“You!” she hissed in warning at him through clenched teeth.
He paid no attention, of course. Mo Jiangye did not let her go until the end of the journey.
“We’ve arrived at our destination, Young Master,” announced the driver when they reached an office building. The large letters ‘MTR’ were hanging over them.
They proceeded to alight from the car. While the woman was doing so, her legs momentarily gave way for a moment and she nearly stumbled to the ground.
As he took her hand in his, he led her into the building.
Inside, the people coming and going appeared to be very busy and swiftly left to do their own things after greeting Mo Jiangye with a soft murmur.
“Wait for me here. I’ll be back in an hour.” The man led her to his office so she could wait there while he went to his meeting.
“Okay.”
The minimal office felt warm and comforting, and photos of her could be found everywhere within the room, be it on the bookshelves, the flower stand, or the decorative racks. His desk was decorated with solo shots of her and photos they had taken together.
Among those photos were many candid shots of her either cooking, sleeping, or just walking.
I never realized that I was being photographed…
Knock, knock, knock went the door before a lady in professional work attire entered the room, hauling a big grocery bag.
“The President told me to pass this to you.”
Ye Erruo went forward and collected the bag, which contained a bunch of snacks, from her.
“May I know what you would like to drink?” The lady ventured further inside the office.
The office pantry had everything, including coffee, milk tea, tea leaves, and soy milk powder.
“I’m neither thirsty nor hungry.”
“Alright. The President will only be back in an hour or so. You can read a book or watch some TV programs while you pass the time in his office.”
“I got it, thanks. You can get back to work.”
“Okay. Just come look for me if you need anything. I’ll be in the office next to yours.”
She nodded in acknowledgment.
The lady then left with a bunch of documents in her arms.
It was very warm in the room, so Ye Erruo soon started to feel hot under her thick layers of clothes. After stripping off her outer coat, she toured around the office before eventually coming to a stop before a small rack with a display of a colony of rabbits.
They were the rabbits they had bought during their trip to the private estate.
The rack was filled entirely with little bunnies that looked particularly comical in this minimal office.
She could not resist giving the bunny’s ears a pinch before she eventually went to lie on the sofa with a pair of bunnies in her arms while she scanned her surroundings.
There was another knock on the door at that moment.
A woman in thick, gaudy makeup entered, holding a document in her hand.
She was stupefied to find a stranger lying on the sofa with the bunnies in her arms. “Who are you? Don’t you know that the things in the President’s office can’t be touched?”
Ye Erruo turned to look at the intruder. “Pardon?”
The woman was instantly rendered speechless as she gawked at the other person. Despite seeing this woman in the photos found in their President’s office many times, she had not expected that such a ravishing person would truly exist in this world.
“O-Oh. I apologize for the intrusion.” This must be our President’s wife. “Is the President—”
“He’s gone to a meeting.”
“Ah, I see. I heard that he was in the office today, so I brought over a document that needs his signature. Could I trouble you to inform him about this when he returns?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s no trouble at all.”
Knock, knock went the door yet again before another person came in with a huge stack of documents.
“Eh? Sis Hua, you’re here too. Quick, come and take this from me.”
“Why are there so many documents?”
“It can’t be helped since the President hasn’t been coming to the office. I’ve taken care of everything else. All that’s left are these documents, which require his signature.”
“Where’s PA Bo Yu?”
“Beats me. These documents were sent to him long ago, but no one has signed them so far.”
“Leave them here. I’ll inform Mo Jiangye when he returns.”
That person’s head snapped in her direction at once.
