Shao Pinxi was not only curious but also deeply concerned about who this friend might be. For some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of unease.
“Manager Shao, shall I announce your arrival? Perhaps Mr. Huo would like to see you,” the secretary suggested.
“…Okay, thank you,” Shao Pinxi considered for a moment.
Reason told her there was no rush to express her thanks and she could come back later, that there was no need to interrupt his time with a friend. However, her emotions wanted to go in and see Huo Juren’s friend. In the end, her emotions won.
Why did she want to see? Why was she so concerned about Huo Juren’s friend? Shao Pinxi dared not explore the reasons.
“Mr. Huo, the planning department’s Manager Shao wants to see you. Would you like to meet her?” the secretary relayed.
“Send her in,” came the low voice in response.
“Yes, Mr. Huo.” After hanging up the internal line, the secretary looked up and smiled, “Manager Shao, you can go in now.”
“Thank you,” Shao Pinxi responded, taking a deep breath privately before knocking on the dark red office door.
“Come in,” the male voice called out clearly.
She entered, her delicate features composed and perfectly calm.
Shao Pinxi first politely greeted, “Mr. Huo.”
“What is it?” Seated in a black leather chair, Huo Juren’s sharp, cold gaze shot directly at her. His keen dark eyes flickered with an unusual light.
“Yes,” she answered, simultaneously feeling a soft gaze directed towards her.
Shao Pinxi discreetly glanced at the person watching her intently, who smiled softly and approached her.
“Hello! I’m Liang Bizhi. Nice to meet you!” the woman named Liang Bizhi extended her hand in a friendly manner.
“Hello! I’m Shao Pinxi,” Shao Pinxi returned a faint, polite smile and shook her hand.
Now she understood the uneasy feeling she’d experienced upon hearing Huo Juren was meeting a friend at the office.
Anyone important enough for Huo Juren to make time for during work hours must be significant.
And this person was also incredibly beautiful…
Was she feeling jealous? Who was she trying to fool? Even now, she still harbored feelings for Huo Juren. Otherwise, why would she care so much about Miss Liang?
