Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Don’t Refuse a Toast Only to be Forced to Drink a Penalty (4) Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Don’t Refuse a Toast Only to be Forced to Drink a Penalty (4) Gu Annan’s brows tightened slightly, and he looked at his secretary with a questioning gaze.
It was dissatisfaction with her for not having completed her work.
The secretary hurriedly explained, “Miss Ji planned to wait here for you, and I was trying to persuade her to leave. Miss Ji, please leave.”
Ji Jiayi looked at Gu Annan, still not giving up, “Brother Annan, I can wait until you’re done…”
She even squeezed out a bit of a tearful look, hoping to see indulgence for herself on his face.
But what she saw instead was Gu Annan’s face growing colder, his patience running out.
“If you can’t understand my words, have Ji Shaoyang send someone else next time. Don’t waste my time,” he said, his voice growing cold, articulating every word.
“I’m sorry, Brother Annan,” Ji Jiayi replied unwillingly, her voice still whiny, “Don’t be mad at me, I’ll be careful in the future. Go to your meeting, I’ll leave right away, and come back tomorrow.”
Even though she promised to leave, she still wanted to show off her special status in front of these subordinates.
However, she had only taken a few steps before she stopped again, her crisp voice filled with dissatisfaction as she looked at Lu Wanwan, “Brother Annan, why hasn’t she left yet?”
Lu Wanwan didn’t speak, her face revealing no emotion.
She was as calm as an outsider who was just watching the commotion, not even giving Gu Annan an extra glance.
“Is she really your personal assistant?” Ji Jiayi asked, puzzled.
The look on Gu Annan’s face darkened immediately, his eyes hardening as he looked at Lu Wanwan.
In front of other women, she claimed to be just an assistant, distancing their relationship, indicating she didn’t care about others’ inappropriate thoughts?
“I’ll be going now… See you next time, Brother Annan.”
Ji Jiayi, frightened by his expression, didn’t dare to say more and left promptly.
The assistant behind Gu Annan reminded in a low voice, “President Gu, it’s time for the meeting…”
Lu Wanwan looked up at him, confusion flickering in her eyes, not understanding the sudden anger.
She just watched as the man with the dark expression glared at her harshly before leaving.
By evening, Gu Annan, who had returned from his meeting, passed by the rest area and saw through the floor-to-ceiling glass that Lu Wanwan had already fallen asleep on the table.
The air conditioning in the office was exceptionally strong, yet she slept soundly despite being clad in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.
“Put the documents in my office,” Gu Annan instructed an assistant, then walked towards the rest area.
Standing next to her, Gu Annan felt somewhat at a loss with her; he should have woken her up and taken her away immediately, but she was sleeping so soundly.
He took a thin blanket from the rest area and threw it on her, on purpose, but she didn’t react.
His brows furrowed again, and after a moment’s observation, his handsome face looked quite long. Eventually, he just pulled out a chair and sat down beside her.
His subordinates, leaving work, would curiously sneak glances, astonished.
They could only see President Gu’s profile, but the dark expression was obvious, displaying an impatient sense of helplessness.
Yet he sat there, impatiently and silently, for a whole twenty minutes!
As evening fell, the last overtime employee was also ready to leave. Reaching the door of the rest area, he hesitated to speak, “President Gu, I’ve finished the report…”
“Send it to my email,” his voice still cold.
“Then I’ll head back now… Oh, President Gu, everyone else has already left,” he hinted.
“I know,” Gu Annan replied.
The sound of their conversation finally stirred Lu Wanwan.
She moved her numb arms tiredly.
