It was the first time that Si Zhengtings mind wandered during a meeting.

The scenes of how the girl had curled up in the hotel hallway, and of how she sneezed in the lounge room just now, kept replaying in his head.

At the thought of this, he couldnt help but become a little restless.

He abruptly stood up and announced bluntly, The meeting is over.

He left in big strides without even turning to look at the shocked expressions on everyones faces.

Once out of the meeting room, Si Zhengting glanced towards the lounge room, but he marched off in the opposite direction.

The executive assistant followed closely behind and casually mentioned, Sir, Ms. Zuo visited today, but as you were in the meeting, she is now in the office lounge.

Si Zhengting broke his pace.

A faceoff between Zuo Yiyi and Zhuang Nainai?

The latter had always been a glib talker and could defend herself, but Zuo Yiyi had become increasingly arrogant and ruthless in recent years.

Si Zhengting paused and said, The Groups 100th Year Anniversary celebration is coming up, how is the planning coming along?

The executive assistant understood his intentions right away and replied, Its nearly complete. It will be good for you to check it out yourself if you can afford the time.

To get to the planning committee, one had to pass by the office lounge.

Si Zhengting nodded. As they were approaching the lounge, he slowed his footsteps.

He could clearly hear every word being exchanged in that room; the temperature in his vicinity dropped immediately.

A chill spread. Zhuang Nainai did not even dare to look up.

Thinking back to what she blurted out just now, she wished she could sew her mouth shut. Why the big mouth again?

The chill behind her intensified and her heart trembled.

Zhuang Nainai breathed deeply, stiffened her neck, and slowly turned to face the door.

Si Zhengting stood outside the door with a piercing look in his eyes. It was as sharp as a cold knife that could penetrate ones bones. Zhuang Nainai felt her body freeze up.

She dared not speak a single word, knowing that what she declared seconds ago had all been heard.

She clenched her fists, avoiding any eye contact. She deliberated on the spot.What do I do?

Her heart pounded against her chest, but it suddenly dawned on her, what was there to be afraid of? She was telling the truth.

Zhuang Nainai feigned an innocent look and plastered a smile on her face. In a soft and gentle voice vastly different from what she used just now, she said, Are you done with the meeting? Does your stomach still hurt? Well

Ji Chen!

The harsh low bark filled with anger shocked everyone.

The executive assistant Ji Chen felt his back stiffen, and a cold chill ran down his back. Feeling the wrath, he replied, Im here, Sir.

Si Zhengting looked at Zhuang Nainai with a stare that could freeze and slowly said, Are you tired of your job? Since when can a random person enter and roam the Imperial Group Headquarters?!

You did not object to Ms. Zhuang entering your hotel room whats wrong with roaming the office?the executive assistant thought to himself.

But of course, he did not dare say that out loud.

Ji Chen straightened up and apologized, Sir, that was my oversight.

He then waved over two bodyguards and approached Zhuang Nainai, Ms. Zhuang, please leave the premises.

Zhuang Nainai was scared to death by Si Zhengtings look.

He, in turn, appeared incredibly annoyed. He turned to leave.
