Gu Tiantian, who was waiting for the elevator, noticed Bai Chenyao hadn’t spoken on the other end of the phone. Seeing the elevator was about to arrive, she reluctantly spoke up.
"A Yao, it’s me, Gu Tiantian."
In a battle of patience, she ultimately couldn’t outlast Bai Chenyao!
With her head down, holding the phone with one hand and fidgeting with her clothes with the other, Gu Tiantian stared at her shoes, waiting for Bai Chenyao to speak.
The deep, cold voice came from the other end of the call.
The call fell silent again. Gu Tiantian frowned, realizing they had nothing more to say. Keeping the call going only benefitted the mobile company, making her want to hang up.
"It’s nothing, just calling to say I’ve woken up. There’s nothing else, and I’m waiting for the elevator, so how about I hang up?"
Look, how good her attitude is!
On the other end, Bai Chenyao’s icy voice came again.
Gu Tiantian, who was ready to hang up, was slightly stunned listening to this.
Where Bai Chenyao couldn’t see, she made a grimace at the phone.
Following Bai Chenyao’s lead, Gu Tiantian asked again.
After a long pause, Bai Chenyao’s low, chilly voice came through, even colder than before.
If there’s nothing, then hang up!
Seriously wasting money on phone bills!
Thinking it was her who made the call, she realized it had been almost twenty minutes.
A twenty-minute call, how many sentences did they actually exchange? So not worth it.
The ache in her heart, Bai Chenyao doesn’t lack money, but she does.
And she still has things to do; seeing the elevator had arrived, Gu Tiantian hurriedly spoke.
"A Yao, the elevator’s here, I’m hanging up now, wait a moment—"
Plainly stated, yet that threatening cold tone made Gu Tiantian hesitate.
"A Yao, I want to visit grandma on the tenth floor; there’s poor signal in the elevator."
This was a genuine reason, hoping Bai Chenyao could understand.
Unfortunately, Bai Chenyao didn’t understand or comply at all.
Gu Tiantian was utterly helpless, secretly wishing she could break Bai Chenyao into pieces. How could someone be so unreasonable and domineering?
Unfortunately, in her last life, she must’ve destroyed the galaxy, and in this life, she met him!
Heaven treats her... damn, a bit too well!
The only consolation was that there was no one else in the elevator besides her.
Otherwise, Gu Tiantian wouldn’t know just how embarrassed she’d be.
In reality, Gu Tiantian was overthinking; even if there were people in the elevator, she was just on a phone call, not standing face-to-face with Bai Chenyao in the elevator.
Probably still groggy, her intelligence was stuck.
On the other end, Bai Group’s upper-level office.
The executives sat solemnly, looking at the documents in front of them.
Their minds had long been stirred by the President’s few words.
Definitely new gossip!
The President answered a call during the meeting!
And it’s definitely a personal call, not remotely related to work!
What did the President say?
The President only said five sentences.
Five words, each with just three characters.
For the Cold President, who typically summarises phone calls with a single "get lost," this was explosively incredible news!
Seeing the Cold President still holding the phone, listening, but no longer speaking, the tiny bubbles of gossip in the executives’ hearts couldn’t stop rising.
