Chapter 530: Chapter 531: Secretly Observing Her Every Move

When they got out of the elevator, Fang Zhengdong spoke, “The boss is in a meeting, Miss Xia, you can wait for her in the rest area.”

Xia Yangyang nodded.

Xia Yangyang waited in the rest area for a long time.

During this time, people served her tea and water, but Gu Qichen did not appear.

Xia Yangyang waited for three hours.

Until it was past lunchtime.

Fang Zhengdong had been there several times before, but now he was nowhere to be found.

When asked about Gu Qichen’s situation, the other secretaries all said the boss was still in his meeting.

Xia Yangyang is no fool.

The main meeting room was right next to the rest area.

When Xia Yangyang arrived, she took a deliberate look, and the room was completely empty.

It was clear that Gu Qichen did not want to see her.

And yet, he had her wait here? What did that mean?

Xia Yangyang couldn’t figure it out.

Neither could Fang Zhengdong.

If the boss didn’t want to see her, he could easily have dismissed her.

Yet, he had her wait in the rest area for three hours.

Fang Zhengdong had already gone twice to remind him.

Both times, Gu Qichen was buried in his papers, saying he was busy and he’ll see her later.

He was his personal secretary.

Wasn’t he aware of whether the boss was busy or not?

However, on his third attempt, Fang Zhengdong finally understood the reason.

At some point, the boss had pulled up the surveillance footage from the rest area.

And there he was, idiotically staring at the woman on the screen.

Yes, to any outsider, he seemed like an idiot.

Sitting still without even blinking an eye.

His face was cold as he watched the woman in the meeting room’s every move.

No one could tell what he was thinking.

Fang Zhengdong really thought the boss was acting unlike himself.

Despite having followed him for so many years, he could never figure out what this man was thinking.

He was clearly itching to see her, after an agonising search of four years.

Now that she was right there, he chose to keep her out.

And yet, he was secretly watching her every move.

Fang Zhengdong walked in, reminding him one final time, “Boss, Miss Xia has not had lunch yet.”

Gu Qichen, seeing Fang Zhengdong come in, quickly closed his notebook.

He then coldly said, “Send her some food. Make a reservation at Yun Ding Restaurant, I’ll give you the menu later.”

Was the boss still not going to meet Miss Xia?

Was he determined to wear her out this way?

Fang Zhengdong remembered that Miss Xia’s favorite restaurant four years ago was Yun Ding.

The boss still remembered her preferences, and even the dishes she liked.

Why won’t he agree to meet her and have a proper talk?

But Gu Qichen was the boss, and he had to do as he said.

Just when he was leaving, the junior secretary Aike came to report, “Miss Xia just left the meeting room.”

Fang Zhengdong hurriedly returned to the boss’s office.

By then, the boss had already opened his notebook.

He looked grim.

The monitor screen of the notebook was still set to the rest area.

No doubt the boss had seen it himself.

But Fang Zhengdong still reported, “Boss, Miss Xia has left.”

Gu Qichen’s face was hard, but he said nothing.

Fang Zhengdong picked up the courage and asked, “Boss, are we just going to let Miss Xia leave like this?”

From Fang Zhengdong’s understanding of Gu Qichen, he was just being a show-off and would eventually feel embarrassed.

Like when he bumped into Miss Xia at the airport, and she tried to greet him, he pretended not to recognise her.

But as soon as she left, he chased after her like a madman.

Having a master like this, Fang Zhengdong felt a headache.

Gu Qichen was silent for a few seconds, then finally said in a low voice, “You go and tell her if she wants to see me, she can meet me at Room 888 of the World Hotel at eight o’clock tonight. Don’t keep me waiting.”
