Bai Lu didn't know that tears were falling down her cheeks. Her arms were still wrapped around Liang Feifan's neck. Hearing someone ask her something, she answered instinctively, "Xiang Longjin?"
Before she could say the words "I hate you", she was suddenly pushed away. Although she was drunk, she knew pain. Her back probably hit the trunk behind her. She couldn't help but groan, and her body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Liang Feifan condescendingly looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground, a cold light flashed in his ink-black pupils.
No woman had ever dared to call another man's name in his arms. Bai Lu, right?
You're the first one!
His thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, as sharp as a knife. The lust in his eyes had long disappeared. After a moment, he turned to the driver and said, "Take her to the hotel. I'll go back myself." His voice was unusually cold.
The driver had been sitting in the car since the beginning. Naturally, he saw the scene of Mr. Liang and his secretary hugging and kissing, but the situation now …
Liang Feifan was too deep. Ordinary people couldn't figure out his thoughts at all. At this time, the driver didn't dare to be nosy. He responded and got out of the car. He helped the woman, who had caused a big trouble, into the car.
The morning sun was like a lover's palm, gently caressing people's cheeks.
On the big bed, the white quilt was rolled into a ball. The petite body curled up under the quilt, motionless.
The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated rhythmically, followed by the jingling of the ringtone.
The person on the bed finally reacted, but she only stretched out a slender hand and slammed it on the bedside table. The phone fell to the ground. Fortunately, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, so the phone was not broken. However, the ringtone continued to ring.
Bai Lu finally couldn't take it anymore. She groaned and struggled to poke her head out from under the quilt. Her long hair was messy, and her eyes were half-closed. She was obviously not fully awake, but the phone on the carpet kept ringing. The person on the other end of the line would not give up until they got what they wanted.
After a long while, Bai Lu finally picked up his phone from the carpet. His brain felt like it was about to explode after the hangover, and his body felt like it had been run over by a car. His whole body felt strange. At this moment, she didn't even have the energy to look at the caller ID. Her weak fingers took a long time to press the answer button.
"… Hmm?" She massaged her temples with her fingers, and her voice was a little hoarse because of the alcohol. "Who are you looking for?"
There was no sound from the other end of the line. Bai Lu frowned and looked at the phone. After confirming that it was still connected, she repeated, "Who are you looking for?"
"Secretary Bai, do you still remember who you are?" A cold voice traveled through the air into Bai Lu's ears, but it was enough to freeze her to death.
Bai Lu only felt like something had pricked her most sensitive nerves in an instant. Her sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she almost jumped out of bed as if someone had stepped on her tail.
"… Mr. Liang!"
God! What was she doing? Her eyes subconsciously glanced at the wall. The clock hand on the wall was already pointing to 10: 30 in the morning!
Bai Lu couldn't help but reach out and hit her head hard. Her face was full of annoyance. "I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. I … I overslept. I'm really sorry!"
"It seems like you've sobered up. At least now you can recognize who I am." Liang Feifan's tone was still cold, but at this moment, the panicked Bai Lu didn't realize that his words seemed to have a hint of sarcasm.
"I … I was drunk last night. I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. I really didn't know … I'll go and find you right away."
She didn't have time to think about anything else now. As she spoke, she had already jumped out of bed. Because her movements were too reckless, she accidentally bumped into the sharp corner of the bedside table. She grimaced in pain and gasped violently.
Liang Feifan probably heard the commotion, but he just snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. He hung up the phone directly.
Bai Lu listened to the cold beeping sound from the other end of the phone. Her heart sank, and she had a bad feeling.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, she hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face. As she combed her hair in front of the mirror, she tried hard to recall what happened last night.
She only remembered that she was forced to drink a lot at the dinner party, and then she got drunk.
But did she do or say anything after she got drunk?
She thought for a long time, but she couldn't remember anything. The hangover gave her a splitting headache. Bai Lu had never been in so much pain before. She couldn't hold her liquor very well, so she rarely drank. Last night was the first time she had gotten so drunk that she passed out.
She reached out her hand and pressed heavily on her temples. She couldn't help but frown in pain.
Headache, stomach ache, and discomfort all over …
Stomach ache?
She suddenly remembered why she got drunk last night. At that time, she noticed that Liang Feifan's expression wasn't right, but he still stood up for her. She was afraid that Liang Feifan would stand up for her because she drank too much.
She wondered if his stomach was better now.
As Bai Lu thought about it, she also remembered that she had asked the hotel staff for some stomach medicine before she went to the dinner party yesterday. She ran out of the room and found the jacket she wore yesterday on the sofa. Sure enough, there was some stomach medicine in the pocket. She conveniently put the stomach medicine into the pocket of the jacket she was wearing before she went out to look for Liang Feifan.
***
Before Bai Lu rang the doorbell, she had already been standing in front of Liang Feifan's room for a full five minutes.
Actually, she had worked in EC for so many years and had a lot of work experience. She had never been in such a sorry state before.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was in such a sorry state. Ever since she became Liang Feifan's secretary, she seemed to have made a lot of mistakes. In addition, she was so drunk last night. Today, her boss had to personally call her to wake her up …
She felt that all these crimes were unforgivable, let alone the picky man in the room.
Bai Lu sighed softly. In the end, she clenched her fist and pressed the doorbell. What was to come would come. If she was fired today, she had nothing to say.
The doorbell rang three times before someone opened the door from the inside. Originally, he thought that there was only one Liang Feifan in the room, but he did not expect that it was another man who opened the door. His face was still, his facial features were regular, and his figure was also tall.
Bai Lu was stunned. "… Is Mr Liang here?"
The man nodded slightly at her and was very polite. "You must be Secretary Bai, right? Hello, I'm Guan Chao. "
This man was Guan Chao?
Bai Lu hurriedly put on a natural and graceful smile and reached out her hand. "So you're Assistant Guan. Hello, we've only been in contact by phone. I've never seen you before. Sorry."
"It's okay. Mr Liang is waiting for you inside. Secretary Bai, please."
Guan Chao stepped aside to make a path. Bai Lu turned sideways and walked in. However, she was secretly wondering why Guan Chao had suddenly appeared here. She hadn't heard Liang Feifan mention that Guan Chao would be here. Could it be that she had gotten into trouble last night because she drank too much?
Bai Lu bit her lip. When she looked up, she happened to see Liang Feifan standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. He was wearing black and white casual clothes and holding a bottle of Romanee-Conti in his hand. It was probably a freshly opened bottle of red wine. At that moment, the room was filled with the rich aroma of wine. The sunlight jumped into the room and sprinkled on his body. It was as if he was plated with a layer of golden light and also reduced his sharpness. Liang Feifan looked even more calm and elegant like this.
However, it was also easier to move someone's heart.
When Liang Feifan's gaze shifted to Bai Lu's face, her heart trembled slightly. A second later, she pretended as if nothing had happened and looked away. "Mr Liang."
Liang Feifan poured a glass of red wine and took a sip. He didn't say anything, so Bai Lu could only stand there.
After a long time, he seemed to have drunk enough. He put down the wine glass in his hand and stood with his back facing Bai Lu with his hands clasped behind his back. "Secretary Bai, do you think you're qualified to be a secretary?"
Bai Lu's heart thumped. She knew she was going to be scolded. Thinking about how she had been in EC for so many years, this was the first time she had met a superior like Liang Feifan. Then, she repeatedly made mistakes, making her seem like a little rookie who had just entered society and was ignorant of the ways of the world.
Bai Lu resisted the urge to sigh and decided to take the initiative to admit her guilt. "Mr Liang, I'm very sorry about what happened last night. I … drank too much. I don't remember what I did or said. If I did anything wrong, please don't take offense. I'll be more careful next time."
Be more careful next time?
Liang Feifan's thick brows furrowed. He didn't know why, but the annoying scene from last night flashed through his mind.
He instinctively clenched his fists and slowly turned around. His proud figure stood upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight behind him covered the ground. His strong eyebrows were in sharp contrast to the gentle sunlight behind him. He no longer had the elegance and gentleness from before. Instead, he looked sharp. "There won't be a next time!"
Bai Lu looked at Liang Feifan with some surprise.
There won't be a next time?
What was the meaning of these four words that had no rhyme or reason? Was he planning to fire her, or … did he mean that he wasn't going to take her to dinner next time?
"Mr Liang, actually, it's me."
"You can go back to City A this afternoon. Guan Chao will follow up on the matter here." Liang Feifan's cold voice interrupted Bai Lu. He looked at her expressionlessly. "I won't pursue the mistakes you made in the past, but I hope there won't be a next time. After you go back, familiarize yourself with my habits. I don't want my secretary to only cause me trouble, understand?"
Bai Lu felt relieved. Although Liang Feifan was a little picky, he wasn't unreasonable. "Thank you, Mr Liang. I'll be more careful next time."
"You can leave now." He waved his hand. Obviously, he didn't want to say anything else.
Bai Lu tactfully left the room. When she walked to the entrance, she realized that Guan Chao was still standing there. She thought for a moment, then took the initiative to step forward. She took out the stomach medicine and handed it to Guan Chao. "Assistant Guan, this is the stomach medicine."
Guan Chao raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion.
"Mr Liang's stomach has been hurting since yesterday. He probably hasn't been to the hospital yet. He can't keep this up. Although you said that Mr Liang doesn't like to take medicine, I've thought about it. This western medicine can actually be taken out of the powder inside. If you put it in black coffee, it won't taste anything. I think Mr Liang will be very busy these days. Assistant Guan, you can try this method. "
