Chapter 718 Still on vacation (1/2)
As Yue Ling's car drives away from the house, Lu Tian returns inside. It was already 7:30 in the morning, but he wasn't going to work until after lunch as he needed to be somewhere else.
*Ring ring
He had had only taken a seat at the dining table when his phone rings from his pocket. He held his phone and seeing the name of the caller, he answers the call.
”Speak.”
[”Boss, it's me.”]
From the other line, Xu Long's jolly voice sounds like he was having a great morning.
[”I called to remind you about today's important meeting with Manager He.”]
Lu Tian doesn't answer right away but puts the call on the speaker then set the phone down.
”Xu Long, are you calling because you don't want to be on vacation anymore?”
[”…”]
The line goes quiet for a long minute, but it was still connected.
[”Heh… heh… what call? This is James Long Bond. Xu Long is still on vacation. Bye.”]
The call ends leaving Lu Tian to shake his head. He doesn't bother with his assistant weird behavior and continues to eat breakfast alone in the kitchen.
In the distance where Jade Condos stood, Xu Long who is oblivious to the situation his boss and lady boss had gone through sat on his bed. He tosses his phone aside and falls back to lay down as he stares up at the ceiling.
”Sheesh, how can he be so cold? All I wanted to do was to remind you about the important meeting.”
He turns to lay on his side and stare at the huge window in his new bedroom.
”I want to enjoy my vacation, but I also want to go to work…”
Heaving a long and depressing sigh, he stares at the sky outside.
He couldn't go back to sleep because he is too used to waking up early for work. However, what is supposed to do now?
Sighing again, he moves the blanket off of him and gets outs of bed. His exposed figure wearing only a black brief comes into view and he puts on a peach-colored robe but doesn't secure it in place.
”What to do, what to do…”
He mumbles to himself then looks at the balcony door. Realizing he has never stepped out to the balcony since he moved in, he decides to go check it out.
”Oh my, what a beautiful view.”
As he stepped outside, he yawns his words without any care about the world and stretches his arms far apart with his chest stuck out. In a great mood, he slightly bends forward to exercise and touches his toes with his left hand as his right-hand kept in midair.
His eyes glance to the right of him then he switches arms. However, realizing something, he froze in place.
He struggles a hard gulp that made his Adam's apple bob and he slowly turns his head back to look at his right.
