Xia Chu arrived at the law firm early in the morning and opened her email immediately.
However, there was no response from Secretary Hu, which could mean the old man hadn't had the chance to read the email yet, or perhaps after reading it, he hadn't given Secretary Hu any instructions?
Or was it that the impact of her mother-in-law's diary on him wasn't as significant as Xia Chu had thought, and her intention to strike him with it was simply presumptuous?
But since he was capable of hurting her last time, it showed some shame, some guilt...
Xia Chu waited a little while longer, but still no response came to her inbox.
She decided to focus on her own work instead. Being busy made time pass faster, certainly better than simply staring at the clock.
