Xu Qiaoqiao watched as the Director stood guiltily, as if his entire worldview had been devastated.
The Director agonized for a long time, then suddenly rushed towards her and grasped her hand. "Qiaoqiao, I wrongly accused you, I..."
Xu Qiaoqiao however, lowered her gaze and removed her hand from his, finger by finger.
If it was before today, she might have softened.
But when the Director slapped her without hearing her out, she knew their relationship had reached its end.
Some injuries can't be healed with just a 'sorry'.
She didn't speak, she just hung her head.
The very next moment, the man's towering figure interposed again between her and the Director.
A low, commanding voice from the man reached her. "Wait for me in the car."
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded and turned towards the car.
"Qiaoqiao!"
The Director's voice reached her, she paused but didn't turn. She finally stepped into the car.
