"Wait a minute—," she had just uttered "wait," but Wang Ju had already dialed out, and Xia Siyu was so nervous she felt like she was about to explode.
She was afraid that Bo Yan's cellphone ringtone would sound, with everyone gathered in the living room, if it were to be heard coming from the bathroom, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even with a dozen mouths!
If it were just a scandal, she wouldn't fear others gossiping, for those with integrity do not fear their shadows. Had she known it would come to this, she might as well have let Bo Yan appear at the door from the start, better than being caught now!
She pricked up her ears to listen; on this end, Wang Ju's call had been ringing for a long time, "dialing" on and on without an answer. As soon as the call was automatically disconnected because no one answered, Bo Yan's message arrived: "Sorry, I was about to take a shower. Does Director Wang need something?"
