Chapter 829: Unexpected Joy
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Zhen wanted to confirm the plan this time, and he had no intention of deliberately hiding his whereabouts. Therefore, the figure walking towards the office with Huo Qiuguang was naturally visible to everyone beside him.
Although the people in the staff area were all low-level employees, that didn’t mean that they didn’t know the a.s.sistant beside the President, Ye Zhen.
‘Isn’t that Ye Zhen? Why did he suddenly come to the Finance Department?” ‘There have been so many things happening in the company recently. Perhaps he’s here to investigate.”
“It would be fine if he came to investigate. I don’t like the sight of Huo Ya at all recently…”
“She sleeps late every day and comes to work to slack off. She can even leave early. She has connections within the Finance Department. What can we do even if we don’t like her?”
After Ye Zhen and Huo Qiuguang walked a little further away, some whispers spread out from the employees. From time to time, they would complain. Everyone was a worker, let alone in a business like the Huo Corporation. Everyone was busy all day and often had to work overtime.
In such an internal environment, with a chair that was always empty in the staff area, it often attracted attention.
That was Huo Ya’s position.
Including today, she didn’t come to work on time. However, after coming to the company to put on an act, she left early and was even a little impatient. Because she was going to see Huo Xiuyuan today, the two of them had already agreed on a time on their phones.
She thought about how the two of them had not seen each other for a long time and how she would give Huo Xiuyuan a huge surprise this time. She could be said to have dressed up well, tidied up exquisitely, and sat in the agreed-upon cafe elegantly.
The cafe from afternoon to evening was not crowded, so it was especially quiet. However, even in such an environment, it was difficult to hide it. She had been looking through the window for more than an hour. She stared at the coffee in front of her that was no longer steaming and wondered when Huo Xiuyuan would come over.
Their agreed time was 3:30 p.m., but it was already past 5 p.m.
“h.e.l.lo, is there anything else you want?”
Even the waiter beside her couldn’t stand it anymore. He took the initiative to come over and ask Huo Ya softly if she had any other needs.
Looking at the cold cup of coffee, she couldn’t hide the disappointment in her heart. When she heard the waiter ask her, she couldn’t help but hold her cell phone tightly again. Then, she forced a smile.
She made a polite request. “Just give me another latte. Thank you. Please help me take this away.”
The waiter nodded when he saw this. He took the cup of coffee in front of him and turned to leave.
However, Huo Ya couldn’t sit still anymore. She turned on her cell phone and looked at it. She’d sent several messages to the other party but didn’t receive any response. She couldn’t help but type again.
[I’ve been waiting for you at the cafe. Did something happen?]
[I’ve been waiting here with the doc.u.ment.]
[If the plan changes at the last minute, I can send it to you.]
She sent a few messages repeatedly, but there was no response.
“…” Huo Ya sighed.
She looked at the busy streets outside, but couldn’t find the person she was most familiar with.
Because of the continuous messages, Huo Xiuyuan’s cell phone that was face-down on the table would vibrate from time to time, so its presence on the table was very abrupt.
He originally wanted to ignore it, but seeing that his cell phone would vibrate every once in a while, he frowned and flipped it over before turning it silent.
Who is it?” Kelly couldn’t help but ask curiously when she saw his actions.
After Huo Xiuyuan cut the steak for her, he placed it in front of Kelly and shrugged casually. “It’s probably about the company.”
“They seem quite anxious. Aren’t you going back?” Kelly thought about the frequency of the messages just now.
However, Huo Xiuyuan knew very well who had sent the messages to him. However, in the face of Kelly’s question, he cut the steak in the plate into the right size for her mouth without changing his expression. His movements could be said to be very calm.
It s fine. I want to spend some alone time with you today.”
Huo Xiuyan simply let the matter rest.
Since he had brought Kelly out today, he probably had no chance of escaping.
In that case, he had no choice but to give up on Huo Ya.
Although Huo Ya said that she had brought him something very important, compared to the help Kelly could provide him, or the priority in Huo Xiuyuan’s heart, he could still tell.
Huo Xiuyuan had made up his mind, so his next plan changed. He threw himself at Kelly beside him with all his heart.
However, what he didn’t expect was that after Kelly heard Huo Xiuyuan’s words, she felt a lot of guilt. She felt that she had delayed Huo Xiuyuan’s work too much.
She was a little embarra.s.sed, and she couldn’t help but reach out and pull Huo Xiuyuan’s arm.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if you go. In any case, you’ve been with me for a long time today…”
Kelly couldn’t help but feel a little sad when she said this. However, when she thought of how Huo Xiuyuan had even disregarded the company for her, her unhappiness today disappeared.
In any case, he would definitely go home with her to get married in the future.
With this thought in mind, Kelly felt that she shouldn’t restrain Huo Xiuyuan like this.
Hou Xiu didn’t expect that his concession would result in a pleasant surprise. Seeing this, Huo Xiuyuan simply went with the flow and informed Kelly before preparing to look for Huo Ya.
However, before he left, he acted very well. He specially went to the flower shop beside and carefully chose a bouquet of roses for Kelly before leaving.
After leaving Kelly, Huo Xiuyuan was afraid that he would arouse suspicion, so he specially went to the company and took a long detour before coming to the place he had agreed on.
However, by the time he arrived, the sun had already left work. At this moment, the sky was faintly black.
“Xiuyuan!”
There was no need for Huo Xiuyuan to call her or send a message. Huo Ya had been waiting for him to appear at the door. The moment Huo Xiuyuan walked into the shop, she recognized him.
Huo Xiuyuan didn’t want to make too much noise, so when he heard Huo Ya call his name, he quickly walked over and sat down. “Keep your voice down.”
“I’m sorry, I was just too happy to see you.” Huo Ya’s eyes lit up.
They had not seen each other for almost half a month, so when she saw Huo Xiuyuan, Huo Ya couldn’t help but feel happy.
Even though the other party had made her wait bitterly in the cafe for more than three hours, she still feit that everything was worth it when she saw him sitting in front of her.
Where’s the thing you wanted to give me previously?” Huo Xiuyuan went straight to the point.
When Huo Ya heard him mention this, she didn’t think too much about it.
She took it out of her bag and wanted to hand the photocopied doc.u.ment to Huo Xiuyuan.
However, just as the doc.u.ment was extended into the air and before it could be handed over to the other party, Huo Ya suddenly smelled a very rich and strong rose fragrance.
“…You bought flowers?” After Huo Ya identified the source of the fragrance, she looked at Huo Xiuyuan expectantly.
She didn’t even think about anything else and only thought that the flowers were for her..
