Chapter 224: 224、Never See Him Again!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhaoyang felt dejected, not because of the cold treatment she was given, but because she did not know how things were with Huo Chen these days.
During lunch time, old Mrs Huo sat at one end of the long dining table. Only her meal was served.
Lu Zhaoyang took a glance and went back to her room to order food delivery.
She did not want to bother the old woman just because of her own meals.
She laid back in bed and stared at the milky white ceiling, wis.h.i.+ng that her own mind could be as empty as the ceiling board. She just wanted to stop thinking.
There was no way she could return to the city. After she left with Huo Chen, Huo Yunting must be furious. Besides, he had told the Huo family about her past relations.h.i.+p with Huo Chen.
She did not want to meet that cunning and detestable man again.
Never again!
…
Back in the city, Mo Shan was walking past the secretary office with a smile in Thunderbolt Corp. She looked inside and noted Lu Zhaoyang’s absence.
She knew that Lu Zhaoyang had returned. She also knew that Huo Chen was punished according to his family laws and then sent back to the military before daybreak.
Lu Zhaoyang must be suffering right now in the Huo residence!
She was giddy just thinking about it and could not hide the smile on her face when she knocked on Huo Yunting’s office door.
New Year was approaching and the company was swarmed with work. Even Huo Yunting had to put in some hours these days.
Mo Shan entered his office and greeted him softly, “Brother Yunting…”
Huo Yunting heard her as he continued going through some doc.u.ments. He kept his head low, but his lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.
He was impressed by the woman in front of him. After all, she had gone to investigate Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen, and then exposed their story to the Huo family.
Now, she dared to show her face at his office as though she was innocent.
Since Huo Yunting did not react, Mo Shan thought he was too absorbed in his work. She walked closer toward him.
“Since your sister is not here and it’s almost New Year, why don’t you let me stay and help you out?”
Mo Shan walked to his side and offered.
She wanted to see him and be by his side every single day.
Huo Yunting finally reacted. He twirled his pen and looked sideways at her. “I have many secretaries. They did just fine in Lu Zhaoyang’s absence, and they will continue to do fine.”
“Can I help you with something else, then? What about a ma.s.sage?” She had taken cla.s.ses from a professional before.
“No need.” Huo Yunting looked impatient. “If you’re bored, you can consider starting a ma.s.sage centre by the blind. Business will be booming, so don’t keep yourself limited to me.”
“You’re such a joker. You know I’m not blind, right?”
Mo Shan’s smile turned awkward, but she continued the conversation.
She understood what Huo Yunting was trying to say — that she had bad taste in things.
Nevertheless, since Lu Zhaoyang was not here to meddle, she wanted to spend more time with him.
Huo Yunting s.h.i.+fted his attention back to the doc.u.ments and ignored her.
“Brother Yunting, I heard that your sister is back at the Huo family residence. Why is she not back at work? Did she contact you?” Mo Shan asked carefully.
She felt that she had to ask the question right now, or Huo Yunting would chase her out.
Huo Yunting’s hand shook slightly as he was signing the papers, but he quickly resumed his calm.
