The following morning, Song Shiyu set off from his parents house to his company to work. As the clock approached lunchti, he quickly cleared up whatever he was handling before heading to the restaurant he had agreed on with Ji Fanyin.
He arrived fifteen minutes ahead of ti.
While he was still looking through his email, he received a call from his mother.
Thinking that he might have left sothing behind in his parents house, he picked up the call. But before he could say anything, his mother got straight to the point and asked, Shiyu, its going to be lunchti soon. Have you arrived at the restaurant yet?
I am already there, replied Song Shiyu as he glanced at his watch.
Ten more minutes to go.
Good, good, replied Mrs Song happily. Ill have Miss Chen et you there. Shes a wonderful young lady. You can have lunch with her and your colleagues. Make sure not to make things too awkward for her, alright?
Mom, Im already eating with my colleagues, protested Song Shiyu.
Arent they all your subordinates? Mrs Song thought nothing about it. Its no big deal for you to bring a friend along with you for a social gathering. She should be arriving soon. Make sure to treat her well, you hear ?
Mrs Song hung up right away, not giving Song Shiyu any chance to turn down the eting. Song Shiyu tried to call her back, but the line was busy.
At this rate, that Miss Chen or sothing is going to bump into Ji Fanyin.
Song Shiyu quickly rose to his feet and began making his way to the front reception. While walking, he took out his phone and swiftly browsed through his list of contacts to look for Ji Fanyins phone number.
But before he could press the Call button, the front receptionist suddenly brought a demure young lady over.
The lady seed to recognize Song Shiyu as she directed a graceful smile toward him and said, Its a pleasure to et you, Mr Song.
Song Shiyus finger froze in place. He quickly put on his usual elegant smile and returned the greeting, Yes, its a pleasure to et you too. Ive just received an urgent call from my company, so Ill have to excuse myself for a mont. Do feel free to enter the compartnt room first and wait for
there. Ill be right back.
Of course, the lady replied with a slightly flushed face. Work should take precedence. Go ahead and do whatever you need to.
Song Shiyu tilted his body sideward so as to create so room for them to pass by him. After that, he continued heading out with his phone in hand.
But just as he was about to call Ji Fanyin to inform her that she didnt have to co anymore, he suddenly spotted her at the end of the corridor.
She was standing there with her hands behind her back and a gentle smile on her face. It was clear that she had witnessed everything that had happened earlier, but she still t his eyes clearly without any fluctuations in her emotions.
Song Shiyus footsteps froze for a brief mont before he continued striding toward her, until he was finally standing before her.
Shiyu, Ji Fanyin called out with her head tilted in confusion. You invited another woman to have lunch with us?
Song Shiyu couldnt see any anger or sorrow on her face. He was silent for a few seconds before asking, Ji Fanyin is there nothing else you want to say?
Isnt Ji Fanyin supposed to be in love with ? Why isnt she reacting at all?
Hmm Ji Fanyin pondered for a mont before switching over to her professional smile. Does this an a paid break for ?
