Ji Yi snapped back to reality and nodded at Chen Bai gently.
Seeing Ji Yi's reaction, Chen Bai continued to speak. "Miss Ji, it's like this... Today, I asked you to come because there's something I wanted to tell you."
Tell... For some reason, Ji Yi's heart sank with that single word. She stared at Chen Bai for a short while before softly nodding again. This time, she said just two words: "Go on."
Chen Bai had worked with He Jichen for so long that his whole style of doing things had been more or less influenced by him - he was now more direct and straight-forward. However, for some reason, Chen Bai didn't go straight to the point right away. Instead, he beat around the bush: "Then, I'll go ahead and start."
Deep down, Ji Yi felt more uneasy with Chen Bai acting like this. She instinctively clenched her fingers and stared into Chen Bai's eyes. "Mhm," she encouraged him.
Chen Bai didn't say anything but turned his head to avoid Ji Yi's gaze.
