“…” An oriental girl, wearing a baseball cap, very beautiful.
Simon put all the information together and was almost sure who was looking for him downstairs.
His heart trembled.
—Qiao Nian is here!
He sat back in the swivel chair almost speechless, with his eyes lowered in despair and without saying a word.
The assistant looked at him without saying anything, as if the sky had fallen, and was also confused. He only dared to ask carefully: "President, do you want to see me?"
Simon was half conscious when he heard the assistant's whispered question. He twitched his lips lightly and answered the question after a long while: "...They have come to my house, it's my turn to say no."
"?" The assistant was confused as to what he meant and stood there not daring to move.
Simon took a deep breath to calm himself down, then looked up at him: "Let her come up!"
The assistant was relieved after receiving the order and said happily, "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and went out to do his work.
Simon was leaning weakly on the back of his chair, deeply worried about what to do next, but when he came to his senses, he immediately stood up and tried to chase after him.
How could he forget.
Under the current circumstances, it would be better for him to go and pick it up in person.
However, before he walked out of the office, he saw the girl coming out from the elevator entrance in the corridor, and she looked up and met his eyes.
Simon's feet suddenly froze in place before he could react.
The girl walked towards him as if nothing had happened.
Step by step.
Every second was like a drumbeat hitting his heart, making it vibrate.
However, he didn't have much time to react. Qiao Nian walked up to him and stood still. He raised his head slightly, revealing his young and flamboyant face under the cap. He narrowed his black eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and greeted him nonchalantly: "President Simon, long time no see~"
It's clearly a casual tone.
Simon's heart trembled as he heard the breath of decisiveness and murder in it.
He looked at the assistant who was craning his neck to look in here, pursed his lips, stepped aside to make way, and invited the girl to enter the office: "Ms. Qiao, come in and talk."
"OK."
Qiao Nian didn't bother to be polite with him and walked in calmly.
"Huh." Simon took another deep breath and followed.
*
His office is located on the top floor of a landmark building in the most prosperous area of Independence Island. The 270° circular glass design allows for a view of all the surrounding streets and buildings.
This feeling of looking down on everyone was in line with Simon's identity, and he loved it for a time.
However, at the moment he was not in the mood to enjoy the feeling of standing on a high place.
Simon personally made a cup of coffee and brought it to the French window. Looking at the girl standing at the French window looking at the scenery below, he took a deep breath and handed the brewed coffee to her, saying politely, "Miss Qiao, have a cup of coffee. Can I have a mocha without sugar?"
Qiao Nian turned her head and saw him. She didn't reach out to take the coffee cup he handed to her, but asked bluntly: "President Simon, do you know why I came here today?"
Simon held the coffee there for a long time, but the other party didn't want to take it. Although he was extremely embarrassed, he had to take it back and said sincerely, "Miss Qiao, there is a misunderstanding here!"
"It would be disingenuous of me to say that I don't know why you came to me... but there is indeed a misunderstanding."
Simon spoke out all the arguments he had thought of in the past two days, as if he was afraid that Qiao Nian would interrupt him.
"I admit that someone from Continent M contacted me and mentioned the Tsar's blueprints and the benefits of dividing up the Ji family, asking me to 'embarrass' you."
