"See you at 7 PM tonight at the main entrance of Sea Cloud Plaza. Let's chat, I'll wait for you until 10 PM!"
Lin Runjie sat in his office, looking at his phone with a slight frown on his brow - he had certainly seen the message from Tan Yanli. She had never asked him out alone before; their meetings had always been confined to the company. The WeChat message clearly indicated that what Tan Yanli wanted to discuss with him wasn't work-related.
He wasn't oblivious; he was aware of Tan Yanli's interest in him, but he didn't have the kind of affection for her that a man has for a woman; he merely admired her work capabilities.
Lin Runjie sighed lightly, contemplating how to reply to her in a way that wouldn't hurt her feelings. He wasn't going to keep the appointment; he had no intentions toward her and didn't want to give her false hope.
