" - Ou Yunchen on the phone -
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, what are your instructions?"
Ou Yunchen: "Is Shu Yi here?"
Liu Jinhua: "Yes, yes, yes, he's in the studio taking photos."
Ou Yunchen: "Su Ruiyi will be down in a moment."
Liu Jinhua: "Miss Su is here, okay, okay, I understand, I'll arrange it."
Ou Yunchen: "My meaning is, don't let them meet!"
Liu Jinhua: "Boss?"
- Ou Yunchen ends the call -
Ou Yunchen slammed the phone down on the table, startling everyone in the conference room into silence.
Ruby: "Boss? Are you not satisfied with the proposal?"
Ou Yunchen: "Ahem, it's very good, continue."
Finally, it was time to get off work. Su Ruiyi was even more punctual than the clock-out time, returning from Xi'ou exactly one minute before quitting time.
However, overtime was a common occurrence at AtL, sometimes even past midnight.
Ou Yunchen: "Continue with what?"
Su Ruiyi tilted her face up slightly and pouted.
Ou Yunchen smiled, then cupped Su Ruiyi's chin and slowly leaned in towards her face.
Su Ruiyi compliantly closed her eyes. Just as Ou Yunchen's breath touched her face…
"Ding."
The elevator stopped on some unknown floor.
Su Ruiyi immediately pushed Ou Yunchen away. The unsuspecting Ou Yunchen hit his head, clutching it in pain and glaring furiously at Su Ruiyi.
Su Ruiyi: "Shu Yi!!!"
Shu Yi: "Miss Su, ah, President Ou, you're here too."
Liu Jinhua: "Boss? Getting off work so late."
Ou Yunchen: "Yes!"
Liu Jinhua looked at Su Ruiyi, then at Ou Yunchen, who seemed angry for some reason. She turned away in distress, trying to recall her actions throughout the day; she hadn't done anything wrong…
Su Ruiyi sidled up to Shu Yi: "Shu Yi, weren't you not at Xi'ou today? I looked for you this afternoon, and Manager Liu said you weren't there."
Shu Yi: "I was here, I've been here all along…"
Liu Jinhua quickly pinched Shu Yi.
Liu Jinhua: "Ah, I remembered wrong, I remembered wrong."
Ou Yunchen: "Ahem!"
Shu Yi: "President Ou, are you not feeling well?"
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, I have some of those throat lozenges for Shu Yi, would you like one?"
Shu Yi: "Yes, Sister Jinhua is really thoughtful, always prepared."
Ou Yunchen: "Ahem, ahem, ahem!!!"
Ou Yunchen's continuous coughing wasn't due to a sore throat. It was because Su Ruiyi, who had been close to him moments ago, now seemed eager to cling to the male celebrity, standing so close to Shu Yi!
Someone was merely jealous…
Shu Yi: "Huh? Miss Su, what perfume are you wearing? It smells wonderful."
Su Ruiyi: "Really? It's not a brand, I just happened to pass by a custom perfume shop in Paris, and the owner created it based on the customer's image."
Shu Yi: "Then you must introduce me, I like having a scent that belongs only to me."
Su Ruiyi: "Okay, then perhaps we can go to Paris together sometime?"
Shu Yi: "Can we? Is that okay?"
Shu Yi turned to look at Liu Jinhua. If Liu Jinhua agreed, Shu Yi could accompany Su Ruiyi to Paris.
Liu Jinhua: "Of course…"
Ou Yunchen: "Ahem!"
Liu Jinhua: "Miss Su, Shu Yi is very busy and doesn't have time."
Su Ruiyi: "Ah? Okay… alright…"
Ou Yunchen stood alone at the back of the elevator, watching the three of them chat animatedly in front. He felt incredibly frustrated.
Finally, the elevator reached the underground parking lot.
Huh? The three of them got out of the elevator together, completely forgetting to let the boss go first?!
Ou Yunchen roared from behind: "Su Ruiyi!"
Su Ruiyi slowly turned her head, looking at Ou Yunchen with surprise.
Ou Yunchen: "Ahem, my, my car is this way."
Su Ruiyi bid Shu Yi a regretful farewell. Women are so fickle!
The moment they saw their favorite idol, they couldn't tear themselves away!
It was absolutely true!!!
But then again, who wasn't a handsome young man in their youth!!!"
