Mo Ran frowned, "I don’t have his phone number, how can I make an appointment?"
"...Why don’t you register first? I can pass the message to her for you."
Mo Ran had no choice but to fill out a registration form.
She never knew that seeing Gu Yixuan would be so difficult, and quite troublesome at that.
In the past, she never had to seek him out, as he would always appear before her whenever. She even thought CEOs had a lot of free time, little did she know they could be so stand-offish.
For those who wanted to see him, they had to go through layer after layer of strict gatekeeping.
After completing the form, Mo Ran didn’t immediately leave. Instead, she sat on the sofa in the lobby, hoping to wait for Gu Yixuan to finish work.
Gu Yixuan had changed his number, and it was no longer the one she had. She thought about calling his grandmother, but her number was unreachable now.
Without his phone number, Mo Ran could only resort to this primitive method of waiting like a sitting duck.
As she waited, she dozed off leaning on the sofa.
She slept until the building was about to close, when a security guard came to wake her up, "Miss, we are off work now. If you have any business, you can come back tomorrow."
"Off work?" Mo Ran stood up in a daze, "What about your CEO? Has he left already?"
How could she have fallen asleep? This was terrible. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0velFire.ɴet
The security guard smiled slightly, "The CEO can leave work at any time. He’s been gone for a while."
"When did he leave? Why didn’t I see him?" She had only fallen asleep briefly, and she had been attentive to the people coming and going in the lobby before.
The security guard patiently explained, "The CEO has a private elevator that goes directly to the underground parking garage."
In other words, he didn’t go through the main hall.
Mo Ran felt deflated, realizing she had waited in vain.
"Thank you," she nodded to the security guard and then walked out of the Gu Family Building.
After looking around the building, Mo Ran finally found their parking garage.
But there were guards at the entrance, and she couldn’t get in. It seemed that she would have to continue waiting at the entrance tomorrow.
Back home, Mo Ran turned on the TV. The news was broadcasting the story of Gu Yixuan’s return everywhere. It also mentioned that the Gu Family would hold a press conference next Monday to answer questions from reporters.
Mo Ran quickly grabbed paper and a pen, jotting down the location and time. She would try her luck by going there; maybe she could see him.
As she reached for her cup to take a drink of water, she thought of him again.
The cotton slippers she wore on her feet were also his.
The photo on her bedroom nightstand was still his.
