"Mrs. Shen, it’s Xiaolin. Are you all right?" Assistant Xiaolin asked from outside.
Xiaolin had co over from China with Shen Yi. The latter had once borrowed facial cleanser and makeup remover pads from her, and after that, Mrs. Shen took special care to thank her.
Shen Yi and Assistant Chen were having a eting in the conference room, and Xiaolin was the only one among those present who had t Ye Wanwan earlier, so everyone had asked Xiaolin to check on her just now.
This was because Mrs. Shen’s deanor earlier clearly indicated that she had been frightened, and she had eventually fled in panic, retreating to Shen Yi’s office.
The incident that happened outside had been so sudden that no one had understood what was going on. At first, Mrs. Shen seed perfectly normal, asking where the pantry was.
It was when Fang Xian suddenly spoke that Mrs. Shen turned around, saw her, and then showed a look of terror, not only dropping her cup but also running off in a hurry.
Even though nobody knew why this had happened, they couldn’t let Shen Yi finish the eting only to discover that his wife had been scared off by them!
Ye Wanwan hesitated for a long while but finally turned around and opened the door, facing Xiaolin at the door with a difficult smile on her face.
"I’m fine. I just feel a little unwell and want to rest for a bit," Ye Wanwan explained.
Xiaolin was worried, "Are you sure you are okay? Do you need to call Mr. Shen for you?"
"No need!" Ye Wanwan shook her head repeatedly. At the mont, she sowhat dreaded seeing Shen Yi, fearful she might lose control over her emotions, so she subconsciously refused Xiaolin’s offer.
Xiaolin seed at a loss and could only say helplessly, "Then Mrs. Shen, you rest. Please let us know if you need anything."
"I didn’t know what you’d like to drink, so I brought warm water." Xiaolin handed over the cup she was carrying.
Ye Wanwan took it and said softly, "Thank you."
Xiaolin nodded slightly and then turned to leave. It wasn’t until Xiaolin had gone far that Ye Wanwan closed the door and returned to the small sofa in the office to sit down.
Ye Wanwan was taking deep breaths, attempting to calm her emotions.
She kept giving herself ntal reassurances, telling herself not to be afraid, not to be afraid!
Everything had started over again, and the tragedy of her previous life would not happen again!
Xiaolin returned to the office area, where everyone was waiting for her to co back. Seeing her now, they couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on?"
Xiaolin frowned and shook her head, "I don’t know, but it seems like there’s nothing wrong."
After saying that, Xiaolin looked towards the break room, saw Fang Xian sitting on the sofa through the glass door, and felt a tinge of irritation. She said indignantly, "Whatever, when Mr. Shen asks later, we’ll just tell him the truth!"

In the eting room, Shen Yi glanced down at his watch. An hour had passed, but the eting wasn’t over yet and, judging by the situation, it seed it would still take a while.
Shen Yi’s gaze moved away from his watch, but his expression beca slightly more serious than before.
The manager currently reporting his work felt a chill down his spine, thinking that his report might have displeased Mr. Shen.
Another half hour passed, and the eting concluded. Shen Yi stood up first and quickly left the eting room.
When Shen Yi returned to his office floor, he passed by the other offices and was seen by the employees there. Everyone wanted to say sothing, but Shen Yi didn’t give them the chance to speak and quickly went back to his office.
