The words "breaking off an engagement" were particularly jarring, attention-grabbing, especially coming from the mouth of a stunning beauty like Qi Yulu.
They didn't say much, but their eyes were communicating, filled with doubt and confusion. When had Qi Yulu ever been engaged? And someone actually wanted to break it off?!
If it were Qi Yulu who needed to break off the engagement, it wouldn't have been such a surprise.
Everyone couldn't figure out which gentleman had the audacity to not even fancy a top-notch woman like Qi Yulu.
"Sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to. Please continue the meeting without me," she said to those present before turning to her secretary, "You stay here in my place, just relay the important matters to me later."
"Understood, President Qi," the secretary nodded, taking Qi Yulu's seat.
Qi Yulu then grabbed her coat, nodded apologetically to everyone, and left the room in haste.
