appeared in the public relations department recently, much less have past hatred with anyone.
The only possibility was that she might have become a threat to someone after she started working in the public relations department.
Xie Jingjing was gone.
Wang Tianli was transferred away.
Wang Miaomiao had left her position as well.
Who else?
If there was someone actually inciting Wang Miaomiao behind Nian Xiaomu’s back, the position held by this person should be higher than Wang Miaomiao’s.
Otherwise, Wang Miaomiao wouldn’t have taken such a rash risk since she treasured her job so dearly.
Nian Xiaomu seemed to have thought of something. As she lifted her head up slowly, her gaze shifted toward the manager’s office that was just a stone’s throw away from her seat.
Was she overthinking it?
Nian Xiaomu had always felt that Wen Yadai’s reaction toward the incident involving Wang Miaomiao was a little strange.
Just when Nian Xiaomu was entranced in her thoughts, a series of footsteps sounded from behind her…
