After having her breakfast at a bistro along the streets, she headed to a shopping mall to buy a mobile phone that had an array of functions. She slid a new SIM card into the mobile phone and curbed her temptations to give Jin Qingyan a call before hailing a taxi to bring her to the Jin Corporation office building.
Clad in a mask and shades, she arrived at the front desk of the atrium and asked, "Is your CEO in?"
"Sorry, Miss, but the CEO has something to attend to today and won't be making his way to the office."
"He has something on?"
"Yes."
An Xiaoning turned around to dial the all-too-familiar mobile number. However, all she heard over the phone was an automated voice that said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…"
A frown creased her forehead when she recalled that no number could reach Jin Qingyan's mobile unless it was included in his personalized contacts list.
