"I never went over during new year's eve"
"And I also never went over during your birthday parties back then,"huang zhilan continued.
The two of them was busy and they didn't think much of each other, its because they weren't so acquainted before and gu junjie also often go to trips that it make their relationship strained. Even huang zhilan didn't know when she fall for him when the fact isthat the numbers they meet these past few years can even be counted with only a hand.
Gu junjie suddenly remembered something, "the cake. Won't it turned bad if we left it there?" He turned to the table and saw that beautifully packed box.
Huang zhilan also just remembered the existence of the cake and quickly let go of his hand. She scurried to the table and opened the box carefully to check the condition of the cake. Seeing that its still in good shape, she called him over, "lets eat it. Do you have any plates,forks and knife?"
Gu junjie nodded, as he went over, he told her, "in my pantry. You can just take them there," he sit on a sofa and looked at the squatting woman who was looking at the cake worriedly.
Huang zhilan thanked him and left to the pantry. She took two plates, two forks and a knife to cut the cake. She didn't make a large size and the size of the cake is not that big and not that small. Its a reasonable size.
Gu junjie didn't let her cut the cake and ordered her to sit beside him. He carefully cut the cake for her first and only then did he cut for him. He was impressed by her baking skills, the cake is moist and because it is red velvet, usually the cake will be ruine dif it was cut but it didn't when he cut it. This meant that the woman have put full consideration of the amount of ingredients she used and the batter she will put. When he gave one of the plate to her, the cake bounced and swayed a little and make others drooled over it.
Huang zhilan happily took the cake and tasted it. She thought that the taste will be ruined because she only freezed it for 10 minutes in the refrigerator back at home and when she reached the office, she didn't put it to a refrigerator but to her surprise, the taste still remains and the deliciousness was still there.
Gu junjie took a bite of the cake and taste it under the woman's nervous gaze. As he chewed it, he could sense the pressure the woman was in. To ease her, he gave her a smile and commented, "its good. You lowered the amount of sugar to lessen the sweetness right?"
Huang zhilan sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. As you said, I lowered the amount of sugar to lessen the sweetness. But do you feel nauseous or something when you eat it? Maybe a strong smell from the red velvet?"
"No. Its not nauseating. Why are you so afraid?" Gu junjie find it cute seeing her so worried.
The woman huffed and the two of them continue eating but none of them can finish the whole cake so huang zhilan suggested to give the cake to the secretarial department but the man rejected instantly with a cloudy expression.
His reason made huang zhilan blushed and flattered at the same time, he said like this: "You made this cake for me so its mine. You can't give it to others".
Huang zhilan gave up that thought and put the cake to the refrigerator so that he can bring it back at home in a good shape. Gu junjie then went back to work and finished all of his remaining paperworks in an hour and by the time have finished, its half an hour before lunch time. Because she wanted to eat crabs and lobsters, gu junjie have told assistant he to book a table for him a seven star seafood restaurant beforehand.
Huang zhilan was walking around his office, looking at his furnitures with amazement. Its not like she have never seen it but she was amazed that his taste was bland and plain. And yes, she ridiculed his taste.
"Hey, I know its not my right to interfere but can I change a bit your office?" Huang zhilan pondered for a while and asked as she turned around sharply, making small noises on her sneakers.
Gu junjie just stood up and was wearing his suit jacket when she asked. "Just tell my assistant what you want to change, and he will arrange it".
"Really? You really let me change your office?" Huang zhilan already prepared to be rejected but she didn't expect that he would agree quickly. A man's office was akin to a man's life and changing it meant changing his life. It's a saying for businessmen.
