Chapter 500  : An Invitation

Xiaoyu looked up and thought for a moment. She then looked at the time and said, ā€œHeā€™s probably in. I wasnā€™t paying attention.ā€

Charlene smiled and then asked, ā€œDo you get many opportunities to go into the CEOā€™s office?ā€

ā€œNot really because Mr. Zhang is usually the one who interacts with CEO Gu.ā€ Xiaoyu replied with an incredulous expression on her face.

ā€œI see.ā€ Charlene was lost in thought.

She needed to think of a way to get close to Brother Gu. How else would she win him over?

Charlene looked at the time. It was 9:30; her Brother Gu should have arrived in his office.

She straightened her clothes, picked up a notebook and walked towards the CEOā€™s office.

ā€œKnock, knockā€¦ā€ Gu Shaoting was startled when he heard the knock on the door because he was saying sweet nothings to Shu Pan.

Shu Pan also heard the knock on the end of the call, so she found an excuse and hung up.

ā€œPlease come inā€¦ā€ Gu Shaoting said in an annoyed tone because he didnā€™t appreciate the interruption.

ā€œBrother Gu, is this a bad time?ā€ Charlene carefully poked her head in.

ā€œItā€™s fine. Come in.ā€ Gu Shaoting suppressed his annoyance when he saw that it was Charlene.

ā€œBrother Gu, my presence here has troubled you.ā€ Charlene said politely like a submissive little wife. She believed in the saying ā€œone step back today for two steps forward tomorrowā€.

ā€œNot at all. If thereā€™s anything you donā€™t understand, just ask. I asked Mr. Zhang to supervise you because Iā€™m quite busy and not always in the office.ā€ Gu Shaotingā€™s words made sense.

Charlene stood beside Gu Shaotingā€™s desk, all tall and charming with her beautiful, fair skin. Her every move exuded the elegance of a wealthy young miss. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were wandering with excitement.

But no matter what her expression and thoughts were, Gu Shaoting seemed indifferent because he was thinking where he should take Shu Pan for lunch later.

They worked at different companies at different locations and Shu Pan was busy with Joy when they were home. They didnā€™t really get much couple time.

Therefore, their two-hour lunch break was precious.

ā€œBrother Gu, I have a few questions for you, but I donā€™t want to disturb you at work. Is lunchtime today convenient for you? Letā€™s have lunch together.ā€ Charleneā€™s invitation sounded so legit that it was difficult to decline. Gu Shaoting wanted to tell her to cut to the chase but held back when he saw her eager eyes.

He also thought about how he hadnā€™t yet welcomed her after she touched down on this foreign land.

ā€œAlright, let me get some work done first. Please ask Mr. Zhang to come along.ā€ Gu Shaoting thought that having his secretary at their lunch would be better. He would ask Shu Pan for her opinion later.

ā€œThanks, Brother Gu. I shanā€™t disturb you anymore.ā€ Charlene was so happy that she wanted to dance. She didnā€™t expect things to go so smoothly. As for Mr. Zhang, he would probably be too busy to join them later.

After Charlene finished, she politely left Gu Shaotingā€™s office.

Gu Shaoting finally had his peace. He shrugged as he wondered what young girls nowadays were thinking.

He got down to work.

It was almost noon when Gu Shaoting looked at the time. He called Shu Pan.

ā€œWifey, what are you doing? Come to my office. Weā€™ll have lunch together.ā€ Gu Shaoting said as soon as the call was connected.

ā€œAll that running around is too much trouble. Iā€™ll just find something to eat my office cafeteria.ā€ Shu Pan was reluctant.

ā€œA friend has just arrived and itā€™s a welcome lunch.ā€ Gu Shaoting said awkwardly.

Shu Pan thought that Gu Shaoting was referring to one of his male friends, so she didnā€™t take it to heart. šŸš—æeeš˜„š—²š—Æš§oš˜ƒel.šœošš–
