By Thursday mid-morning, Hu Lei was exhausted and in need of a long night's sleep. She was used to staying up for prolonged hours and days with minimal rest. However, she was still made of flesh and bones. She had become exhausted to the point of death. Also, she had taken a more relaxed approach to life in the last four months since returning to Supreme City. The change was a little jarring.
When she felt that she could no longer hold off her tiredness, she could not help folding her hands and closing her eyes for a moment.
Around her, her new co-workers looked at her with disdain, huffing and puffing. Hu Lei could really not be blamed because she did not understand how offices worked beyond the obvious. If she had melded well with the other people or at least, expressed goodwill, they would be showing perfunctory concern for her health.
