C7 (1/2)

”Mr. Gu.” Jane took two steps back and cleared her throat in embarrassment. ”I know you don't lack this money, but it seems to me it's a lifesaver, and I'll keep it in mind. As for the orders, I was prepared when I came.”

These words caused Gu Chen to be stunned for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and said, ”I don't know if I've misunderstood you …”

She was actually very ashamed. At this moment, she could not help but beat her retreat, ”Mr. Gu, you should continue working. I … I will leave first.”

”Halt.” Gu Chen was clearly unhappy. He understood that Jane had come to him with thoughts of sacrifice. Was she looking at him as a mere target for carnal desires and exchanges of benefits? This knowledge made him unable to maintain his poise and continue teasing her. He returned to his seat and said, ”Sit there and wait for me to get off work.”

Jane pursed her lips and obediently sat back on the sofa, holding the glass of milk and quietly drinking it.

Jane didn't dare to run out the door, but she couldn't sit still.

She sat on the other side of the sofa, and the man's exquisite face was right in front of her, seriously tapping the keyboard. His brows were furrowed very nicely, but his aura was really strong, making it impossible for her to look at him directly, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if she could see his movements no matter how she looked at him.

It was only then that Jane remembered that her phone had been given to her by Gu Chen. He must have saved her phone number, so she nodded her head vigorously. After giving it some thought, she bent down to say goodbye and left.

Whatever he asked of her, his willingness to help was worth her gratitude.

There were a few women gathered in the tea room when they saw that she didn't seem to care and sized her up. Then, they lowered their heads and whispered, ”Look at her, it can't be the CEO's girlfriend, right?”

”Impossible, just who does the CEO like.”

”Hey, Little Peach, come over here and tell us how was it going when you went in?”

The little girl, Xiaotao, smiled shyly before raising her head to look at the pretty girl who was about to enter the elevator. ”I think maybe the CEO is chasing her. She's pretty and gentle. If only I had her for so long …”

The beautiful female lead, who was being envied and criticized by others, was currently rushing back to the rented apartment in a tired state. She packed her stuff and was just about to leave when the landlady stopped her at the door with a sneer.

”Where have you been these past few days?” The landlord had just burned his curly red hair, his eyebrows were raised and his eyes were closed. His loud voice made Jane flinch.

”Auntie Fang, I …”
