Chapter 182 Hands are tied (2/2)

Looking down at the slender hand, Lin Hui pout his lip. He could already guess where Ming Yue was trying to go with this. He may have been taught to be polite to women, but...

Holding the laptop with both his hands, he raise it higher for the woman to see.

”My hands are tied. If you'll excuse me, I have to get going.”

Not waiting, Lin Hui turns around and leaves behind a speechless Ming Yue. If it had been any other woman, he might have been more polite, but it was Ming Yue. The woman is scheming behind the most important person in his life.

Rooted to the ground, Ming Yue stare as Lin Hui's figure disappears after he stepped into the elevator. Even she did not know how she got back to desk. She could only not believe that he would turn her down like this...

*ring ring*

Back in Yue Ling's office, she was in the middle of work when she hears the sound of her personal phone ringing. Reaching for it, she frowns when seeing who is calling. After three rings, she swipes the screen and answer.

”Han Yue Ling speaking.”

[”Boss, I apologize for disturbing you, but it's urgent.”]

Hearing the word 'urgent', Yue Ling's frown deepens. When she moved to Imperial, she had made sure to inform the others to only contact her when it's important. Since this person called and said it was urgent, something must have happened.

”What is it?”

[”It's about....”]

Yue Ling felt as if her heart had stopped when she heard what her subordinate had to say. Steadying herself quickly, she calms down.

”Tell me everything.”

[”Boss, it's like this.....”]

Yue Ling sat behind her desk and listens attentively to her subordinate's words. Every so often, she will let a faint 'mm' escape from her.

”Give me some time to think this over...”

After her conversation with her subordinate, she ends the call and place the phone on her desk.

Her usual calm expression turns into one of pain and distraught...

Standing up, she walks to the floor to ceiling window in her office. Her bluish green eyes stare out to the busy street below as her thoughts wonder to the vast distance.

Never in her life did she think this day would suddenly come. What is she suppose to do now?

”Nn..”

Suddenly, the nausea feeling crawls on her again. Raising her hand, she massages her temple to relax her head.

Taking a deep breath as she massage her head, she glance at the wall clock in her office.

Since she's already taken care of the meeting with An Qing, she'll dismiss her employees home and visit Ting at the hospital.

Of course, she'll remember to get a check up too.
