It was approaching noon when Cheng Yunzhi checked her inbox.
Then she got up and went outside.
The assistant's seat was empty, and Cheng Yunzhi frowned, "Where's Xiaoliu?"
A male colleague nearby quickly spoke up, "Sister Liu went to take a call."
"How long has she been gone?"
Perhaps seeing that Cheng Yunzhi's expression was amiss, he hesitated a bit, "She just left, hasn't been long."
Cheng Yunzhi turned and went back to her office.
After 12 o'clock, she picked up her phone and dialed her assistant's number.
[I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently on another call...]
Fingers tapping anxiously on the desk, Cheng Yunzhi's patience was almost completely worn thin.
...
In the hallway, Xiaoliu was being affectionate with her boyfriend when she suddenly heard a door opening. She hurriedly said, "I can't talk now, gotta hang up."
After hanging up, she walked a few steps to the side and indeed saw Cheng Yunzhi standing by the fire door one floor below.
