Chapter 177: The Soaked Couch
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I can’t go. Can’t you see that I was so busy that my feet didn’t even touch the ground?”
“Is your department unable to function without you? Are they all freeloaders?” “Why are you talking like that? Everyone is very capable, okay! But I’m equally important!”
“If you don’t want to come, I’ll come down to find you.”
“…I’ll go.”
A few minutes later, Jin Nian sneaked out of the office like a thief.
When she came out, she even turned around to see if anyone was following her, looking guilty.
In the corridor, she deliberately bypa.s.sed the elevator and went to the stairwell beside it. People rarely ignored the elevator and took the stairs.
Jin Nian was about to go upstairs when a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness and grabbed her wrist.
She was startled and was about to scream when she heard a familiar voice. “It’s me.”
Lu An trapped her between the wall and his embrace, with a slight frown. “Are you intentionally avoiding me?”
“I have a lot of work. You know how busy it gets during the 11/11 period,” Jin Nian replied calmly.
“Are you so busy that you can’t spare a moment to come and see me?”
Jin Nian poked his arm and questioned, “Do you just want me to take a look at you? Don’t you know what’s on your mind?”
“I’m not sure. What do you think?” Lu An smiled.
“I don’t know!”
“You promised, though,” Lu An said coldly.
“When did I promise you?”
“I asked you to come to my office today. If you didn’t refuse, wouldn’t that mean you agreed?”
“Why are you…”
Jin Nian was cut off midway when someone suddenly covered her lips.
There were people coming and going in the corridor outside the stairwell. Jin Nian could even hear their conversation.
She didn’t dare to breathe loudly. Her fingers clung tightly to Lu An’s sleeves as she pleaded in a low voice, “We can’t do it here.”
Lu An’s warm breath blew on her face. “Then where should we go?”
“… 18th floor.”
Lu An nodded slightly with a righteous expression. “You’re the one who wanted to go.”
Jin Nian nodded heavily and pushed him away. “You go up first, 1’11 be there soon.”
“You won’t change your mind this time?”
“I won’t!”
As soon as Lu An left the stairwell, Jin Nian sneakily walked out.
She went back to the office first and picked up a doc.u.ment from the table, saying that she wanted to send it to the CEO for review.
Only she knew how fast her heart was beating when she lied.
When she reached the 18th floor, Jin Nian was about to push open the CEO’s office door when she was pulled in and pressed against the wall.
With a click, the door was locked.
Lu An carried her horizontally and brought her to the desk.
With a wave of his hand, all the doc.u.ments on the table fell to the ground. Lu An didn’t have time to care about them. He took out a small square object from the drawer and handed it to Jin Nian, asking her to open it herself.
Jin Nian hardly breathed, so she couldn’t exert any strength. She tried several times but failed to open it.
Lu An smiled and kissed the corner of her mouth, teasing her for being a useless little snack.
He pretended to be kind and opened it for her, putting it back into her hands and letting her put it on him.
Jin Nian was so nervous that her movements were not smooth.
Lu An wasn’t in a hurry and told her not to be nervous. No one could enter.
When it was time to get off work, Jin Nian’s office colleagues left one by one. Someone had seen Jin Nian leave earlier and asked, “Where did Jin Nian go?” “I didn’t notice. Did she leave first?”
“No, her computer is still on.”
“I’ll give her a call and ask.”
On the other side, her phone was thrown into the corner of the table, playing a lively song.
Jin Nian wanted to reach out, but she was stopped.
Lu An lowered his head and bit her b.u.mp as if punis.h.i.+ng her for not paying attention.
Jin Nian almost cried out loud. Her pitiful and cute sobs were mixed with the music.
The phone rang for a while before the other party finally gave up.
Ever since she went to the office, someone had been sending Jin Nian WeChat messages every few days, asking her to go to the 18th floor.
His words were sincere but unquestionable.
However, he did not do anything overboard. Most of the time, he just asked her to have lunch with him.
However, Jin Nian recalled that day when the sun had set in the west and the moon had hung high in the sky. The entire office building was almost empty. The clothes she was wearing had been ravaged, and she did not want to go up at all.
There were too many memories in this office that made people blush. The sofa, the window, and even the boss’s chair were all filled with their traces..
