Suddenly, someone pushed their way into his office. Huo Li thought it was Huo Yunting, but was greeted with the sight of Lin Yazhi instead. He slowly put down his phone and asked the nervous woman, âWhat do you want?â
âI found out something important! I mean it!â
âIâm not interested in anything you find important.â Huo Li was too busy to deal with her.
He pocketed his phone and made for the door. When he walked past Lin Yazhi, he pulled the secretaryâs arm along with him.
Lin Yazhi was dragged toward the door. âItâs not about me, itâs about Sister Zhaoyang!â
Huo Li let her go immediately. His expression turned serious abruptly. âHuh? What is it about?â
Lin Yazhi ignored his sudden change in attitude and continued, âThere isnât anyone in Sister Zhaoyangâs house! Do you think she has gone missing? Are all the employees of Thunderbolt Corp in danger?â
Huo Li looked at the ridiculous paranoia she was showing and actually found it funny.
âDonât worry, I can tell from your looks that youâll be quite safe.â
That aside, how did she know that no one is staying in Lu Zhaoyangâs house? Has she visited the place?
It seemed that he must warn HR not to leak employeesâ information so carelessly.
âYouâll be safer if we follow that same logic! Now listen to me, Iâm serious!â
She thought of sharing the information because Sister Zhaoyang was the presidentâs sister.
Nevertheless, before she could be certain of anything, she thought it would be best to not tell Huo Yunting for the moment. Besides, the president was not in office right now.
âLin Yazhi, mind your own business and stop looking into Secretary Luâs absence! Donât visit her place again! If the president finds out, youâll be a dead meat!â
Huo Li glared at her and then turned around to leave.
Lin Yazhi stood where she was not uttering a word. She was only worried about Lu Zhaoyang, but from the reactions of these two men, she must still be alright.
After all, as the presidentâs sister, she might have moved to the presidentâs mansion not long after she rented that place.
She must be overthinking this. Thatâs right...
...
The Golden Cityâs spacious private room was choked with the smell of alcohol and perfume.
A few sexy women were sitting around Mu Xian. The man played around with the wine glass in his hand as he studied Huo Yunting, who was quietly nursing his drink.
Whatâs with the lad now?
Huo Yunting had invited him out so early in the day, but the man did not even pay attention to the ladies circling around him.
âYoung Huo, donât you find it boring to simply drink from your glass? Let the girl here help you...â
âStay away.â
Huo Yunting threw her a hard look before the lady even moved an inch.
The lady froze in surprise as Huo Yunting said impatiently, âOut, all of you!â
The ladies were all afraid of Huo Yuntingâs sullen mood. They took on last look at Mu Xian, and then left the private room.
Even the ladies who served Mu Xian left.
âD*mn, donât drag me down with you, man.â Mu Xian complained, but then an intriguing thought came to him. âYou losing Lu Zhaoyang is probably for the best. Youâre not returning to the Huo family anyway, so just leave them be. Judging by your looks, you havenât actually fallen in love with her, have you?â
Fallen in love with her?
Impossible!
She owed him a debt. She belonged to him and was legally his wife.
His feelings right now could be attributed to his wounded pride. It was only natural for him to feel this way.
