The person perked up her ears, looking as though she were digging for gossip.
Mo Xiaomeng made up an excuse hurriedly, âItâs alright, Iâll look for it myself. Thank you. I wonât keep you from your work any longer.â
She then walked straight ahead hastily.
Walk straight and turn left, right?
Mo Xiaomeng thought that even if the company was big, she could still ask someone for directions.
However, perhaps it was because she didnât have a good sense of direction, or that the person had pointed the wrong way to her, she didnât find the restroom and instead walked into a pantry.
She heard some voices inside and was thinking of asking them where the toilet was when she heard them conversing.
âDidnât Young Master Ye have someone he was going to be engaged to? Could this pretty girl be Young Master Yeâs fiancée?â
âIâm eighty percent sure of it. Young Master Ye isnât a playboy, and Iâve never seen him get close to a girl before. Itâs impossible for him to find a girl on his own, and thatâs why the Yeâs are so worried. I even heard that the Yeâs are afraid that heâs⦠that!â
âWhatâs âthatâ?â
âYou still donât get it? âThatâ is⦠not liking girls! Thatâs why the Yeâs are hastily trying to find him a girl to be engaged with so that they can develop feelings.â
âOh, I see! But the girl is really pretty. She looks so sparkly and refreshing. I wonder which rich family she comes from. Iâve only looked at her twice but Iâm already mesmerized. If sheâs my girlfriend, I would definitely hide her at home and not let anyone see her!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBe careful with your words. Didnât you see how Young Master Ye acted earlier? You shouldnât be looking at her let alone thinking of such nonsense. Be careful, or youâll beâ¦â The person who was speaking made a slicing motion at his throat.
âOkay, okay, letâs stop talking and get back to work.â
Upon hearing the sounds of the people emerging from inside, Mo Xiaomeng hurriedly hid herself. It would be awkward if she bumped into them.
Her expression was a little gloomy.
Ye Sijue had a person that he was to be engaged to⦠Who was that girl?
She continued to walk as she thought, and arrived at the door to the restroom coincidentally.
Mo Xiaomeng looked up at the restroom and chuckled bitterly.
The world was a strange place. She couldnât find what she was looking for when she searched for it carefully, but found it unexpectedly when she was careless.
Were humans like that too?
Then, Ye Sijue and herâ¦
Mo Xiaomeng didnât know when it started, but her mind was filled with a particular someone, and she would think about things related to him at any time and place.
Walking into the restroom, she saw the glamorous secretary in front of the sink hitching up her dress and splashing water on the scalded part of her thigh.
âAre you alright?â she asked instinctively.
The glamorous secretary looked up violently. She hadnât expected Xiaomeng to appear Her expression was thus surprised, but she looked angry for a split second.
Mo Xiaomeng was so shocked by her expression that she took a step backwards.
The glamorous secretary rearranged her expression hurriedly and squeezed out a smile. âIâm alright. Iâm just scalded slightly.â
âDo you have any creams? Itâs better to put some on.â Mo Xiaomeng didnât take her displeasure to heart for anyone would feel unhappy if they were hurt.
The glamorous secretary looked askance at her as she sneered internally, What are you pretending to be a good person for!
However, she maintained the smile on her face before sighing pitifully and saying, âIâm actually used to it. Itâs not my first time being scalded.â
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaomeng couldnât help but sympathize with her.
Mo Xiaomeng walked closer, and noticed that a large part of her thigh was red.
