Chapter 281: Chapter 281 President Gu, We Agreed to Keep Work and Personal Life Separate (1) Chapter 281: Chapter 281 President Gu, We Agreed to Keep Work and Personal Life Separate (1) But when she stormed out of Gu Mansion and broke off their engagement, she didn’t say it was because she misunderstood his relationship with Ji Jiayi; she said she didn’t need him anymore.
Of course, that was said in anger!
It was exactly when she saw him with Jiayi that she realized, she thought she could sell her body and compromise only because he was Gu Annan.
If it were someone else, she couldn’t do it, nor could she even dare to think about it.
After all, her need for him wasn’t what she had imagined it to be.
So, even though she should have looked the other way, she couldn’t accept it at all.
“Um…” Just as she was about to speak up, the elevator door opened.
Gu Annan turned his head, didn’t get off, and waited for her to speak.
“I mean… the elevator is here, President Gu.”
Gu Annan, with a cold expression, turned back and quickly walked out of the elevator.
As soon as they reached the office floor, Kevin saw him and was delighted, “President Gu, dinner is ready. Little Liu asked me to prepare it for you before he left.”
Gu Annan just hummed a response, without slowing down his pace.
Seeing Lu Wanwan following closely behind, Kevin was stunned, “Why is it you again?”
Lu Wanwan forced a troubled smile, “I was assigned to run errands here.”
Kevin looked at her with envy and jealousy, sighing deeply, “Go on then. But there is only the meal prepared for President Gu, none for you.”
What kind of sour tone is that? She didn’t even have an appetite yet.
“It’s okay, Director, I don’t eat in the evenings anyway, I’m on a diet,” she said sincerely.
“You women really know how to torment yourselves, huh,” Kevin snorted, turning his head and walking away.
Entering the office, Gu Annan was leaning against the desk, arms folded, “Dieting?”
“Just a bit,” she didn’t feel like explaining.
Gu Annan scanned her from top to bottom, and indeed, she had lost weight over the month.
“So, this is the result of your recent dieting? Lu Wanwan, are you trying to lose the only advantage you have? Then you’d really be unbearable to look at.”
Lu Wanwan followed his gaze and looked down…
Her face instantly reddened, and she covered her chest.
“President Gu, we agreed to keep things professional!”
He glanced toward the open door, “Close the door.”
“Why should I close the door?” She was alert, having deliberately left the door open before.
Gu Annan gave her a warning look, without saying a word.
“I’m not closing it!” She resolutely ignored his unreasonable demand.
“You want a demerit on your record?” he asked indifferently, “You’ve already resigned once; if this internship also ends prematurely, do you think you’ll still graduate?”
“President Gu, please quickly assign me some work tasks,” she urged.
Gu Annan caught sight of the pizza and some snacks on the coffee table, still steaming.
Lu Wanwan remembered they were prepared by the director for him and rushed to say, “President Gu, you should eat first, I won’t disturb you. Just tell me what I need to do, and then you can eat.”
But Gu Annan seemed to regard the pizza with a bit of disdain.
She recognized this pizza place; it was famous nearby and often had long queues.
The director really made an effort, too bad the bootlicking didn’t hit the mark.
Since when did Gu Annan fancy this kind of fast food? It was she who loved to eat it.
“Go eat,” he commanded, “I can’t stomach this kind of thing.”
“President Gu, if you don’t like it, it’s fine to just leave it there. Can you first tell me what I am supposed to do?”
“Haven’t I already told you?” He gave her a look that questioned her intelligence, “Go eat first. If I just throw away what a subordinate brought in, do you think that’s appropriate? Odds and ends are all I need you to do, and this is the first task.”
