Chapter 293: Chapter 293: That’s No Way to Treat a Boss, It’s Inappropriate (1) Chapter 293: Chapter 293: That’s No Way to Treat a Boss, It’s Inappropriate (1) The next day, Lu Wanwan caught a little cold.
“Xiaolu, are you sick?” the lady next to her desk asked after she sneezed a few times.
She nodded, “I have a slight cold, but it’s not too serious, no big deal.”
“I heard the boss is also sick.” The lady looked at her, “You two didn’t have umbrellas yesterday, did you get rained on?”
“He is sick?” Lu Wanwan was suddenly shocked.
Having known him so long, she had rarely seen him sick. Was it because of the rain yesterday?
“Yeah, he didn’t look too good. Linda even said she would go buy medicine for him, but I don’t know the exact situation,” the lady said as if enjoying the gossip.
Lately, Linda has been openly and secretly dissatisfied with Lu Wanwan many times, all because she thought too highly of the new boss.
Just yesterday, when Linda heard that Lu Wanwan had let President Gu give her a ride home, Linda’s expression immediately changed.
“Linda is back,” the lady hurriedly asked, “So, did she buy the medicine?”
Linda said with distress, “I bought cold medicine, but he didn’t take it, told me to rush through today’s tasks. But seeing him sick, how could I focus on work?”
Lu Wanwan thought to herself, what does Gu Annan being sick have to do with whether you feel like working?
She stared at the computer for a while but eventually couldn’t sit still and found an excuse to go upstairs.
Watching her leave, Linda whispered, “She started acting all special, always afraid of meeting President Gu, but behind the scenes, she keeps scheming to hook up with him. Now she doesn’t even want to pretend to work and is so eager to show her concern.”
The lady looked at her gossipingly, “It’s nothing big, who among the singles on this floor can say their heart doesn’t race when they see President Gu? How can a girl in her early twenties keep her composure?”
Linda sighed, that was indeed true.
However, seeing how proactive Lu Wanwan was behind the scenes made her a bit anxious.
It’s not like the boss would fancy Lu Wanwan, with their worlds apart statuses, but it still made her uncomfortable.
As Lu Wanwan exited the elevator, she kept telling herself that it was just a subordinate’s normal concern for her superior.
Although it was his own fault for not bringing an umbrella and getting wet, he did, after all, give her a ride home. Morally and rationally, shouldn’t she check on him?
“Miss Lu? Miss Lu, it’s so good that you’re here.”
Before she even got to the office, she heard Zhao Chen’s voice behind her.
Zhao Chen jogged up to her and fished out a few boxes of medicine from her bag, handing them to her, “Miss Lu, I have a bit of an emergency, please make sure President Gu takes these medicines. At least to bring down the fever. Otherwise, if it drags on, he’ll have to go to the hospital.”
“He has a fever? Why is he at work with a fever!”
Zhao Chen smiled, “President Gu doesn’t think it’s a big deal, but no one’s body is really made of iron, and he’s not a god. Plus, you know what kind of person he is; he doesn’t like others treating him as a patient, so I’m really worried about how to get him to take his medicine. It’s so good that you’re here, Miss Lu, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Lu Wanwan thought to herself, she was quite helpless with him too.
“Go ahead with your work then,” she unwittingly took on the task without demur.
As she approached the office, the assistant saw her, “Lu Wanwan, do you need something from President Gu?”
“What is it?” The assistant hadn’t received any new orders and needed to ask in detail.
The other day, the boss had specifically instructed that if Lu Wanwan came looking for him, to send her away.
“Personal matter.” Lu Wanwan said nonchalantly.
“Sorry, that won’t be possible,” the assistant smiled, “This is work hours, and… there are too many who want to see President Gu for private matters.”
“Knock, knock, knock” She bypassed the assistant and knocked directly on the door.
