He spoke in such a hard tone, as if he was still at a conference table explaining to those antiques why the new proposal submitted by the departnt was not feasible, and not like he was talking to his newlywed wife.
Lu Huai’an seed to realize this but didn’t intend to change.
His thin lips parted slightly and he asked indifferently, "Are you a mber of the Lu Family?"
Lin Chu seed to be struck by so nerve with this sentence, and her previously lancholy little face suddenly beca lively, even her steps beca lighter than before.
Thinking about how she was almost strangled to death by soone who nearly broke her wrist two months ago, and now this person admitted she’s part of the Lu Family, how could Lin Chu not be happy?
The corners of her lips almost reached her ears, "Yes, I am from the Lu Family, but not your errand runner."
Proper coyness is not pretentious,
The girl’s soft voice transmitted through the airwaves wasn’t so annoying anymore, and an imperceptible touch of gentleness softened Lu Huai’an’s stern and resolute features.
He softened his tone, "Lin Chu, I need it urgently, the docunt is in the drawer of the desk, please deliver it to ."
Honestly, Lin Chu was a bit surprised.
From the usual developnt of events, she should be putting on airs and acting proud, and Lu Huai’an would respond with more indifferent sneers.
Today is a bit unusual...
However, she preferred this side of Lu Huai’an; this little bit of almost negligible tenderness compensated for the cold disappointnt she felt waking up to find his side of the bed empty.
You can’t spoil people; give them so paint and they’ll set up a dye house.
Counting the stairs as she walked to the second floor, Lin Chu naturally acted spoiled, "Call ’wife’ once, and I’ll rush over with the docunt at no charge."
That man always called her "Lin Chu Lin Chu," awkward and distant.
Lu Huai’an’s heart trembled slightly at those words.
The chiseled contours of his face reverted to the usual indifference, his voice carrying a commanding tone, "Deliver it within an hour, or if you’re a minute late, you’ll have to return to the Lin Family the day after tomorrow."
Plain and simple threat.
Lin Chu had already entered the study, opening the drawer to search for the docunt Lu Huai’an needed, complaining in defeat, "Deliver deliver deliver, so unromantic."
Young couples who haven’t married yet have terms of endearnt for each other; he, on the other hand, directly uses her full na without thinking there’s anything wrong.
It’s so infuriating.
Knowing he was about to hang up, Lin Chu hurriedly spoke up, "Hey! Wait a minute!"
In the drawer, there were several docunts. Lin Chu took the top one and asked, "Is it the one in the sealed bag?"
"Yes."
It was sothing Lu Huai’an had personally placed; there were many business secrets in the drawer, and he was clearly aware Lin Chu wouldn’t snoop around, so there was no need to say much.
The executives in the conference room, having waited too long, urged Secretary Sun to go out and ask about the situation.
Secretary Sun saw her boss still on the phone at the end of the corridor, so she didn’t get too close, stopping three steps away and respectfully asked, "Mr. Lu, should the eting continue?"
Even Secretary Sun was seeing this situation for the first ti today. Since Mr. Lu joined the company, she had been working by his side and had never seen Mr. Lu make such a low-level mistake: forgetting to bring the docunt needed for the eting from ho.
It was quite a novel experience.
Lu Huai’an instructed calmly, "Let everyone go for lunch, we’ll start at two in the afternoon."
The inner thoughts of the boss were not sothing Secretary Sun could probe, she responded respectfully with a nod, "Alright, Mr. Lu."
Turning to walk towards his office, long legs striding, he said into the phone to Lin Chu, "Have the driver at ho drive you over, I’ll have the secretary et you at the company entrance."
Last night... he lost control.
She should still be quite uncomfortable.
Lin Chu, oblivious to the man’s implicit concern, said, "Oh, okay."
Holding the docunt as she walked across the pebbled path, through the main hall of the mansion, changing shoes at the entrance.
She heard what he told the secretary, so she thoughtfully offered, "You haven’t had lunch yet, right? It’s too late to ask the maid to cook now, what would you like to eat? I’ll buy it for you on the way."
Lu Huai’an initially intended to refuse directly, but when the words ca out, they changed, "Anything’s fine."
The mont those two words left his mouth, not only was Lin Chu on the other end of the phone stunned, even Lu Huai’an himself froze for a mont, his hand reaching for the teacup on the coffee table paused in the air.
Lin Chu thought the response she would get would be sothing like: [I’m not eating, you just need to send the docunt over] or [Don’t buy anything, I’m afraid you might have ulterior motives and drug , attempting an office play].
