The top floor

Ji Chen retrieved a couple of expedited documents from the pile. After he got Si Zhengting to sign them, he did not dare to disturb him any further.

A group of people stood outside, trembling in fear.

Ji Chen peered into the office through the cracks of the door a couple of times, and each time, Mr. Si was sitting there and staring into space.

It was finally time to get off work, but Si Zhengting had not budged an inch. Everyone outside thus did not dare to move a muscle as well.

Si Zhengting was currently staring at his cell phone.

He was waiting for the usual text or call from Zhuang Nainai after working hours.

It seemed like this was the only way for him to affirm that their relationship was the same as it was yesterday.

But after waiting for more than half an hour, he still did not hear from her.

Could it be that she had already left?

Si Zhengtings expression grew dark. His anger had been boiling inside him for the past day, and there was no sign of it quelling at the present moment.

Si Zhengting abruptly picked up his coat and started to walk out.

After pushing open the door of the office, Ji Chen and the bodyguards followed him in an orderly manner.

Ji Chen stole a glance at his expression and carefully said, Sir, the design team is working overtime today, Madam

Si Zhengting halted, his eyes lowered while his handsome features emitted an unfathomable vibe to Ji Chen. Si Zhengting was deathly still for a moment. When he regained his senses, he realized that everyone else had walked into the elevator; they were staring at him.

Annoyed, Si Zhengting reached out and pressed the button for the first floor.

His bodyguards formed a protective shield around him as he walked out of the doors of the Imperial Groups office. He saw a figure in light green holding countless numbers of takeaway boxes walking away from the He Gu Gu store, which was opposite the Imperial Groups office. The figure was walking steadily but suddenly fell over!

Her lonely and frail body fell onto the ground. This soon attracted the attention of the crowd, which had just got off work.

Her knee and arm were likely scraped due to her fall.

She was holding seven or eight takeaway bags. Two bags of food had splattered onto the ground, and the gravy from the food had dribbled onto her clothes.

Her ponytail was also wet from the gravy, and there was spinach stuck in her hair.

There were a couple of rice grains on her face. It made her look pathetic, but also slightly comedic. Her large eyes reflected how lost and embarrassed she felt. Some members of the crowd were unable to hold back their amusement and started smiling whilst attempting to hide their smiles behind their hands.

However, her first reaction was to check the four remaining takeaway bags to see if the takeaway boxes were also damaged from the fall. When she found that they were fine, she heaved a sigh of relief.

When he saw her like this, a strange feeling tugged at Si Zhengtings heart!

Even though he had hated her so deeply this morning, he could not help but feel that he would destroy the portion of the ground that she had fallen down on!

Without much thought, he quickened his pace and headed toward her. His face was emotionless as usual, reflecting his usually calm demeanor, but his hurried footsteps betrayed how anxious and worried he felt.

Zhuang Nainais entire body hurt her knees, her arms, and especially her face. The warm grains of rice left burning sensations on her face where they had landed.

She seemed to be in a daze from the fall. She lay on the floor, thinking for a while, before propping herself up on her palms in an attempt to stand up. However, when she exerted force on her palms, her wrists felt sore and she fell back onto the ground.

At that moment, many negative emotions welled up in her heart.

The feelings of powerlessness, despair, and an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

Five years ago, his mother had bullied her.
