Ye Mengyan had completely lost control at this point.
She was devoid of her usual grace.
She was grabbing tightly onto my sleeve, yelling hysterically like a shrew,
"Did you deliberately seduce Gu Yuanzhou?"
I pulled her hand off, smiling gently,
"Miss Ye, Gu Yuanzhou is single. Let's not use the word 'seduce', it sounds so unpleasant. Could you please pull yourself together? People are watching."
Upon my reminder, Ye Mengyan snapped back to reality and let go of my sleeve.
Several coworkers had already formed small clusters, observing the spectacle from the distance.
Ye Mengyan bit her lower lip and turned to leave.
At noon, I still invited Xu Yun and Old Ma to have lunch outside, my treat.
"Sorry, Old Ma. President Gu got horribly drunk last night, and I forgot to let you know. I kept you waiting, so this meal is on me."
"No worries, it's nothing!"
Old Ma didn't take it personally. After being around Gu Yuanzhou for so many years, Old Ma got used to his habits.
