At the same time, across the vast ocean...
In a spacious office, an aloof-looking man sat quietly at his desk surrounded by a heap of documents.
âPresident Pei, the meeting is at 5.00 p.m,â Cheng Mo informed him softly.
Pei Yucheng grunted without raising his head as his fingers tapped rhythmically against the desk.
After Cheng Mo left, Pei Yucheng picked up his phone and texted Lin Yan.
âWhat are you doing?â
He didnât get a reply despite waiting for some time.
He frowned and cast his phone aside.
In the end, a familiar giddiness swept over him a second later...
...
At the restaurant...
Lin Yan first glanced at the rice before she studied the crab feast before her eyes. Suddenly, she felt that she should eat the crabs. They were expensive after all.
Lin Yan ignored the bowl of rice and stretched her hand towards a crab.
Before she could continue, she froze involuntarily as a familiar sensation hit her.
âF*ck! No way...â
Lin Yan was flustered by the abrupt arrival of the other consciousness... Why? Why would it appear now?
She was eating with her boss, and he was so suave and attractive. She really hoped that the lecher wouldnât mess around with her boss!
Would her boss fire her if she harassed him?
Lin Yan had no time to mull over that possibility, as she began to lose her consciousness.
Some time later, âLin Yanâ fluttered her eyelids.
She looked completely cold and distant right now, as though she was another person.
The man attracted her attention right away.
âLin Yanâ scanned her surroundings and realized that she was inside a restaurant. There was a man with green eyes with her.
When âLin Yanâ looked at him, her eyes gleamed coldly, which caused the roomâs temperature to drop drastically.
âYour eyes look intimidating.â
The man, who sensed that something was amiss with the girl, dabbed at his lips with a napkin as his green eyes glinted.
âReally?â
âLin Yanâ sounded distant and cold.
âI donât like it,â quipped the man.
âIs it important if you like it or not?â
âLin Yanâ sounded even colder and more frightening.
The man studied âLin Yanâ with curiosity. Her voice, actions, and aura had changed so much that she looked like another person.
The man could sense the disrespect and aloofness âLin Yanâ directed at him.
âIâm curious about the sudden animosity youâre showing right now. Shouldnât an employee respect her boss?â asked the man.
âBoss?â
âLin Yanâs eyes flickered as a realization hit her.
She had no idea who this man was or how he had become her boss.
âAre you done eating? Letâs head back to the office.â The man rose agilely.
âYes.â
âLin Yanâ replied softly without an expression.
The man and âLin Yanâ marched out of the restaurant.
After the man opened the door and got in the car, he glanced at âLin Yanâ. âAre you waiting for me to open the door?â
âLin Yanâ didnât utter a word as she opened the door.
