Chapter 17 Bad sign?
Yu Empire...
Inside an elegant and masculine private office with floor-to-ceiling windows occupying the most scenic spot of the building, a man dressed in a black tailored suit was sitting at a desk with a black glass surface.
The air in the room was unusually frigid. The n with him were quiet but curiosity was evident in their eyes. It was as if they were speaking with each other through telepathy, asking each other why their boss looked like he was a problematic man extrely upset over a mysterious puzzle he couldn’t answer no matter how much he thought about it.
Their usually calm boss, Yu Chen, was oozing with an uncomfortable aura. He had been like that since he left his room this morning and his n had no clue, except for Gu Jinyang and Guan Ye, who were with him in his study last night.
Monts went by and as expected, Gu Wei was the first to snap. He couldn’t bear it any longer, his curiosity was killing him so he pulled Guan Ye to the back, wrapped his arm tight around his shoulders and whispered at him.
"What happened last night? Did Gu Jinyang roast his plan and called it trash or sothing? Is that why he’s acting like this now?" Gu Wei asked, causing Guan Ye’s shoulders to drop.
Guan Ye didn’t want to speak and answer at all. He was the type who disliked talking but he knew that if he didn’t speak, this talking machine would surely bug him to no end.
Sighing, Guan Ye could only raise his white flag.
"Nothing like that happened. He discussed his plans with us and the plan is going well." He finally answered but Guan Ye was not satisfied at all.
"Then why is he like that? It seems like he is anxious about his plan but I don’t think that’s it. I can sense sothing different. Did you notice anything? I’m sure there’s a reason."
"I didn’t notice anything. The talk last night was absolutely smooth."
"Then why the hell is he like that?"
"I don’t know."
"Don’t lie. C’mon, think about it! Very carefully!"
"..."
"There’s no way that he becos like this without a reason! C’mon, think! What about his gestures or what he was doing last night?"
"..."
"Or anything unusual. I’m sure there must be so clue. C’mon, say it, say it! Say it!"
As Gu Wei continued asking him without any sign of stopping, Guan Ye was cursing him in his mind. God knows how he couldn’t stand talkative and noisy people. He wanted to smack this person and shut his mouth but he was just too strong for him to go against with.
Tch! Damn it Gu Wei, one day, I’ll beat you until you won’t even dare try treating as your ans just to satisfy your gossiping stomach again!
Knowing that he could not escape, Guan Ye could only force himself to think. He did notice sothing unusual about the boss last night but he simply ignored it and even forgot about it until this Gu Wei started forcefully sucking it out of him.
"Okay, okay, shut up now, please! I’ll say sothing unusual but promise you won’t bother again." Guan Ye quickly made a deal.
"OKAY! I swear. C’mon dude, stop beating around the bush and just spit it out!"
Guan Ye then glanced at the man behind the desk before he began to speak. "I noticed him constantly looking at his phone. He looked like he was waiting for sothing."
As soon as those words reached Gu Wei’s ears, his eyes imdiately narrowed. Guan Ye, on the other hand, hastily removed Gu Wei’s arm and slipped away as swiftly as he could, leaving the talking machine acting like Sherlock Hols trying to deduce the truth behind the clue he just heard.
Waiting for sothing? A call or a ssage? That’s sothing really unusual. Boss never wait for anyone ’s call. Wait... could it be that... SERIOUSLY!!!
Gu Wei’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Yu Chen. But before he could move and confront the boss, Yu Chen’s voice halted him in place.
"Gu Jinyang... I think her disappointnt towards might really be worse than I thought. Won’t this affect my perfect plan?"
Yu Chen’s words were obviously a surprise to Gu Jinyang that he imdiately looked at his boss with a confused frown across his face.
"W-what makes you think like that?" Gu Jinyang could only ask and Yu Chen glanced at him, his expression still the sa.
"I gave her my number and yet she hasn’t even bothered to send a ssage. Isn’t that a bad sign?"
Everyone: ". . ."
So this was what he had been thinking about since last night? He was like this because he was waiting for a ssage from her?!!!
