“No way! With her looks, how could the CEO not be blind?”
“Right, I wonder what tricks she used. Maybe I should ask her.”
“If someone like her can bewitch the CEO, I should have made my move long ago…”
And so on, too numerous to list.
De Nu’s high heels struck the floor forcefully. Her gaze remained cold, her chin slightly raised. Her pride undiminished, her back straight. Only those who knew her well would recognize that the faint throbbing vein at her temple was definitely a sign of impending explosion.
She took the elevator directly to the thirty-third floor. Lunch break was almost over, and she had to start working again.
But the moment she entered the office, He Yuhua came up to her.
“Sister Pang, someone is looking for you,” He Yuhua said hesitantly.
De Nu frowned. “Who?” How could she possibly have a visitor?
“It’s the CEO’s female… no! Ex-girlfriend, Miss Ke Yizhen.”
“She’s looking for me?” Could there be a mistake? What connection did she have with Ke Yizhen? “Could it be she’s looking for the CEO? Where is he?”
“She said she wants to see the CEO, but since he’s not here, she wants to see you. I told her you were out, and she said she’d wait in the reception room…”
Seeing He Yuhua’s face, which was a mix of gossip and concern, De Nu said: “I’ll go take a look.”
“Sister Pang!” She called out to De Nu.
De Nu turned around.
“That thing definitely wasn’t something I spread, I swear! Actually, I think you’re… so smart and capable, and it would be good for you to be with the CEO, really…” She stammered her explanation.
“It’s fine.” So according to He Yuhua, she was barely worthy of Long Jie? Hmph– that guy! De Nu thought angrily – who’s unworthy of whom is yet to be determined! “Don’t worry about it.”
After all, He Yuhua had been with her for over a year. How could De Nu not understand her personality? Just a young girl’s character – a bit impulsive, a bit gossipy, but not maliciously harmful.
“Then… be careful. Should I go find the CEO?” He Yuhua remembered Ke’s unfriendly look and was still worried.
“No need. I can handle it,” De Nu politely refused.
