C12 (1/2)

”I'm not thinking of anything.” Xia Lan did not dare to look down at him because of his guilty excuse. His eyes were too sharp, it was as if he could see through everything.

Xia Lan lowered her head and unwillingly scolded the man with the venomous tongue tens of times.

Although he did not have any privileges, as long as they saw Gu Xi Jue standing in front of the elevator, everyone knew that they were standing behind him. When the elevator reached, he would always be the first one to go up, and as the CEO Secretary, no one dared to snatch a seat with Xia Lan.

After the two of them went up, the other staff members rushed in. Within a few seconds, the elevator was full of people.

The staff who were rushing over from behind did not know that their Gourmet was inside, seeing that they were about to be late, they could only push them over: ”Sorry, I just squeezed in, and will be late.”

When the people outside squeezed together, the people within unknowingly retreated backwards. Xia Lan was pushed so hard that she had nowhere to retreat to.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Gu Xi Jue saw that she had been squeezed to the point that her neck had shrunk. He quietly moved his feet and took a step towards her, his large body separating her from his male colleagues in front of him and forming an invisible protection posture.

His movements were very natural and coherent, and perhaps others might not notice, but Xia Lan saw it.

She slightly raised her eyes, just in time to meet Gu Xi Jue's gaze. In that instant, like a flint, Angel's small face flushed red and she lowered her head silently.

When she lowered her head, her forehead just happened to be pressed against Gu Xi Jue's chest. The warm feeling made her face feel even hotter, and the sound of his powerful heartbeat just reached her ears.

She rarely had such close contact with men. Her mind was a mess. After an unknown period of time, a teasing voice came from above her head, ”How much longer do I have to wait?”

Xia Lan raised her head with a 'whoosh', and realized that the two of them were the only ones left in the elevator. She suddenly felt very nervous, and didn't even know how to place her hands and feet.

Gu Xi Jue's black eyes swept across the shy woman. At this moment, the elevator opened and he walked out, slowly saying, ”What's there to be shy about, it's not like he had never leaned on one before.”

Only Xia Lan was left standing there in a daze. Since when?

Normally, Gu Xi Jue would be very shameless, and he would even tease Xia Lan a little, but when he was working, he was very serious, and even a bit strict.

Xia Lan, who had just taken over the job, was still not familiar with some of the places, and some mistakes were unavoidable. For example, in the afternoon when she went to the cooperative company's meeting time, she left a very important document in her office.

When Gu Xi Jue asked her for the documents, she couldn't find it.

”What's going on?” Gu Xi Jue's black eyes were filled with a layer of frost.

After searching through all the folders, Xia Lan became anxious, to the point that she was about to cry. She looked at Gu Xi Jue helplessly: ”I seem to have left my documents on the desk.”
