Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Suddenly, someone pushed their way into his office. Huo Li thought it was Huo Yunting, but was greeted with the sight of Lin Yazhi instead. He slowly put down his phone and asked the nervous woman, “What do you want?”
“I found out something important! I mean it!”
“I’m not interested in anything you find important.” Huo Li was too busy to deal with her.
He pocketed his phone and made for the door. When he walked past Lin Yazhi, he pulled the secretary’s arm along with him.
Lin Yazhi was dragged toward the door. “It’s not about me, it’s about Sister Zhaoyang!”
Huo Li let her go immediately. His expression turned serious abruptly. “Huh? What is it about?”
Lin Yazhi ignored his sudden change in att.i.tude and continued, “There isn’t anyone in Sister Zhaoyang’s house! Do you think she has gone missing? Are all the employees of Thunderbolt Corp in danger?”
Huo Li looked at the ridiculous paranoia she was showing and actually found it funny.
“Don’t worry, I can tell from your looks that you’ll be quite safe.”
That aside, how did she know that no one is staying in Lu Zhaoyang’s house? Has she visited the place?
It seemed that he must warn HR not to leak employees’ information so carelessly.
“You’ll be safer if we follow that same logic! Now listen to me, I’m serious!”
She thought of sharing the information because Sister Zhaoyang was the president’s sister.
Nevertheless, before she could be certain of anything, she thought it would be best to not tell Huo Yunting for the moment. Besides, the president was not in office right now.
“Lin Yazhi, mind your own business and stop looking into Secretary Lu’s absence! Don’t visit her place again! If the president finds out, you’ll be a dead meat!”
Huo Li glared at her and then turned around to leave.
Lin Yazhi stood where she was not uttering a word. She was only worried about Lu Zhaoyang, but from the reactions of these two men, she must still be alright.
After all, as the president’s sister, she might have moved to the president’s mansion not long after she rented that place.
She must be overthinking this. That’s right…
…
The Golden City’s s.p.a.cious private room was choked with the smell of alcohol and perfume.
A few s.e.xy women were sitting around Mu Xian. The man played around with the wine gla.s.s in his hand as he studied Huo Yunting, who was quietly nursing his drink.
What’s with the lad now?
Huo Yunting had invited him out so early in the day, but the man did not even pay attention to the ladies circling around him.
“Young Huo, don’t you find it boring to simply drink from your gla.s.s? Let the girl here help you…”
“Stay away.”
Huo Yunting threw her a hard look before the lady even moved an inch.
The lady froze in surprise as Huo Yunting said impatiently, “Out, all of you!”
The ladies were all afraid of Huo Yunting’s sullen mood. They took on last look at Mu Xian, and then left the private room.
Even the ladies who served Mu Xian left.
“D*mn, don’t drag me down with you, man.” Mu Xian complained, but then an intriguing thought came to him. “You losing Lu Zhaoyang is probably for the best. You’re not returning to the Huo family anyway, so just leave them be. Judging by your looks, you haven’t actually fallen in love with her, have you?”
Fallen in love with her?
Impossible!
She owed him a debt. She belonged to him and was legally his wife.
His feelings right now could be attributed to his wounded pride. It was only natural for him to feel this way.
