Seeing him not around actually made her a little relieved .
After a deep sleep and taking some pills, she could feel the dizziness in her head lighten . She felt much better . She touched her forehead . Hm, it's not as hot as before .
Lu Zhaoyang got up from the bed to look at the clock .
Wow, it's almost twelve .
I literally slept for 2 hours?
When she was going to leave, there were these few light footsteps and whispers that stopped her .
Especially when those voices sounded nothing like Huo Yunting .
She was naked by then, thanks to that big pervert she regretted knowing . Panicked, her alertness urged her to at least cover herself with the white shirt Huo Yunting placed nearby as she walked towards the door .
Her footsteps were light—very light, in deep fear that people might discover her . Her ears were placed upon the door to try discerning the situation beyond .
The whispers remained as whispers despite her effort, which made her more restless .
Who are these people?
Why were they speaking so softly??
Was there a plot?
What do they want?
Her body stiffened as she did not dare to even make a gulp . In the midst of suspense, a hint had arrived, as she finally heard something outside, "Yes sir, don't worry, you aren't in the wrong hands . "
That voice?
Huang Dong?
Huang Dong was that harsh member of the board who demanded her to be fired due to her little "mistake" on the contract .
But who is this "sir" he's speaking to?
Was he making a report?!
That means there is still a mastermind behind this?!
Huang Dong was at the president's office right outside the restroom where Lu was in .
He had a few bugs in his hand, not the insect-bug but the eavesdropping-device . He went to the rack behind Huo's desk and installed one there, while he searched the next secure spot for his hidden ears .
"Thank you sir . " He hung up and looked around, eventually installed one right beneath the desk .
Feeling satisfied, he gave a sneer as he took out his phone to message his report .
And he left cautiously .
(Meanwhile at the other place)
A mysterious man stood before the giant window, as he was notified through the chime of his phone . It was a message from Huang Dong . A mission accomplished it seemed . He put back his phone nonchalantly .
The sun was strangely glaring yet he was seemingly unaffected by it . His body was straight and his eyes were still wide .
The sunlight of the afternoon showered upon his tall and slender body, like the halo of Michael .
It was a silhouette of the other world, an authority unquestionable, yet there was a sense of loneliness, as if abandoned by the world .
(Back at Huo's office)
She could hear Huang Dong's footsteps fading away, as the sound of the door shutting convinced her to leave the restroom .
The office felt—a little different…somehow .
Huo's documents, the contract, the secret documents were all still here . But Huang Dong could not just sneak in and do nothing…
"Man I must be crazy," mumbled Lu, as she imagined Huang Dong coming in to install bugs around the room . Probably she had watched too many movies lately .
Trusting her instincts, she began searching in the room carefully .
She searched the carpet, the chair, the sofa . She could not find any bugs at first, until she got to the bottom of Huo's desk .
There it is!
Lu's heart raced . She could not believe it was not her fantasy after all!
Huang Dong stayed quite a while after hanging up the call, there must be more than one here .
She then got out from the bottom of table, quietly—very quietly . So quietly that her every breath was controlled .
She must not make any sound if there was a bug in the room .
And that was when one book with a black cover caught her eyes . There was a lump on the book, as it blended in with the black so well that it was hard to tell at first glance .
