When Shangguan Ning reached the end of the pile of papers, she finally put them down. She made a log of Jing Yichen's time spent out of office. She also made a log of his phone calls with her.
That was to say, when he had made the call to her, he was still in Africa without that woman.
Time passes quickly when one has a job to do. Hours ticked by. At the end of the exercise, Ning realised that Jing Yichen was in Africa for most of his time away. He must've been in America for less than half a day, counting travel time to get there from Africa.
She knew that he hadn't even been able to get enough rest during that time. Everyone envied Jing Yichen and his position in the hierarchy, but no one was aware of how hard he worked or how much effort he had to put in, everyday.
Not even his own wife.
Shangguan Ning ran her fingers over Jing Yichen's notes. His handwriting.
Soon, it was time to leave for home.
