Michelle soon returned, and by then He Fangqing had also signed the document. Taking it from her, Michelle was ready to leave, followed immediately by Li Yifei leaving the office.
"Brother Li, I'm really sorry. My reaction just now was... was far too intense. Please don't take it personally." Li Yifei was about to explain further when Michelle had already apologized to him.
Li Yifei awkwardly smiled and said, "Michelle, the one who should be apologizing is me. If I had phlegm stuck on me, I would be disgusted myself, let alone you."
Michelle's smile sweetened as she replied, "It's really okay, you didn't do it on purpose. By the way, you should smoke less. Smoking is bad for your health, you know. Oh, and have you taken your medicine?"
"I've been smoking for so many years; quitting is easier said than done. I can get better without medication."
"That's not okay. I'll get you a couple of boxes of lozenges later. At the very least, they can protect your throat a bit more."
