One gaze was particularly fervent.
It was Lin Xinxin’s.
She fixed her eyes on Dongfang Yu, who was directing operations. Her eyes shimmered with unabashed respect, admiration, and appreciation, along with a barely perceptible hint of affection.
Meanwhile, she took notes seriously and earnestly.
It seemed as if, in her eyes, Dongfang Yu was the only person left in the world.
Hai Xiaotang looked at her focused demeanor and greatly admired her. Despite being injured just a few days ago, she had returned to work.
She was truly dedicated.
No wonder Dongfang Yu had taken a liking to her in their previous life.
Not only was she beautiful, talented, and dedicated, but she also worshiped him. She was practically the perfect lover.
It made sense that she had lost to her in their past life.
Fortunately, in this life, she was no longer attached to Dongfang Yu, otherwise she would have lost miserably again.
However, thinking about her own failure did make her feel a bit uneasy.
Hai Xiaotang shifted her gaze back to Dongfang Yu.
His profile was deep and handsome, and his entire being radiated an irresistible charm. As the president of a massive business empire, he was as noble and lofty as a king.
Even now, she still recognized his perfection and excellence.
The only difference was… she no longer loved him…
Therefore, no matter how good he was, she didn’t want to get close to him or win him over.
Moreover, she had to stay away from him, stay away forever!
A cold glint flashed in Hai Xiaotang’s eyes, and she turned to leave, but she suddenly collided with a secretary who had just walked in!
The secretary had just brought her a cup of coffee, and the scalding liquid splashed all over her when they collided.
“Ah…” cried Hai Xiaotang, instinctively loosening her grip. Her bag dropped to the floor and the contents of her lunch box spilled out!
The secretary was panicking, “Madam, I’m so sorry, it wasn’t on purpose, I’m sorry!”
She hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe Hai Xiaotang off.
Hai Xiaotang’s white dress was stained, and a spot on her arm had turned red from the burn.
The secretary was on the verge of tears, “Madam, what should we do? You’re hurt, I’ll call the doctor right away!”
“No need…” Hai Xiaotang stopped her. “I’m fine.”
It was nothing more than a minor burn, not serious at all.
“What happened?” Dongfang Yu’s deep voice suddenly echoed.
At the sound of the commotion, he had emerged from the conference room.
The secretary turned even paler at the sight of him, “President, it was my fault, 1 accidentally spilled coffee on Madam, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!”
Hai Xiaotang responded calmly, “I’m fine.”
Dongfang Yu’s gaze fell on her pale arm, a large area of which was now reddened by the burn.
With a large stride, he took her hand, his expression displeased, “Burnt?”
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, “No, this little injury doesn’t matter.”
Dongfang Yu was slightly taken aback, looking at Hai Xiaotang with a complex expression. Her response was a bit unexpected.
In the past, she would definitely have vented her anger.
Now, she was surprisingly calm and composed…
“Go buy burn ointment and bring back a new dress,” he instructed the secretary, then led Hai Xiaotang towards the restroom.
Hai Xiaotang followed him in surprise, not knowing what he had in mind.
Lin Xinxin, who had followed them out, quickly intercepted the secretary, “Madam’s injury is more important. You go get the burn ointment, and i’ll help you buy the dress. Otherwise, we might not have enough time.”
The secretary nodded gratefully, “Okay, I’ll go right now. Thank you!”
“No problem.” Lin Xinxin smiled and joined the secretary in taking the elevator..
