In the president's office, Ethan finished browsing all the information about him that he had just sent over, glanced at the lunch that had been neglected for a long time on the table, and did not touch it. He walked straight to the window and looked at the high-rise buildings in the City.
After looking for a while, he wanted to look away without interest, but he caught a glimpse of a small figure wandering under the building.
Because the floor was too high, he could not see the girl's face clearly, but he was very familiar with the outline.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The summer in the City was the hottest, and this period was the most toxic time for the sun.
The girl stood at the door without any shade and seemed to be very hot. From time to time, she waved her palm to fan herself or wiped the sweat on her cheeks with her arm.
Ethan's expression became complicated, and there seemed to be a trace of attachment in his eyes.
He looked for a while, suddenly turned around, grabbed the suit jacket hanging on the chair, and walked out of the office quickly.
After Ethan left the office, he took the elevator down to the second floor, walked around at an elegant and slow pace, and finally walked back to the tea room on the second floor.
During working hours, employees are rarely seen in the tea room. He walked to a window he found when he was walking around just now, leaned against the corner, and slowly cast his eyes on the petite figure downstairs.
Like a ripe little apple, the girl's cheeks were red from the sun.
For a moment, he felt that he was back in the Royal Conservatory of Music in Provence. At that time, he was just an associate professor with a promising but insufficient financial prospect, but there was a person who came to knock on his office door every afternoon with a lunch box without getting tired of it...
In the hot summer season, it is such a red face.
He tapped his knuckles on the windowsill, his eyes fixed on the girl downstairs, never leaving.
Some employees passing by greeted him, but he ignored them all. After so many times, everyone knew better and stopped bothering him.
But soon the rumor that "the president was in a deep state in the tea room and slept with his eyes open due to jet lag" spread throughout the Building.
Such rumors continued until the sunset, when most of the employees of Wanying Group left work and the gossip storm in various departments was temporarily stopped.
He rubbed his slightly numb shoulders and his gaze on Lilly changed.
Lilly, who kept looking at the door of the building, suddenly stopped, put her bag in her arms, searched for a while, and took out her mobile phone.
Ethan chose this place because of the excellent view and comprehensive angle, plus his excellent eyesight, he could even see the expression on her face.
Lilly answered the phone, and after a few words, she smiled happily, her frowning brows relaxed, and she was very natural and relaxed, occasionally sticking out her tongue mischievously.
His hand pressed on the windowsill, a trace of attachment gently wrapped around the corner of his eyes, the girl's playful and cute appearance made his heart, which had been frozen for a year, soft and sweet.
Suddenly, Lilly nodded, pulled up her backpack, glanced at the door of the Building, and then turned around...
She's leaving?
Seeing Lilly's figure starting to move away from Wanying Building, his face turned cold, his fingers clasped the edge of the bed, rubbed it hard, and then turned around and walked out of the tea room quickly.
"Ah, I wanted to try again," she sighed at the blond man in the video call on the phone, and said with all her might, "But if he doesn't show up, I can't do anything. Carl, you have to testify for me, I'll go back now..."
"Okay, your lips are white, haven't you eaten yet? Be careful that you will be anemic again. Come to my place today first?" Carl said with a gentle smile, "I'll make you sweet and sour crucian carp and braised lion head?"
"Ah, don't tempt me with delicious food!" A foreigner cooks delicious food, is there any justice in the world? Lilly was so greedy that she almost cried, and said frustrated, "I can't do it today, I have to go home for dinner tonight."
"If you go back, you will definitely be bombarded by your aunt, and you won't be able to eat well or sleep well, and I will feel bad." Carl blinked mischievously, "Come over, you need to change your mood. It's okay, I will lobby your aunt."
"Carl, you are an angel!" Lilly smiled and threw several flying kisses to Carl in the video. She didn't have many friends, but Carl, who grew up with her childhood sweetheart, was the most considerate to her.
When she thought of eating delicious food, Lilly, who was a foodie, smiled from ear to ear, and immediately danced and jumped while walking. As a result, she ran into a wall of people before she could jump a few steps.
She fell to the ground with her buttocks, and her mobile phone fell out.
"It hurts!" she raised her scraped arm and looked up angrily, and saw the man she had been waiting for almost a day looking down at her, with a cold expression on his face and a little impatience.
Ethan didn't come to help her, but looked at her and walked away immediately.
Just kidding, she waited for so long, and finally saw someone, the rabbit in her hand - no, it was Ethan in her hand, how could she let him run away?
"Ethan!" Lilly quickly got up from the ground and grabbed his wrist with her dusty hands. Because she deeply understood his strength, she used a lot of strength right from the start.
He was caught off guard and staggered and took a big step back. She fell backward due to inertia, and her head hit his chest through her suit.
