Chapter 841 - Tell her after (1/2)
While Yue Ling enjoyed a short reunion with her subordinates, afternoon soon came to Imperial as a black car pulls up to Rosewood Hotel.
The driverside door opens, and Xu Long steps out into view. He doesn't waste any time and quickly walks to the rear to open the door.
As he opens the door, Lu Tian steps out dressed in his usual black attire. After making a phone call to City Z to talk to Chief Kim, he came here to meet Grandfather Ji for lunch.
”Good afternoon, Mr. Lu. We've been expecting your arrival.”
A middle-aged man greets Lu Tian with a polite smile. He is none other than the hotel manager.
When he heard that Lu Tian was coming to the hotel for lunch, he ensured that the place was cleaned spotless. After all, the young owner of the hotel is a clean freak.
”General Ji and Mr. Zhong are waiting inside for you.”
He spoke in a calm and natural voice, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the black car. It was as if he was expecting to see someone come out.
Xu Long saw where the manager's eyes were looking, and he pouts his lip. He scratches the side of his head in confusion and looks inside the back seat of the car.
However, it was empty.
”Why is he staring so intensely when there's no one? Were we expecting someone?”
He murmured to himself, not knowing that Lu Tian and the manager could hear him.
Lu Tian held his indifferent demeanor, but inside he was beyond dumbfounded by his assistant. He decides to ignore the man and looks at the hotel manager.
”My wife isn't here. I will be meeting Grandfather Ji alone for lunch.”
He knew the hotel manager was looking so hard. Especially now that their relationship is known to the world, everyone associated with him wants to meet his wife.
The hotel manager's face flushed red hearing the words 'my wife' from Lu Tian.
He quickly looks away from the car. He sounds a laugh to hide his embarrassment and clears his throat.
”I don't know what you are talking about, but you should have brought her here for lunch.”
It turned out he (hotel manager) wasn't expecting his (Xu long) boss but his boss lady. The hotel manager shot Xu Long a glare before smiling at Lu Tian again. He chuckles a second time before gesturing towards the hotel entrance.
”Come. It would be best if you didn't make the grandfather of your wife wait too long. It will not be a good impression.”
Lu Tian wasn't bothered by the man's joking words. He nods his head lightly, and strides in the direction pointed.
If it had been someone else who spoke such words, he would have silenced them.
However, the hotel manager is a person he respects and one of the few people who watched him grow up.
Xu Long kept a steady pace behind his boss and the hotel manager. He stares at the tall figure in front of him with a dazed expression.
His boss has really changed since the boss lady appeared. The man's answers were longer now, and he no longer gives people the death glare.
Unbeknown to the assistant's thoughts, Lu Tian is lead to the restaurant on Rosewood Hotel's rooftop.
”Ah, Lu boy! Over here.”
The second Lu Tian stepped foot on the rooftop, Grandfather Ji's voice calls out to him. He looks in the direction of the old man and walks over to the table.
”Grandfather Ji. Uncle Zhong.”
He nods a polite greeting to the two elderly men before taking a seat across from Grandfather Ji.
At the same time, Xu Long didn't act like an assistant and plopped down on the seat opposite Zhong Yang.
”Oh, Ah Ling didn't come with you?”
Grandfather Ji couldn't help but ask. He had invited Lu Tian for lunch, but since he knows the young man is always pinned to his granddaughter, he thought the two would arrive together.
Hearing the question, Lu Tian sighs a faint smile as his wife's face appears in his mind.
”She's settling the situation at An Qing today.”
If she weren't, he would have gone to her company and picked her up. However, he had to refrain from doing so as he knows how important it was for his wife.
”Ah, I see.”
As he thought this, his expression turns into one of guilt.
