Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 852 - 327: A Sorrowful Fairy Tale—Passing Shadows (Part 2)
The toothpaste was squeezed out, and there was also warm water in the cup, but she just stood still.
With a blank expression, she looked at Lu Huai’an and asked, "From now on, we’re strictly separating personal and business matters, are we?"
Lu Huai’an pulled a towel over the girl’s face, his eyes lingering on the half-hidden snow-softness, a flicker of restlessness rising deep within his dark eyes.
His deep voice was slightly hoarse, "It’s good that you know."
Lin Chu, "..."
Now it’s perfect, she gets ordered around at the company and still has to be squeezed at home.
Oh heavens, when can she finally turn the tables?
...
All morning, Lin Chu was taken by Lun Jun through the first floor, familiarizing herself with the location of each department and the key personnel. The work of a secretary seems simple, but it’s actually quite complex.
There’s no need to be proficient in everything, but one must understand everything.
The employees of the Lu Family all knew Lin Chu’s identity, so they treated her very politely, even if they were discussing her, it was after she left and never in her presence.
Those who were perceptive understood that the future hostess should not be offended.
Even though the Lu Family hadn’t entirely been handed over to Mr. Lu yet, it was only a matter of time.
Lun Jun delivered the newly submitted plan to the president’s office, and before he could leave, Lu Huai’an called out to him.
Without moving his expression, he browsed the emails on the computer screen, "What is she doing?"
Her desk was just outside, and he hadn’t heard any movement for half a day.
Lun Jun, of course, knew who his boss meant by ’she,’ and replied with a smile, "Madam is a bit tired, she’s... resting in the tea room."
The word ’resting’ was quite subtle.
Lu Huai’an’s hand paused on the mouse, then returned to normal a few seconds later, "You may leave."
Lun Jun nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes."
...
Lin Chu had never admired working women more than she did now.
Wearing high heels, at the boss’s command, you must run, sitting in the office is better, not as exhausting, but she couldn’t manage.
She lay weakly over the desk, unable even to finish her coffee.
When Jiang Muzhou’s call came in, it startled the dozing Lin Chu awake, almost causing her to fall from her chair.
"Did you know that that brat Gao Jian was taken down? The news is very tightly sealed. My dad’s friend performed the surgery on him. I heard he was in the ICU for three days before he was out of danger. I inquired, and it seems he’ll spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed."
Over the phone, Jiang Muzhou got more and more excited, even crossed his legs.
"I haven’t even gotten around to troubling him, and the heavens saw fit to deal with him first. Truly, disasters can’t last a thousand years, sooner or later a hero will teach him how to write the word ’father.’"
Lin Chu’s drowsiness was immediately driven away.
Standing up from her chair, she checked behind her to make sure no one else was there before asking, "Is the news accurate?"
Ever since the incident with Jin Jue, she hadn’t slept well.
Ji Huan called her to say not to tell Ji Wanxia, so she couldn’t speak.
Gao Jian’s parents had connections in An City’s political circle that were far wider than she expected, they sealed off the news of their son’s injury very tightly.
Like a pebble cast into a lake, after the slight ripples dissipated, it was just as calm.
She had visited the Ji Family but was gently turned away at the door.
Lu Huai’an told her that Ji Huan was still working normally, so far, neither the Ji Family nor the Gao Family had made any moves.
"That’s about it, although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, my dad’s friend wouldn’t dare exaggerate in front of him either."
Jiang Muzhou detected a hint of something in Lin Chu’s calm tone.
If it were her usual self, she would have jumped up by now.
"Do you know who did it?"
Lin Chu did not deny it either, "I’m in the office; it’s inconvenient to talk. I’ll call you back when I get home tonight."
"Alright, you get busy, little secretary."
Less than half a minute after ending the call with Jiang Muzhou, Lin Chu’s phone rang again.
It was Lu Huai’an calling.
Since he wasn’t in front of her, Lin Chu maintained the same leisurely demeanor, but her tone was very respectful, "Mr. Lu, is there anything you need?"
"Brew a cup of coffee and bring it to the office."
Listen to the emotionless command-like request...
The workplace rules dictate that you can’t defy the boss’s wishes, Lin Chu bit her lip and smiled, "Alright, please wait a moment."
Lu Huai’an doesn’t like sweetness, even in coffee, he doesn’t add sugar. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Lin Chu pretended not to know, added milk, and then half a measure of sugar.
When she delivered it to the president’s office, seeing Lu Huai’an in a suit sitting in the black soft chair flipping through documents, she embarrassingly got lost in thought.
