Chapter 606: Unresigned

Charlene was a smart woman. She knew that if that woman didn’t leave, Brother Gu wouldn’t see her. And if that woman did leave, Secretary Zhang would need to inform her.

So she nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

Charlene walked over to the adjacent lounge and sat down, waiting quietly for the news.

As she sat in the lounge, her expression became increasingly grim. Images of Gu Shaoting and that woman entwined together kept popping up in her mind, their affection evident.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious and angry Charlene became. How much did Brother Gu like that woman? It was during working hours, yet he called her over, and they were being flirtatious in the office? It was infuriating.

What was so special about that woman? Why did he like her so much? Charlene suddenly felt at a loss.

Secretary Zhang nervously approached the office door and lightly knocked.

“Mr. Gu…” Secretary Zhang called out.

“Come in,” Gu Shaoting replied tersely.

Secretary Zhang’s heart skipped a beat as he nervously entered. Mr. Gu was sitting sternly at his desk, while Mrs. Gu looked somewhat uneasy on the sofa.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Shaoting asked, his gaze sharp.

“Um… Charlene said she needed to see you,” Secretary Zhang answered truthfully.

“What for?” Gu Shaoting asked, frowning.

“She said it was private, but I’m not sure,” Secretary Zhang regretted giving such a foolish answer. He might just end up annoying Mr. Gu.

Gu Shaoting’s brow furrowed even more tightly.

“Shaoting, if you’re busy, I’ll head back to the company first. We can have dinner together tonight,” Shu Pan heard someone was looking for her husband, so she quickly stood up and suggested.

“It’s fine,” Gu Shaoting couldn’t imagine what Charlene wanted with him. Something private? That was unlikely.

“And her?” Gu Shaoting asked.

“She’s in the lounge…” Secretary Zhang quickly replied.

“Where were you just now?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gu. I went to the administrative department to fetch some documents. It was only a moment, and then she suddenly barged in,” Secretary Zhang thought of Charlene’s pale face and Mrs. Gu’s anxious expression, and he had a vague idea of what might have happened.

Ah, this Charlene was really a handful, always causing big trouble.

“Never mind, let her in,” Gu Shaoting sighed heavily, his handsome face clouded with displeasure.

“Of course,” Secretary Zhang nodded and went out to open the door.

But when Secretary Zhang pushed open the door to the lounge, he was dumbfounded. The room was empty. Where had everyone gone?

Secretary Zhang searched high and low, but couldn’t find anyone. Perhaps it wasn’t something important after all, otherwise why would she leave? What a troublesome situation.

Finding no one, Secretary Zhang went back to report to Gu Shaoting.

Charlene had been waiting in the lounge, but after a while without seeing the woman come out, she didn’t want to stay with her. She hoped to be alone with Brother Gu, so she left.

Next time, she would make another appointment. But she was also angry. It was a waste of effort; she had spent a long time getting ready.

“You see, I told you there was nothing to worry about,” Gu Shaoting said to Shu Pan after hearing what Secretary Zhang said.

Shu Pan nodded, and the two of them left.

Leaving Secretary Zhang looking bewildered, he wiped his forehead, feeling relieved. Fortunately, Mr. Gu was in a good mood today and didn’t blame him. But such mistakes must not be made again.

He thought for a moment, then sent a group email to all the staff.
