“Let me know immediately if anyone in the management committee resigns.”
Then he hung up the call.
The assistant was left utterly confused as he looked at the cell phone.
When had his boss become so concerned about whether his employees were resigning?
–
On the other side.
Nian Xiaomu was not aware of what had happened outside—she had nestled herself in Tan Bengbeng’s bed without bathing nor eating and slept through the night.
She had wrapped the blanket too tightly around her and was perspiring all over. Now that she had woken up, her entire body was sticky and her stomach had started to grumble.
She had already climbed out of bed before her alarm rang for work.
Leaning to the side, she wanted to nudge and dive into the embrace of a particular person beside her. However, all that she hugged was thin air the moment she flipped her body around.
She snapped back to her senses and realized that she was no longer in the Yu Family villa.
Yu Yuehan, the person whom she could kiss and coo, was no longer by her side.
This was definitely a disappointment.
Not just disappointment.
At that moment, Nian Xiaomu rushed into thin air, she lay sprawled on the bed and could not snap out of her daze.
For the next five minutes, she remained in a heartbroken and deeply hurt state, just like a kitten that had been abandoned by its owner. She was so upset that tears nearly rolled down…
Then she gathered her thoughts and realized: Yu Yuehan did not chase her away; she was the one who had packed her luggage and left the Yu Family villa of her own accord.
She only flipped her body and got off the bed after she cursed at herself in her heart.
She gathered the various personal necessities in Tan Bengbeng’s house in no time. Then, she washed and changed her clothes.
Before she left the house, she gave the airline company a call.
After it was confirmed that there was no news of Tan Bengbeng yet, a dull ray of light flashed past her eyes, but she quickly hid this.
She left the house as if nothing had happened.
When she passed by the breakfast store downstairs, she even remembered to get herself a sandwich as well as a bottle of yogurt drink.
She held the food in her hand and took a cab to the office.
She had just reached the Yu Corporation, but before she could enter the office grounds, she spotted a huge and familiar-looking figure standing at the entrance.
Yu Yuehan’s utterly charming face and height always had some kind of a presence that could not be ignored whenever he stood in a crowd.
As Nian Xiaomu paused in her steps, she looked up and stared fixedly at the person before her.
He still looked very handsome in a full black suit.
It didn’t matter if she was looking at him from near or from far—his handsome face, with distinct features, would still be her type.
The stubble on his chin, where he had not properly shaved, added on a tinge of dejectedness in him. However, for some reason, there seemed to be a trace of sexiness in it too.
Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke.
Unlike Nian Xiaomu who had just got there, Yu Yuehan had arrived at the office early in the morning.
How early?
He had been standing there before the sun had even risen from the horizon.
The entire Yu Corporation was so huge and there were so many hours in a day. As Nian Xiaomu sighed at the odds of them bumping into each other, everyone in the company was discussing this:
“Did something major happen in the company today? I actually bumped into Young Master Han when I reached the office today…”
“I must have accumulated good karma these days and the heavens above have rewarded me. I can smile the entire day after getting a dose of Young Master Han’s gorgeousness early this morning!”
“Am I the only one who noticed the dark rings beneath my heartthrob’s eyes? Young Master Han must have had a bad sleep last night…”
“I agree. This is the first time seeing my heartthrob with stubble. Even though there’s just a teeny weeny bit of it, I wouldn’t mind too. It’s still so sexy that I can’t look at him directly and I nearly had a nosebleed…”
“…”
Perhaps it was true, no one had ever seen Yu Yuehan waiting downstairs for so long, right from the time he arrived at the office early this morning.
