Chapter 30 - See You At Home, Dear Wife (1/2)
"Ms. Kim, bring a set of fresh clothes for Mey." Li Qiao ordered Ms. Kim on their way to his office.
"Yes, Sir," She bowed her head before leaving to follow his orders.
When he entered his office with Xu Mey following behind, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
She knew he was asking about why she didn't tell him before coming to the office.
"I was hungry." She said it like these words would explain everything. But she was not wrong, these words were enough for Li Qiao to know that she didn't want to eat alone and decided to come here on the whim of the second.
He made her sit on the couch and picked his phone to call Ms. Kim again. "Bring food as well." He terminated the call without hearing her reply.
"Go take a shower, your clothes will be here by then." Observing his somber countenance, she quietly walked into the elevator in his office which led to his penthouse.
Ms. Kim was the most efficient person she had ever met in her life. She always completed her task with ease. She was even more efficient and loyal than her own assistant, Qin Hao. By the time she took a shower, a fresh set of clothes was already placed on the bed outside.
It was a jersey top with skinny jeans. Simple... Just what she liked.
After dressing up in new clothes, Xu Mey came back to Li Qiao's office to see him working on his laptop with his other hand holding his phone near the ear. There was food neatly placed on the coffee table at one corner. There were steamed buns, dumplings, hot spicy soup, rice, and some other side dishes.
Xu Mey sat down on the couch while waiting for Li Qiao to join her. She picked her phone to play games to kill time. She was about to get the 1st place in the game when the phone rang making her scowl.
"Hello!" She said with an annoying expression.
"Dear wifey, someone ran away with your food?" Ye Jie's husky amused voice made the scowl on her face to vanish.
"Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Your words are really cruel, dear wife." His voice held a pained tone. "Does a husband need a reason to call his beautiful wife who's working so hard?"
Xu Mey's lips curled a bit upwards. "Don't they?"
