Although she didnāt know what had happened, it seemed like the lady of the house had run away...
The CEO had just disembarked from his flight. He chose not to rest or attend any meetings, his sole purpose was to find his wife, a matter entirely unrelated to Lin Qiang.
"Really? What kind of pet? What does it look like? Iāll have everyone help look for it."
"No need," Gu Liancheng rejected once again, his tone devoid of warmth, "You only have one assistant?"
Gu Liancheng wasnāt asking directly to avoid making Lin Qiang suspect that his goal was to find Eleven.
But upon hearing his question, Lin Qiang thought he was being considerate, "No, thereās another assistant."
Xiao Man interjected, "Sheās in the restroom with a sudden stomachache but donāt worry, weāll take good care of Sister Qiangās work, Mr. Gu."
"Good." Key information obtained!
The restroom!
After their entire party had left, Xiao Man was still excited, "I canāt believe I got to see Mr. Gu in my lifetime... Heās truly handsome! Truly, Iām not lying!"
"Why didnāt you warn me earlier that Mr. Gu was coming!" Lin Qiang was still frustrated over their sudden attack.
Realizing what she meant, Xiao Man quickly added, "This is so rare, Mr. Gu usually doesnāt bother with SA Companyās affairs. Yet today, he specifically made an excuse to see Sister Qiang. Sister Qiang, your face is truly big! No other female artist at SA Company has ever been visited personally by Mr. Gu while at work!"
The story about looking for a pet doesnāt sound convincing at all.
But no one had ever seen Gu Liancheng leaving his house with a pet!
Xiao Manās words had the effect of turning Lin Qiangās anger into joy, she felt a little happy inside.
"Well of course, who do you think I am." As she said this, a smirk appeared at the corners of her mouth.
...
The bodyguards blocked off all paths leading to the restroom. No one could go in during this duration. The people coming out of the restroom ran away in panic upon seeing the situation, afraid of getting involved in any troublesome issues.
Eleven had been hiding in the restroom for quite a bit of time. She believed that even if Gu Liancheng went to block Lin Qiang, once he failed to find her, he should have left by now. Could it be safe for her to leave now?
Wait another minute!
Watching every second pass.
That should be enough time, right?
Only then did Eleven pull open the door to leave.
The moment she opened the door, she was startled by the scene in front of her!
The entrance to the restroom was guarded by bodyguards dressed uniformly in black. She turned her head to see Gu Liancheng leaning against a wall, scaring her so much that she moved away quickly. Her heart shriveled up, she placed a hand on her chest, taking in several deep breaths, "You scared me to death standing here so soundlessly!"
"How should I have stood here then? Should I have yelled inside, āFang Eleven, hurry up and come outā?"
He knew there was no one inside. Of course, he could have just barged in directly, but he didnāt.
Like a cheetah, he silently stood at the door, waiting for the prey to walk into his mouth willingly.
"I... had a stomachache..." Eleven gave a guilty explanation.
"Is that so? How about now?" The most terrifying thing about Gu Liancheng was his ability to maintain a calm conversation even when extremely angry.
But to Elevenās ears, it sounded like... a silent threat.
Knowing that she couldnāt keep the secret from him, she weakly confessed, "Itās fine now, I donāt feel the pain anymore..."
"Then, Miss Fang, shall we have a cup of coffee?" he suggested mockingly.
Eleven smiled.
Could she refuse?
...
Eleven seriously felt that his intention in bringing bodyguards today was to intimidate her.
He said he wanted to have coffee, but Gu Liancheng only ordered a cup for himself and an orange juice for Eleven.
He had booked the whole cafƩ, he needed a quiet space to deal with their issues.
Eleven quietly sipped her orange juice, praying to the heavens that he wasnāt that angry.
