“I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, your father's attending physician has gone to the United States for research, and we don't know when he will return.”
“Jono, put aside the work you have this month; you don't need to do it.”
“Miss Qiao, Qiao Chen cannot attend class right now.”
…
These were all the rejections Jono had heard over the past few days; she felt isolated and helpless.
However, the two situations were vastly different.
This time, it was clear that someone was sabotaging her.
Jin Chengyan.
It had been five or six days since Jono last saw Jin Chengyan after he stormed out.
Yet his news was incessant.
Jin Shao was frequenting entertainment venues, partying all night long.
Jin Shao was seen with internet celebrities at high-end restaurants, spending lavishly just to make a beauty smile.
Jin Shao invested in a movie, but the female lead was Ruan Shengyu's rival.
…
In these days, Jin Chengyan was drawing more attention than a celebrity.
She had to find him and clarify things.
“Miss Qiao, the president is currently unavailable.”
“I’ll wait for him. There are some things that need to be clarified.” Jono glanced at the closed office door of the president.
She knew that her coming here was largely about softening her stance; she didn’t want Jin Chengyan to misunderstand her, whether it was for her father, for Qiao Chen, or for herself.
“Well… alright then.” Alice said little more and returned to her own tasks.
There were several other secretaries and assistants in the president's office. When Jono arrived, they only glanced at her briefly before returning to their work. Who would dare gossip about their boss’s affairs?
“Miss Qiao, please have a seat and wait here. The young master’s meeting with Yan San should conclude soon.” A-Shan gestured for Jono to sit on the sofa outside the president's office.
“Thank you.” Jono appreciated A-Shan's kindness.
As Jono waited outside, she recalled the recording Jin Chengyan had played for her that day. It was a conversation she had with a colleague in the restroom. She had been reluctant to agree with what that colleague said; she just wanted to end the conversation quickly, not realizing it would be overheard by someone with ulterior motives.
While pondering this, Jono suddenly felt curious about how much Jin Chengyan truly cared for Ruan Shengyu. If this incident was indeed something she had done, how would Jin Chengyan react to her?
“Bang—”
“Bang—”
Two loud noises erupted from inside the president's office, causing all the secretaries and assistants outside to look toward the door. A-Shan quickly approached the office door, intending to knock and enter, but ultimately held back.
Moments later, the office door swung open, and someone stepped out.
But it wasn’t Jin Chengyan.
It was him—the man who had mistakenly gone on a blind date with someone else, Yan Beiting.
Yan Beiting had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which he casually wiped away with the back of his hand.
He saw A-Shan and reached out to pat his shoulder. "It's been a few years, and your young master has really improved!"
A-Shan frowned and shrugged off his hand.
"Oh, just like your young master," Yan Beiting remarked, ignoring A-Shan's rudeness and the injury on his face, striding confidently toward the elevator.
Just as he was about to step forward, he noticed Jono.
He halted, glancing toward the president's office before looking back at Jono. Suddenly, he stepped forward and, catching her off guard, grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
"Third Young Master—" A-Shan tried to call out to Yan Beiting, but it was too late. "Miss Jono—"
Neither of them managed to stop him; Yan Beiting had already taken Jono into the elevator.
Those coming out of the office heard A-Shan call Jono's name. Turning toward the elevator, they only caught a glimpse of Jono's face disappearing behind the elevator doors.
