Suddenly, the lighting in the elevator was restored, and the dark atmosphere quickly retreated.
The moment brightness returned to the elevator, the warm hand that had been tightly holding hers instantly withdrew.
Shao Pingxi slightly lowered her head, looking at her lonely hand, then at Huo Juren beside her, whose handsome face was cold with no expression.
Had he really held her hand just now? Shao Pingxi couldn’t help but doubt whether everything that just happened was an illusion. If he had held her hand, why… was his expression so cold?
While Shao Pingxi was trapped in a whirlpool of doubt, the elevator started moving again. Soon, they arrived on the first floor.
“President Huo, I’m truly very sorry!” The department manager, knowing the CEO had been stuck in the elevator, quickly ordered the repair of the faulty elevator to ensure it worked normally and immediately came to apologize to avoid offending him. “The elevator—”
Huo Juren raised his hand, indicating that the manager, who was prepared to deliver a lengthy apology, should stop. He had no interest in listening.
Stepping out of the elevator proudly, after walking a few steps, Huo Juren slightly turned back and called to her, who was still standing in the elevator: “Shao Pingxi, are you planning to stand there for the rest of your life?”
As if awakened by his words, Shao Pingxi immediately hurried to catch up.
“My schedule is tight. I have no time for you to zone out,” his handsome face radiating extreme coldness.
“I’m very sorry, President Huo,” Shao Pingxi stared directly at him, as if hoping to find some clue on his face.
Was the person who had held her hand in the elevator really him?
Shao Pingxi really couldn’t connect the warm and gentle hand with the currently ice-cold Huo Juren.
After reprimanding her, Huo Juren strode forward, no longer wasting precious time.
Shao Pingxi hurried to keep up, continuously replaying every moment that had happened in the elevator in her mind…
The next day.
With a somewhat nervous heart, Shao Pingxi came to Huo Juren’s office.
“Ms. Shao, do you have something to discuss with President Huo?” The secretary immediately asked politely upon seeing the planning department manager.
“I… ” Shao Pingxi, who always believed in speaking directly, now seemed hesitant.
