Dai Zixin watched in stunned disbelief as Chen Xu actually dared to openly confront the famously ruthless Director Luo, her mouth agape with shock. She sneaked a glance at Director Luo's face, noticing a subtle shift in her expression, and immediately felt overwhelming pressure bearing down on her.
Remembering all the various rumors she had heard before, she suddenly felt a flutter of fear and could not help but worry for Chen Xu.
"What do you mean?" Luo Xiyun's voice was a bit cold.
"We have a normal colleague relationship, a comparatively good one. Does the company not allow male and female colleagues to interact?" Chen Xu's voice sounded not at all panicked; his tone was calm, not agitated. It wasn't a question or an accusation, just a statement.
For a second or two, Luo Xiyun was silent.
On the side, Dai Zixin felt as if the air itself was solidifying, not daring even to breathe heavily.
Ding—
The elevator arrived, breaking the silence between the three of them.
