59 The Person Hiding in My Memory 9 (2/2)

Su Zhinian collapsed onto the sofa rather tiredly. He massaged the middle of his brows and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw an exquisitely decorated birthday cake box.

Su Zhinian stopped moving and then he turned to study the box. After that, he stood up slowly and walk over to the box. From the clear packaging on the top, his attention was lost looking at the crème fraiche cake within.

The office door was pushed open following a series of knocks. Su Zhinian frowned as he turned around. Cheng Qingchong walked in hurriedly, balancing a series of documents in her arms. ”CEO Su, these documents require your immediate…”

Cheng Qingchong paused when she saw the cake beside Su Zhinian before continuing in a normal tone, ”… signature.”

Su Zhinian nodded as he took the documents. He flipped through them easily, and after ascertaining they had no problem, he walked around the office table and signed them. Su Zhinian handed them back to Cheng Qingchong. As his secretary turned to leave, Su Zhinian suddenly called after her.

”Wait.”

Cheng Qingchong turned around with surprise. ”CEO Su, do you have other orders?”

Su Zhinian's lips were forced into a thin line. After three seconds of silence, he pointed at the cake and said, ”Toss this out.”

Every year on this date, Su Zhinian would call her to order a birthday cake in the morning, and he would have her toss it away in the evening.

Even though this had happened without fault every year, Cheng Qingchong was still startled for a moment before nodding and replying with a soft ”yes” as she carried the cake out of his office.
