Xia Wan'an gave her whispering colleagues a strange look, then went into the pantry with a curious heart. After making coffee, she was about to return to her office when she saw Chen Qingtian coming in.
"Wan'an..." Chen Qingtian started, then quickly corrected himself, "No, Director Xia..."
"Never mind, just call me Wan'an..." Xia Wan'an stirred her coffee to cool it down while gesturing for Chen Qingtian to come closer. Once he was close enough, she asked quietly, "What happened in the company today? Why does the atmosphere seem strange?"
"Ah, I was just getting ready to gossip with you!" Chen Qingtian blurted excitedly, "Big news at the company today, our big boss's special lady friend came to the company!"
Xia Wan'an, who had just taken a small sip of coffee, nearly spat it out at the mention of the term "special lady friend".
"I know the news is a bombshell, but you don't need to react so strongly!" Chen Qingtian handed out a tissue to Xia Wan'an.
