Huo rested on his throne inside the President's office, as he thought about his mental scheme with closed eyes .
Mo Shan's cries affirming Lu as his sister was reverberating in his mind . It was as if the girl morphed into his wife behind the scene, and stood before him while giving off a tenacious look .
A kind of irritation clouded him, as he did a speed dial through the landline, "Call them tonight, Golden City . "
"What's wrong, Brother Huo? You sounded bad today . Did someone piss you off again? I'll settle that pest for you!"
Huo Li carried on blabbering how great Brother Huo was to him while elaborating his well-formed punishment for that pest . Huo Yunting's eyes were losing their colors .
"Hello?" Said Huo Li on the phone, "Heeelllloooooooooo . Earth calling Brother Huo, earth calling Brother Huo?"
"Calling Brother Huo the handsome, the great, the one-and-only, h-"
"Did you just curse me being a loner for the rest of my life?" Said Huo Yunting with a wry smile .
"Absolutely, positively, undoubtedly no sir! By 'one-and-only' I meant Brother Huo is befitting to the word 'one-of-kind' in his talents, achievements and honors, the only person who could have them all in this century!"
"Brother Huo? Hello?"
*Beep… beep… beep… beep…*
Huo Yunting had already tossed away his receiver which landed right on the button to hang up .
The receiver then bounced off and was left hanging by the other side of the table .
He frowned in blank dismay as he looked at the dark clock on the wall . He should have gone home a long time ago… He got up, took his coat, and strolled to the exit as he put it on . His expression was grim .
The moment he passed the Secretary's Office, he could not help but take a quick look . The office was already empty yet there was a little silhouette working hard on her desk .
He walked with quicker and lighter steps as he sneered .
"Hahh…" Lu yawned as she did a stretch, realizing the whole office was hers by then .
She left her seat for some water from the water dispenser, as she thought about the contract . She knew every single person in the office yet she could not tell who the culprit was behind this filthy contract amendment .
Unless they were backed by somebody…
Somebody…
Hm . . .
Wait, there was one .
Yu Man'er .
The name rang in her mind . She shut the water dispenser's tap . A strange smile crawled on her face .
Hm…
She walked back to her seat .
