Chapter 295: Chapter 295: That’s No Way to Treat a Boss, It’s Inappropriate (3) Chapter 295: Chapter 295: That’s No Way to Treat a Boss, It’s Inappropriate (3) “There’s nothing in here but a few pieces of scrap paper.”
“Even so, that won’t do!” he said resolutely.
She sat there, heart pounding and on edge, wondering what to do if someone suddenly opened the door.
But her hand was pressed down firmly by his, leaving her unable to rise.
“How about I go to the drugstore and buy another box?” she proposed tentatively, prying his hand open.
Seeing that she was serious, Gu Annan let go, “Hmm.”
Lu Wanwan exhaled in relief and stood up.
His sudden compliance was hard to believe, so she emphasized, “I’m going to buy it, and you have to eat it. I don’t make much, and if you throw it out again, I will be at odds with you.”
“Then hurry up and buy it.” The person in his arms had run off, leaving him inexplicably annoyed.
Fever reducer, cold medicine–she bought the same box as before.
Lu Wanwan wasn’t sure which was best, so she bit the bullet and bought the most expensive one.
She wouldn’t even indulge in medicine for her own colds, preferring to tough it out unless it was serious.
Leaving the drugstore, she went upstairs carrying the plastic bag.
She ran into Linda on her way to lunch. With sharp eyes, Linda caught sight of what was inside her plastic bag, “Xiaolu, what did you buy?”
“Medicine.” She didn’t hide it.
Linda felt put out and deliberately asked in public, “Why aren’t you eating lunch and instead running out to buy medicine? Who is it for?”
“Don’t you see I have a cold?” Lu Wanwan responded candidly and headed straight for the elevator.
Linda’s face suddenly looked a bit displeased, while a curious colleague remarked, “What, you thought she was buying it for President Gu?”
“You believe she bought it for herself? She just came from President Gu’s office before she went to buy medicine.”
“Xiaolu has fallen too, it seems nobody can resist President Gu’s charm.”
Linda huffed coldly. While others might just talk, secretly infatuated, Lu Wanwan was different; she kept quiet but was more proactive than anyone.
Lu Wanwan carried the medicine upstairs.
“Gu Annan, you better keep your word; I’ve already bought the medicine.” This time she didn’t foolishly leave it on the table and walk away; if it got thrown out again, she would really feel the pinch–over a hundred yuan spent.
He took it from her, his slender fingers casually examining the medicine box.
“I can’t take it here.” He set it back down and under Lu Wanwan’s displeasure, slowly explained, “This medicine makes you sleepy.”
She looked around and indeed, there seemed to be no place for him to sleep.
Even if there was, Gu Annan wasn’t likely to settle for a makeshift sleeping spot here.
After all, this wasn’t the luxurious Gu Corporation, where his presidential office came with a rest area.
“Then don’t bother with work this afternoon and go rest instead.”
Gu Annan raised an eyebrow, looking at her, “Are you so confident that I’ll take the medicine if I go back?”
“…” She thought for a moment, “You can take it first, then go back.”
His finger still rested on the medicine box, “If I’m not feeling sharp, it’s dangerous to drive.”
“You obviously have a driver.”
“I don’t have one now.”
So much trouble just to take a pill, she was nearly at her wits’ end, “What will it take for you to take the medicine, you tell me!”
He didn’t reply, just leisurely watched her.
“I’ll go ask for time off.” Lu Wanwan conceded defeat, clutching the two boxes of medicine and preparing to leave, “Hurry up.”
Walking out of the office, she realized, had she lost her mind just now?
He was the one who was sick, so why did it seem like she was the one retreating, pleading with him to comply?
She clenched her fist, deciding to view it as compensation for the last misunderstanding when she hadn’t cared about his injury and just left!
Yes, it was compensation!
Moreover, she was a bit sick herself; taking a day off wasn’t all for his sake.
Asking for leave went smoothly for Lu Wanwan, and when she left the company, she saw Gu Annan’s car waiting for her.
