Chapter 1152 - He Actually Likes Her This Much... (8) (1/2)

Qiao Lian halted and she froze.

She looked at the assistant and cleared her throat after a pause, saying, “Can I not go?”

The assistant shook his head in silence.

Qiao Lian: …

This whole building belonged to Lu Nanze. If she tried to run, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Everyone would be after her before she could even get out and, at that point it would be impossible to escape.

So she must not panic at this point.

As this thought sank in, she immediately smiled and looked up at the assistant, saying, “Let’s go then.”

She would just have to play by ear.

And even if she was busted, at worst there would be a showdown.

She steeled her faith at this thought.

They took the director’s private elevator up to the penthouse

Indeed, the atmosphere in the penthouse office was oppressive. The secretary staff worked with their heads lowered, trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. The awkwardness was extremely uncomfortable.

As Qiao Lian walked out of the elevator, she could feel the staleness of the atmosphere. She turned to look and noticed that the door to the stairs was locked.

This elevator…

Crestfallen, she finally understood why Shen Liangchuan had been worried about her all of this time.

Now, even if she wanted to run, there was no way out.

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, they arrived at the office.

The assistant raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Lu Nanze’s devilishly charming voice was heard coming from within the room, “Come in.”

The assistant held the door open for Qiao Lian.

She walked through, turned around and looked at him. He then retreated in an unkind manner and immediately shut the door. It was written all over his expression: look out for yourself.
