The Secretary handed Xia Anlan's coat with both hands and opened the door while holding his briefcase.""Mayor, you haven't been eating well these days. Do you want to have some supper tonight?"
Xia Anlan thought about Xiao' AI's supper and wondered when he would be able to eat it.
"No need," he shook his head.
On the way home, it was late at night, and there were fewer cars on the road.
Today, the Secretary hardly spoke, and the car was a little too quiet.
In the end, it was Xia Anlan who spoke first,""Why aren't you talking today?"
"It's too late," the Secretary quickly replied."You've been busy all day and need a good rest."
Xia Anlan smiled. He would rather forget about such lies in front of him.
"You've been with me for many years. Next time, remember not to avoid my eyes before you lie."
The Secretary quickly lowered his head. The mayor's eyes were too sharp. He could even see this. He felt that he had no secrets in front of Xia Anlan.
