Chapter 720 Did you even rest? (1/2)

The time soon reach 9 am as the quietness inside De L'amour was replaced with the voices of the workers. Like their boss, a handful of people were still hungover from drinking too much last night, while others felt the same as every other day.

As each person began their usual assignment, on the highest floor, Liu Shan steps out from his office and makes his way for Yue Ling's office.

*Knock knock

”Boss, it's me.”

He sounds a soft knock to alert her of his arrival but hears no response. Thinking she might still be asleep he slowly pushes open the door and enters the room.

”Boss, are you—”

His right foot had only stepped inside the room when he saw that both the couches were empty. He quickly enters and searches for her, but to his surprise, he finds her up and sitting behind her desk.

”Did you even rest?”

He couldn't help but ask as he walks over to her with a frown.

Yue Ling was currently going over the supply contract that is going to be discussed with Cloth Co. She wanted to make sure that everything was perfect.

After all, if the meeting goes well, De L'amour and Cloth Co. will be working together for a while.

When she heard Liu Shan's voice, she looks up at him. Only, this time, it was she who was taken back by surprise to see him standing in front of her desk.

Had she been so focused on the contract that she didn't hear him enter the room?

However, not thinking much about it, she places the contract inside a black file folder.

”I rested enough.”

She spoke her words and stood up from her seat. Holding the holding in one arm, she grabs her work bag and walks out of the room.

”Let's go.”

Liu Shan was left in a dumbfounded state inside her office. He finally returned to his senses and turns around to stare in the direction she had gone.

He can't remember how many times he already did this, but he sighs again and shakes his head before following after her.

”Why do I have a feeling that's a lie?”

As the boss and assistant exit the building, Yue Ling entered the backseat of Liu Shan's car as he takes the driver seat.

Yue Ling tilts her head back and leans against the seat as her eyes close to rest her mind. After Liu Shan left her office, she did rest. However, it was only for ten minutes.

Although it was short, it was enough for her to clear the pounding sensation in her head.

Liu Shan starts the car and drives it out of the parking lot. Once they were on the road, he takes a glance at the rearview mirror to his boss.

He was curious and wanted to ask if she was able to count the stars, but seeing that her eyes were closed, he decides to keep quiet.

Cloth Co. is located on the other side of Imperial and will take a while until they arrive. He knows that she didn't rest properly, so as her assistant, he should let her use this drive to get some rest.

As Yue Ling and Liu Shan head to their meeting with the textile company, neither were aware of the commotion taking place within Imperial Military Hospital.

”How much longer do I have to stay here?”

Inside a private ward, Grandfather Ji sat on the hospital bed with a fury expression. His powerful voice thundered into the hearts of the nurses standing in the room.

However, to Doctor Dong, he felt the old man's voice was like an annoying flea that was asking to be swat.
