But before she could fully rejoice, the moment the ‘bracelet’ fell off, a handcuff appeared on her wrist, one end tied to his hand, the other hanging loosely in mid-air.
Tao Yu looked at the butler with a bad expression, “What are you doing?”
“Sorry, Miss Tao. These are the master’s instructions,” the butler said helplessly. The master only told him to lock one of Miss Tao’s hands and didn’t specify where to lock the other end, so he could only let Tao Yu wear it like a bracelet.
…Was he afraid she would run away, treating her like a thief? Tao Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her inner anger, and said through gritted teeth, “Take me to see him.”
The butler looked at her worriedly and led her out. In the car, he tried to persuade Tao Yu not to go against the master, using chicken soup-like advice and examples to subtly tell her how miserable those who went against the master were now.
The butler’s persuasion calmed Tao Yu down halfway. By the time she arrived at the company, her anger had subsided considerably.
As soon as she entered the hall, she attracted many people’s attention. Seeing the butler behind her, everyone immediately understood that this was the rumored CEO’s wife.
Tao Yu, who hadn’t been out for a long time, was suddenly subjected to such attention and felt uncomfortable under these gazes, remaining tense throughout until she relaxed in the elevator.
The moment the elevator doors closed, she let out a long sigh, grateful that she was wearing loose clothing that could hide the handcuffs. Otherwise, if half a handcuff was exposed and people stared, she definitely wouldn’t have had the courage to come.
The elevator quickly reached the top floor. The moment the doors opened, she looked up to see Yue Linze standing outside, looking at her, seemingly having waited for a while. The remaining half of her anger quickly disappeared.
“What are you standing here for?” Tao Yu asked awkwardly.
Yue Linze slightly raised the corner of his mouth and led her by the hand to the office in front of all employees. Tao Yu felt even more eyes concentrated on her, and her face turned slightly red.
